Tn the fifth ward, the republican strong hold, voting was the liveliest, 300 out of list of 1000 having voted up to II o'clock. This was taken to indicate that Bingham would hold big lead over Holt.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Feb. 1S-There Is an
Unborn and natural antipathy on the
part of every normal man and woman
to the payment of taxes. This has
been true from the earliest recorded
history aud will continue to he true
until the coming Of a genuine Utopia,
when all taxes and all government and
all authority Of one person over
another shall yield to the great princi-
pie of brotherly love. But neither you
nor | will live to see that day.
As should be expected there is op-
position to the proposed income tax
measure recommended by commits
sion selected by the Governor repre-
Senting all elements Of our citizenship.
ON the other hand there is Il feeling
in the minds of many that II Is the
only relief in sight Governor McRae
is being besieged, i'm person and by let
ter, by the opponents and proponents
of the movement for an extra session
Of the legislature to consider the bill.
The friends of the measure contend
that the future welfare of the public
schools depends upon the enactment
OF the proposed law. On the other
hand there is an element which is Op-
posing the proposed extra session. For
instance petition, numerously sign
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-02-22

While considering possible sources of
revenue for the schools that would be
the most equitable, 1t has been suggest
ed that the most logical source OF
revenue would be he reasonable in
crease in the poll tax. The present
poll tax of $1.OO is payable into the
| common school fund. Last year there
were collected for the year 1922, $685.
249 poll taxes. If this tax were in
/ creased to $4.OO it would yield rev.
enue, based upon the returns of 1922,
of more than $1,2OO,0O0. which would
increase in constant ratio. Under
| the present law the collection of poll
taxes is not rigidly enforced. If the
law could lie made mandatory and
every adult citizen, man and woman,
be required to pay S4OO annually for
the benefit of the public schools, no
individual would he hurt and a very
considerable revenue would be derived.
The tax would be just and equitable
because it would be distributed equally
among all persons, rich and poor,
young and old, the childless and those
with large families. Objections would
be made that the poll tax is not a
popular tax and that it is collected in
only limited number of states; also
that Amendment No. II was probably
| defeated because it was feared that it
would enable the legislature to in
crease the poll tax. But surely moth
ing could he more just and less burden
some. There are thousands of good
citizens who would be required to pay
practically nothing more than their
poll tax and surely no one would OBJ
ject to contributing little more than
one penny daily toward the mainten
ance Of our public schools. 1t is at
least subject that well merits the
careful consideration Of our lawmak
ers when they assemble in either spec
ial or regular session.

Representative John A. Riggs Of
Garland county, author of the income
tax law now on the statute books, in
a published statement takes umbrage
at the punsters who are endeavoring
to discredt his act. He suggests that
the critics have not studied or even
read over the Riggs hill or the New
York bill of which it is said to be a
copy. He says further:
"The principle on which the Riggs
income tax law is based is Gods plan,
which required every man to give one
tenth of his Gross income, and there
were no exemptions or DEDUCTIONS com
pretended within this plan.'
Mr.. Riggs also says that his law
was not intended as a general rev
enue measure. but its sole object and
purpose is to save our common schools
and open the door Of opportunity for
the poor girls and boys of this great
STATE. who unless means are provided
will 20 through life handicapped, and
can only hope to become "hewers Of
wood and drawers Of water" ANY
man or woman with soul so infinite
simally small as to complain or Kick
against one dollar out of every one
thousand dollars income received by
him to the common schools, which IL
all that the Riggs income tax law re-
quires them to pay, should have a
milestone hung around his neck aud
should he hurled into the depths of
the sea"
