Salt Lako City. July 39. Will you kindly publish in your Questions and Answers department the names of President Elliott's five feet of .books? ,M. B. We do not care to do so, as it was an advertising nchomo altogether, as Dr. FJiot explains, A publishing house asked him to get up a ''five-foot shelf" of books of its publications, for use in pushing its publications. He did so, as an export, receiving pay therefor. But. as the list was necessarily confined con-fined to the publications of the" house which employed , Dr. Eliot, and the omissions were thus necessarily flagrant, flag-rant, the list has no general value, though the scheme was a mighty good business stroke by the publishing house. Beaver, July 10. Please answer through the columns of 3'our paper where tho" poll tax Jaw is at. About. March. 23. 1909, the legislature repealed ihe then existing law providing pro-viding for a poll tax of $3. and enacted a new law providing that a poll tax of $2. payable in cash, on or lief ore the third Mondav in April of each and every year, be made, at which time at was provided that all persons who had not paid at that date were delinquent, and provision made in the law for collection col-lection .by the county attorney. Owing to the fact; that the law of 1907 was repealed March 23, can tho $3 poll lax oT cither cash or labor be collected? Sinco the timo at which the tax is made delinquent, the third Mondav in April, has also passed, can tho poll tax of $2 in cash be now enforced? A READER. Attorney-General Barnes says: "In my opinion the old law is repealed, and $3. either in cash or labor, cannot be collected, but that tho new law, pro vidiug for the collection of 2 in cash, may bo enforced,; that is to sav. Mm giving of the notice required in section in the new U'v is -i no-preliminary no-preliminary to I ho collection of the tax." |
