FUND
Registration is Begun by so
Deputies Under Poll Tax
Law Passed at Last Legis-
lative Session.

Schools of Imperial county will be
financially benefited to the extent of
about $4,000 from the collection of
alien poll tax which will be collected
from all male aliens between the ages
of q and 60 under the provisions of
the new alien poll tax law which be-
comes effective August !.
Registration of aliens has begun,
IzZet B. Suryieh, born in Mansaura,
Egypt, being the first to register at
the county clerks office. He is now
employed by the McDevitt company on
the soldier rehabilitation project.
Fifty deputy registrars have been
appointed by County Clerk M. S. Cook,
one being named in each school dis"
trict, and each is now ready to reg
lister aliens and collect the $40 tax re-
quired under Xe law.
AS this marks the first year Of the
payment of an alien poll tax, the new
law provides that for 1921 the poll
tax shall become due and payable on
the first day of August and becomes
delinquent if not paid on or proc to
Dec. 81, when there is added a penalty
of 50 per cent for such delinquency.
In all succeeding years the poll tax
becomes due and payable on the first
Monday in March and is delinquent if
not paid on or before the following
July 81, with the so per cent penalty
added.
Further provisions of the law pro
vide that the county assessor is to col
lect all poll taxes and all penalties and
that this sum is to be paid into the
county treasury for the benefit of the
public school fund. On the conserya-
tive estimate of $500 male aliens elig-
IDLE to pay the poll tax the school
fund will derive an income of at least
$4,000. Should there be number of
penalties for failure to pay before the
delinquent date, this sum will be con-
siderably augmented by the so per
cent, penalty provided for each delin-
quency.
