1ectors were afraid to take hold Of the iogs.
Dogs could not be taxed in accordance with
| the spirit OF the Constitution, In their ap-
tie tax didn't abolish the nuisance, or aE least
he didn't see it. The dog tax was wrong IN
constitutional, unjust and tyrannical. People
| are against the measure, and the people are
| everything in this Democratic country.
