\ a LAXREGISTERING FLAYED BY G. 0.P. Republican Survey Reveals Many in Arlington “Un- interested.” By Staff Correspondent of The Etar. CLARENDON, Va., September 28.—A | survey now being conducted by the Re- publican party in Arlington County re- wveals that there are a largs number of residents who have paid their poll taxes but who have failed to register. Many of these have lived in the county for many years, it was said. | “In a few instances,” a report pre- pared by the Republican County Com- mittee says, “this is found to be due to the fact that the resident cannot read and write, but in at le2st 99 per cent of the cases it is found to be due to @ disregard of their rights of suffrage and a total lack of interest in county affairs. It is estimated that the total number of residents in the county who are eligible but who have not qualified to vote is apnsiderably in excess of 3,000. When it is realized that the r‘reunt voting population of the county slightly less than 6,000, the presence of the more than 3,000 who have failed to qualify becomes exceedingly impor- tant. In every case where thi, condi- tion has been found, they have been urged to register regardless of whether they are Republicans or Democrats. Few Abuses Reported. “While the registration law in Vir- ginia places very broad powers in the hands of the registrars, but few in- stances have come to light in Arlington County of the abuse of these powers. It is understood that in one precinct the prospective voter who presents him- self for registration is likely to be in- terrogated as to his party afliations, which is, of course, highly improper But in most cases, regis- is made reasonably easy, the Tegistrar merely satistying herself that the applicant is qualified as to citizen- ship, age and residence, and that the required poll taxes have been paid. Eligibility Rules Listed. “In order to be eligible to register funder the laws of Virginia, a citizen of the United States, 24 y of age, who has been a resident of the State prior to January 1, 1928, must have rid 1928, 1929 and 1930 poll taxes.
