 There there are many residents of the states total who are. eligible to vote but who are not voters is shown by the fact that 619,s26 residents are subject to the town personal tax. while only 419,258 are registered voters The number of Connecticut people entitled to vote therefore, is only two thirds of the states total who are eligible.
 This is accounted for by the fact that the last session of .theS general assembly ordered that all residents between the ages of 21 and so should pay a personal tax. At the same time. there arc many aliens who have not become citizens whose duty it Is to pay the personal tax. Many women also have not become vo- ters. Veterans of military service are also free from the personal tax payment. There are 378,583 men paying per- l sonal taxes. while 241, ,s43 women also pay the assessment.
