NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. g, 1916.

Another vicious attack on q small child by dog draws attention to the fact that the dog ordinance Is being honored more in the breach than in any effort on the part of the authori- ties to enforce the dog ordinance il has not effected any appreciabie diminua. ton in the number of loose dogs to be seen around the streets Fortunately, accidents such as that occurring yes. terday are not common but, consider
 ing the number of animals that are around at all hours of the day and right, that they are not more frequent is probably attributable more to good luck than anything else. However much 1t may be argued that the nature of the wolf dog is changed through the admixture of the autside strain it is most certain that they lose but little of their wolflsh instincts
 Regardless of how much their disposi- ton may be altered in other respects
 they are quite as willing as their more savage progenitors to attack anything that is down and helpless The wolf instinct to leap upon the fallen victim IS plainly displayed both in work and play. The general disposition of the malamute may be improved by cross breeding but this inclination to jump upon anything that is down is display ed with too great frequence in dogs possessing but little of the wolf strain to lead to the belief that it has been eliminated by cross breeding to any particular degree. Time and again we nave witnessed attacks on human be- ings by animals that showed but little Of the wolf strain and in two instances within the past year have ourselves been attacked by animals in which the outside strain clearly predominated. In addition we have listened to numer. ous complaints from parties who had been attacked during the same period. There is little question that loose dogs are q menace, not only to children but also to adults and proper regard for safety demands that they be pre- vented from running loose. Yester- days incident was trifling compared to many of similar nature that have happened at intervals but it was, never the less, sufficiently serious to show that too much care cannot be taken to safeguard the public, and particu- iarly the children, from attacks.

THE INCOME TAX.

The new income tax law makes no changes in the tax upon annual in. comes under s5,O0oO, but on incomes above that figures the increase is from 10 10 per cent. Provisions is made in the law for federal inheritance tax on large estates, varying from per cent on q $50,000 estate to 5 Der cent on estates over s45O,0O0. The present desire of many American mu
 hilton manufacturers to retire from business is caused in a great measure, by the heavy tax imposed by the new law on net profits in that industry, varying from per cent on profits LID to $260,0o0 to per cent on annual profits in excess of a million dollars.
 Under the new law an income of oyer s2O,0O0 is penali2ed by surtax, Or extra tax over that placed upon the lower incomes. Thus, while a 320,000 to $4O,0O0 income pays 1 per cent tax, q s4O,ooo to s6o,OOO income pays 2 per cent and a s6O,oOO to s80,OOo in- comes pays per cent, increasing to

the limit of 10 per cent iu the case of all incomes over 350o.0oo. and l3
 cent on incomes of sa.oo0, 900 and over.
 Though questioned seriously as to it's legality for many years and once condemned by the supreme court of the United States, the principle is now
 acogniaed that a point may be reach-
 l in a citizens earning capacity where he receives more than he may
 e permitted to retain, and must dis tribute the excess in the channels of :irculation. It is 8 principle, also, that for the protection of his government and the enjoyment of it's institutions in proportion to the amount of income hat he receives.
 The cid idea about the equality of men has received severe jolt in the income tax law, It may be still said that men are created equal, and accu- mulate their points of difference with he varied progress of their fortunes and the varying degrees of intelll- gence that are utilized in the disposi- ton of their original capital of body and brain.--Seattle P.-I

THE HISTORY or -FOUR LITTLE

The reason I am going to tell YOU
about the robin is because ono built
its nest in the rose bush in our yard.
The robin got sticks and ella: to make
It's home. II seems TO mo that such
4 pretty bird with brown feathers and
red breast would want - finer home
than that, but as she is not going to
stay i'm II long, she thinks II urncccs-
sary to have nicer one. The father
bird does not help make tho nest.
wonder why? DO YOU think he is lazy?
don't think that is the reason for
ing TO feed the mother bird while she
is setting on tn. eggs? And there will
be some little birds To feed in week
or so. Yes, after all. tho father has
something TO do. i;Ut now q week has
passed. SO ] will see how many eggs
are In the nest. ! can sec "a little biz
OF the nest now. There can see all
Of II. and there are four little blue eggs
I'm II. The mother bird sat on the eggs
about week, and when ! looked In
there again SAW four little robins.
This is - busy time for the father bird.
FOR nc has four little hungry mouths
to feed The largest one OF tho little
birds Is trying TO crowd the others out.
He Is sitting on the top of the nest.
Oh, hr has fallen OF. must pick him

Ny four little birds must try and try.
For II you don't YOU cannot ny.
