This law is being quietly enforced in this
region. Many complain of it. and it is clear.
" unpopular with the owners Of Indifferent
dogs. but we have heard of no serious oppo-
sition to its enforcement, and hope not to.
The law is evidently defective, and ought
not to have been enacted at this time, and
we are glad Senator Dixon voted against it.
But it is law and must be submitted to as
such. The design Of the law, 10 protect and
encourage the raising of Sheep In the State, is
good, and when it is considered that 90
sheep are exempt from taxation, il will be
seen that the burden Of the tax Is nothing,
more being saved on sheep than is paid on
dogs. Farmers can thus afford to pay the
tax on valuable dogs, while worthless ours
they can dispense with without injury ia
themselves or anybody che.
