Have You Paid Your Poll Tax?

The Journal desires 10 call attention
again to the fact that the time for
paying poll tax has nearly expired,
and unless you have a receipt for this
years poll tax you are dead one so
far as real influence goes on any of
the important subjects that are likely
to come up during the next two years.
Do you favor Parish divisions? then
pay your poll tax and be prepared
to vote for it. DO you oppose Parish
division? if so pay your poll tax so
that you can vote against it, for it is
sure to come up again within the next
two years. Are you in favor OF, or
opposed to the present prohibition
law? if you are, better pay your tax
so as to be able to vote your senti-
ments as it may come up again some
time. In any event if you desire to
be a full fledged American citizen
pay your poll tax and retain your
franchise. If you are a new CONNER
here pay your poll tax prior to
January first so that you will be a
voter when you have obtained a legal
residence here. Never fear about not
staying. You will stay alright and
will want somebody to kick you if
you have not your poll tax receipt.
PAY your dollar now while YOU think
alb out it.
