Senator TobeyDefends
His State's Poll Tax
By the Assoeiotsd Press

His coattails tapping, Senator
Tobey, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire, rushed into the Senate yester-
day to deny that New Hampshire
citizens have to pay a poll tax
before they can vote.
Senator Tobey, who spilled out
words so fast the official reporters
couldn't keep up with him, shouted
that Southerners were wrong, all
wrong" in this contention.
1t all started when Senator
Sparkman, Democrat, of Alabama
interrupted long speech by Sena-
tor Hill, Democrat, of Alabama to
say that under New Hampshire law
a man could be sent to jail for fall
ure to pay the States 81 poll tax.
Senator Sparkman said the citizen
would have to work 1t out at SO
cents a day but pay $3.50 a day to
the jailer for his keep.
Senator Hill said they don't put a
man in Jail down South If he doesn't
pay his poll tax.
Senator Tobey came bursting out
of the Senate cloakroom at this mo-
ment to announce he had been told
that New Hampshire's tax was being
debated.
II ran in here quickly to put out
the fire." the New Hampshire Sen
ator declared, and retired to the
cloakroom, tossing over his shoulder
the observation that shakespeare
once wrote a play entitled Much
Ado About Nothing"
Article 81 of the New Hampshire
State constitution requires that
rural voters be either assessed or
paid taxpayers. Propertyless rural
voters become taxpayers only by
operation of a statute levying So
tax, with some exemptions. on each
person or poll in the State. While
no specific law states this poll tax
to be a voting prerequisite, other
statutes require its payment by
propertyless rural citizens before
election time under penalty of jail

by Charles S. Geier from police re-

nue. NV, were much lower than

police closed his club in June, they
had no evidence gambling was per-
