THE PAYMENT OF POLL TUX
Citizens not Running Over Each
Other to Buy Receipts.
The citizen· of Ellis county ars
not breaking their necks in a wild
desire to buy a poll tax receipt be·
fore the price advances on the first
day of next February, yet County
Tax Collector Jîratcher says he i*
doing a very nice business. As a
mle, howrver, the people are a lit
tle slow in coming forward with thf
necessary wherewithal for the pay
ment of the tax imposed and re
quired to be settled before a person
is qualified to vote. Γρ to date just
128 persons who vote at the four
Waxahachie boxes have provided
themselves with poll tax receipts.
At Ennie 1!»4 receipts have been is
sued, while at Palmer If*» have been
sold. This is more than half the
voting strength of the town. Ferris
is also making a good showing while
some of the other towns in the
county are making a slow start.
Unless there is a remarkable
increase In the number of per
sons who desire to pay tax, it is
not at ail impossible that the voting
strength in Ellis county at the next
election will be reduced to fiOOO. S,e
cordintf to the rolls of the ass·· U!V~
10,707 persons were assessed
is not at all likely that th
number will pay the tax.
I'nder the Terrell election ",'>e (''"
tax collector is allowed 15 r
each poll tax receipt iss" r?
amount of poll tax due E'^"*
on the rolls of ΙίΚΚί is $
the entire amount is paid'vj u
tion of same will cost*' '
SI .tXXi.QTi. This amount' Sole
"Ρ 1*®^^
come out of the tax cotl· M.,u <
must come nut '«f thi cou"Vgen"
fund. Ellis county gets only 25
cents of each poll tax paid, which
Sfoes to the road and bridge fund.
If the amount thus dt -iveci be used
fur such .4 purpose it would not pay
the expenses 'if holdiugoue election
in Kills c >unty under the ne»· He ·
tio'n law.
After a visit to the tax collector's
office yesterday afternoon to obtain
the data u«ed iri the above ihe re
porter called at the office of County
."idge Hawkins to interview him on
a few points of the Terrell election
law. When the reporter entered the
judge's sanctum sanctorum that
dignified dealer of justice appeared
to be in th2) best of humor and was
busily engaged in making some re
pairs on h! * desk.
