We go out on the front second story porch and
pick roses.
We took run over to Pasadena Monday where
some of the finest residences of the country
are located. We took drive through the town
and one of the finest residences and lawns ever
saw was that of Mr.. Bushs, the beer man of st.
Louis, of the firm of Anhauser-B Bush. There
were two or three large lawn mowers at work
on the lawn and some rs to 90 men. The flowers
and grass were superb, the finest ever saw.
The weather here is equalto our May weather,
but quite cool at nights. We never go out at
night without overcoats or wraps on. My wife
and daughter are with me helping me to enjoy
it. The city is overrun with sightseers. The
citizens think it is the only city in the country.
They claim that it has grown from 10000 to 20O,-

and that property has advanced from 5000 to
$4,000 in the same time. But everything is for

A TAX ON DOGS.


slse WOODLAND, Md, January 18th, lyO6.
Editors The Union II note in last weeks
UNION that law is contemplated for the tax
ing of dogs in Baltimore county, and it brings to
my mind the subject upon which 1 have often
been tempted to write. Lovers of dogs will
agree with me that anyone really caring for q
dog will be willing to pay tax on one. Those
who cannot afford to pay tax cannot afford
dog. 1t is the most cruel thing in the world to
keep an animal of any kind and not care for it
properly. II one is unable to keep dog then
dog is better of dead than in that persons pos
session. have in mind a colored family in the
9th district who had four dogs. The mother of
the family took in washing, while the husband
did "odd jobsr at odd times. There were sew
eral small children to support and it was always
a wonder to me how they managed to live. Yet
ttey osCned four dogs.
The DOOR, half fed, or rather never fed, ami
mails secured the country for their living and
were nuisance to everyone, excepting their
owners. whose moral responsibilities were not
developed to an extent sufficient to care for the
dogs.
Whether it is dog or cat or a child. the case
is one which cannot be dead issue. If family
undertakes responsibility, then it is their re-
sponsibility and no one else's. Promiscuous
ownership is treated too lightly, and in the ques
ton under discussion should urge speedy ac-
ton. Let all dogs be taxed, and not small tax
either, and suffering humanity and dogmanity
WI be relieved. Baltimore county has too
many dogs, and 1t will be God-send to them to
I'VE their number decreased in an intelligent
an systematic manner.
1t is mans selfish disregard for the rights of
Others that permits him to keep more dogs than
he can afford to and do justice to them, and the
man who can afford to keep three or four pets
can also afford to pay tax on them, and taxed
he should be. FLORA STEWART EMORY.

carriers were removed for cause and two died.
None of the vacancies occurred in Maryland.
