new DOG TAX LAW
Interpretation Given It at Fergus
Falls.
DEAL OF WORK MUST BE DONE
Taxes Collected Under the Old Law
Must BE Returned Those
Who Paid.

Special to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Mimi. March 19.-Copies
OF the laws passed at the recent session
OF the legislature were received here
to-day, and the county officials were not
long in discovering that the new dog tax
law had furnished them with full sea-
sons work. The law passed a year ago
provided that tax of 81 should be levied
on all male dogs and tax Of So on fe-
males. The money collected was to be
used in paying for sheep destroyed by
dogs, and whatever was left was to 60
into the county road and bridge fund.
Chapter 81 of the laws passed at the
special session repeats this law, relating
in preamble that the attorney general
holds it unconstitutional for the reason
that the tax is arbitrary and unequal,
and then goes on to provide that the taxes
already collected shall be returned to
those who have paid them, except in coun-
ties where claims for damages for sheep
destroyed have been filed. In such coun-
ties, the amount of the claims shall be
deducted from the total amount collected,
and the remainder shall be returned pro
rata to those who have paid.
Here in Otter Tail county the total dog
tax levied was $3.50, and all except $500
or $500 OF this has been paid. The amount
claimed for sheep destroyed is about
5000, and this means, that the auditor
Will have to return some 1000 people
96 cents each. In cases where they have
failed to pay, the sheriff will have to COL
lect 81, and the treasurer must then de-
duct cents, and return the SO cents.
The idea of the legislature appears to
have been that 1t was unconstitutional to
levy an arbitrary tax of 81 unless the
dogs Of the county have destroyed sheep
to the value Of 81 a dog during the past
year. In this county, the dogs destroyed
only cents worth each. and consequently
it is constitutional to levy only A.
cent tax. In counties where no sheep
were destroyed, the constitution seems to
prohibit the tax altogether.
In this county it will cost $50 in post
age and keep several clerks employed for
some months to send out the orders. The
county commissioners are considering the
question of clerk hire to-day and their
remarks regarding the repeal bill would
not look we'll in print.
Governor Van SAINT paid his first visit
to this city to-day, and spent the greater
portion Of the day in looking over the
insane hospital in company with William
E. Lee of the board of control. He also
addressed the high school, speaking on
educational topics and patriotic themes,
during the afternoon.
