In the current issue Of the Lawrence
democrat, Attorney General Looney
Il. White has signed statement In
which he solemnly warns the I dog
owners Of Lawrencel celnty that he
win present and have indicted all who
have not paid their taxes when the

signed statement Mr. White Says?
1.-The law will be rigidly enforced
and all persons who have not paid
when the grand jury meets will be
subjected to Indictment and will be
indicted The county tax assessor
must furnish to the grand judy his
list of all dog owners in the county
and also list Of those who have not
paid their dog taxes, SO that it will
he easy for the grand jury to return
indictments against all who do not
obey this law"
While in Columbia Gen. White an
nounced the same policy to be applied
10 Maury county so that it will be the
part of wisdom for the dog OWNERS of

@ Superintendent Jonas Erwin, of the
county poor farm, has tthirty-three
acres of corn that puts to shame any
other corn in the state. The corn is
so rank, Mr.. Erwin states, that il he
cuts it he will have to use an axe and
ii is so thick tina there is not room
enough to handle an instrument of
this kind. Should he gather 1t in the
field it will be necessary to use lad
ders and no wagon and team in this
country can penetrate the field to
haul it out. Mr.. Erwin has about
reached the conclusion that it will be
necessary to secure an army tank in
order to break down the stalks and
harvest the crop. Shocking the crop
even then is out of the question since
he would have to encroach upon the
land of his :neighbors in order to get
the necessary room.

Tell The Truth To The Pret- ty Girl Or The Man Who Starts Today To Gather Needed Information For Uncle Sam
Arc you married or single ?"

Of course. when can expect this sort of thing now that it is leap year, and | it is a safe bet that not man in the United States will escape this ques- ton. When you arrive at your office some morning a pretty young girl might come tripping in and pop the question She might give you be- witching smile and ask you if you have succumbed to the magic influence of Cupid's darts, or perhaps it will fall to your lot to be approached by a busfness1ike woman, who will put the matter in a brisk, businesslike way. Another guess is that it might be a man who as man tO man asks: Are you married?' And, fellows, you have to tell the truth. There's no getting away from it, for there are dire penalties attached to the crime of falsifying government records.
 Yes, yes, and
 Start Out Today The census taking started officially yesterday although really now today the actual work begins when the 'enu- merator" starts to make the rounds and asks you the date of your birth. and everything
 While the men may not care to admit their marriage or state that they are bachelors-still, look what the women have to tell. They have to give the year of their birth-the real one.
 Sam B. Bradner, supervisor of cen sus for this district, states that there must be no side-stepping, no forgetting of the borthdtys that have come and gone.
 "The date of birth must correspond with the age in years at the last birth day" he says very seriously.
 Census Man Can't Tell
 No matter what one reveals to the census taker, whether it is how many establishments one is maintaining. the number of automobiles he owns or anything, it will not affect his income tax, for the internal revenue depart meth does not have access to the rec ords of the officials. Neither does the chamber Nf commerce nor the newspapers.
 It is all a deadly secret-strictly con- fidential The enumerator is placed under oath, and if a word is revealed he is hung or something.

STATE NOT LIABLE FUR OFFICERS WRONGS |S CLAIMED IN SUIT

Hard sledding is ahead for all att torneys who have suits in court against the state for damages sus- tained by alleged negligence. accord ing to Louis B. Whitney. deputy at torney general. He has brought out a point in the Hattie A. Dart suit that is similar to his now famous con- tention in the case of Claude Sharp that recently attracted attention throughout the state.
 The Dart case was filed December z, 1917, and an amended answer to 1t was filed by Whitney yesterday. It is claimed that a bridge near Florence. alleged to have been built negligently and unskillfully, caused debris to pile up on the land of Matte A. Dart in such a manner that much of the land eventually was washed away by the river The plaintiff asks for damages in the amount of $9,625.
 In his amended answer Whitney asks for a motion to strike the com plaint from the files on the ground that the building of the bridge con- stituted state governmental work for

which the state cannot be held ac- countable to the acts of it's officers.
 This contention is similar to that in the Claude B. Sharp case that now is pending before the supreme court. ir which Whitney took the position that ''the state is not liable for the torts of its officers, agents and servants such as their negligent acts, resulting in personal injuries to one of the states employees, in the absence of a statute clearly and in express terms assuming such liability. There is nc such statute in Arizona"
