circulated by the Kansas Dog Protec-
ton association against what is styled
triple taxation of dogs. He is well
known as an orator and his effort in
defense Of the dogs of the city was up
to his reputation.
Instead of laws exacting a triple
tribute on dogs he declared the city
should pass an ordinance requiring all
owners Of dogs to give their animals
proper care and attention.
The petition which he presented. he
said, was 127 feet long, and contained
the signatures of $500 voters. and that
every prominent citizen in Topeka and
three-flfths of the taxable wealth of
the city was represented.
He expressed it as his opinion that
the state law did not apply to dogs
owned in cities, and that the city had

as it always had, but that the city
