for sending TO jail persons in New

capitation tax within specified time
and fer keeping them there until the
tax Is paid. The bill however will
probably not he taken any more
seriously than other capitation bills
or laws have in the past as no
method is provided for collecting
such tax.
Mr.. Nirden intrduced three bills
dealing with the matter ~ q CAPITA

first bill takes from the county

would save the board the trouble OF
making up a list OF from 55. 600 to
10000 names in the county liable to
this tax which costs considerable.
The second bill would give the
Levy Court the right TO fix the cap
itation tax AZ not more than Sl.25 or

was the one relative To sending de-
