.P0LL-TAX RULING
BA D F OR PAR TY
Democrats Fear It Will Keep
Many Business People from
Voting in Elections.

There was a good deal OF adverse
comment around the State Offices yes
terday concerning the action Of the
State Supreme Court at Wytheville in
refusing to reopen the poll tax cases,
from Norfolk city. in which 1t was
recently decided that in order to
qualify to vote a citizen must per
sonally" pay his taxes. This is con-
strued to mean that man may not
send check to the treasurer, but
that he must actually and physically
present the amount to the treasurer in
person. This was the effect Of the
original decision handed down some
months ago. which was written by
Judge Buchanan. Attorney General
Anderson asked for a irehearing. which
the court refused.
1t is said that the practical work
inEs Of the decision vii be to disfran-
chise u large number Of business men
who never personally pay their
taxes, and to let in an unsatisfactory
class who will personally" pay II
the money is placed in their hands by
candidates and party managers. The
decision is not at all popular anc
though it is perhaps final, Democratic
leaders say it is capable of great
abuse, and may result in bringing
about the very conditions the cour
sought to prevent.
