Last week, however, the Asaocia tion received another^ communica tion frojn Mrs. Bolton stating it was still her policy 4o be against -petition signing, ‘^but because The very existettee of the poll tax is a denial of constitutional rights! I have waived my strict policy and have affixed my signature to the petiti'on.” Another representative wHo had technical objeetiona to sign ing the petrtion—not to the bill —but who waived his objections after an appeal is William T, Phieffer, New York, who scaled: “I have long been convinced that there is only one valid side to the poll tax question and that lb6 Tranchiae violates the demonratie levying of a tax on the exercis ' of principles of our form of govern ment I resided, and practiced l5iw for many years in Texas, which has a poll ’tax law.

The months ahead will see production of guns, tanks, planes and aznmtmition in a rising flood beyond anything ever imagined. That’s putting on the heat — and it takes heat to do it. It takes millioiis of tons of coal to keep America’s war factories booming. And America is producing it to the stepped up tune of 11,000,000 tons a week — 24 per cent more them last year. This coal must be moved throughout the vast expanse of the land. It is being moved—swiftly, smoothly and efficientlyby the nation’s railroads. And that’s where the Norfolk and Western comes in.
