Poll Tax Law Defined.
Following the ruling given in
an opinion by the attorney gen-
eral's department on the subject
of payment of poll taxes of the
husband and wife, the control-
ler's department has sent letters
to county tax collectors explain-
ing the law in detai .
Either poll tax can be paid
without the payment of the oth-
er, and one or both poll taxes
may be paid without the pay
ment of the ad valorem tax; but
the ad valorem tax cannot be
paid unless both poll taxes assess-
ed therewith are als.) paid.

Cherokee county was not the

couples made up the list we no-

besides these there were some
who didn't want their names
published for some reason or an-

sure that the lady would have

the confidence these young people
have in East Texas.
