OF scarcely less importance is the matter Of
Sheep Husbandry. 1t has been said that
''sheep are the sheet anchor of English agri-
culture" The statement is applicable to and
eminently true of agriculture everywhere. -
Certainly, no Maryland farmer would ques-
ton il, whether sheep be considered as a
source OF profit or means Of improving land.
Nevertheless, in many parts OF our Stale;
sheep raising, owing to the ravages of dogs, is
impossible, and even where it survives, is en-
numbered with such trouble, expense and loss
as to greatly impair its profits. 1t will be
generally found that sheep killing dogs are
without responsible owners who can be made
TO pay damages, and as sheep raising is other
wise unprotected by law, it can only be prose-
cuted under dangers and disadvantages almos,
prohibiory.
Your memoriaiists believe that this evil can
be remedied, by capitalion tax on dogs, il
sufficiently heavy and rigidly coleeted and
that such taxation, besides adding largely to
the wealth of the people, by the consequent
development of Sheep Husbandry, will direct
ly increase the public revenue to a considera-
Bile amount. Your memorialists are happy in
the assurance that this measure of simple JUS
tce, resting as it does on the fundamental
principle of civilized society, ''that every man
must so enjoy his own rights as not TO destroy
those of his neighbour" will injure no one, and
will provoke no unsuitable opposition. Surely
all good citizens (whether raising sheep or
not, who keep dogs, will be as willing TO be
taxed for abatng the destructive nuisance Of
worthless dogs as for abating any other evil
hurtful to large public interests and private
rights
Should your memorialists be mistaken how
ever, and dog owners be averse TO such taxa
ton, it will be for your Honorable Body legis-
lating for the public good, TO decide between
protection ofdogs and protection of sheep, and
whether dogs paying no tax and adding moth
ing TO the general wealth shall destroy sheep,
which largely do both.
Your memorialists, therefore, respectfully
pray the enactment of some stringent and eff
fective law for taxing, per capita, such dogs
as their owners may desire to keep, and for the
killing of all dogs upon which taxes are I'M
paid within some short period after each an
nual lew
