Released Soldiers Must Pay Poll Tax.
Monroe, La, Dec. 15.-There
has been some difference of
opinion here in regard to the law
exempting soldiers from the pay
ment of poll taxes and Sheriff T.
A. Grant, of Ouachita parish,
wrote Attorney General A. ".
Coco for a ruling on the matter.
He received the following reply:
las / construe your inquiry it
is in reference to soldiers who
have been taken out of the SER
vice by discharge and l will make
my answer cover that contingent
cy, for you are no doubt aware
that by recent amendment to the
constitution, soldiers were ex-
empted from the payment of
poll taxes while in service.
Article 1913, of the constitu-
ton, as amended by Act 271, of
1918, exempts persons in the
military service of the state or
of the United States during the
time of war; and further pro-
vides that this tax shall not be
assessed against persons who
entered the military service after
the first of January, 1916, and
who have since been honorably
discharged, provided that such
persons shall pay all poll taxes
such assessed against them after
discharge
Il conclude from the above
that whenever a person has been
in the war service of the United
States or of the state, that the
exemption provided by the arti-
Gle is automatically removed
when such person is honorably
discharged and is restored to his
civil duties and this independent
ly of the question as to when he
was discharged, whether at the
beginning of the year or shortly
before the expiration Of the time
within which the tax must be
paid to preserve the right of suf-
frage, that is, on or before De-
cember 81"
