COLLECTING POLL TAX.

Poll tax delinquents are put on no
tice that collector rs after them TO
enforce collections of revenue OF
which the city is In great need just
now. The finance committee of the
general council Il Is authoratively
stated, will take under consideration
some new method of collecting poll
tax hereafter. and we are justified in
assuming that the new method will be
one designed to facilitate the collec-
ton OF poll taxes before they are four
or five years old. Property owners are
compelled to pay their poll taxes.
when they pay their property tax; but
the Others go uncollected. principally
because citizens are not reminded.
These 1908, 1907 1905. 1906 and
1907 taxes are turned over to the
city solicitor. we understand. as de-
iinquents and he Is allowed so cents
apiece for collecting them. He then
must employ someone to make the
collections. Why could not, the, city
simply employ someone as dhe solici-
tor has Mr.. Lehnhard. and give him
a percent, or put penalty on delin-
quents and give him the penalty?
Thus the city could get the whole
amount OF the polls and collections
could be enforced before the taxes are
four years old A collector of polls
even before they become delinqueb:I
would facilitate collections.

Armitage was thinking rapidly Of
something he had suddenly resolved TO
say TO Captain Claiborne. He knew that
the Claibornes were a family OF dis
,inction. The father was an American
diplomat and lawyer OF wide reputa-
ton. The family stood for the best Of
which America Is capable, and they
were homeward bound TO the Amer
lean capital. where their social position
and the fathers fame made them con-
splcuous.
Armitage put down his cigar and
bent toward Claiborne. speaking with
quiet directness.
Captain Claiborne, was introduced
to you at Geneva by Mr.. Singleton.
You may have observed me several
times previously at Venice, Rome,
Florence, Paris, Berlin. certainly

VIII Vote ON Prohibition.

San Antonio. Tex, Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic convention consumed the
entire time In a discussion of the plat
form and the injection of the Bailey
issue into the convention by Congress
man Randell, who, In offering an
amendment to the platform. caused a
bitter fight, in which the Bailey peo-
pie won out by close vote.
A test vote Just previous to adj
journment shows that the plank in
the platform psedging the Legislature
to call a special election in order to
give the people of the State an oppor-
tunity to vote on statewide prohibit
tion Is sure to carry.
The other principal planks in the
platform are those declaring for a
guarantee OF state bank deposits and
a revision of the civil and criminal
procedure.
