DISCHARGED SOLDIERS
MUST PAY POLL TAX

Ciarksdale, Miss. Jan. IA. ''l9.
Bolivar County Democrat.
Rosedale, Miss.
Gentlemen:
In the EAST few DAYS I have
received a great many inquiries
from the boys im the service ask
ing if they are required to pay
taxes. especially poll tax. before
the first OF February in order that
they may participate in the electin
next summer.
There seems to be an impression
that uuder the terms of the Act of
1918. providing Tor those absent in
the military service to vote, SOL
diers and sailors will not have to
pay their tax. Attention should
he called to the fact that this Act
applies to those who are in tbe
service at the time they offer to
vote, aud not to those who have
been discharged from service
When discharged they will ha,'
to vote just as any other citize'
and subject to the same requ,f
ments. II is quite likely that mos
of the boys from Mississippi VIII
be discharged from service before
August. next. and will at that tim.
be at home 10 vote. 1t is therefore
quite important that their friends
or relatives in the various counties
see to it that their taxes are paid
Since this is matter of publ
interest and is for the benefit
the boys in the service wi,hou
reference to their political affil
tions. l know that you will Rladi
give publicity to this communics
tion and will see to it that TIN,
the column OF your paper all al
advised of the necessity of payin,
all taxes due for the last two year,
OIL or before February /, 1919.
Yours truly.

OTHER POINTS OF VIEW
President Butler Says: Save"

There is much of wisdom in the
statement given out at Santa Bar
bara. Calf, by President Nicholas
Murray Butler Of Columbia Univer-
sity on the present economic prob
lens of this nation. In rigid price
fixing he sees no real remedy for
the high cost Of living. He finds
currency imitation an evil, but
thinks any sudden attempt 10 cor
rect II might bring new evils in IFS
train. He pcrceives in shorter hours
and war Generalization the reasons
for lesser production. Nevertheless
he would not attack the eight-hour
day for most occupations, but would
emphasize the necessity Of balanc-
ing its effects with those Of improV-
ed machinery in manufacture and
Of more intensive methods in agri-
culture.
One duty is emphasized, the duty
of national. state. municipal and in
dividual economy Eighteen of our
states are spending more money
than they take in from taxation.
Cities are proverbially wasteful.
In five years the interest on the
worlds national debt has sprung
from $4,000, 100000, TO si0,0o0,0O0.-
600. The economic influence OF
these conditions on prices cannot
be misunderstood. Proflteerlng, in
DR.. Buffers opinion, may wisely be
made criminal, but that will not
make the dollar worth what it was
before the war.
We must work, producing all we
can produce Of the things men need.
We must save as individuals, save
as families. TO the point Of genuine
self denial. In this way. and in this
way only, can America and the
world meet .intelligently existing
and emminent conditions.- Brooklyn
