vOv :N MUTT WAIT
 ONE YEAR TO VOTE
Attorney General Rules That A'I They Must Hold Poll Tax Re reinfs-Did Not Pass on the Validity of Right to Vote.

Theoretically Arkansas is an equal sofragette state so far as primary .loot;ons are concerned. Actually, Arkansas women will not be able to ovorcise their newly acquired right of franchise this year.
 The fly in the ointment, or the sav- ;nc clause, according to whether the matter is viewed from the suffrage or ,ba anti-suffrage standpoint, is, that voters are required to show poll tax receipts for the year next preceding ,be election in which they desire to vote,
 One who votes during 1917 must have 1916 poll tax receipt to qualify, and under existing laws the poll tax must he paid before July 1. Chance for Young Women. A section of the election laws, how ever. excepts such persons who shall have attained the age of 21 within the time of assessing taxes, May to Sep tember, if he possesses the other quail fcations. Nc change is made in these resuirements by the Riggs act, recent y signed by the governor, which con fers upon women the right to vote in primary elections.
 In reply to letter from Walter Conway of TeXarkana, asking if wo- mer would be allowed to vote in the Democratic primary to be held there March IA, Attorney General John r. Arbuckle yesterday stated as his opin- ion that they should not.
 Attorney General Arbuckle did not attempt to pass upon the validity of the act granting the right to women to vote in primaries. He simply an swers the questions as to the right of the women of TeXarkana to vote in the primary in that city on March IA.
 The Opinion.
 The opinion follows:
 The bill which has now become a law giving women the right to vote in the primary reads as follows:
 "From and after the passage Of thlS act subject to all the provisions of the laws of this state, as to age, residence, citizenship, payment of poll taxes and otherwise regulating the manner and form of holding the same l; put specially exempt from every dis qualification direct or indirect on ac- count of sex, every woman in the aate shall have right to vote at any primary election held under the laws Ol this state. Provided, that no wo-

ONLY ONE MEMBER HAS
 DESIGNS ON CONVENTION

Little Rock March 9.-Only one member of the 1917 Senate went home with any designs on the constitutional convention, so far as was made pub lie. John L. Carter of Eudora, Chicot county, intimated that he might re- turn, saying that he had been impor- tuned by many to make the race, and that he probably would heed the call. Senator Carter was an administration leader in the session just closed.

Must Have Poll Tax.

No person shall be allowed to vote at any primary election held under the laws of this state, who shall not ex- hibit a poll tax receipt, or other evil dence that he has paid his poll tax within the time prescribed by law to entitle him to vote at the succeeding general state election. Such other evil dence shall be: (a) A copy of such receipt duly certified by the clerk of the county court of the county where such tax was paid. (b) Or, such per sons name shall appear upon the list required to be certified to the judges of election by Section 2994. Or, if any person offering to vote shall have at tained the age of 21 years since the time of assessing taxes next preceding such election, which period of assess ment is here declared to mean between the second Monday in May and the second Monday in September of each year, and possesses the other neces- sary qualifications, and shall submit evidence by written affidavit, satisfac- tory to the judges of election, estab- fishing that fact, he shall be permitted to vote"
 "Hence you will see from the above that primary elections are made legal elections, that the poll tax receipt is a requisite to the privilege of voting at primary election; that the only per son excepted under the poll tax re quirements is the young man who has become of age since the time for as sessing taxes. It is therefore clearly seen from the above that women can not, under the law, be allowed to vote in your primary election to be held there on the 14th of this month"

man shall be allowed to vote at any primary election unless when request ed by the judges she will make oath that she IS of the same political faith. of the party holding said primary cleo tion and that she will give her moral support to the nominees of said politi- cal party"
 "Section ?. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act are here by repealed"
 Act April 23, 1909, page 5O5, reads as follows: Whenever any political party in this state shall, by primary election, nominate any person to be- come a candidate at any general cleo tlon, regular or special, or for United States senator, or for Congress, or any legislative, judicial, state, district, county, township or municipal office, the said primary election shall be and is hereby made legal election" And the section of the act initiated by the people and adopted at election Novem- Der ', 1916, which makes a poll tax receipt requisite to right of suffrage, reads as follows:
