The Poll Tax Case

The Supreme Court of the State
has done good thing i'm deciding
to hear the question of the per
sonally" paid poll taxes in this
State, and to determine once for
all just what is the law i'm the mat
ter. As 1t now stands, every
treasurer in the State has TO make
his own decision as to whether
personally" paid means that
every man shall in person hand his
$3.50 poll tax to the treasurer. In
some cases it has been held that
not even the check of the taxpayer
sent through the mail to the treas
urer constitutes a personal pay
ment, and in that case the treasurer.
in another city, did not put the
name on the list as paid, and con-
sequently the question of certify
ing the list of those who have
paid their poll taxes" did not touch
that case. The whole matter is
mixed and complicated, and it is
well to have the court clearly define
the law. 1t should be done at once
so that if any statutory provisions
are needed the Legislature can act
at this session, for if the court de-
cides that the treasurer must be
paid in person by the taxpayer
there must be some law providing
for a method of determination by
the treasurer as to the personality
of the men offering to pay. 1t is
a good question to have settled
once for all time.-Norfolk Ledger

ONCE MORE, TO THE BREACH

Our call for prompt action on
the part of our debtors has brought
some results, but not nearly so
muchas we had hoped and expected.
Bills for over $500 for subscrip-
tons, advertising and printing
were sent out, and a strong appeal
was made in these columns for
prompt remittances.
Up to the time of going to press
today, only about $3.50 of the $500
has been received. That is at the
rate of about 30 cents on the dollar.
Perhaps the friends who owe us
that other $3.50 are intending to
send it in this week or next week.
We hope so.
The dollar or two that each one
owes us will be easy for them to
pay. The $3.50 that is due US in total
will help US along a great deal.
You can readily see that, can't

your remittance and expecting it
