The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1919-06-13
Enforcing The Law

i admire the trainers of the dog law
in that respect. According to the ar
ticle in The Falcon some weeks ago,
they must execute the law or be guilty
of a misdemeanOr in office and there
fore may be removed. There IS .
business force to 1t.
So much time and moueyNis spent 10
making laws and after they are hnsi'y
gotten through are not executed II
would be a good. idea to spend that
time and money in executing laws lor
a while and let making them alone.
There are hubdIeos OF laws
barely known. A number of them are
MADE TO please the constituents aao
are not what they seem. One lepre'
senLauye's vile said to another "hi'e
in Nashville that she always helped her
husband frame his bills, that they must
seem to mean what the constituents
want and at the same time be con-
strued e. some other use or possibly De

The Tax Assessor sesms TO be carry
ing out the law. rne last report /
chancsd to hear was that he had not
gotten through with two districts and
mad collected $500 and killed 300 dogs.
He collected the tax or lett the DOG
dead. Therefore there will be more
food for the valuable pigs, less oreak-
ing up of nests of hens aud BIRDS
The Assessor charges 10 cents for
every dog he has TO shoot, so on his
rounds he came up on an honest "dar-
rev" who sa,d .'that dog aint woita a

he was soon out OF commission.
Now if that fine well kept dog, we

money collected as 1t goes to them.
This law carried out will do much

prohibition laws which protect US from
sin and vice in this world and help saw
