REVENUE FROM CATS.

There is yet time for the General Assembly
OF Virginia to follow the wisdom that occasion
ally comes out OF Jersey. and impose q State
wide tax on cats.
Objection that such measure would but ag
srayate the already Irritating discrimination
against women by adding another item of taxa
ton without repi esentaton to their burdens
as citizens should not be permitted to stand in
the way OF legislation to correct an already
more fndcfensible bit of Partially. to-wit: the
shortsighted policy which tends to iimit the
canine census, while leaving the feline popula
tion to multiply od tnfinitum. Fully aware OF
the emlarrassments incident to army of
phaned dogs, We still heartily agree with the
logic OF the New Jersey statute which seeks to
place the like restriction upon the propagation
and enlargement of innumerabe cats.
The matter Of dog and cat is as deep as hui
man nature itself. In the contrast between
these two animals tina, to degree are partakers
OF the fortunes OF the humans with whom
they are associated lies the profound philoso-
phy which divides human nature itself in
twain AS Macterlnck's Blue Bird so
! graphically shows. Tire dog affords, eae FREAK
glass to the sterner but higher qualities that
make manhood what 1t Is. He Is self-evident In
his likes and dislikes His bark and his gIowl
and his bite are all open and undisguiscd,
His friendship is warm. patent. diseolvable only
by death Whereas the cat reflects that other
type. in which some cynics have put women as
sas, and which every oun rnifst recognize;
the type that purrs, whose arched back and
soft fur emit sparks when rubbed, whose pad
ded foot conceals the claw. who strikes always
from behind. and who hides with gurgle of
feigned emotion the spit of envy.
Cats and dogs are alike a part OF society. Peo-
pie have chung and will continue to cling TO
them as companions and associates. But ali
grounds, economic and otherwise. the exemp-
ton OF the cat from license found necessary
IN the case Of the dog should be done away
with. Whether as the most incorrigibe
ample of the double life" that nature affords.
or az the best carrier Of disease germs known
to science, the law owes 1t to itself to limit
cats to those examples OF the race for whose
menace and annoyance their owners arc willing
20 pay.
