EMERY COUNTY'S DOGS. 3
LOTS OF TROUBLE IN COLLECT
ING THE TAXES.
Something of MIDDLE Which Calls
Forth an Opinion From Attorney
General Bishop.

Emery county is having a great deal
of trouble with its dog population. The
problem in reality is how to collect
the imposed tax on the ours. Last
year the board of county commission
ers of that county passed an ordinance
creating the constable of each precinct
dog tax assessor and collector, with
instructions, if they found the dog
without a collar and the owner refused
or neglected to pay 81 in tax. the con-
stable was to kill the dog. The theory
of this plan was good enough, but the
results were very unsatisfactory. The
new board os commissioners subse-
quently passed another resolution re-
During the county assessor to list the
number Of dogs owned by each tax
payer on the assessment roll at the
same time The assessment was being
made for other purposes, and requiring
the assessor to collect 81 for each ca
nine 60 listed.
This seems to have created quite g
middle, the assessor contending it was
not a part of his duties to collect dog
tax. Yesterday Attorney General
Bishop received 3 letter from County
Attorney Howard of HUNTINGTON, who
seeks enlightenment upon the follow
ing point:
First, has the board the right to re-
quire the assessor to assess and collect
dog tax? Second, If not, what will be
the proper way TO assess and collect
said taX2 Third, has the board the
right TO appoint an officer not men
toned in the law defining his duties?
In his reply the attorney general
points 10 section 2S Of the county gov
ernment bill as giving the commits
sioners power TO levy dog tax, and
then he continues:
The effect of the resolution adopted
by the county commissioners in 1896.
would ne 20 seem to constitute the
constable Of each precinct collector
of the tax in question. 1t presupposes
the existence of another resolution or

WOMEN OFFICE-SEEKERS.
ONE DESIRES THE POSITION OF
UNITED STATES CONSUL.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster Working Hard
to Obtain For Hubby the Posi-
ton of Governor of New Mexico
Believes She Has Earned the
Appointment.

New York, March 10.-A Sun spec
ial from Washington says:
Miss Marilla Kicker of New Hamp-
shire desires to be appointed minister
to the republic of Colombia, and Miss
Cora c. Weed of Muscatine, Ia, has
applied for one of the European con-
sulates. There is nothing in the law
to prevent the appointment of a wom-
an to a consular or q diplomatic place,
but it is doubtful whether a foreign
government would receive an envoy
of that sex The duties of consul
might be performed easily by a wom-
an. Miss Kicker was formerly a
resident of Washington, and part
ner of Belva A. Lockwood. She was
the first woman admitted to practice
in the courts of New England. She
is a large, fine looking person, 40 years
old or thereabout, with short, curly
hair, and rather a masculine air. She
was for years q familiar figure on the
streets of this city.
Miss Weed Is said to be a bright
young woman, and has held several
appointments under the state govern
ment of Iowa. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster,
formerly of Iowa, is a daily visitor
at the White House. She asks the
appointment of her husband as gov
ernor OF New Mexico. and bases his
claims upon her services to the Re-
publican party in campaigns. She has
not been able to see the president, but
has been down at the interior depart
ment and has had several interviews
with Secretary Porter. There are sew
eral other women here assisting their
husbands or sons to appointment. Mrs.
Mckinley, however, has not received
any women office-seel1ers except Mrs.
Logan and Mrs. Fred Grant. who
know her personally, and are always
welcome at the White House.

SUIT ORDERED.
County Commissioners To Sue Ex-
Sheriff-Bills and Claims-Money
Received.

The county commissioners held a ses-
sion yesterday and transacted consid-
cradle business. The commissioners
will transfer the dispute between them
and Heber Wright, over the method of

into the courts and instructed the at
torneys to begin suit to compel Mr..
Wright to turn over the balance of the
fees collected by his Office between
July l. 1896, and Jan. 4, 1897. His salary

Mr.. Seaman reported that $4,000 had
been received by the treasurer from
the collector and had been apportioned
to various funds
Three thousand dollars was trans
ferred from the general contingent
fund to the general salary fund.
The county attorney recommended
that the claim Of H. 3. Ekin for S45 10
and costs of suit won by him in JUS
tice Perrin's court be referred back, as
costs were not taxed correctly. 1t was
ordered and a number of other recon-
mendations made by him concerning
small claims were allowed. The board
will be in session again tomorrow.

Flag For the Secretary of War.

Washington, March 10.-Orders is
sued from the army headquarters con-
tain a provision adopting a flag for
the secretary of war, its approval be-
ing one Of the last acts of Secretary
Lamont. The new regulation, in part,
is as follows:
The flag of the secretary of war will
be of scarlet bunting, measuring u
feet fly and six feet eight inches hoist,
having upon it an eagle with out
stretched wings; on the breast of the
eagle a United States shield; in the
right talon an olive branch with ber-
ries, and in the left a bunch of arrows;
in the eagles beak a scroll with the
motto e Pluribus Unum.' In the field
of the shield there shall be placed two
rows Of stars, six in the upper and
seven in the lower row, placed equi-
distant apart. There shall also be
placed in each corner of the flag a
white star, the measurement of>which
shall be 9.S inches from point to
point
Colors of silk are also provided. The
secretary of the navy has a somewhat
similar flag, the ground color being
blue This was adopted eight years
ago. The president OF the United States
has had a special flag for over ten
wears

that upon the payment of such tax,
the dog should be provided with a
collar If such resolution or ordinance
had been duly passed by the county
commissioners il would be an exercise
of the police power vested in the county
commissioners by said section rs, for
the purpose of regulating the owner
snip OF dogs with a view Of preventing
Injuries 20 cattle or sheep as well as
for the purpose of taxation. Such reso-
lutIonS would not come within the
taxing power of the county, but would
come within the police power thereof.
1t would not be an imposition of a tax
upon property on the theory of taxation
of property according to it's value,
but, being for the purpose OF resula-
ton or in the exercise of the police
power, it need not conform to the prin-
ciple of uniformity which must be
observed in the former case. The owner
of every dog in the county, if the
same had value as property, would
be liable, and it would be the duty
of the assessor to assess the dog at
its actual value, and the assessment
and collection of the tax thereon would
come within the duties of the assessor
and collector of the county, whose du-
ties are imposed by law; but when the
tax or license is imposed under the
police power, it is valid whether i'm
posed for the purpose of regulation or
revenue or both. And although the
property had been taxed under the
general laws on the ad-valorem prin-
ciple, such fact would not prevent the
county from enforcing the resolutions
which are referred to, for the purpose
of licensing and regulating the privi-
lege. The duty of enforcing the pro-
visions of the resolutions thus passed
by our board in pursuance of the DO
lice power which is vested in it, would
properly fall upon the peace officers of
the county to be designated by the
board.
You are. therefore advised that the
tax upon dogs NAV be collected. first:
By the exercise of the police power
possessed BIZ the county, by the adop
ton of proper ordinances in relation
thereto. Second, by assessing them as
other property is assessed according to
their value. in which case they would
be collected as other similar taxes

American Fork, March 10.-Our old
friend and Utah's favorite actor, Phil
Margetts, supported by the American
Fork Dramatic company, has been
playing a new four-act drama entitled
Uncle JOSH to the satisfaction and
delight of the good citizens Of Amer
lean Fork and Pleasant Grove, and we
can but speak in the highest terms Of
praise for this company.
They secured the services of Mr..
Margetts, but a short time ago, and he
proved what good training with tai
ented people could do. In little over
one week he was able to produce a
good drama, in first-class style, at the
above named places. Lehi would have
had the pleasure of witnessing The
efforts of this excellent company but
for misunderstanding about dates.
Mr.. Margetts has done more for the
building UP of the drama in Utah than
perhaps any other man, and his ef-
forts should be appreciated by anna
teur and professional. phil is shortly
to appear with the Tooele City ORA

at which places the good people may
expect a theatrical treat. Phirs name
