Soldiers Protest Against Bill
McFall's Political Sl<ullduggery

not thoroughly understand tire views
which | have expressed in the prev
ious letters to you. endeavored to
make it clear that, in my opinion, it
is the duty of the county treasurer
to accept payment of all taxes due
and payable to the county or State,
regardless Of whether the person off
ering to pay same is paying them
out of his own funds or out of the
funds of the person assessed or as
sessable with the taxes.
The only question affected by the
fact that the money with which the
taxes are paid is not that of the tax
payer is whether the name of h e
person assessed or assessable with
the taxes should be included upon
the treasurer list of persons who
have personally paid such taxes
within the required time. I think
it very clear that the treasurer has
no authority to refuse to receive rev
enue due to the State or county mer
ely because it is not the taxpayer IS
money with which same is paid.
Whether or not under the circum-
stances the treasurer should place
upon the said list Of personally paid
taxpayers a son or daughter whose
taxes are paid by their parents in

TO THE VOTERS OF
DICKINSON COUNTY:

More than one thousand of Dick
enson County 5 finest young men are
now serving their country in t h e
armed forces. We are fighting for
American Institutions and Ameri
can Ideals. and also for American
Rights and Privileges which are
guaranteed to us under the Constit
ution.
We are fighting and giving up our
lives on foreign battlefields to pre-
serve the American Way of Life
and to preserve the right of every
man to exercise his right to take
part in the elections and cast h
ballot for his choice of candidates.
And yet we, who are making this
great sacrifice for not only our coun-
try but for all of us, are being de
MED the right to qualify and vote
in the coming election. w. M. Nc
Fall, the Treasurer Of Dickinson
County, is refusing to permit even
our parents to qualify us soldiers
and sailors, as we are on duty and
cannot do it ourselves. in order that
we may exercise our blood right to
vote and have voice in the govern
ment for which we are fighting.
Despite the fact that the law gives
to Treasurer McFall clear man
date to accept such poll-tax pay
ments, and despite the fact that he
has been ordered by the Attorney
General of the State of Virginia to
accept the polltax payments, he is
refusing to do so, unless he is GER
tain that those men will vote for his
proxy-candidate, S. NJ McFall.
While your boys. are fighting and
diving on the battlefields of foreign
countries, are you as sitizens willing
to permit this political skull duggerv
to be practiced there? Are you going
meekly to allow these selfish polit-
zeal leaders to perpetuate themselves
in office by denying the Service Men
their right to say who shall govern
the land for which they are fighting
Is this the kind of patriotic sup
port that you are giving us who are
doing so much for you? Can you ex-
pect us to fight and make the sup
rene sacrifice for something which
we are denied so that few men may
continue to feather their nests?
Doesn Il it seem strange that it was
such an honor in 1885 and 1889 to
have been soldier? Remember in
these campaigns when Bill McFan
used his World War Record as a
means of getting him votes? Yet
in 1943 Bill is using his office as
means to deny us of our voting priv
lege.
Bill defends himself, I understand,
on the grounds that he is tracking
NO law. He saws that he thinks his
legal advisors S. H. Sutherland, Re
publican Candidate for Common
wealth IS Attorney and Alger Phipps,
Republican Candidate for Clerk are
Interpreting the law as he sees If
IF this is true then Abram P. Slap
les, Attorney General for Virgini@'

the laws of Virginia and Bill McFal
