The Dog Tax.

The treasurer Of Befrieu county has paid INTO
the State Treasury the sum Of 81 ls0. being the
amount Of tax assessed, for 1852 in that county,
for dogs, the amount of tax being one dollar Tor
each dog The population Of the county 10 1860
was ~. PA, which gives one dog for every ten
persons, or ABOUT dog to two families.
The population OF the State in 1860 was 75l,-
10; and il tbe number OF dogs in Befrien
county be assumed as an average for the whole
State, land it is probably not tar from it,) We
shall have dog population Of about - 900 in
the whole State These at sl.00 each would
rase an aggregate annual tax OF $1,000.
No county except Berrien paid any dog tax
sst year, probably for the reason that the Law
vas passed so late in the session that no copies
thereof we're seasoraly furnished TO the Super
visors.
By the seventh section it is provided that
the moneys collected snder this law shall be ap
oiled TO paving the interest on the primary school
iund. The impression Of the Casual reader is
that the large amount Of money required 10 be
collected under this law goes for the support Of
public schools aud this was PROBABLY the IN
teutioo OF the Legislature But such Is lot the
case. The interest or the primary school fund
If not Otherwise provided for, Is paid from the
general funds OF The SAFE aud the payment Of
the dOx tax Is equivalent TO a payment for de-
ffaying the contingent expenses OF the State.
We believe that It might De veil for the next
Legislature TO make the tax payable by the county
treAsurers into the school funds OF their respec-
i've counties, 50 that il might be dI-bursed Tor
The direct beueht OF those who pay it. This
