PEOPLE SLOW ABOUT PAYING
THEIR POLL TAX

New acknowledgement OF poll
taxes continues slow with total APP
proxlmately 10000 according to Jas.
Barrett, chief clerk In the poll tax
division Of the city treasurer's Of
flee. Mr.. Barrett estimates that q
total Of around 10000 poll taxes will,
be paid this year. which leaves TO-
900 to collect In twenty-seven days, or
an average OF more than $500 day.
Several teachers have collected poll
taxes from their co-workers, and sent
the lists of names into the office.
Miss Kinnabrew sent In fifty two
names from the Sophie Wright high
school and all the names Of teachers
in by Miss Alice Hart.
The negro longshoremen's organiza-
eion sends in annually a list Of from
1900 to 1,4O0 names although few
Of their number can vote. This is
done to help the public schools. Mr..
Barrett expressed the hope that white
organizations might follow this ex-
ample and increase the payment Of
taxes as we'll as prevent the usual
rush at the end Of December.
Participation in the next state, city
and presidential elections will depend
on whether poll tax payments are
made prior to December 81. All these
elections will come in 1923 and 1924.

chant marine fund the money neces-
sary to carry out the provisions OF
the act. Another provided that III
dustriaI ships, such as those owned
by the Standard Oil Company, snouid

ton of a vessel carrying cargo OF the
ships owners.

AS finally passed the bill would

TELLS METHODIST PAGANISM OF
MODERN WORLD is THE ONE
UGLY SPOT.
PRAISES CLEMENCEAU
Quotes Him at Is Much Easier To

quor A Solid Peace.
PRAISES CLEMENCEAU

Shreveport Lain addressing the
Louisiana Methodist Conference in
session here, Reverend ]. H. Rey-
nolds, director general OF the educa-
tfonal movement of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and president Of
Hendrix College, Conway, Arkansas,
declared that paganism Of the mod
ern world forms the one ugly spot
in civilization and the worlds inter
national political situation Is pagan
TO the core.
1T Is much easier to win a great
war than 1t Is to conquer solid
peace" declared Dr. Reynolds, quot
ing Clemenceau Of France. America
rs now the host of one Of the worlds
great characters. Clemenceau, the
Tiger OF France, Is entitled to a warm
spot in the hearts Of the American
people. He has time after time
drawn his sword for the things that
are dear to the hearts of Americans.
He has fought for democracy. He
has fought for human justice, and
whatever may come OF his visit on
this side OF the Atlantic, we will al
ways remember his statement during
the stormy period at the close Of the
war that 1t is easier to win a great
war than it Is to conquer solid peace"
"The most stubborn element in the
world is the battle for peace, not the
material battles on the fields Of glory.
The world must become all Christian
or all pagan. A large element Is our
world today Is pagan. This Is not In
America, but in other lands. For the
last half century the pagan element
has grown apace. 1t would be daring
for me to say that international re-
lations are pagan to the core, but
] can safely say that the pagan Gle
ment Is dominating international pol
1tics.
Discussing the modern condition OF
economical and industrial life, DR..
Reynolds referred to the recent rail-
way and miners strikes, and said
they were In no manner called in the
principle of right, nor on the princi-
pie OF the brotherhood OF man. Bridg-
Is were burned he said, the work
OF destruction was carried on, and
laborers engaged in the exciting pas
time Of shooting down their fellow
men.
Men were killed for trying to
earn an honest living" he said in re-
ferring to the Herrin massacre. |
"These guilty men are in comfort |
with the blood Of their fellow men |
on their hands, yet comes now to
court, not only members Of their or
ganization. but the high officials Of
their working organizations to defend |
them for the slaughter. Oh, II the |
organization to which they belong |
had only repudiated them. But much |
IN our Industrial life rests on the |
principles Of paganism, not in human
Justice"
