Those who are denied
freedom to exercise their
political right of voting
without extra tax. that is
head tax. which usually
trickles into the pockets of
some unworthy and cor
rupt treasury which repre-
sents surplus monies for
those who impose the tax
and reap the political plum.
Everyone should be
mindful. however, that
even the Congress of the
United States makes a pro-
vision whereby it will be
illegal TO impose head or
poll tax during national
elections.
There have been pains
taken not TO interfere with
the Dixiecrat South that
still insists that the poor
white and Negro be burd-
ened with poll tax when il
involves state. county and
municipal elections.
1t is reasonable to assume
that even the nations head
tax bill will not pass in the
Senate because of the cor
rotation Of the Dixiecrat
Democrats of the, south and
the Plutocratic Republicans
of the north.
Therefore. all that is go
ing to happen is lot OF
noise and filibuster and the
oppressed poor workers
both black and white will
still be left with the bag 10
hold. This is peculiar type
of political slavery which
breeds enforced labor and
the enslavement OF the
body and soul of the unfor-
tunate in this great, charity
loving, peace-loving United
States of North America.
The Constitution of the
United States states clearly
that no rights of any Amer
lean citizen should be de-
MED or abridged because OF
religion. race. color. or pre-
vious condition OF servi-
tude.
The vast majority OF the
people who control the
wealth and the Govern
ment of the United States
pay little or no attention
to this part of the Consti-
tuition when their desires
may be obtained through
some selfish scheme which
will be of benefit TO them.
All of this type Of behav-
Jour is the product of the
basically dishonest ruling
class OF our society which
is protected by worthless
legislatures which are
wholly incapable of max
ing impersonal and honest
