ATTORNEY GENERAL EXPLAINS POLL TAX LAW
Be Properly Made When Poll Tax
Is Collected From Citizens.

Austin, Textile attorney gen
erals department Monday held that
person can not pay his poll tax IN
less he is regularly assessed by the
assessor or collector. This means that
person can not simply pay his poll
tax and fail TO render property sub
ject 10 taxation. he must render
everything taxable as prerequisite
TO securing his poll tax receipt Oc-
casionally property is not on the tax
roll and persons would have il es
cape by not rendering same. yet pay
their poll tax This is not lawful,
says the attorney general All must
be rendered or no poll tax accept
able. Then, too, renditions are made
under oath and perjury would mean
the penitentiary.
In towns of less than 10000 popu-
lation, poll taxes may be paid through
an agent, while elsewhere they must
be paid in person 1t appears that in
a town of less than 10000 inhabitants
there is an effort being made 10 pay
- '"NOo 'iiNu@h OH agent "i'houC
the persons submitting to an assess
ment 1t can not be done. says the
attorney general. Payment through
an agent where there was no ASSESS
ment might open up the way for fic-
titious names on the poll tax dis
tricts. That is avoided by requiring
assessments under oath.
Where the assessor has not the
name of an applicant on his list, the
collector may assess under article
1916, revised statutes, and then ac-
.cept taxes. Poll taxes may be paid
without the payment of property tax,
but when property tax is paid the poll
tax must accompany same.
