Richards of the fifth District of South Caro lina, who is a member of the Steering Committee made up of Southern Members in Congress organized to fight Federal poll tax legislation: Mr. Richards. Mr. Speaker, on Monday next another chapter in the anti-poll tax campaign will be written in this House. .Little now can be said on the subject The issue is plain and simple and the written word of the Constitu tion has decided that issue—at least, in the minds Of every good lawyer with whom I have ever talked. Here is what the Con stitution of the United States says on the subject Article I, section 2: The House of Representatives shall be com posed of Members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the quali fications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature. Article I, section 4: The times, places and manner of holding elec tions for Senators and Represent atives shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; >ut the Congress may at any time >y law make or alter such regu- ations, except as to the places of choosing Senators. Article I, section 8, clause 18: To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying :nto execution the foregoing pow ers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Gov- enunent of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. In other words, the Constitution PAGE ulyem I,,, 1 II ,1 ■ Ml 1 .H.'l Florida Sunday, where she has accepted a position with the Jack sonville High school Sume McDowell and Mrs. Mrs. Alma Grant spent Sunday with Mrs. Fannie Truesdale and Mrs. Eunice Stover of Kershaw.

Rev. and Mrs. Douglas Smith and son, Douglas, visited Mr. and i Phiffer says that each State shall be the judge of the Qualifications of its voters. Period. It Is as simple as that A child can understand. But the trouble Is many people do not want to understand and seek to make political capital out of what should not be an issue by stirring up class hatred and race prejudice. If these people really want to understand, they should read the record in the case of Breedlove v. Buttles (302 U. S. 277,283) and Pirtlev. Brown (118 Fed. 2d 218; certiorari denied by Supreme Court, 82 Sup. Ct Rep. 64) whether a State has a poll tax requirement for voting matters little Statistics have repeatedly shown mat the requirement of a poll tax receipt by a State has not proved a deterrent against voting. But it means much to our liberties, democratic processes, and representative government, whether or not the Federal gov ernment is going to usurp the powers never intended for it by the Constitution. The free ballot is a sacred right of our people. To keep it free, the writers of the Constitution were careful to preserve thtft right for the States. Only seven States now have poll tax laws, and I venture to say that within • few years all of these laws will be repealed by those States. Personally, I have been in favor of repealing our South Carolina law on the subject for many years; and have so stated on many oc casions. But, Mr. Speaker, do not forget that the real issue here is not this poll tax requirement for voting in a few States. The issue here is whether or not States’ Rights as envisioned by the Constitution sooner or later will be wiped out entirely. It is needless to point out, of course, that if the agiators for this legislation are not satisfied with the clear evidence that the States are slowly but surely doing away with poll tax laws, they should achieve their purpose by another constitutional method, that is, by amendment to the Constitution. It seems, though, that constitu tional methods are obnoxious to many who frantically push for this legislation. Why is it that the Daily Worker has been constan ' fer of Marshville, ment can pass upon the question of whether or not poll tax pay ments should be a qualification for voting in South Carolina, it can also decide as to other re quirements for voting, such as citizenship, and prop erty holding. If this act becomes law, it will have no appreciable effect on the number of those voting in South Carolina, either white or colored, but it will estab lish a precedent that will sooner or later destroy liberty and repre sentative government in this coun try. j JayCees Meet On Thursday Night The Camden Junior Chamber of Commerce was expected to dis cuss at its meeting Thursday night further plans for insuring a tremendous turnout at the Pal metto League Baseball game next Monday night, Aug. 8, between Camden and Hartsville which will be observed as “Kids’ Night” and which is being sponsored by the JayCees.

Stokes, Jr, visited her sister in Durham, N. has been constantly agitating for this legislation? why is it that every Communist, every fellow traveler, every extreme left-wirfg- er is determined to concentrate m Washington control of the voters of this country? The answer is simple. Some one has said, “Give me police powers and the power to decide as to the qualifications of voters, and J am a dicUtor.” , The twin brother of this pro posal is the Federal anti-lynching bill One would usurp the police powers of the State; the other would control the rights of the States to fix the qualifications of voters. Is any one here blind to what has happened in Russia’ These are the two powers that Stalin gathered to hie bosom be fore he could relegate Russian citizens to the status of the a of the Dark Ages. Mr. Speaker, let itne say in closing: If the FmMPal govern Henry Trueadale has re- SfWttSPW*-. ard Truesdale (Collette Zayat) can how return to the U. S. from France.

' Ti "V V Some 3,500 Kershaw county veterans will be able to begin on August 29 to file their claims for a share of the $2,800,000 Gov ernment Life insurance over pay ments due them. On August 29 the blanks will be available at the Kershaw Coun ty Service Office located in the Ami on building, every e county and else- erican postoffice in where. All a veteran needs to dv<4s to obtain the application form, which is a three-fold card containing all the necessary instructions to get the dividend, then fill out the card and mail it to the Veterans Administration. In the event the veteran does not know the num ber of his Insurance Certificate, the application can be readily identified by the Service Number, Ranks and exact name used dur ing service with the armed forces. It will not be necessary to write about insurance numbers or about the status of the dividend application, because the Veterans Administration will mall back to each veteran part of the applica tion to show that it has been re ceived and is being processed. The dividend is simply a refund on premiums paid on wartime in surance. The veterans are being refunded a portion of the money,, they, themselves, paid the govern ment for life insurance TO GOLF TOURNEY Fifteen members of the Camden Country club will go to Columbia next Sunday to taka part in the golf tournament sponsored by the Palmetto Golf league of which Camden is a member.
