Collector Keeping
Tab on Poll Taxes
In compliance with the law and to pre-
vent the fraudulent use of poll tax re
ceipts. County Tax Collector A. R. Miller
has had printed at Ihe bottom of til
blanks for the appointment of agents to
pay pou taxes a statement of the rule
followed by the office and is mailing ali
receipts bo paia ior to tne party lor worm
the payment is made.
A paragraph of the law lor makine nv-
ments reads: "Poll tax may either be
paid in person or by duly authorized
agent by filling out the above blank. If
you pay your poll tax through an agent
the tax collector can not deliver vour pall
tax . certificate to such agent nor mail
same to your agent but must mail same
to you or hold and deliver same to you
in person. One person can be agent for
every man In the precinct. You can pay
your poll tax without paying your prop-
erty tax. if VOU wish Tutu itiiut Ho
paid between October 1 and not later
ura January ai.
It is claimed that this system of mail-
ing poll tax certificates to the persons
jyi oiium mey are intended Instead of de-
livering them to the nnia win t-Ai-An
hoarding of poll tax receipts by any one
person and that it will tend to decrease
illegal voting or control nf
The plan has the entire approval of
District Attorney John H. Crooker. who
maiius reaay to co-operate with the tax
collector's office should it become ne-e-
sary to prosecute attempted violations of
me iaw in regaru to poll tax payments.
JUT. aimer said Thursday that this
law was lollowed by the tax collector's
office last year but that the deputies
we.: wuer ursanizea tnis year and more
familiar with the work making it possi-
ble to keep a closer check on receipts.

Fairbanks In "Ths Good Bad Man."
Moat of UM villains we have had in photo-

dustry have been the "utter" villain of tradi-
tion. They have been bed Just nn general
principles. Douglas Fairbanks however haa
come to the rescno with an innovation in "The
tluod Bad Man." a feature which he wrote
himself and In which he ia starred.
The bad man here la a most likable young
chap whose depredations take eccentric chan-
nels. For Instance he holda up the raclflc
limited and robs the conductor of -hla ticket
punch. Again h hold up tlio town grocer
and robs him of quautltlea ot food which he be-
stows upon a friendless little orphan who Uvea
un the outskirts of civilisation.
The reason is that "1'sssln' Through." as he
calls himself for want of a better name has
no idea who his father waa. He suspui-ta that
he may have been born Illegitimate. There-
fore he is an enemy to society which would
make him an outcast.
In the course of the stirring action of the
Play. Passln' Through" learna that hla father
was honorably married to hla mother and that
Ids parentage was regular lavevery respect. This
