BIG RUSH TO PAY
DOG LICENSE TAX
BEFORE JURORS ACT
NUMBER OF OWNERS AT CIRCUIT
CLERKS OFFICE ON
MONDAY.
MORE SAY they ARE COMING
Recent Publications In The Herald
Have Resulted in Bringing Matter
To Attention Of PeopIe-Judge Tur.
ners Charge.

Circuit Clerk Hays and Deputy
Witherspoon had busy day of it
Monday. With circuit court in session
and the owners of dogs anxious to get
in out of the weather with their dog
taxes before the grand jury began to
grind they were up against it all day.
Dog owners began to arrive early
and they stayed late. There were
about thirty-five of them to register
and describe their female dogs during
the day. Since the agitation for the
collection of the dog tax commenced
about 140 owners have liquidated to
the amount of three dollars with the
clerk and many more have telephoned
and verbally sent word that they "are
on the way" to attend to this pleasing
task.
There is no question about the val
ue of publicity" said Col. w. o. With
lerspOon, deputy clerk, this morning.
For years no one had offered to pay
this dog tax, but as soon as The Her.
aid began to give publicity to it, to
emphasize the warning of Attorney
General Frierson and to call attention
to the provisions of the law every
week or two we have had pretty
good rush. If you want to get any
thing to the people of Maury county ]
can truthfully say from experience
that publication in The Herald will
be mighty effective.
Folks are still coming to pay this
dog tax and / am sure that Judge
Turner's charge to the grand jury
published in The Herald on Monday
will further call attention to the law

NATIONAL SAFETY
 QUOTIFIES THE DRAFT. So Says Publicity Chairman of State
 Defense Council.

"Just as property is drafted by means of taxes, young men, mem bers of a free people, may be drafted in time of need" says George B. Chandler chairman of the publicity committee of the Connecticut state council of defense in answer to the question, Why do we raise our army by conscription? MT. Chandler's S statement follows:
 Young men, your country has laid it's heavy hand upon you and bade you go out and fight. Why is it that you a member of a free peo- pie can thus be drafted into war without your will or consent? For the same reason that property of a free people is drafted for taxes-because it is necessa-.- for national existence. Property is ted every year; man. hood may not be drafted more than once in 130 years; but the principle involved in the two processes is ex actly the same.
 "A nation cannot live without taxes It has to have funds to carry on it's affairs Neither can a nation live in the present state of the world, at least-without fighting. It cannot stay at one side' mind it's own business and be let alone. Belgium tried it and she has been assassinated. For two years and a half the United States tried it and submitted to a series of affronts. outrages and murders such
 
 in modern history. The time comes when nation must fight or perish.
 Do you owe anything to your country that gives it a moral right to order you into battle? Let us see.
 Your country protects your life. If you are assaulted on the street, policeman comes to your rescue. If you are attacked on the high sea by a submarine while going on your own business where you have a right to go, your country goes to war for you.
 Your country protects your prop erty. If robber breaks into your home, the force of the state seek to locate and punish him. If a fire breaks out in your city, the fire department comes to your aid. If man tries to deprieVe you of what you have earned and saved, the courts of your country are open to you.
 Your country protects your fam fly. When you are at your bench or desk, your mother. wife, sister or chill dren are being watched over by the state. When they go upon the street or highway, or other proper places, the law and it's agents say that they shall be protected and you feel safe because you know il.
 Your country takes care of the unfortunate. If one of your family
Norwich bulletin., 1917-08-25

becomes insane, the state provides an institution for his care. If one of your Erelatives becomes poor and you cannot care for him, the state does it for you.
 Your country educates you. If you wish to use them, your country pro- vides schools from pblic funds. fl you wish to be educated in private or church schools, the state charters or safeguards them.
 Your country makes civilization possible-by building or chartering roads for men to travel on and to transport goods over; by establishing courts of justice; by chartertng en- dowed colleges, libraries and art museums; by esta ablishing ambassa- dorships and consulates. entering into plane of friendship with every nation that is willing 10 be friendly with it. This Is what civilization means.
 Young man you can't be cit izen of this country and a Pro-Ger- man at the same time when Your country is at war with Germany. IL isn't Germany that has been pro- tecting you in your rights. Germany hasn't been doing all these things for you. It is your own nation America! If you accept this pro tection from the United States and the ngive your heart to some other counry, you are a cheat and an in grate. Those Wi. ride in the boat must pun an oar or Jump out. II you didn't like the boat, you didn't have to get into it.
 'The same principle applies to 'Elngla nd -haters.' England France and the other allies are all trying to weather the storm. The craft didn't intend to submit to ma joritE rule of he crew under the command of duly elected officers you should never have put to sea on the old L. s. A. There is nothing hnespun or philosophical about this. II is just every day honesty. ordinary decency and plain common sense.
 Your country drafts you because it has a legal and moral right to. You have no legal or moral right to hang back or sulk. or dodge. You can't talk back to Uncle Sam at this stage of the game. A nation at war is not a debating club. IL is grim business-an organized people fight ing for it's life. The rules are laid down. the gong has rung, play is called. the teams are on the field; play your part like sportsman and thor ouGhbred as well as an American!"
