POLL TAXES MUST BE PAID IN

Receipts Issued After Last Day of January.

Austin. Tex, Jan. 2O.-From the
large number Of inquiries being re-
ceived daily by the attorney generals
department on the subject. It is very
apparent that many Of the county tax
collectors are not fully advisers on the
recent ruling OF the department on the
question OF the restrictions placed upon
the payment Of poll taxes.
This ruling. written by assistant at
tOrney general Mead, provides that
there shall be no deputy collectors
stationed at various points in a citv
during the last two weeks to Issue poll
tax receipts.
During the last two weeks in
January, in every city in the state es-
pecially the larger ones. there is a mad
rush to pay poll taxes, and heretofore
IN order 10 facilitate or expedite the
work. the collector would emDIv a
number OF deputies to issue these
receipts at different places about tov-D
but this cannot be done anv more
under the construction Of the law
placed thereon by the attorney gener-
