According to the decision of Justice
M. D. Asher no amount of poll tax
Is legally collectible In Iinld. Recently
sevoral cases were brought before
Judge Asher wherein the defendants
rerused to pny the tiioe dollars tax
Street Commissioner Brndflcld has
been collecting. A tost rase was made
and the court nfter thoroughly review-
ing tho statutes governing tlio matter
came to the conclusion ttxit there Is
no authority of liny for making a col-
lection of an amount
Tim decision Is based on three very
simple propositions. Under the old
law before tho constitution went -Into
effoot tlia"nir.tunt collectible wns four
dollnrs. Tho constitution did away
with tltlj nitd specified that tho legis-
lature "imty enact" a law empowering
tho collection of not over two dollars.
Hut the legislature failed to ennotjiuy
such Inw so there hi no authority for
collecting any amountt. Neither is
thero any city ordinance in conform-
ity witih tho provisions of the constitution.

C. K. N. Coles has been selected as
Huporlntondent of tho Oklahoma ljonl-
tonttary to ue locntod temporarily at
.McAiostor. The prisoners now con
fined by tho stnte In ihe Kanitts peni
tentiary ate to bo roturned and put
to work on the ronds of the stnto.
Mr. Coles tin. boen employed at the

ant oxaminlng the old territorial ac
counts. He Is not only a man of
more thnn usual ability but has liv-
ed In tho state several years and is an
old time frlond of tho chief executive.
Ho is ono of the most popular em
ployes nt foe atntehoum and a rscon-
tour ot wldo reputation. Ills selec
tion for this position 1b gonorally
looked upon as a wlso ono.
Mr. Coles stated this morning tlmt
ho would tnko a trip of several days
to .00k Into mnttors nioro fully nnd
mnko n report boforo tho new Insti
tution Is established.
Under n decision rendered by As-
sistant Attorney General Reeves
icglstratlon for tiio coming primaries
mnst be under the direction of the
precinct election boards and not un-
der the city clerks In a uunriier of
places there lias already been a laige
registration under the city clerks but
this will all have to bo done over
ngnln under the new primary law.
Tho opinion was given out In re-
ply to a letter from Judge Milton
Bryan. In which he call attention to
an appnront conflict between certain
portions of the primary and general
election laws.
Under the general election law each
precinct election officer In cities of
tho first class beginning on July 1
must open registration books tor his
proalnct. The primary law provides
for a system of registration by the
city oiorks which Is complete In it
self nnd authorizes them to open their
books June 14.
Tlip supreme election board h.uv
already construed tho law. and under
tlioir construction the certificates of
resIutnUIoji have beeu printed. Judge
Mnn ot Oie board stated that the
certificates would be sent out to the
nroclnct boards Immediately and that
the registration must be held under
their direction.
Mr Reeves at tne conclusion of his
letter statins that there anpei.r to be
no cogent reason for disregarding
the construction placed on the law by
the election board and that the thing
to do Is to follow their Inerpretatlton.
Th registration rule applies only In
cities of the first class.
