No True Bills
For Failure
Pay Dog Tax

tFrom Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
The grand jury, which adjourned on
Saturday after being in session for
several weeks, returned no indict-
ments against those violating the
wheel and dog tax laws, but those
who have not paid these taxes have
been warned that they are liable to in
dictment. Since the announcement
to this effect, recently made by Attor-
ney General White, there has been a
rush to pay dog taxes, and the pay
ment of wheel tax has continued un-
abated. tt-t
Those who own dogs, and who have
not paid the tax on them, are warned
that failure to do so subjects them to
the penalty imposed by law, whether
they have been assessed or not. 1t
was impossible to secure a complete
list of all dogs of the county, in max
ing the assessment of property this
year, on account of the Inauguration
of the new tax law. which required
months Of extra labor on the part of
the assessor.
Those who have not paid this tax
before the meeting of the next grand
jury. will in all probability be indict-
ed for this offense.

With a brilliant array of legal tai

Minnie Pennington against the Farm
ers and Merchants Bank of Mt. Pleas
ant in which the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover $1,000 stolen from the bank
vault, was taken up in circuit court
this morning.
This is the first of nunbe. of sim

by the customers as the aftermath of
the robbery Of the defendant bank
early last spring. Customers are seek.
ing to recover several thousand dol
lars, alleged to have been stolen at
the time of the robbery, ard consider
able interest is being manifested in
the outcome Of the first trial.
Quite large number Of witnesses
are to be heard, and it is not expected
that the trial will be completed before
late Saturday afternoon.
Quite an intere sting legal question
remains to be decided in this case, and
it is expected that the liability of
banks for the safety of property of
customers, who have valuables stored
in the vault, will be determined.
1t will be argued by counsel for the
defendant that the bank, in permit
ting customers to deposit boxes in
the bank vault, is merely an act of
accommodation, and that the bank
cannot be held responsible for the
safety of valuables stored there by
customers.
The plaintiff will seek 20 establish
the liability of the bank for the safe
keeping of all valuables deposited in
the bank No question as to the liza
bility of the bank for contents of safe
ty deposit boxes will be raised. 1t
is commended that the only valuables
stolen from the bank by yegginen last
spring were from tin boxes, which
had been left in the vault by custo-

LIN o. ROOSEVELT.
IN SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
Declares That Gov. Cox Is Pre.eminent.
" Qualified In Spirit, Training and
Experience to Meet and Solve the
Problems of the Day.
(By United Press.)

HYDE PARK, N. Y. Aug. "a
greater America" nationally and inter.
nationally was the keynote of the
speech here today of Franklin d.
Roosevelt, in accepting the democrat.
ic nomination. for vice president.
Realization of added greatness for
America depends, Roosevelt said, on
the solving of two great problems by
the next national ADMINISTRATION
"our relations with the world and the
pressing need of organized progress
at home"
He declared Gov. Cox is pre-emi-
nently qualified in spirit, training and
experience to meet and solve these
problems properly, zone who can lead
this nation forward in an, unhalting
march of progress"
In world problems, Roosevelt de-
clared, I'VE must either shut our eyes,
build an impregnable wall of arma-
ments and live hermit nation, or we
must open our eyes and see that mod
ern civilization has become so COM
pick as to make it impossible to be
in this world and not of it,"
AS for home problems, he said, eve
have been awakened by this war into
startling realization of the archaic
shortcomings of our governmental ma
chinery, and of the need for the kind
of reorganization which only clear
thinking business man, experienced in
the technicalities of governmental
procedure can carry out. We need
to do things not to talk about them"
He appealed for fairness and gen.
erosity" in the campaign, declaring
that inasmuch as craftsmanship was
buried during the war 1t should not
now be revived in ancient bitterness.
The nominee asserted that the ma
ton knows that tho war has been only
half won until to the cry of the French
at Verdun they shall not pass" and
of the Americans in the Argonne, sWe
shall go through" are added the words
cit shall not occur again"
To this end, he said, the democrats
offer a peace treaty (which to make
it real treaty for real peace, must
include the league of nations
He urged that the American PEG
pie be dealt with without vengeance,
double dealing or equivocation" on
the league issue, and added:
THE league will not die. An idea
does not die which meets the call of
the hearts of our mothers"
Peace, he said, can't be declared by
congress, as war Is. He predicted
that soon the United States will take
its seat in the league.
Turning to domestic questions, to
which he devoted much of his speech,
Roosevelt outlined as vital needs the
following:
Bettering of citizenship through
elimination of illiteracy and strength
ening of immigration laws; improve
ment of working conditions, especial
ly in congested centers; protection of
child life and women in industry; ex-
tension of communications to make
rural life more attractive; develop
ment of national resources, reform of
government, by elimination of archaic
methods in congress and the admins
! trative branches of the government;
better pay for government employees,
with higher standard of efficiency.
