Procedure of Industrial Insurance Commission in Collecting Impost Is Outlined. OX.WPIA. Wash., March'26. (Spe cial.) Major Gill Friday gave out an Interview concerning the work of the industrial insurance commission in relation to its part in the collection of tlie etate poll tax. He said: "The poll-tax law requires that the Industrial insurance commission shall furnish to the county treasurers a l:'st of employers under the industrial Insurance act in their respective coun ties. Although we are now in the proce&e of consolidating the indus trial insurance, medical aid and safety work, we have already begun compil ing: this list and the same will be fur nished to the county treasurers just as rapidly as possible, and we fully erpect to have a complete list in the hands of every county treasurer by not later than April 9; in fact, we bODA to accomplish it several days earlier than that. "I would like to also say in connec tion with this work that 1 am confi dent the people of the state of Wash ington will partly indorse the poll tax law after they are once familiar with its benefits. About the time of the an nexation the legislature of the old re public of Hawaii enacted a poll-tax law which was almost identical with the new poll-tax law of this Btate, and during the more than three years that I resided in the islands, this law had gained such popularity that the people would net have considered any suggestion of a repeal. The thou sands of Portuguese, Japanese, Fili pinos and others who had come to the islands to work on the plantations made no other contribution than . the poll tax. I think the same thing ap plies In this state and I consider the poll-tax law one of the best statutes ever enacted by the Washington legislature."
