CHAPPELL SAYS 1923
TAX NEEDN'T Be PAID
Expresses His. Views AS To
Qualifications OF Voters
In Primary

Asserting that numerous citizens
who have not yet paid their 1923
taxes haYe solicited his opinion as
to their right to vote in the March
10 primary, today asked The Times
Recorder to publish qualifications
necessary to voters in the primary,
According to Chappell, the law
fixes December goth 1928 as the
date that the 1928 taxes are due
and the laws of Georgia says that
any person who is legally register
ed can vote in any election or ori-
mary even though his taxes are not
paid, provided said election or pri-
mary is held within six months
from the date the taxes were due.
Therefore, this primary coming
within six months time from the
date that the 1923 taxes were due,
any citizen has a right to vote in
this primary even though his 1928
taxes are pot paid.
ND citizen however would b
qualified to vote@ in the general
election to be held November, ATT
or in the primary to be held this
year in September, unless his taxes
We're paid by May, 4th 1924, ac-

OIL SCANDAL PRODERS
WORK BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS At WASHINGTON
Effort Started To Run Down
Latest And Most Startling Of
Rep orts
PAYNE WHITNEY ABSENT
Einancier And Stock Brokers
Fail To Meet Committee AT
Opening Hour

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, An
effort to run down the latest and
one of the most startling reports
of the oil scandal was made today
by the senate committee.
Information regarding stock mar
ket speculation involving one cabi-
net officer and other higher of-
ficials, both republicans and demo-
Gratis has been furnished to senators
connected with the Teapot Dome
investigation and>>will be consider
ed in closed session Of the corn
mittee Tuesday
If this information proves to be
correct, it will produce a sensation
exceeding anything that the scandal
has thus far uncovered. The sub
stance of the information is that
these high officials had inside in
formation as to the Teapot Dome
lease and made killing in the stock
market on the strength of the tip.
Secretary DENLY does not appear
to be involved, but one other cabi-
net officer who was close to Hard
ing is mentioned.
Harry Payne Whitney, financier,
and officials of J. P. Bankard &
Company, New York stock brock
erage firm, had been asked to meet
with the committee, but were not ON
hand when the session began behind
closed doors. Afted the session had
been in progress for nearly an hour,
however, members of the Bankard
firm arrived, but Whitney had not
been located.

Crops Suggested

One hundred farmers and busi-'

Monday at Leslie, and addressed by
representative of the State Col
lege of Agriculture at Athens and
experts representing the Seaboard

ject s'Cotton Production and Wee
vii Control In handling this subject
Mr.. Oliver described cotton as Sum
ter county's greatest and most sub
stantial money crop "the hub of the
Wheel forming the great revenue
sources of this entire territory. The
other crops that are being intro
duced and some of which have been
established here during recent years
the speaker described as "spolIes in
-the wheel, "and without which the.
hub cannot support itself.
The production of cotton, Mr.
Oliver asserted, must always be the
great farming industry in
this section of Georgia and the
South, and farmers must prepare to
continue producing the staple not
withstanding the weevil Control
of the weevils is possible, he said,
if farmers will work along seienti-
fic lines and will give close atten-
ton to their business as, do other
business men, Other crops should
also be produced in connection
with cotton, he told his hearers,
with these so co-ordinated as to
bring in a steady stream of cash
throughout the entire year.

Only Those VINO Have Hereto

Ladies Who Paid AT Time Of
Registration This Year En-
titled To Money Back

Women who are new voters; that
is to say, women who have never
before registered for voting, may
cast their ballots in the March 10
primary without the necessity Of
paying poll taxes. A ruling to this
effect, just made by Comptroller
General Wright, was announced
here today by County Tax Collector
I. B. Small. Heretofore it had
zen held under an opinion Of Coun
ty Attorney w. w. Dykes, that
taxes for the years 1921 and 1922
must be paid by.all women before
they could legally register,
The effect Of the decision Is To
permit wonen 81 years of and old
en- who hay9 not heretofore regis
tered to register at the office of
the county tax collector iia the
court house, and thus quaiify as
voters in the March 10 primary,
without paying anything Women
who have registered heretofore for
voting wil not be permitted to
vote in the primary, however, until
all back poll taxes due by them
have been paid and receipts there
for issued by the county tax col
lector. Provisions Of law as to
length Of residence in state and
county must be fulfilled by wo-
men as well as men voters in all
instances.
1t is expected that as a result
of this decision there will be a
heavy women's vote polled in this
primary, as numerous inquiries had
been made as to the quail
fcations necessary, and there ex-
listed much difference Of opinion
as to the payment Of back poll tax
es before registration. In am
nouncing the(decision of the comp
troller general today, |. B. Small,
county tax collector stated that
all ladies who had never tbefore~
registered and vi DO have registered
in his office this fall are entitled
to a rebate where these paid poll
taxes for the year 1922 and other
back years, and that upon request
the full amount paid by them will
be refunded
