solution for the primary expense problem
might lie in tjie adaptation of an idea advanced
by former Governor Coke Stevenson in the mid-
1940’s. This was that the deadline for paying
poll taxes be moved forward to a few weeks prior
to the date of the first primary, so that the poll
tax would become, in el'ieet, a voting registra-
tion fee such as is charged in many states.
Why not, asks the Star Telegram, to carry
this proposal a step farther, allot a portion of
the poll tax to the purpose of defraying the
primary election costs in the counties’
The Dallas Morning News commenting editori-
al the rise of all recent dictatorships.''
. . It has been suggested . . . the poll tax

News rays.
Tbits is on the theory that, under the l.S
Supreme Court ruling, the party primary is a
state function. This idea should be thrown out
of the window The Supreme Court was wrong.
Consolidation of functions of political party and
state :has been a concomitant evil development
in tile.rise of all recent dictatrships.'
‘ We don't know what the answer is. The poll
tax as a means of paving part of the cost seems
feasonable enough, but it would take some mo-
ney away from our school system, which is a
principal bemdiciary of the poll tax at prevent.
However, some solution must be worked out.
The high tiling tees plus high campaigning costs
may discourage main qualified men from seek-
ing public offices if this problem i> not solved.

THE BUS LINE
By DAN BUS
A little bit of bitterness always creeps into my feelings when I
read about episodes of pantv raiding” such as have taken place
at SMU and Texas U. recently.
This is because I am always reminded of the universal feeling
of disgust which prevailed aboard a certain aircraft carrier when
reports of such raids reached Korean waters.
Those fellows over there practically ‘ blew a cork”, especially
the reserves who were stopping the gap while many younger men
were deferred to get a college education (D.
1 can remember some guy saying U those punks want to make
raids, let them come over here”.

SFC Suinsburg says that the stands holding recruiting posters
have been newly painted for about a week—and he is the guy
that did the job!
