Northern Shawnee.
MIR. and Mrs. VIII Cline. New
lyweds, DOdged Friends.

While no poll taxes have been col
1ected recently from residents of Sol
der and several other townships in
Shawnee county, steps will be taken
soon to make assessments, it is said.
Saturday afternoon members of the
Soldier township board met in the
board of directors room of the Shaw
nee State bank where, it is said, the
poll tax problem was discussed.
In many instances no mention of
the poll tax was made on the state
ments announcing the amount of the
other taxes due the county. That
matter, however, is left altogether in
the hands of the township boards, the
county treasurer's office taking no
part in the assessment or collection as
is the case with other fees.
The poll tax is assessed only to per-
sons living outside of the city limits.
So whatever steps may be taken by
any of the township boards, residents
of North Topeka within the limits
