The Poll Tax List Extortion


Editor Clinch Valley News:
Please let us know through YOUR
columns the cost OF printing the
poll tax list OF your county under
lhe new law for the past 3 years
Respectfully,
Russell Va, Voter
The account sworn to by Clerk
and paid by Board of Supervisors In
July of this year, was 1904. As. The
charge for the past several years was
not quite so large. The first year, we
believe, the bill was cut down TO
about $3.50. The next year about
$500. We haven't exact figuers. This
year there will be two lists to pre-
pare, which will make the cost to
the county about $1,000. The work is
done in the Clerks office on a ma
chine.
Under the old law these lists were
put out to the lowest bidder, and
generally averaged about SO. The
Clerk of the court here can furnish
exact figures In answer to Voters
inquiry, If he will ask him. What
is the cost in your county, Russell :?

IMPOSSIBLE TO OBEY
Railroad Laws Too Cumbersome.
Declares Rock Island Official.

THE interstate commerce commission
itself couldn't take control OF any single
line OF railroad in this country and run
it according to the laws regulating rail-
roads that are now laid down in this
country. 1t would be impossible. The
laws are so cumbersome and burdensome
that it is physical impossibility for the
railroads to obey them
This was the statement Of E. B. Pierce.
general solicitor for the Rock Island rail-
road, before the House committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce at today's
hearing on the administration railroad
bill. Mr.. Pierce declared that certain sec
tons of the measure were impractical
Particularly he inveighed against that
part which proposes to compel railroads
to furnish to the commission copies Of
their traffic agreements
