Proposed Dog Tax
Unconstitutional

The proposed dog tax 'don't 90. ;"
In response to a request from the
county attorney for an opinion as to
its legality the attorney general says
that there is no authority of law for
the levy of such a tax. Tt would, in
his opinion, be clearly in conflict with
section IL of article XI of the state
constitution, which provides that
"Any county, city, town or town.
ship may make and enforce within its
limits all such local police, sanitary
and other regula tions as are not in
conflict with general laws"
After quoting this section the attor-
ney-general says:
If this provision Of the constitution is
power to make such an ordinance as you
refer to. If it is not self-executing it
would not have such power.
:" is general rule of statutory inter-
probation that where constitutional pro-
vision furnishes no rule for it's own en-
forcement, or where it expressly or i'm
pliedly requires legislative action to give
effect to the purposes contemplated. it is
not self executing.
"It will be noticed upon an examination
of the above section Of the constitution
that thoug.. the power is given counties to
make and enforce all such local police
regulations as are not in conflict with gen.
eral laws, the mac. iinery by which such
police regulations are to be made and en-
forced is not provided for by statute, as is
done for incorporated cities. This GER
tainly would require, implicitly at least,
Legislative action to provide the manner
in which such police regulations should
be made and enforced.
"We hold therefore, that this section of
the constitution is not se,f-executing and
that since the county commissioners are
neither expressly or implicitly given, by
the legislature the power to enact an ordi-
nance relative to the licensing, impound-
ing and putting to death of dogs, such
board of county commissioners do not
have such power"

L Locating The
Soldiers Home

Senator Blair went to Seattle the
first of the week to attend meeting
of the legislative committee, OF which
he is chairman, appointed to select,
in conjunction with the state board
of control, site for the new soldiers
home. There seems to be q strong
among old soldiers and
others who have heard the matter
discussed that the home will be To-
Gated at American lake, near Taco
ma, upon a beautiful tract OF land
belonging to the state. Much as we
would naturally like to see the home
located here, it must be conceded
that the Americanlake site IS fne
one. It is strongly favored by
large majority Of the old soldiers now
in the home at Orting. II it IS to
come to any Of the northwestern
counties and cannot come here, Ana
ccrtes offers incomparably the best
location.

Cushman Favors
The Simple Life

Congressman Cushman, of this
state, delivered a strong address
few days ago in Chicago at a banquet
given by the Hamilton club, celebrat-
ing the recent Republican municipal
victory. Among other good things
he said.
There are too many people whose
sole desire is to cut a dash-who
would rather ride in a mortgaged
automobile on borrowed gasoline. than
walk in the paths of honorable OBJ
scurity in virtuous unostentation.
IF one-half Of the people in this
nation who are operated on for ap-
pendic;tis would instead have their
vanity and their selishness cut out,
they would be So vastly improved
the 'eby that they wouldn't have any
trouble thereafter living in company
with an innocent and respectable ver-
inform appendix.
II would like to seq the American
people come back to sane and simple
methods of life unmarked by business
chicanery and unmarried by vulgar
ostentation.
"There seems to be a, crazy notion
abroad in this republic. today that
all the ills that this nation is heir to
can be cured by law. That is an iG-
lotto heresy that ought to be laid
away in the political graveyard along
with the pet theories of the fat mon
ey lunatic.
cit ought not to require antitrust
laws to prevent combina tions Of cap
ital from plundering the people.
1T ought not to require federal
to restrain labor leaders
from murder and violence. The
cause and the cure for these evils
can be found in the hearts ofmen and
not on the pages of the statute books.
The law-making machinery Of this
government cancot by any human in
genuity be enlarged or accelerated
so that it can move as quickly or in
as many directions as unrestrained,
individual crookedness.
s'There are two kinds of slavery in
this world-one kind which fbrces an
honest man to labor without pay
against his will and the other variety
which denies to an honest man the
opportunity to labor when he will.

Two Indians Thought
To Be Drowned

Two Indians, both intoxicated, are
believed to have been drowned here
during the week. One Of them is
to have fallen from one of
the docks Tuesday night although
there is a possibility that he may
have gone away with some other In
dians who left that night. That is
considered improbable, however, and
his mother, who was still here Thurs
day, mourned him as lost and in ac-
cordance with the Indian custom she
threw into the bay those of his per-
sonal effects which had been left in
the family boat, including bis gun.
The other Indian who is unaccounted
for was missed Thursday morning.
Just about year ago q drunken In
dian was found dead In his boat here,
having smothered during the night,
and a few weeks ago two others, both
intoxicated, narrowly escaped being
wrecked and drowned in San Juan
channel-all in consequence Of the
f1agrant disregard of civil and moral
law and the orders Of the board OF
county commissioners in the matter
of the sale of liquor here. If the of
ficials charged with the enforcement
of the law are powerless to prevent
such exhibitions Of indecency as are
seen here almost every time the In
dian clam fleet comes to town, it is
not a verv good commentary upon
the law or our civilization.

HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND
EASILY PREPARED BY ANYONE.
is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness, Though
Harmless, and Pleasant
to Take.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Brights disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspOOnful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime
Well-knoWn authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can he obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to do
SO. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatism Affections with splendid
results he could see no reason why it
would not be splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles, and back
ache, as it has a peculiar action upon
the kidney structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the blood
foul acids and waste matter which
causes sickness and suffering Those
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it a trial.

Continuing Mr.. Bell said that the

cOntaqion a Question of Prevention

contaqion a Question of Prevention.
Sinks, drains, eating and cooking
utensils, sick room linen and clothing
frequently carry the dreaded disease

Thorough and hygienic cleansing is
the best safeguard against infection,
and such a safeguard is found in the
universal household ecessity-Borax.
This simple preventive carries in
itself, disinfecting qualities which en-
ter the fabric or act upon the article
to be cleansed in a hygienic manner,
eliminating every unWholesome prop
erty, rendering it cOntagiOn proof,
while at the same time Borax is of
itself as harmless as salt.
Unlike most disinfectants who de-
pend upon their strength of odor or
harmful-to-the-system qualities to ar
rest or prevent cOntagion, BoraX is
Natures remedy, being easy to OBJ
tain and easy to apply, a simple sOlu-

grocer or druggist in convenient, eco

In addition to its disenfecting quail
ties, Borax is especially a household
necessity, as it can be used for soft
ening water, cleansing and whitening
clothes, clearing the skin, whiten-

dandruff remover and can be used on
the finest laces or most delicate fab
