ONCE WAS ENOUGH.
City Dog Catcher Refused to Kill Ca.
mines Twin.

William Core. cOlOred, Topeka's dog
officer, has always been regarded as a
man fearless in the discharge of his
duties. No dog has ever been encoun-
tered by Core that was too fierce. He
never has been known to retreat when
he attempted the capture of a unli-
censed canine.
But Core has met his undOing.
A few days ago man owning two
bird dogs and not wishing to pay the
license on them. left them at the city
pound to await execution. Co.e was
away at the time. The dogs were as
much alike as any two peas. Before
Core arrived a farmer went to the
pound in search of a dog to take to his
farm in the country. He secured one
of the doubles. Later the other waa
put to death by Core.
In a few days the dog taken to the
country returned to the city and was
again placed in the pound and the dog
officer was called for its execution.
Core took hard look at the dog and
his eyes bulged out.
II killed that dawg once" de-
clared Core tremblingly. Yes. sir
got witnesses to prove it and 1 amt
goin' to kill that dawg again. Once is
enough for any dawg to be killed."

tiff places upon a blooded brood mare
which the humane officer put to death.
According to Saddlemire, the mare
which was a full b1ooded Percheron,
and only ten years old, went astray.
The horse had recently been nursed
through a sickness caused by water
laundering which produced sores and
reduced the animal to a very thin con-
dition. 1t Is presumed that the humane
officer concluded that the animal had
been abandoned as worthless by its
owner.

RAISE income TAX
war Measure WIN Hit Incomes
of $1,000 and Over.
Wines, Beers and Malt Liquors
VIII Boost Revenue.

washington, Sept. 9.-Democratfc
members of the house ways ana
means committee who are drafting
the war revenue bill. having tentative
ly agreed upon an increase of the In
come tax, 1t only remained today to
whip the measure into shape. That
probably will be undertaken when the
committee again meets tomorrow, ana
Chairman Underwood hopes to have
the bill ready for presentation to the
house the latter part Of the week.
The committee tentatively decided
upon an income tax increase of one
half of one per cent and a reduction
of the minimum exemption from
50, 900 to $4,000 and the maximum ex-
emption from 81, 900 to $4,000. Under
this proposal, 1t Is expected that at
least $35, 100000 of the $100.0O0,OOO
required to meet the estimated deficit
due to falling of in customs receipts
will be raised.
Also Tax Liquors.
Under the proposed changes. the tax
would be one and one-haf per cent
on incomes of single persons in excess
of $4,000 and the same on married
persons in excess of $4,000. This
would be in addition to the surtax on
incomes in excess of $4,000 now inn
posed.
IL also was agreed 10 Tx an IN
creased tax on beer and malt liquors
at SO cents q barrel That would
bring in $35,OOO,0OO. The committee
decided upon an extra levy of cents
Ia gallon on domestic wines. bringing
in $1O,OOO.OOO.
Proposals to levy an additional tax
of rs cents and Is cents a gallon on
distilled spirits was defeated, but 1t
was decided to tax rectified spirits two
cents a gallon. bringing in $2,0O0.OOO.
The committee is understood to have
agreed tentatively on two per cent
tax on railroad freight in lieu of a
tax on railroad tickets. Tobacco prod
ucts, automobiles. gasoline, amuse-
ment tickets, magazines and numer-
Gus other articles and commodities
will not be taxed. That was made
unnecessary because of the increased
income tax.
President Wilson opposes an in
crease in the income tax as part of the
progra m for raising additional revenue
for the government.
House Leader Underwood, Chairman
Simmons of the senate finance commit
tee. and Chairman Fitzgerald Of the
house appropriation committee con-
ferred with the president today and
were told that in his opinion an in
crease in income tax would not be suit
able in the emergency because no re-
turns would be realized until next year
In his message to congress on the sub
ject the president asked that sources
of revenue be selected which would
respond quickly.
