ATTORNEY GENERAL
BUFORD'S OPINION
Florida Women Must Pay Poll Tax
and Can't Serve as Jurors Until
Statute is Changed

Tallahassee, March 10.-Florida
women are not qualified as legal elec-
tors until they have paid their poll
tax, neither are they eligible for jury
duty within the state until the legis-
lature changes the statute defining
the qualification of juror, according
to an opinion by Attorney General
Buford.
UNLESS SHE LOST A LIMB IN
BATTLE
One paragraph of Mr.. Buford's
opinion reads:
"The effect of the nineteenth
amendment upon the statute of Flor
ida defining the qualification of elec-
tors. simply was to eliminate the
word male 1t is therefore my opin-
ion that a woman who is more than
21 years of age and under 55 years OF
age, and who has not lost limb in
battle, must pay a-poll tax to qualify
as legal elector."
