Political clash over Provincial laws publication and school tax

Abolish the poll tax gains Senate support
The Senate agreed to a resolution to amend the Massachusetts constitution to remove the poll tax as a voting prerequisite. Senator Clark urged adoption as a step toward purer politics and justice, while Senator Sprague argued voters should bear some government costs. Senator Howard called the poll tax a blot on the commonwealth, with party managers unlikely to know how people voted under the new law. The tally was 16 yeas, 11 nays, and 4 in Paris.
