Sheriff After
Licenseless
Dogs Of Polk

Dallas, Or, Dec. 22.-The leg
1slative enactment Of 1919 where
In chapter 1856 provides for the Ii
censing of dogs is causing some
concern in Polk county, In 1920
there were SAG who paid the Ii
cense fee and the sheriff sent out
many notices requesting the own
ers OF dogs to pay the license with
out any compulsion on his part,
but the request was not responded
to, So this year he stated that he
would arrest all dog owners who
did not pay the fee, yet only 06S
have answered to, date and the law
requires the paying of the fee dur
ing the month Of January. Re-
Gently he checked all the owners
by the assessment roll and last
year license list and began cam
paign by mail which brought many
owners into the clerks office, but
several hundred failed to respond
resulting in the issuing of AZ war
rants for the arrest of dog own
ers in Dallas and about 25 in IN
dependence yesterday and today
the district attorney, j, N. Hell
gerson, says he will issue about as
many more. The law carries fine
OF $40 for failure to procure The
license besides costs Of the action
which will be in the aggregate o.
about $14 for each delinquent
who is summoned to appear.
1t is estimated that there arc
about 1900 dogs in the county ant
the sheriff says he will enforce
the law in all cases which come
to his attention. Two deputies are
now working on the matter anG

few days serving papers. The law
was questioned in Marion and i.

determine its legality as most all
people contend that it is double
taxation. If such is decided the
next question which will arise in
Polk county will be in regards tc
the refunding of the license money
collected.
Most of the money has been
spent in paying claims by owners
OF sheep that have been killed by
dogs and further the expense Of
purchasing license material, rec
ord books and collars which are
given at the time the license II
purchased amount to about As

season Galesburg whipped Moline
by the score of 1912. The 'Swedes"
outplayed the Galesburg tossers
the whole first half and the half
time found them in the lead. In
the last period the Moliners went

to win. AS the Islanders complete

Why, queries correspondent,
should professional fighters be so
much better paid for their services
than other pro athletes, such as
wrestlers. ball players. etc? Do
they work any harder? Does their
game require more intelligence,
skill. or anything else that it should
remunerate them so handsomely in
comparison"
That's a difficult, vexing ques-
ton. But the answer is: Boxing
is the best selling proposition to
be found in the professional sport
market today. AS an article of
commerce, q commodity. it is not
to be likened to wrestling or even
baseball, any more than Standard
Oil to Bird Center Whittle Sticks.
