RULINGS GIVEN
ON THE POLL TAX
QUALIFICATIONS
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES THE
LAW VERY PLAIN ON
SUBJECT.
OF INTEREST TO ALL VOTERS
Taxes on Property as Well as Poll
Tax Must be Paid by Men Under
60 If They Vote.

Jackson, Miss, April 2S.-There
has been constant misunderstand-
ing of the rulings of the attorney
generals office on the poll tax qualifi-
cations of the voters in the state.
The, ruling simply defined, that
MIST be born in mind by the voters
of tie state and the election commits
sioners OF the various districts is that
those persons who have net paid their
poll taxes for the preceding two years
on or before the first day of February
of the present year, whether they
have been assessed with poll tax or
not, will not be entitled to vote in the
coming primaries, and in the general
election next November.
In an opinion officially rendered
yesterday, Assistant General Fox
states:
Section 241 of the constitution re-
quires that in order for one to be
a qualified elector, he must have paid,
on or before the first day of February
in the year in which he shall offer to
vote all taxes which have been legally
required of him, and which he has
had an opportunity of paying accord
ing to law for the two preceding
years"
Section 24S of the constitution is,
in part, as follows:
"A uniform poll tax of 50, to be
used in aid of the common schools
and for no other purpose, is hereby
imposed on every male inhabitant of
this state between the ages of 81 and
60, except persons who are deaf and
dumb, or blind, or who are MANNED by
loss Of hand or foot"
Section 112 of the constitution is,
in part, as follows:
Taxation shall be uniform and
equal throughout the state. Property
shall be taxed in proportion to its
value. The legislature may, however,
impose a tax per capita, upon such
domestic animals as from their ma
ture and habits are destructive of
other property. Property shall be
assessed for taxes under general laws
and by uniform rules according to its
true value"
The attorney generals ruling was
that section 243 of the constitution. of
itself, assessed every male inhabit-
ant of this state between the ages
of q and 60 years" etc, with a poll
tax of 50. If the legislature had
never required that persons be as
sessed with a poll tax, they would
still be liable for the poll tax and it
could be collected from them. The
intention of the makers of the consti-
tuition becomes plain when we con-
trast the language used in section 243
in which a poll tax is hereby i'm
posed with section 112, which re-
quires that property shall be assess
ed for taxes. Under Section 112, a
property tax cannot be legally re-
quired" of the property within the
meaning of section 242 until the prop
erty shall be assessed for taxes. There
was no constitutional provision for
assessment, however, of poll taxes.
BY section 24S, "a uniform poll tax of
81 is hereby imposed"
The attorney general ruled that

the city was under any obligations
to give any one a job for life. There
are others who are old residents, and
likewise taxpayers. who are entitled

There was so much "fussiness" In

dermen tried to sidetrack the night
Sob question by Introducing some
new business. The mayor, however,
called him to account, and declared
that the night job problem would be
settled right now-either let the
new man go, employ some one else
in his place. or no one at all. mo-
ton was then made that Emerson be
