Soldiers May Vote Though Poll Taxes

for the benefit of the soldier who
by reason of service in the army
did not pay his poll tax for 1918,
wrote to Attorney-Ge A. v.
Coco for an opinion on the sub
ject as to whether the said SOL
der would be entitled to vote.
The following letter from Attor-
ney-General is self-explanatory:
Baton Rouge. Oct IL, 1919.
Mr.. r. M. Hetherwick,
Clerk Of Court,
Alexandria, La.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of
your communication of the 18th
inst, in which you ask my adj
vice as to whether a soldier who
was drafted in the late war in
the spring of 1918, and discharg-
ed on the 18th of December of
the same year, but did not reach,
hrs home until after Jansary,
1919, and failed to pay his poll
tax for the year 1913, has lost
his right to vote in 1919, under
the provisions of Article 1893 of
the Constitution.
You wish to be further advised
as to whether this party could
not register in the year 1919, and
by paying his poll tax for that
year vote in the 1920 primary.
Under Act 271 of 1918, amend
ing Article 1893 of the Constitu-
ton, above referred to, the pro-
visions of said article as to the |
payment of poll taxes a prereq-
iisite to the right to vote are

discharge"

on the very threshold of over

American politics is in a state

tion-wide interest or to bring
voters to the polls in full strength
and to afford a fair test of the
relative standing of the two par
ties.
In 1916 the Democrats won by
a perilously narrow margin. In
1918 the Republicans won by
majorities that, if applied to the
quadrennial contest, would have
given them full control of the
government. But much has
happened since then. The war
has come to an end. The treaty
of peace has become the heading
issue before the country-a poll
tical issue that is and yet is not
a party issue. Most of the Dem
ocrats. though not all of them,
advocate it. Republicans in
large numbers, but by no means
all of them oppose it. An at
tempt to make it a real party
test would be a hazardous ex-
pertinent for those who should
make it; yet there is to-day ne
matter that more nearly aligns
the members of both parties on
tn cir respective sides. The
treaty must have a great influ-
ence on the result of the Novem-
Der elections; but what that re-
suit will be no man can tell.
That is not the only puzzle.
We are facing a serious situation

political possibilities that result
from prominence and success OF

During June there were "a convic-

July. 1918, there were 26 convictions,
including 10 for drunkenness.

Der of DRINKS in juno of this year may
be accounted for by the desire on the
part Of many to stage one last party
before the drought"

today that the coming of national
