Gnmc-ISiIIinS Dogs.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--'rhe bear story In the columns
of your paper of January % applies
very we'll to the game laws recently
passed by our Legis!a ture. The mink,
fox. hawk and owl are the fly: the law
is the rock; the Legislature is the huge
bear that losses the rock; we. the poor
farmers. that work to feed the game,
are the ones who get their faces
smashed. The mink. fox, hawk and owl
hunt 800 days In every year. and so
does the dog. The dog Is allowed to
run at large all the raising season and
kills more game in one nest he finds
than the average. man will kill in two
days, with his luck with him. The
law should compel every man TO keep
his dog pcnned or confined in some
way from April ] TO October Is. IT
should make him pay taxes, on his dog
and when he gives In his list take the
portion Of this tax'that may BIO neces-
sary and pay n bounty on the scalp Of
roaming dogs year In and year out.
This would induce people to kin. trap
or catch those that otherwise would be
passed unnoticed. Then there will be
enough game to allow the man to take
n shot now and then In tho winter
months when he can get time TO take q
stroll. w. II. BRADSHAW.

NOT A EI,I bill.

Tho time has come to acquaint our
readers and our contemporaries with
| the remarkable evisccrntion or tho
West foe bill In Its original form
this was q most commendoble measure
which tho press OF the State, during
years OF controversy. has stcadfnstly
been clamorinS But when IL came
from committee this bin had been SO
changed that It's patron would scarcely
have known II. Reasonable allowances
had been greatly increased. the opcr-
alton Of tho law had been restricted
It's teeth had boon drawn. It was
then placed on the calendar and, since
that time has been seriously debated.
To-day 4; will probably come UP on
It's third reading.
AS amended by tho Senate. tho bill
IS fun OF surprises. Senator Vests
plan was to fix tho compensation OF
the officer according to the population
of tho county or city lie servcd-a
very good theory upon which to build.
provided always that a classification be
made of tho various officers whose sal
aries arc TO he prescribed.
But what has been tho effect OF the
amendments proposed by the Senate?
We nro told that no county clerk, treas
urcr, commissioner or the revenue,
sheriff high constable or city sergeant
shall receive more than a specified
scale of remuneration. In cities Of
$4,000 population and moro. tho maxi
mum return Is 10 be $500; In cities
OF $4,000 TO $4,000 the salary from fees
is To be $500: III citlos OF 10000 to
$4,000, the officer may not receive more
than $4,000, while In cities OF 1900
TO 10000. the allowance is TO be $4,000
In the counties. the maximum allow
ance Is $1,000, where the populati
is $4,000 or more: In those ranging
from $4,000 TO $4,000, the salary must
not exceed $4,000: In counties with
more than $4,000 and less than $4,000.
no officer may receive more than $4,000
officers in cities OF less than 10, 900
and in counties of less than 5000 pop
ulation are exempted from tho bill.
This seems fair enough on it's face,

of the amended bill appears: only four

When the proposed compensation Of
tho officers in tho fourteen counties
