TAGS GOING OUT SLOWLY.
City Clerk Gets But 81 Applications
For Dog Licenses in Two Weeks.

Dog owners in Kenosha are showing
no desire to hurry to insure their ca
mines against the incarceration in the
dog pound or slaughter and but ninety
one of tle more than thousand dog
owners in the city have filed applica-
tions for tags at the office of the city
clerk. The taxes are now nearly two
weeks over due and already the police
have picked up number of untagged
dogs and slaughtered them. The police
officers are making visits to many plac-
es in the city with view of collecting
the taxes but the people are given to
understand that these visits are not
demanded by law. The city has been
divided into districts for the visit of
the police and if the tags are not pur-
chased before the end of the week the
wholesale slaughter of the dogs will be
ordered

LOW WAGE SET BY STATE BOARD
President James o. Davidson Notifies
Chairman of County Board That Con
victs May Work on Roads Of Ke-
nosha County at $3.50 Per Day.

Chairman John P. Spartz of the Ke-
nosha County board today received a
letter from President James O. David
son of the State Board of Control an
nouncing that Kenosha county would
be permitted to employ convicts for
road building during the coming build
ing season of 1916 Under the offer
the State Board Of Control will furnish
convict labor for roads in the county
at a cost of $3.50 a day with the under
standing that the state will look after
the board and rooming Of the prisoners
and the county will be called on to
furnish materials for road work The
Kenosha County Board is urged to take
up the matter of employing this labor
of the state at it's regular meeting to
be held in November. If the Kenosha
County board decides to accept the
proposition the convict labor will be
available early in the coming season.
Provision for such employment of con-
victs is made by law passed at the
last session of the legislature.
The wage at which this work is of
fered to the county is considerable
less than is now being paid for road
work and it is certain that the employ
ment Of these men will be one of the
big matters for discussion before the
coming session Of the board. The Coun-
ty board has always shown a willing
ness to be frugal and the reduction of
the cost Of road building with convict
labor would be considerable one. It
is certain that there will be a storm of
opposition against the proposition and
this opposition is expected to be espe-
cially strong in the city. Just how the
people of the rural towns look at the
matter will, however, go a long way
toward directing the sentiment Of the
county board members.
In his letter to the chairman former
Governor Davidson now head of the
State Board of Control says:
The board believes that it can with
advantage to the state and with advan-
tage to the counties and towns furnish
such labor at $3.50 day, ten hours to
constitute day s labor. Ii this is not
satisfactory to the counties the board
will take contracts for construction of
highways at q. price per yard, and we
believe that we can take !, at a price
less per yard than any contractor.
!" IL this board can interest the diff
ferent county boards Of the state in
this proposition, it will see to it that
convicts who are thus employed are
properly safeguarded and that no COM
munity into which they are sent will be
in any peril on account Of their pres
ence ins such community. The convicts
who will be placed out will be dressed
in khaki suits and they will not have
the appearance of convicts.

Weed Cutting Dates Earlier

The Iowa weed law as amend
ed by the Thirty-sixth General
Assembly places the final limit
on weed cutting August l, two
weeks earlier than formerly.
Weeds must be cut between
July / and August 1. Former
~ the dates were July 18th to
August Is. The change to the
earlier dates was made because
it was found that the seeds of
many noxious weeks were so
far matured by August Is that
cutting on that date was of lit
tie or no value in preventing
the spread of the weeds.
The land owner or the occu-
pant of the land is responsible
for the destruction of all weeds
on his land or on the highways
adjoining. The township trusts
ees and the road officials are
responsible If the land owner
or the occupant neglects b s
duty. The trustee and the
road official who neglects or
fails to perform his duty under
the weed law may be charged
with misdemeanor and is pun
ishable by a fine not exceeding
500. Where the land owners
or occupants refuse to cut the
weeds the law authorizes the
trustees and county authorities
to cut the weeds and charge
the expense against the prop
erty.

Auto Thieves Busy

4 Auto thieves were working
i here last night and but for luck
they would have secured two
cars. When DR.. Hugh Tamisiea
went to his garage this morn
ing he was astonished to fine
the door open and his car gone
He Immediately started out TO
look for it and was very much
relieved when he found the car
two blocks west on the corner
of First and Superior. Upon
examination it was found that
whoever took the car knew
very little about it as they had
evidently forgotten topump up
the air and then when the car
refused to go further, after
, using up all the gas in the car
burator, they had turned off
the gasoline thinking they were
4 turning it on. They had also
ReXhausted the storage battery
trying to get the car started
which was impossible with the
gas shut off. They evidently
were going to Sioux City as
the car was headed out on that
road.
Some time during the night
thieves cut the lock from the
R c. Hills garage and opened
the doors but luckily the car
was at the Fo0te & Sahn gar
age having an adjustment
made and was not taken home
last night. Whether both
pieces of work were done by
the same party is unknown but
it the intention was merely to
take a joy ride by some of the
local talent, we would advise
them to hire a jitney before
something happens.
