body held that it was the intention"
of the legislature to exempt cities OF
the first class from the provisions of
the law.
All Cities Included.
Since then people in the country
and the small towns have paid the poll
tax and those in cities of the first class
have escap ped. But the new law makes
it plain that cities of the first class and
all other cities are included. 1t pro-
vides that every male citizen shall pay
a poll tax of SO a year or work two
days upon the pubic roads or streets at
the rate of $3.50 a day, which he shall
not receive.
Failure on the part of the township
trustee in the country or the street
commissioner in the city to collect the
tax or its equivalent in work is pun
ishable first by a fine. He may be
fined not less than 500 and not more
than $500. Besides that he may be
removed from office.
In Topeka the collection of the poll
tax will fall upon the department over
which Commissioner w. G.. Tandy
presides. Under the new law he must
collect SO from every male citizen be.
tween the ages of 81 and so years of
age, who has been a. resident of To-
peka for thirty days September 1.
Schoch Shocked at News.
Senator Schoch, of Shawnee, was
not aware until today that the new
law made any radical change in the
old law. The old law provided for a
poll tax of SO a year but it contained
no provision for its own enforcement
and besides the supreme court had
held that it did not apply to first class
cities.
The SO poll tax in Topeka will be in
addition to all other regular and spe-
cial taxes. 1t alone will be a greater
tax than at lease 10000 Topekans pay.
1t is estimated that there are ten or
twelve thousand male citizens in To-
peka between the specified ages and
if that is true the new law will raise
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually for
road and street work.
The new law will catch hundreds of
young unmarried men who now pay
no tax whatever.

For Itching Scalp

You do not want slow trs ent
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store. a bottle of
zemo for 25c or $1O0 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and i'm
mediately stops itching scalp. 1t is
pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid. is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not STAIN
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain alkali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for it
is safe and also inexpensive.

Search for Bodies.

Bismarck, n. D., April 9.-Five are
