ATLANTA. Ga.-(SNSl-

ATLANTA, (SNS)-
Approximately 100000 in de-
1inquent poll taxes we're written
off for the people of Georgia by
Attorney General Eugene Cook
Saturday.
In the ruling made public by
State Revenue Commissioner M.
E. Thompson, the attorney general
ruled that county tax collectors
henceforth have no power to issue
fl faS for the collection of poll
taxes accumulated during years
prior to 1945, since the Georgia Leg
islature abolished the poll tax and
II was omitted from the new state
Constitution as a prerequisite for
voting.
IT was estimated that the repeal
of the poll tax means the loss of
an average of 100000 per annum
in state revenues for gusture years
REASON TO FEAR GONE
Many persons, fearful Of regis
tering to vote because of past due
poll taxes and fl ia accumulations,
may now do so without fear The
law originally doubled the poll tax
for delinquent persons, making
them pay 81 to cover the poll tax
and costs for each year they were
behind, instead of the regular tax
of 81
Attorney General Cook held:
Delinquent poll taxes are no
longer a bar 20 voting, and such
taxes canrot be demanded of tax
payers.
Answering a question as to
whether persons can be barred
from voting because past due poll
taxes have not been paid, Attorney
General Cook said
The Constitution as amended has
definitely abolished the payment
of poll taxes as a prerequisite for
voting in the State of Georgia
This applies to poll taxes which
accrued prior to the year 1916 and
which have not been paid by the
taxpayer. It is now optional with
delinquent taxpayers as to whether
or not they desire to pay such
taxes, but in any event the non

got away and called for help
