WashinSton's voteless citizens
have doubtless pictured the District
tax collector as a species of octo-
pus. reaching out for poor victims
whom he may gouge of their earn
inSS.
Anyone who knows Ben l. Prince
has a decidedly different opinion. In
TACT. they deem il a pleasure to pay
taxes to the genial and very human
Texan whose picture appears above.
In addition to his duties as tax
collector. Mr.. Prince served as
chairman of local draft board No.
10. which included the residential
section in Mount Pleasant and
vicinity. During this time he de-
voted all his energy to the task of
registering Washington's young
manhood for the fight against the
Kaiser and worked night and day.
Mr.. Prince was born on a farm
in Limestone County, Texas, in
1881. He received his education in
the county schools: the Southwes-
tern University. Georgetown. Tex;
the State Normal School at Hunts
VILE. Tex. and the Metropolitan
Business College. of Dallas. Tex.
In November. 1907, he came TO
Washington with Representative
Rufus Hardy as his private secretary.
For four years he was clerk to the
Committee on Expenditures OF the
Navy.
In 1914 he was appointed District
tax collector by the Boari of Com
missioners, then cor,posed of Com
missioners Newman. Siddons and
Harding. He has beer serving in this
capacity since that time.
Mr.. Prince slips away frequently
these fine days for fishing trips to
Benedict. and it is rumored that he
is as good at snagging bass as he
is collecting taxes from the unwilling
public. He is also interested in golf
and swimming.
He has been married six years and
is the father OF a 4-year-oId girl He
is a director for the Board of Trade,
and member of the Commercial
