Some time ago the estimate made
OF the amount of this tax delinquent
placed the total at something like
$1,000 900. This tax can be collected
by law at this time. but there Is not
an officer in any city or county in
the State who is paying attention to
this phase OF his duties. the result
being that in every city and county in
than so per cent of the qualified
vuters-thOse who could vote IL their
taxes were paid-who have no more
vote than a schoolgirl This sum is
growing each year. and at this time

they argued earnestly and long for re-
consideration and TO defeat the
amendment Mr. Moss. of Lynchburg,
