There are l615 voters in Han
cock County subject to poll tax
who have paid their taxes and
will be entitled to vote in the
November. election, while there
are a great many both men and
women who have failed to pay
their poll taxes sixty days prior
to the election which is a con-
.plete bar to the voter, and they
can under no circumstances vote
in the coming election. Itis very
unfortunate for the voter and
for our public free schools that
so many voters fail to pay their
poll taxes. it is a duty we owe
our country to help pay for the
education of our children, it is a
duty that we ought to be willing
to perform.
1t is our duty to pay our taxes
and go to the. polls and vote, and
if we fail TO vote, we have no
right to criticise our. law makers
if they make law contrary to
our liking, we have had no voice
in electing our legisl itor. and We
must keep quiet when they pass
laws that We don't like.
Our women have been given
the right to yete. they have been
charged with the payment of
poll taxes, and it now is their
privilege to vote, not only this,
1T is their duty Ia do so. and the
responsibility OF our governmer t
