DOG LAW
FAVORED BY KENTUCKY FARM.
EIsS IN THEIR INSTITUTE.
Good Roads and Development of State
Are Discussed at Frankfort
Meeting.

Frankfort Ky, Feb. 21.-Ken-
lucky farmers are in favor of the dog
tax law il the men attending the State
Farmers Institute here fairly repre-
sent the sentiments of the farmers A
resolution approving the present dog
law and declaring against its repeal
or modification in any way was adopt
ed this morning with only one vote
against II. The resolution was offered
by Ed Croan, of Bullitt county, the
father of the dog law, and the man
who put 1t through the last legislature
He urged that the sheep raiser needed
the law in order that he might not suf-
fer from the depredations of night
proving dogs.
Good roads and development of the
state was the keynote of the meeting
of the institute today, and the subject
of tax reform was also given close at
tention. William a. Robinson, of Lou
isville, spoke on this subject, explain
ing what the proposed amendment TO
the constitution is and what effect II
will have on the business interests of
Kentucky. The subject of good roads,
which Is closest TO the farmers hearts
and OF most Importance to them in
getting their crops to the market, was
given much of the time today, and in
teresting talks on the subject were
heard.

A New Theory.

theories on the subject of the dog-tax

the dog and sheep law, which Is very
promising in this vicinity at this time,
which is fast being depopulated of
sheep, the owners being reimbursed
from fund created for that purpose
by taxing each dog 81 per year. Is
not a tax license? In other words,
when / pay 81 into this fund for my
dog does it not amount to a license
for him to kill sheep for one year?
In my opinion my dog awaited him

neighbours sheep. The peighbor got
pay for his sheep. My dog had his Ii
cense all right. So 1t is a legitimate
transaction AROUND. l am under no

WRIGHT 80. ks" TITLE.
Certifies to Ownership Of Land Nea

On the recommendation Of Gen. Mar
shall the Secretary of War has certified
TO the correctness of the title Of Oscar
I,uckett as administrator of the estate
of Anna M. Devote. deceased, to lots Al
and ~ IL, square s25, near the Washing
ton navy yard. in accordance with the
provisions of an act Of Congress approved
March 3, 1899. This action was taken In
conformity with an opinion rendered by
Judge Advocate General Davis that the
act of March B. 1899, does not authorize
the sale of certain lots claimed by the
government. but is designed simply to
correct the conditions Of title. SO as to
show that the title to the property is in
the actual occupant. The judge advocate
general said also that section % of the
act of May 30, 1905, suspends or repeats
any authority "for the sale of govern
ment land" ETC.. but does not repeal the
authority conferred by the earlier act to
correct the conditions prescribed therein.
The principle embodied in the action
in this case is regarded as important in
connection with the existing legislation
relating to the sale Of certain govern
ment lands in the District along the river
front and elsewhere.

RAILWAY FARES IN VIRGINIA
JURISDICTION OF STATE COM
MISSION TO BE DETERMINED.
Injunction of Justice Pritchard to
Be Reviewed-EarlyH Hear
ing Desired.

Among the important cases which Will
receive the early attention of the Supreme
Court of the United States when it re-
corvenes next October will be one dealing
with the two-cent passenger rate on the
railroads of Virginia. The case involves
not only the validity of the rate itself,
but the legality Of the method of imposing
lit The rate was fixed by the corporation
commission of Virginia. and the railroad
compa MES contend that such q delegation
of power transcribed the authority OF the
legislature On the other hand, the state
defends the acts of the commission as
judicial. and claims that Judge Pritchard.
who enioined the enforcement Of the COM
missions order, had no right as fed
eral Judge to review the action OF the
state tribunal.
Questions Before the Court.
The Supreme Court will be compelled to
deal with this point preliminary to TAX
ing I'D the case itself, as it challenges the
Jurisdiction of Judge Pritchard's court.
and If it should be held that the commits
sion's function is judicial rather than adj
ministratiye 1t would be necessary to dis
miss the case. II. on the other hand. It
is found that it was competent Tor the
is believed 1t will be, the Supreme Court
will then enter upon the merits OF the
case and will undertake to say whether
the two-cent rate Is confiscatory and
therefore unconstitutional. as is claimed
by the roads,
Further Hearing Desired.
Both the state and the railroads have
asked for an early hearing of the case.
In their petition the attorneys for the
roads say:
1.-The questions involved are OF great
public Importance at this time and the
public interests win be greatly promoted
by an early determination Of the issues in
volved. Serious financial loss is being sus-
tanned from day to day. which can only
be avoided by decision of this honorable
court. An early hearing and speedy de-
cision are important in the interest Of
public order. and are essential to pre-
serve the rights of the parties. which
largely affect the public interests. The
operations of the appellee. which substan-
tialIy affect the public. are thrown into
confusion and cannot be adjusted or car
ried on in an orderly way until this hon.
orable court shall determine the issues in
Volved."

Wood ash seems To be a curious REM
edy for diseases in animals. yet its vir-
tues In that capacity are much appre-
ciated in Mashonaland. One well-known
farmer in that country has raised pigs
on a very extensive scale for nearly twen-
ty years without ever receiving ivtsi-
tation of cholera or swine fever, and with
a loss of only 2 per cent of Inis animals
from the plague. He attributes his good
fortune to the fact that he keeps wood
ashes and charcoal mixed with salt con-
stantly before his pigs. The mixture Is
kept In large covered boxes. with holes
bored near the bottonr from which the
