THE DOG TAX

1t is a noticeable fact that the
dog law enacted by the Legislature
OF 1919 has already improved the
sheep industry of Morgan County,
1t can be easily seen that the farm
ers OF the western part of the cOun-
. ty have been greatly benefited by
this law One can often hear the re-
mark: You can see so many more
sheep grazing on the free range now
than a year or two ago." and The
scarcity Of dogs is noticeable TO a
mark degree.
You can see three sheep now,
where you could see only one before
This is evidence in favor of the dog
law that cannot be contradicted,
Sheep add to the wealth of the coun-
Ity, and the greater the number of
sheep, the greater the wealth of the
county. For the life OF us we can
not under stand how any one can
be against the dog tax when the re-
suit Of this tax has Been such
great benefit to the county,
We are not against the dog but
We think, that if a dog is worth anv
thing at all he is certainly worth
dollar q year. And again since the
money from this tax goes for such
a good purpose, it is a strong point
in favor Of the law.
There is no question in our mind
but that this tax is d stimulus to
the farmers Of the state and espec-
tally to the farmers Of Morg Il
County along the line Of sheep rails
ing. Heretofore farmers were Ioath
to invest in the sheep business be-
cause of the sheep killing dog.
This danger is passed since the far
mer who has sheep killed by doge
know he wilj getpav for tham.

STRENGTH OF N. P. /. NOT
APPARENT AT PRIMARIES
Tuesdays Vote Does Not Indicate
That Any Great Number Stayed
Away From Polls.

If Benton county's vote at Tues.
days primary indicates anything, il
indicates that the strength of the
nonpartisan league is not as great in
this county as it has been rated. To
all appearances Tuesdays vote was
normal. There is nothing to indicate
that the nonpartisan leaguers stayed
away from the polls in any great
number. If they voted in any great
numbers they must have voted as did
the most Of the regular republicans.
In 1916 the republican vote in this
county at the primaries was 100. Two
years ago when there were no contests
of especial interest the republican vote
dropped to about 1400. Tuesday there
were in the neighborhood of 1900 re-
publican votes cast. Of this number
Lamping, the one candidate for gov
ernor who might have been expected
to receive the farmer-labor vote, re-

assailed throughout the state by the
farmer-labor element, received three
times the combined vote of his three

NASH CAR AND
GARAGE BURNS
Fire Is Discovered at Frazier
Home on the Highlands
Wednesday Morning.

The garage and new Nash tourins
car of w. M. Frazier of the Highland:
were totally destroyed by fire at az
early hour Wednesday morning. The
Frazier family were awakened by the
flames about 2 o'clock but the fire had
gained such headway that all efforts
to save either the garage or its con.
tents were useless.
Word of the fire was telephoned to
town and a number of election return
watchers hurried to the Frazier home
but the fire which at one time threat
ened the dwelling house was under
control before they arrived.
Owing to the complete destruction
of the car it is thought the fire must
have originated from short circuit.
This theory is strengthened by the fact
that when Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Yost
returned home at IL o'clock they saw
a light in the Frazier garage, Mr..
Frazier had put his car up at noon
Tuesday and no member Of the family
was in the garage after that hour.
The car, which had been purchased
less than two months ago, was only
partially insured and there was no in
surance on the garage.
