WOMEN CANNOT VOTE UNLESS
POLL TAX IS PAID.
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
refer to statement In your pa
per Of last week wherein you say:
eve have been advised bv Ex-Sena-
tor R. o. Crockett that the women
will not have to pay poll taxes this
year or next year as prerequisite to
voting" There is evidently a misun-
derstanding of the conversation wa
had in this matter. Under the laws
of Virginia all women are required to
pay poll taxes as a prerequisite to
the right to vote. The women who
registered last year paid 1921 poll
taxes in advance and by reason OF
such payment had the right to vote
last year and also have the right to
vote this year and next year, with
out further payments. However, those
who have not paid poll taxes or who
shall not pay their poll taxes cannot
vote. All women who are twenty-one
years of age are assessable with pol
taxes.
Yours very truly,
R. o. CROCKETT.

SENATE VOTES CUT
IN ARMY TO 10000
Disregards, "a to 28, Advice of
Pershing, Baker and Its
Own Committee.

Washington.-Disregarding the ad-
vice of General Pershing, Secretary
Of War Baker and Senator Wads-
worth, chairman Of the Senate Com.
mittee on Military Affairs, as we'll as
other members of that committee, the
senate, by vote of "a to 2S adopted
provision reducing the regular army
to an enlisted strength not to exceed
10000 men. Testifying in executive
session before the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, General Pershing had
urged that whatever Congress saw fit
to do the army should not reduce its
enlisted strength to less than 100000.
Party lines were cast aside Twenty
four Republicans and ten Democrats
voted to reduce the army to 10000
men, while nine Democrats and nine
teen Republicans voted for an army
of 175,O00 men. Senator Wadsworth
Fsnf New,athe latter the author of the
original resolution, said they wished
1t made plain in the record that in
their opinion the senate had made d
grave mistake in taking such drastic
action. Senator Wadsworth called the
attention of the senate to the fact
that by its action 1t has directed that
the Chemical Warfare Service be re-
duced to less than 700 men, that it
has reduced by a third the enlisted
strength Of the Air Force, already
the smallest air service of any Of the
great powers; that the cavalry now
guarding the long Mexican border
line will be cut In half, while all other
services will be reduced to less than
"a per cent of their authorized
strength.
