at the beginning Of the Seventy seventh
Congress on January 3, 194l, and re-
manned before the Committee on the
Judiciary for more than year and a
half. 1t would again have been allowed
to die had there not been such sustained
interest in the legislation that in Sep
tember, 1912, the Committee on the Ju-
dietary was discharged from further con-
sideration Of the bill by q petition signed
by 218 members of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. When finally the bill was
allowed to come to vote In the House
on October 13, 1912, 1t was passed by a
vote Of 252 to "a. The history Of the bill
in the Senate, where it was sponsored by
Senator Claude Pepper OF Florida, has
been similar. The Senate Committee on
the Judiciary has held extensive hear
ings on the present bill, beginning in
July, 1941. But perhaps 1t will not be
necessary to prolong resume Of legis-
lative history to correct the wonder in
the mind OF your editorial writer, who
wrote: "The wonder grows as to why
this particular time was chosen to force
showdown on such q highly contro-
versial issue" The time was not chosen:
the bill came before the Senate as the
elimination Of long and difficult strug-
gle for the extension OF suffrage.
Your editorial continues: Even II full
weight be given to the contentious that
the tax Is anti-social and undemocratic,
the fact remains that the States them
selves gradually have been getting away
from It," This Is at best garbled history.
There indeed has been q development
away from poll taxes as source Of reve-
nue.. But the poll tax as q prerequisite
for voting Is device deliberately CAL
culated to limit suffrage. The dates that
the device was adopted In each Of the
States where 1t now exists "a . limita-
ton on the suffrage are ~ follows:
Tennessee, 1890; Mississippi. 1890; Ar
kansas, 1892: South Carolina, 1895; vir-
ginia, 1901: Alabama, 1901; Texas, 1905
and Georgia made the poll tax q pre-
requisite for voting in the primaries in
1908. The poll tax as a restriction on
suffrage is, therefore, of recent origin,
and 1t was adopted as q reaction to the
widening democracy Of the Populist
movement.
OF the enormous success of the device
in limiting democracy there Is no ques-
ton. The poll tax now disfranchises
some 100000 whites and some 1000 900
Negroes In the poll tax States. In the
20 States where there is no poll tax Nmi-
tation on the suffrage, about so per cent
OF the total population votes. In the 8
poll tax States from to 10 per cent OF
the population votes. For example, in
the Sd Mississippi district with popu-
lation Of 435,o0o, $4,000 votes were cast
IN the congressional election Of 1910. In
the Sd Ohio district, with . population
almost exactly the same, there was vote
Of $4,000. /. I. TAvNaNER

Strong Evidence

The average rationing board has
to listen to so many appealing
pleas for more of this, that and the
other that it is in fact, II not in
name, a genuine court Of appeals
1t Is only natural, then, that 1t lays
down requirements suitable to other
courts Of appeal-it will listen to any
ingenious story, but wants evidence,
the stronger the better, before decid-
ing in favor of the petitioner.
A man in Dallas, realizing this,
determined to comply. He had had
the misfortune of losing thirteen gas
coupons, eaten by rat. He restrained
his first impulse, to rush feverishly
over to the board and tell his tale.
It was a highly fantastic one, fairly
shrieking for confederation. He
waited until he could kill the rat.
Not till then did he appear before the
board. AS anticipated, he was at
first rejected. Then he played his
trump card. IF the court so please,
I ask for an adjournment of few
minutes to produce evidence-Ex-
hibit r, the rat that ate the coupons
I have kept it safely for quite q
while"
The decision was amazingly
prompt Here are thirteen nice
fresh new gas coupons" said the
Judge Your evidence Is very
strong; too strong for us. Anyhow.
we are convinced that no one but q
rat would destroy gas coupoos."
