Voting Qualifications

Sir,-—4I find a lot of misunder- standing in regard to the 1111111111191!‘ tlon of ‘Ffdllfihlbe Voters in the country. The Liberals are trying to persuade the Conservative vot- pffl in many parts of the country’ that they will have to pay all ar- mars of the poll tax. So i would advise you to keep the qualifica- tion in your valuable paper. 50 that there will be no doubt albout it.

The surprise was the greater be- cause the men now in power had told the people ln 1919 that further taxes were not needed. Since then there has lbeon a controversy bc- tlveen the Government and the People on this question. The people claimed that they had been greatly deceived by promises made only in be‘ broken. The Government ‘and its supporters claim that they have kept every plcdgc they lnnlle. This controversy has gone on through many meetings. in the pre- sent campaign, bill not ill a single meeting has the (lovcrnnienVs ex- cuses. explanations, or defence proved satisfactory to a majority of those present.
