POLL TAX MUST
BE PAID BY WOMEN
Attorney General Says Information
That They Are Not Liable
Is Wrong.
Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
My attention has just been called
to the clipping which I enclose here
with, which 7 am informed was taken
from your paper.
I do not wish to appear officious,
but 1t occurs to me that the statement
contained in this clipping may lead to
a great deal of unnecessary trouble
Under the nineteenth amendment to
the federal constitution there can be
no difference between the require
ments OF the law as to the uuaiifica-
ton of an eiector between male and
female voters, and under the law Of
the state OF Florida, all persons be-
tween the ages OF 81 and So years, ex-
cept those who have lost limb in
battle are required to pay poll tax for
the two years next preceding the date
of the election to become qualified
to vote. The law specifically makes
an exception to all persons who be-
came eligible to qualify TO vote in the
year 1920, and provides that such per-
sons shall not be denied the right to
vote, because of not having paid a poll
tax for the year 1920. Under the ex-
listing conditions such persons will be
required to pay the poll tax for 1921
to qualify to vote in any election in
1922.
Some persons have assumed that
the poll tax was not coliectable be-
cause there was no law authorizing
the assessment of q poll tax against
women on January /, 1921. This posi-
ton, however, is not correct because
it makes no difference under the law
a poll tax was assessable or
not, the payment thereof may be made
a prerequisite to the qualification to
vote and under our law it has been
made a prerequisite and the non-as-
sessability thereof is only recognized
as valid reason for the non payment
when and only when it is not assessed
because Of the proposed elector being
not of age, or being over IS years of
age, or having lost limb in battle,
or shall have become disabled in the
United States army or navy service.
A man, who moved to the state of
Florida in April, 1921, is entitled to
register and vote in the June primary,
this year, but it will be necessary for
him to pay poll tax to qualify although
ne was not IN the state january L, 1871
and no poll tax was assessable against |
him. The same rule applies to a. wonn
IN who became resident of the state
under like circumstances, and the |
same rule applies to all persons male |
and female residing in the state of |
Florida, who are otherwise eligible to |
qualify and who became eligible to |
qualify in 1920.
RIVERS BUFORD,
Attorney General !

BEN EDWARDS HERE
TO HOLD MEETINGS
Well Known Evangelist From Kansas
City Holding Meetings at the
First Christian Church.

| A protracted meeting, under the cap
able leadership of Ben Edwards
evangelist, of Kansas City, and MIR
! and Mrs. r. W. Pollock, musicians
began at the First Christian church on
Gadsden street last Tuesday evening
with brief Introductory message %
the church membership.
Mr.. Edwards is an evangelist OF
ability and earnestness, is native OF
Texas, and received his education at
Texas Christian University. Though a
stranger to Pensacola, he is already
making friends for himself, and the
services over which he has charge are
giving promise OF bringing much ben
eft to the people of Pensacola.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pollock are well known
TO the people of the city who had the
privilege of meeting them last winter.
and their many friends are rejoicing
in the prospect of musical treat
from night to night during these serv-
ices Mr.. Pollock is in as fine voice
as ever, which is saying much, and
Mrs. Pollocll's splendid control of the
plano is one OF the real delights of
these meetings.
l. Il
was developed around the theme
What Does the World Think of Your
Lord?' Mr.. Edwards took occasion
TO remind the church people that the
world was likely TO think of Christ in
accordance with the standard or
Christian living set by His followers.
On Wednesday evening the mes
sage OF the sermon was based on John
1882, and presented especially the
thought, "Sb us the Father" This
also was message intended especial
~ for the church people, and remind
ed them that God makes use of hu-
man powers and agencies in giving
the divine message to the world. At
this service Mr.. Pollock delighted the
audience with his singing of that
beautiful old song of Mr.. Sankey's,
THE Ninety and Nine"
The subject of the address Thurs
day evening was christian Zeal"
The text of the sermon was John
f:35-42. The minister introduced his
theme by warning Christian people
against a spirit of GOODNESS. When
John the Baptist pointed out the
Christ. two men followed the Master,
and must have been wonderfully
taught by Him for ever afterward
they ceased not to tell the gospel
story.
1t is a great privilege to win men
for Christ. The church needs men and
women who are on fire with zeal for
souls, and who are master worhnen
in the kingdom. To be successful as
soul winner, the Christian must be
we'll acquainted with his Lord, must
know where to find the Master, for
the repentant sinner is not to be
brought to any earthly being, but to
Jesus, Himself, for He alone can save.
At this service Mr.. Pollock sang a
most beautiful solo, Where the gates
swing outward never Each evening
Mr.. Pollock delights his audience with
a. solo, and these beautiful songs are
a most attractive feature of the serv-
ice.
The public is most cordially invit-
cd to each and every one OF these
services.

day to consider the plans and speci-
fications of the FIVE bridges in the

sineer were approved, and will be
sent to the state road department for

David, Mitcheips Creek and Cotton's
Creek. The entire day was spent in

The specifications for the Gulf
Beach highway have been published
in pamphlet form, comprising 116
pages, SO pages of which comprise
the specifications, with 33 pages de-
voted to contracts and bonds.
Advertisements will be placed in the
local papers next Tuesday, and pres
ent Indications point to a number OF
bids for the work. Written into the
contract is that wherever it is possible,
county labor will be employed in this
work.
Mr.. McCloskey, a member of the
firm now engaged in repairing the
county court house and annex, APP
peared before the board. asking for a

The Kentucky pool sale of practi-
cally the entire 1921 crop TO one big
firm has started the question in many
minds: viii anything like that hap
pen in the Wisconsin pool? Will one
big concern gobble up the whole years
offering to hte exclusion of other firms
who are in the market to satisfy their
wants, or will the pool managers en-
deaYor to sell on comparative bisis
and give the fellow who can use half
a million pounds the same chance to
buy as the firm who stands ready to
take 20 million pounds The answer
need not be cause of worry just now
Just now the early bird is busy catch
ing the worm.

Madison, Wis.-To inform the pub
lie that the important factor in the
successful treatment of cancer Il its
early recognition, when prospects of
complete cure are excellent, Wisconsin
health authorities will stress the sub
Ject during National Cancer week, No
vember 1918.
Cancer, formerly thought to be in
durable, today offers definite hope of
cure provided prompt, early and decis-
i've action is TAKEN says the state
board of health, in charge of the Wis
consin campaign. whether or not
one suceumbs to cancer depends large
ly on the individual. Each person must
become conversant with the danger
signals and Immediately seek COM
petent advice"
In this educational effort the state
board is cooperating with the Amer
lean Society for the Control of Can
GER, which has been studying cancer
prevalence since 1918 and .accumulat-
ing fund of valuable information.
Cancer causes 10000 deaths in the
United States annually.
1.-THE death rate from cancer in Wis
consin is somewhat higher than in
the death registration area of h e.
United States, which comprises 3S
states" the boards statement contin-
ues. THE greatest difficulty encount-
cred in the past has been the hesitan-
cy of those afflicted with beginning to
seek medical advice because of their
dread of having their fears confirmed.
Now, however, light has been turned
on the problem and we find progress
sive men and women of the day eager
for knowledge of the causes and cure
of this malady."
Every cancer cure advertisement
is swindle, and the use of valueless
medicines and preparations means
waste of money and time. Testimon-
ials of advertising specialists and
institutes are either fabrications or
are based, in all probability, on the
removal of conditions which were not
cancer at all"
