The Dog License.

To the Editor of The Journal
In T h e urnal Of June Il the
statement was made that the sum of 81
for dog license and tag, which many,
people are in the habit Of paying to the,
city clerk each spring, does not entitle
their dogs to run at large. If it does not
do SO. will you kindly state thru your
paper what 1t is for? And IL it does do
so, please state what provision the city
has made in the present case for re-
FUNDING the same to those individuals
who have paid their money in good faith
II the payment Of this tax does not en-
Title them to let their dogs run at large
then those persons who have paid for a.
license are on the same footing with
those who pay no license, but take the
chance OF having their dogs impounded
and killed, and consequently If an order
ike the present one can be enforced even
Tor one hour, their money has been OBJ
ta1ned from. them under false pretenses
since dogs are personal property and are
taxed as such what authority has the
city to impose an extra tax, unless It is
to entitle the dogs to additional liberty ?
know the matter Of legality is oues-
toned by many able lawyers, some of
whom, no doubt. will welcome the pres
ent oppressive order as furnishing an
opportunity for test case.
| Regarding this order. 1t would be quite
as reasonable to insist that because one
child has proved to be vicious, and
| manned another in>some way, or put out
| an eye, as is not infrequently the case.
no child should be allowed to get out on
the street under penalty OF Imprisonment
or worse; or because a maniac commits

fined to their own premises under pen

Only In such q case 1t would be much
easier, as man Is the nobler animal. and
has a mind with which he could solace
the otherwise lonely hours Furthermore.
anyone who has a knowledge OF dogs
knows that they are far more liable to be
! irritable, and also to contract disease
when they are habitually chained or kept

order, especially at this season OF the
year. Is one Of the surest ways to cause
the trouble which they claim to be guard

The Packers Against Legislation.

Evidently there has been a very
pretty battle in the house committee on
agriculture with the result that there is
now majority in it favorable to the
Beveridge amendment, whereas, at the
beginning Of the hearings the Wads-
worth amendment was in the ascendant.
The beef crowd evidently tried to rush
the committee and part of its tactics
was to crush the government witnesses.
Commissioner NeilI was treated like a
pickpocket who had turned state evi.
dence until Representative Davis Of
Minnesota asked for decent considera-
tion of the evidence of the president
messenger. Later Mr.. Davis appears to
have headed off a junket of the com.
mittee to Chicago, which was meant to
consume time and permit the members
of congress to have "a glimpse of pac1-.
inghouses which have been Industrious
ly scrubbed since The Neill report and
which would be as sweet as a June
bride bv the time the congressional com.
nlittee arrived.
The packers it may be assumed are
against the Beveridge bill for two rea'
sons First, it provi1cs absolutely for
inspection from the hoof to the can;
secondly, it provides that the packers
shall pay the expense Of such inspec-
ton. They are therefore. in the posi-
ton of being in favor of law, but
against its enforcement, and especially
at their expense.
The objections Of the packers to pay
ing the cost Of inspection would have a
right to consideration if it were not SO
evidently straw grasped at to- pre-
vent the passage Of inspection legisla-
tion. The inspection fee would not
break the packers. The highest esti.
mate has been cents an animal killed.
This amount distributed thru the
pounds of meat gotten out of the car
cass would be reduced to insignifcance
as a tax upon any one brand Of meat
foods. The real objection Of the pack
ers to the Beveridge amendment will be
found in the "hoof to the cam cpl
gram. The packers do not want and
will not have, if they can prevent it, a
government inspector standing in the
middle of every process room and exam
lining into the methods employed. There
is too much Industrious paternaism
about this for it to be borne with pa.
tience.
It is nuisance to have an inspector
forever at your elbow, but it can
scarcely be helped now. The packers

BALLOONS AND AUTOMOBILES.
Big Race Was Started at Berlin
 About Noon To-day.

Berlin, Oct 10.--A race between balloons and automobiles was started at noon to-day, as an exhibition for the members of the International Aeronautic society, by the Balloon corps of the military transport de- partment. The balloons were sent up from the parade ground at Tegel, sev- en miles north of Berlin. at intervals of fifteen minutes. Four balloons, each of 200 cubic metre capacity SLd carrying two officers and an assitant umpire, took part in the contest. As each balloon, with board, designat- ing pennant. shot up and sailed away in the direction of Hamburg before a sixteen milA breeze. four. anG fL one instance five, automobiles, flying the colors of the balboa and posted on roads adjacent to .he parade ground. followed, so that within an hour seventeen automobiles. chosen from numerous entries. were speed ing after the airships.
 Among those in the automobiles were: Prince von Salm-Salm, Prince Ernest von Saxe- Allenburg and Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg- Schwerin. Prince Henry of Prussia. who was to have taken part in the contest. was detained at Kiel on na- val business.
 Theoretically. each of the balloons carried despatches while the auto mobiles were in the service of the enemy and pursued them with the object of capturing them. If the bal loonists after landing had twenty minutes in which to escape. they won while the automobiles won if they reached the balloons within that pc riod.
 It was also provided that a bal loonist must descend inside of two hours.
 The weather vas clear and enor- nous crowds cheered the aeronauts as the balloons shot away.
