than twelve (12) months prior to the date of regis-
tration, and who served during the Spanish-American

Armed Forces of the United States during the World
War and who are honorably discharged therefrom, and
who were bona fide legal residents of this State at
the time of entering such service, from the payment
of all dues, fees and charges whatsoever; . .."
