PROVIDED FOR DOGS

CANNES permitted by their owners
to wander the streets without license
tags or muzsles will have a nice, new
death chamber equipped for their
special use at the new dog pound.
Police Commissioner Croul called on
Controller Heineman, Thursday, to
see about II. Mr.. Croul arranged for
the transfer of $500 from the general
fund with the approval OF the coun-
Gil.
The sum OF $4,000 was appropriated
and has been spent on n new dos
pound. But the old death chamber
was found to be obsolete. The dogs
are put to death by means OF gas. and

were being \snuffed out by slow de
grees, the animals without, which the
officers wanted to keep temporarily
for identification. were In danger Of
being asphyxiated. The new death
chamber will be OF the very --latest

Party Platform and Nation
al Health Service

The trainers of the platform of the
Republican National Convention did
not see fit to make any definite dec
laration on the subject of national
bureau or Department of Health. For
this omission there are two possible
explanations: Either they did not
consider the subject of sufficient i'm
portance to be worthy of mention, or
they feared the antagonism of the
interests and sects which, either
through selfishness or ignorance,
have opposed this measure. On the
contrary, the trainers of the plat
form for the Democratic party placed
in it a strong and comprehensive
endorsement of a national health
service. The plank is straightfor-
ward endorsement of the principles of
the present Owen bill 1t reads:
eve affirm our previous declara-
tions advocating the union and
strengthening of the various govern
mental agencies relating to pure
foods, quarantine, vital statistics
and human health. Thus united
and administered without partial
ity to or discrimination against any
school of medicine or system OF
healing, they would constitute a sim
gle health service, not subordinated
to any commercial or financial inter-
ests, but devoted exclusively to the
conservation of human life and eff
cheney. Moreover, this health SER
vice should cooperate with the
health agencies of our various states
and cities without interference with
their prerogatiyes or with the free
dom of individuals to employ such
medical or hygienic aid as they may
see fit"
There is nothing vague about this;
it is concise and straightforward,
with no attempt at ambiguity.

Run the Steam Roller Over
the Track BUYER

Now that this country has good
crop of wheat there Is talk OF track
buyers coming here to engage in bust
ness, but last year when we had no
crop they gave Liberal the goodbye.
We have three elevators In Liberal
and last year they paid their taxes
even though there was no business
for them. They will pay taxes again
this year and we are of the opinion
tnat they should be protected so long
as they conduct the business In
legitimate manner. 1t should be
looked after by the proper author
tiles and these track buyers and
Scoopers should be made to pay a IL
cense TO come here and 10 business.
This is especially true when our home
people have spent thousands Of dol
lars t. build elevators to take care of
the trade along this line, and who
stay here and pay taxes to, keep up
the institutions OF the city and county
whether crop Is raised or not. Let
US be far In the matter, but 1t seems

we protect our home industries to all
