The Dog Tax

County Assessor S. +. Crawford has
set iD motion machinery for collecting
the deg taxes 10 every part of this
county for the present year. Until the
legislature adjourned it wss unsettled
as to what might be done with the law,
but few days before adjournment
the legislature amended the law so that
it does not apply to certain counties in
Middle and East Tennessee. leaving it
in force in Fayette and most other
West Tennessee counties.
MIR. Crawford has appointed L. N.
Carter as an assistant in the collection
of these taxes and Mr.. Carter will col
lect in Districts liz, 3, A. 5, z, Is, He
has made bond for the faithful per-
formance of his official duties and be-
gan the first Of the present week col
lection of the dog taxes. He proposes.
he tells US, to visit every home in the
districts named TO ascertain II dogs are
owned and to collect the taxes from
every one without favor. If this is done
as promised mighty few people will OBJ
ject to the law.
The collector collects from those
willing to pay and IL those who do not pay
him have not paid in 30 days they are
subject to fine of $40 to $50 when
summoned before. a Justice of the
Peace for trial. And the collector g
duty Is to swear out warrants for those
not paying the taxes,
The objection to the tax that has
been heard was based upon the unequal
enforcement Of the law, making one
man pay and letting another man es-
cape. Mr.. Crawford and Mr.. Carter
promise strict and fair enforcement Of
the law upon all alike.

Richard Burton. former resi-
dent Of Salem, whose association
with Miss Myrtle Ennis, 15-year-
old Salem girl, yesterday caused a
grave statutory charge to be filed
against him, will enter his plea
in the justice court tomorrow
morning. Arraigned this morning
before Judge unruh in the justice
court, Burton's request for "a
hours in which to consider his
plea, was granted.
Burton, who was arrested yes

the attention of officers during the

who eloped with the Rev. Fred
Royston, Salem minister, was in
Jail here. At that time, officers

Bond Interest
Costs 'T'axPayers
$6,42O,0OO

8 The taxpayers of Oregon must
offer up approximately So, ,420, 0,000I
as interest on the states, counties
and municipal subdivisions in
debtedness reported at $107, ,400,-
593, according to an estimate
made this morning by James Craw-
ford, deputy state treasurer,
What these figures-admittedly
staggering-mean, is perhaps best
shown by comparison with the
general fund appropriation, made
by the last legislature, to cover
the biennial period of 1921 and
1929.
Only $7,294,735 was appropri-
ated by the Legislators for the
two years, according to figures
available in the secretary of states
office.
This would mean that approxi-
mately $3,647,367 is needed for
the states business during one 12-
months period.
In other words, the people of
Oregon are paying approximately
$2,772,633 more in interest on
their combined state debts than
they put into the general fund
which provides for Oregon's vari-
Gus activities.
State officials were this morn
ing speculating as to a remedy.
There seems to be but one an
swer," Deputy Treasurer Crawford
observed. "Quit voting bonds. II
is obvious that an organization OF
any kind cannot vote bonds, and
subsequently vote more bonds te
pay the interest on the first issue
1t must stop somewhere. Appar-
emily the bond voters must quit
until they can catch up with the
hounds"

Mt. Angel
Sued For
$4,000

Suit for $4,000 damages was
filed against the city Of Mt. Angel
in the circuit court by Clara B.
Hougham, who with Matfn Horst,
owner of a ranch near that city.
filed a second complaint asking for
an injunction prohibiting the use
of a certain stream which runs
through the farms Of both plain
tiffs as the terminals for sewers.
In the Hougham complaint it is
stated that the city of Mt. Angel
constructed sewer in 1918 for
the purpose of carrying off the
Surface water from the streets and
the sewage from private residents
to the stream having its source on
the Horst ranch and running
through that of Mrs. Hougham.
The stream was used by the
plaintiff to water her stock and
was not in the corporate limits of
Mt. Angel. but with the continued
use by the city the water Of the
stream has become. polluted until
it has endangered the condition OF
the cattle belonging to Mrs.
Hougham and the health of the
families residing near it.
The plaintiff further claims that
because the stream is not within
the city limits of Mt. Angel that
it's use as an emptying place for
sewers is unwarranted and unlaw-
full, furthermore, that it is not
wide or deep enough to be used for
that purpose.
