PAY THAT POLL TAX.

We again call the attention Of
our citizens to the fact that they
should not fail to pay their poll
tax before the end of this year.
There remains only SEVEN more
dnr- and if any one fails to pay
his Poll tax within that time he is
dIsfrancI'ised from voting for his
! choice for Office in the election OF
1908 or any other election. The
'aw is very plain on this
subject, and says that all voters
under sixty years of age, in order
to cast their ballots in State, parish
and municipal elections after the
last day of 1906, which is the 31st
day of December, must have paid
their poll taxes for two years
preceding the year in which they
offer to vote, and the receipt as
evidence that the tax has been
paid must be presented at the
polls.
Therefore if you want to vote in
1908 you must have your poll tax
receipts for the years 1906 and 1907.
No citizen who has any apprecia-
ton OF the righ. of suffrage will
object to paying this small tax, for
as soon as it is collected, it is
turned over to the School Board
for the benefit of the public schools
through the parish. Aside from
the fact that the privilege Of vot-
ing is one to be highly valued by
every citizen, no matter how
humble may be his circumstances,
should be willing to contribute al
dollar a year for the support of the |
public schools in which his child
rem are being educated. Any in
dividual who would forfeit his
vote rather than pay such a trifling |
sum is certainly too mean a person
to enjoy the rights of American
citizenship
Our people should not lose sight
of the factlthat two years from now
here will be a State, Parish and
Congressional election, and it is
he duty of every man who has
my regard for the welfare of his
State and his Parish to pay his !
DOLL tax. If you don't want to be
iisfranchised in 1908 you had
better pay your poll tax at ONCE,
or there is not much time to be
Ost.

Vast as was the volume of relief
In money and supplies poured out by
the country for sufferers by the San
Francisco earthquake and fire, there
still remains a fund of about 6,OOO,-
600 to continue what is perhaps the
greatest work of organized charity
the world has ever known. The last
meeting of the National Red Cross
learned that the local San Francisco
Committee still has on hand $2,3S2,-
600. There are unpaid subscriptions
which are Immediately available
amounting to $4,000, and the
American Red Cross funds amount
to $2,500,0O0 additional. The re-
cent meeting was called to consider
the estimates submitted by President
Phelen, of the Incorporated San
Francisco Relief and Red Cross
Funds, for the expenditure likely to
be required up to July 1, 1907.
Those estimates totalled $e.Os5.O
