\ new state constitution is just going
into effect in Virginia, and the peo-
pie for the first time seem to realize
what some of its provisions mean. For
instance. several leading papers have
Just discovered that it will disfrsH-
chise a great many of the voters in tn"
State, white as well as colored. through
the complications surrounding its SUI
fracc provision. AS a result of one OF
these provisions Il mans vote depends
upon the payment of his poll tax six
months before election which certain
" seems a needless requirement and
one which is sure to prove burden
some in many cases. 1t is now charged
that the promoters or this new
constitution had in mind the estab-
lishment in Virginia of an oligarchy
such as existed in the old days before
the war when slavocracy ruled ami
those voted and held office who owned
s'niggers." Whatever the object. 1t
seems likely that Virginia's new con-
stitution will prevent many poor men
both white and black. from voting. II
this absurd provision referred 20 above
is enforced.
