WANTED SPECIAL
TAX ON DOGS
DE-. HURRY HAS ANOTHER NEW
IDEA FOR THE LEGIs-
LATuRE.
Secretary of State Board Proposes
Fund to Aid The Victims
of Had Dog Bites.

DIR. j. n. Hurry, secretary of the
state board of health, will attempt
to have the next session of the gener-
al assembly, reconsider a bill which
failed to pass In the session of 1909
and that would provide relief by the
state, for persons bitten by mad dogs.
1t is the general plan of the proposed
law to impose a special tax on all
dogs in the state, to be paid into the
state treasury, to constitute a special
fund which may be drawn upon to es-
fablish and maintain a laboratory and
institution, where persons bitten by
rabid animals may be taken and treat
| ed without cost to themselves.
A report just issued by the patho-
logical laboratory Of the state board
| shows that 165 persons were bitten
by mad dogs during the fiscal year
ending September 20. Only n of
| these persons died from the disease.
Many of the bitten persons were
treated in institutions at their own
expense while a few were cared for
BY the state board. In some instances
such as that of Samuel Myers, OF
Mishasaka, who was bitten by a rab-
id dog, where the person was unable
TO pay the expense Of treatment, the
township trustee advanced the money
-. H. t,,ofnout
The death of Walter Helm, son of
Andrew Helm, a farmer Of German
township, several months ago was a
ease similar to the ones that have
| brought about the effort of the state
board to have the proposed law re-
considered. The lad was bitten by a
mad dog and was hurried to a Pas
teur institute in Chicago, but died
after a few days. The matter was
taken up with the board of county
commissioners in an effort 10 secure
money to aid the father to bear his
expenses, but after an investigation,
no law could be found whereby the
commissioners were allowed to pay
out money in such instances.

Men of Force.

Speaking of the recent election OF
Andrew Jackson to a place in the
Hall of Fame, The Christian Advo-
cate calls him "a soldier ,stateman
and rugged patriot, whose greatness
shines clearer now than it did in The
dust and smoke of the political con
fIicts of his own day. This is true
not only of Jackson but of every mar
of force and character who served hi.
day and generation. History will il
like manner record of some of thos,
who now in this country are involved
in "the smoke and dust of political
conflicts.

How the Tariff Hits Parties

In estimating the chances Of the
Republicans in this campaign it is
well to point out that every party
which ~revises a tariff is hit hard in
the following congressional election.
Not always does that party lose its
control of Congress, but it invariably
loses many seats in it. The Repub-
lican Congress which was elected in
1880 with Garfield and Arthur, and
which revised the tariff just before
the end of the term, was badly beaten
as regards the House of Representa-
tives in 1882. The Republican Con-
gress which was elected in 1883 with
Harrison altered the tariff in 1890 by
passing the Mckinley act, and the
Democrats carried the House q few
weeks later by a tremendous major
ity. Now the Democrats turn
to suffer. They passed the Wilson
German law in the summer Of 1894,
and III November of that year the
Republicans captured both House
and Senate. winning the former by a
majority of over 40 just as soon as
the Republicans regained power in
all branches of the government In
the election of 1896 they planned to
displaee the Democratic act of 1894
by one of their own. They did this
in 1897, when they enacted the
DingIey law. In the election of 1898
the Republican margin in the House
of Representatives was cut to al
most a quarter of that of two years
earlier. Moreover, had ii not been
for the successful war against Spain
which ended a few months before the
election, the Republicans might have
been beaten, and Mckinley might
have had a hostile House Of Repre-
sentatives on his hands during the
second half of his term.
This backward glance into history
is taken So as to show that any party
which ~revises a tariff has a hard task
before ii in the congressional cam
''paign Immediately afterward. Re
CARELESS of whether the revision is
wise or unwise, the party which
makes it is assailed at the polls on
account of it. No tariff has ever we,
been frared which pleased every
body.

DEFICIT
HAS BEEN GUT
TW0-TH|ROS
DEPARTMENTS REPORT SHOWS
THAT THE SYSTEM WILL
SOON BE SELF
SUSTAINING.
Deficiency was Cut Over Six Million
Dollars During The Fiscal
Year, Which Ended
June 80.

Figures of the rostofice depart
ment show that the exact reduction
of the postal deficit during the ifs
cal year ended June 80 last was $11,-
SOC, 1000. The deficit Of the previous
year was ST., 500, 1000 so that in one
year, the deficit was brought down
So, 100, 900. In commenting upon tn.
saving of $11, 500, 900 last year Post,
master General Hitchcock said:
This tremendous saving was made
without the curtailment of the postal
facilities in any direction. On the con-
trary, during the year there were
many important extensions of such
facilities. In eliminating wasteful ex-
penditures the department has been
exceedingly careful not to hamper in
any way the constant development of
the postal service required to meet
the increasing business needs of the
country.
Gin a word, the department pol,
icy is TO extend the service as rapid.
ly as is warranted by Increasing pop
ulation, and to accomplish its savings,
not by the curtailment of postal ia
e%ilities, but by handling in a more
systematic and business-like manner
the constantly expanding volume of
the nails
80
The tables prepared indicates that
in the furtheranee of the policy, more
than 1,500 new postofiices, with the
necessary Offices. employees and equip
ment, were established during the last
fiscal year. Great extensions were
made in the rural delivery system.
SIS new routes, covering a total of
1926 miles, being put into operation.
There were appointed from the eli
gible list of the Civil Service Com
mission more thar 1900 postofice
clerks TO enlarge the working forces
of city postoffices and more than 1000
additional letter carriers. The rail-
way mail service was strengthened
by the appointment of about $50 new
employees, all of whom were> taken
from the civil service eligible list.
The aggregate salaries Of the new en-
ployes appointed during the year from
the civil service lists exceed $2,000,-
600.
"This hearty cooperation I expect
to be continued through this and fu-
ture years, with the result that we
shall have a self-sustaining postal
service, and one cent letter postage
