Bitter Legislative Fight
Looms in Drive to Repeal
Poll Tax in Tennessee

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. Ems
- When Tennessee's General As
sembly convenes this month, the
paramount legislative struggle is
likely to be not over any pro-
posed new statue but the repeal
OF one OF the oldest laws in the
state.
Strong forces are at work
among the solons and representa-
tives to abolish the poll tax pre-
requisite to voting In Tennessee
and seven other southern states.
II party dictum means anything
the tEo-dollar impost is as good
rs repealed right now. The State
Democratic Convention has en-
dorsed its abolition, as has Gov.
Prentice Cooper.
However, swelling belief
among some of the legislators
that repeal would usher in a
horde OF negro votes and possibly
toss the state into the Republican
Party's column promises to fur
nish more than nominal opposi-
ton.
Tactics OF the non-repealists,
state political observers agree,
are likely to follow the same pat
tern they took in 1899 when a
similar bill was shuffled in a
maze OF parliamentary technicali-
ties until it finally disappeared
somewhere in the capitol's musty
cloakrooms.
Briefly, these are the repeal ar
guments:

achronism hanging over from the
reconstruction era which has no
place as a modern law. 1t olsen

their interest in government by

SALES TAX

Lansing. Jan. 2 APP - Rep.
George L. Higgins, Republican,
Ferndale. said today ne would seek
legislation intended to close what
he said was a $4,000, O00-a-year
loophole" in the sales tax law.
Higgins said he would introduce
bill proposing a stamp tax meth
cd OF recording sales tax payments,
which would make the buyer equal
ly responsible with the vendor for
payment OF the tax.
Every purchase OF ten cents or
more would be subject to the tax,
he said, and the bill would pro-
pose that the law require that
tax stamp be affixed TO each bundl-
ed package. In restaurants, pro
prietors would affix the stamp to
the customers check. and in the
purchase OF such items as gasoline,
the vendor would pay the tax in
advance when he bought from the
wholesale dealer.

If the report is true this is the
