Rarely do the discoveries of the

the name Of "Bob" Womack. famous
as the "discoverer" Of Cripple Greek.
A Colorado Springs dispatch this

Womack's story is as old as the
history Of mining. Inspired by the

a neglected lot in the cemetery/o on
the bluff overlooking Bozeman and
the Gallaiin valley is a grave, where
lay the bones Of the man who dis
covered the great Comstock lode in

lowed his discovery made many rich
and gave tremendous fortune and
power to few. Yet after his discov-
cry, comstock wandered northward
into Montana, only to die under trag-
ic circumstance under the shadow of
the Bridger range.
Too often the pioneer fails to share
in the good fortune that follows his
period Of sacrifice and strenuous en-

the way for those who are to follow,
and very rarely is able to reap where

TRUSTEES MUST PAY POLL TAX Attorney General Reafrms
 Ruling. WRITES TO RAY RUSHTON Sets Forth Various Rules as to
 Poll Tax. Dwells UDon Case of rinl<lea vs. Parrish, which is Taken As
 Authority For Most of
 Rulings on The

Re-affirming former opinions in which he declared district school trus- tees liable to poll tax payment. Att torney General Garber Friday render ed an unofficial opinion at the request of MT. Ray Rushton. of Montgomery. The attorney general states that he has considered the question upon It's constitutional phase. but that there Is still no doubt as to the liability of the trustees under the provisions of the new Code. adopted May l, 1908.
 Several other phases of the poll tax question are touched in the opinion. The attorney general sets forth authority to uphold several of his rul- inss as to poll tax payments and yot- ing qualification.
 The opinion. embodied in a letter to Hon. Ray Rushton, is:
 I have your letter of the 25th in stant. On April 2. 1908, I rendered an opinion to Hon. H. c. Gunnels, Super intendent of Education, on the sub ject of the liability of district school trustees for payment of poll taxes. In this opinion I stated that the new code, which became effective on May 1st, 1908. abolished entirely township
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-11-27

trustees and omitted section s57s of the Code of 1888 which contained the exemption of township trustees from the payment of poll taxes. and that the new code contained no provision exempting district trustees from the payment of such taxes; and that in my opinion this effected change In the status of district trustees in TO- spect to the payment of poll taxes. and subsequent to May 1, 1908. these officers were subject to the payment of this tax.
 Thus, the district school trustees who were elected on the first Satur- day in July. 1908. under the influence of the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of Finklea vs. Parrish. 4s So. 3ss, were liable for the poll tax which became duo and payable on October l, 1908, and delinquent after the first of February. 1909 Since the rendition of the above opinion. have considered questions of a constitu- tional character bearing on the sub ject, which were not discussed in my opinion to the Superintendent of Education, but after having consider ed very carefully the whole question with respect both to the constitution and the statutes, 1t is my judgment that the conclusion reached in my opinion of April 2. 1908. Is sound. and that subsequent to May 1, 1908, dis trict school trustees were not exempt from the payment of poll taxes.
 have also written number of un- official opinions In reply to inquiries from private citizens holding that.
 First--Under the opinion of the Su- preme court in the case of Finklea vs. Parrish, 49 So. 36s. a young man who reached the age of 21 years at any time after October 1. 1907, and be- fore October 1. 1908. was liable for a poll tax which became due and pay able on october 1. 1908. and delinquent after February 1. 1909,
 Second--Under the opinion of the Supreme court in the case of Finklea vs. Parrish. supra. which Is in conflict with the case of Frost vs. State, 153 Ala. 654, man who reached the age of 45 years in September. 1908. Cor on any date subsequent to Oct. 1st, 19oO would mot be required, under the con- stitution. to pay the poll tax which became due and payable on October 1st, 1908,
 Third-The payment of delinquent poll taxes, or what is termed back poll taxes after February lst, 1909, will not render a man a qualified eieetor in the election to be held on November 29th. 1909. l
 This letter is unofficial. See sec tion 635 of the Code.
