the damage was inflicted on the

the damage at that time.

Supervisors Ask legislators
To Help Keep Poll Tax Alive

your valuable influence in see
irg that such a law is enacted at
the special session Of the Gen
eral Assembly which has been
called by the Governor to con
vene November 10. 1868.
The request was expressed in
a resolution dispatched to the
area legislators late last week.
Amendment Process
Governor Harrison has called
the special session to deal with
the probability that the poll tax
will be made illegal in federal
elections through the constitu-
tional amendment process.
1t is anticipated that the re
CURED 80 states will have ratl-
fled the amendment the
oath to the U. S. Constitution
in time to knock out the poll
tax in Virginia S 1864 primary
and general elections for mem
bers Of Congress. as we'll as for
President.
The special legislative session
will determine what substitutes,
if any, are to be made for the
poll tax in federal elections, and
whether the tax, or some other
form Of election eligibility, is to
be devised for state and local
elections in the Commonwealth
These last would not be bound
by the expected prohibition in
federal elections
Governors View
Governor Harrison has lnGicat-
ed that he feels it necessary
THAT we establish by law other
or additional means to assure
that only bona fide residents Of
Virginia vote in the 1864 cleo
tons, and in elections thereaft-
er held for federal Offices"
The session later this month
may be lively since organized
movements are already under
way in Virginia to eliminate the
poll tax for state and local cleo
tons, at the same time t n E
amendment process brings the
end Of it for national elections.
The Governor has not indicat-
ed publicly what his legislative
recommendations will be. How
ever. these have been prepared
in bill form and are ready for
submission for the Legislature S
consideration and public hear.
