WOMEN SHOULD PAY
 POLL TAX AND VOTE
Patriotic Duty of Arkansas Wo- men to Exercise Right of
 Primary Suffrage

Among other obligations that have come to the women of Arkansas since our entrance into the Great War, that of suffrage is the most important. Fol it is an obligation no less than right and privilege, and every woman in the state IS urged to consider it from that viewpoint.
 There are a few easily un- derstood facts that should ap- peal to these thousnds of new voters in Arkansas:
 According the ruling of At torney-General Arbuckle, wo- men otherwise qualified may pay their poll-taxes, without penalty, up to the day of elec- tion, to vote in the primary el- eetion of May 28.
 Poll-taXes for this year may be paid without penalty up to July 1, which will qualify for subsequent primaries, which usually begin with Little Rock in December.
 It has been held by the At torney-General that Arkansas soldiers outside the state can not vote in Arkansas elections as the nonresident voters act applies only to electors away from home but inside the con fines of the state. This will de- priVe the state of thosands of voters.
 Arkansas is one of the seven states where aliens are permit ted to vote-it is expected this will be remedied by the next
