APPLYING AUTO TAX MONEY.
County Supervisors are Required by
Law to Apply all Money Raised
by Auto Tax on County Roads.

Decatur county has received
S3,942 Sc auto tax money and this
is to be expended for betterment of
roads in the county. A fact not gen.
orally known in this connection is
that every dollar of this sum must
be used on the country roads for
their improvement and not a penny
of it can legally be employed inside
the city limits OF Leon even though
the bulk of this money should be
collected from auto owners here. At
first glance it would seem that a por-
ton, at least, of the auto tax collect
ed from owners of machines living
within the city should be devoted to
improvements in the city as we'll as
the country, but state sOlons have
ruled otherwise and the Board OF
Supervisors has no option in the
matter. The share which the sew
eral counties of the state receive
from the tax is in the proportion
that the number of civil townships
in each county bear to the whole
number in the state. Decatur
county has sixteen such civil town
ships and it's share is somewhat
larger than in a number of other
couties in Iowa.
Only IS per cont. of the total
amount paid by the automobile own
ers is returned to the county, the
other fifteen per cent. being used to
buy the number plates and to pay
the expense of collecting the tax.
The money which each county re-
ceives must be entirely expended on
the country roads. The law provid-
ing that the money must be used
for the browning, draining, grading.
dragging, and matchmaking the
public highways outside of the cities
and for building cement or stone
culverts where such are necessary.
Leon possibly pays greater sum
Of money as automobile tax than
does the surrounding rural district,
but not cent of the money paid by
Leon owners of motor cars can be
used for street improvement in the
city. No doubt all automobile own
ers are willing that the money
should be spent in the country. The
greatest pleasure of automobiling
lies in spin over a good country
road and if the money raised for
the purpose of improving the
country highways is properly used.
city automobile drivers will have
no objection to the money being
spent where the law says it should

Sheep killing Dogs.
An Iowa subscriber writes:

An Iowa subscriber writes:
Il live on a farm adjoining town,
and, with other neighboring sheep
raisers, am troubled with dogs kill
ing my sheep. There are grey
hounds owned in this town that are
liberated frequently. These same
hounds have been caught repeatedly
killing sheep, even within the last
two days.
"They are so quick and quiet
that it is almost impossible to get
within shooting distance, even il
they are caught in the act.
: "This has been going on for over
about $500 for sheep killed in this
Immediate locality, and it is gener-
ally conceded that these hounds
have done the killing. The manner
of decorating and cutting the sleeps
Threats have been the same as
where it was known that the hounds
did it. Their owners have repeated
ly been notified of the doings of the
hounds, but they defy anyone to do
anything. What can be done?"
In case of this kind, it seems to
us that the practical thing to do is
to lay for the dogs and kill them
when they are at work. The law
justifies the killing of any dog
caught in the act of worrying a
domestic animal. The owners of
sheep in that neighborhood should
organize and take turns watching
until they catch the killers. 1t may
take a little time, but it ought to
prove effective. Farmer.
