The DOG Tax.

To the Editor of The Republican:
In the last issue of your paper no.
ticed petitions were being sent to the
Legislature for a dog tax law. This
seems a good, and in fact, essential law,
if passed, as we hope it will be. We all
know sheep raising is profitable but
hazardous under the existing influences.
If the tax is small the county will get
the money, but sheep raising would be
no safer. Therefore the tax must be at
least 81 or So peryea A dog not worth
this is useless. The law should prescribe
that when sheep are killed by dogs, if
the owner Of dogs are known, they be
forced to pay damages, but if not it
must be paid out of the tax money. 1t
should also require a man to have wit
ness as to the number of sheep killed
and value Of same, when suing for dam
ages
Every community should be represen-
ted by a petition, so get up one at once
and also let US have your views through
the papers.

Not few plugging bills Of great age
and little dignity have been introduced
already too, while legislation affecting
the railroads is tolerably certain of pass
age. A fiat rate of two cents per mile
is provided for in a bill presented in the
House Thursday, and other means of
like character are expected. The wave
Of resentment which has swept over the
country recently as a result Of the
revelation made with regard to the
railroads has not missed Maryland and
the chances are that the bills aimed at
lower cost of railroad travel will have
3 better chance this session than ever
before.

Home Like 10 the Travelling
Public.

Real estate in Oakland within the past
few weeks has been on the boom, three
properties amounting in value to more
than $4,000 having changed hands
within that time.
The latest deal involved the purchase
of the Schley Hotel, located on Railroad
street, adjoining the Baltimore and Ohio
station, which was purchased on Satur-
day afternoon by eX-Sheriff Edward J.
Frantz from Mrs. Mamie E. Burke
trustee of the estate of her late hus-
band, Thomas F. Burke Mr. Edward
H. Sincell represented the trustee in the
transaction.
Mr.. Frantz a few weeks ago was on
the point of purchasing the Giessman
Hotel on Third street but was taken sick
about the time the deal was to be closed
The departure of S. F. Herr, the recent
lessee of the Schley, put that property
on the market and Mr. Frantz seeing a
good investment made the purchase, as
suming charge Monday evening of this
week.
The new proprietor contemplates
making some changes in the house and
it will be newly furnished in many de-
partments. 1t will be made home like
and inviting to the travelling public.
Mr.. Frantz will give his personal atten-
ton to the management of the house
which insures its success as a first
class hotel.

To Secure Land for Public Use.

In the Senate yesterday Senator
Brown introduced bill authorizing the
County Commissioners to purchase a
certain lot in Oakland upon which to
erect a new court house. The lot in
question is the Grim property and is To-
Gated between the new Jail building and
the Corrigan property which the Com
missioners purchased some months ago.
An offer was made to the owners of this
property but they refused to sell, hence
legislation is necessary and condemna-
ton proceedings to secure the property
for public uses will be instituted at
the proper time by the Commissioners.

Der Company has its railroad located
to get to the timber lands in the

verified into torrent and the onrush of
the water was so terrific that nine
bridges on which the railroad crossed
the stream, were washed entirely away.

commission and seriously handicapping
the operation of the mill owned by the
company.
Besides damaging the railroad the
county road leading along Little Bear
Creek was badly washed by the waters.
At one point a mass of driftwood which
had lodged in the stream turned the
water into the roadway which washed
it out in many places and rendered the
road impossible.
In other portions of the county the
roads were damaged to some extent es-
pecially down in District Nos. and II.

CHILD LABOR LAW
ABOUT COMPLETED.
viii Soon Be introduced in the Legis-
lature-Sone Important Features.

The Maryland Child Labor Committee
held an enthusiastic meeting in the
library of the Federated Charities
Building, Baltimore. The special Iegis-
lative committee, through Frederick
Dorton, member of the House of Dele
gates, presented draft of bill for a
proposed child-labor law to the state
committee. for correction in several
minor details. The State committee
decided to take the stand, for the pro-
lection of child laborers, that the pres
ent law, fixing IA years as a minimum
age at which children may be employed
in certain industries, is inadequate, and
that the enforcement Of the present
law is not good.
The bill to be proposed to the legisla-
ture will provide that after October,
1906, no child under Z years may be
employed in any factory, store or bust
ness establishment either in Baltimore
city or any county of Maryland and is
provided further that after January l,
1907, the minimum age at which children
may be employed shall be 10 years, and
on and after the LIST of January, 1908,
the minimum age shall be IA years.
1t is further provided in the bill that
employers must receive two employ
ment certificates from every child they
employ, one of which shall be kept in
a place easily accessible to factory in
spectors and school attendance officers,
the other shall be kept on file in the
office of the employer; that this certif-
cate shall be issued in Baltimore city by
the chief oflthe Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, and in the counties by any member
of the county board of health or local
health officer. These has passed GER
tain standard of physical and mental at
tainment, and shall be issued without
cost to the applicant.
The bill provides for penalties in the
form Of fines of from S. to $50 each for
any violation of the provisions Of this
law.
