FEW POLL TAXES
PAID THUS FAR
BUT VERY LITTLE INTEREST
BEING SHOWN IN sPE.
cIAL ELECTION

Tax Collector Frank II. Laid
said yesterday that poll taxes
which are required to be paid for
the year 1886 before a voter will
be permitted to vote in the cleo
ton to be held December 30, are
coming in very slowly.
As a matter of truth, there have
been but 81 paid since the books
were opened, which is considered
as definite indication that very
little interest is being taken in
this vote, which is to decide
whether or not the county will be
authorized to each year pay to the
city from $4,000 to $4,000 of the
county's share of the state gaso-
line taxes.
The poll tax books will close on
the afternoon of Saturday, De-
eember IL, which will be Satur-
day of this week, just four days
away, and those interested are
urging on the voting public TO
provide themselves with the ne
cessary poll tax certificates and
vote yes or no On this very inn

appreciation For Excellent
Handling Of Plane Arrivals
Illegal Practices Of Grand
JurieS Revealed In Address
At Fellowship Club Meeting

Blasting the illegal practices of
Circuit Court grand juries, and
undergoing thorough questioning
by members of the Stone Church
Civic club, City Attorney George
G. Brooks, delivered a revealing
speech at the weekly dinner
meeting last night.
Grand jurymen Throughout. the
state generally adopt a selfish at
titude, Mr.. Brooks stated, and
they are usually lax in their duty.
Ask the members of any group
which is operating illegally if
they would choose a federal or a
circuit court grand jury to be
tried by and they will laugh at
your mentioning both in the same
breath. Federal jurymen are re-
sponsible to the government,
and as yet circuit court grand
jurymen in the state have not
the backing of the people they
represent. That is the reason
Dewey's grand jury in New York
City accomplished such remark
ablt results. It got the support
and backing of the people to-
gether with one of the most
honest and capable state attor-
neys New York City has ever
had. Besides this, Dewey re-
tanned the support of the people
in his prosecutions after the jury
was dissolved and this was anoth-
er important factor.
viii Doughtry proposed that
MIR. Brooks discuss the stlIfffng
of the boxes in which jurymen's
names are kept. The city at
torney explained that the law re-
quires 600 names to be proposed
at a meeting of the county com.
misSioners by the commission
ers. These names are put into a
jury box, and the judge of the
circuit court then pulls out name
slips for jury duty. In the past
20 years, MIR. Brooks stated, to
his knowledge no body of the
county commissioners have both
cred to make up the names.
They have in each case when
necessary authorized the county
clerk to perform that action
Further the law states that a
different set of jurors is to be
appointed for each term of cir
cult court, requiring that after
the judge pulls out a set of jury
name-slips, those names be sep
arated from the main box, both
boxes to be placed in a vault
Around 1923, it was noticed thai
the same jurors were serving
over and over again. The judge
pulled different names out, Mr.
Brooks stated, but called our
whatever name he wished. II
you wanted to serve on a jury
you merely got in touch with
the proper authorities and your
name would be called out. II
