Richards Speaks
Against Poll Tax
Bill In Congress
The following is a speech made
on the floor of the House by
Congresdnan J. P. 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

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

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.

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
