MORE THAN 500
GIVEN PARDONs
BY GOV. MORROW
Kentuckians Are Indicted for
Failing to Pay Dog Tax;
Detroit is Building a
Municipal Garage.
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago, July 8 (by the Assoei-
ated Press.)-Governor Edwin T.
Morrow of Kentucky has pardoned
more than 600 persons indicted on
the charge of failure to pay dog
tax. The pardons were conditional
on the payment of the tax.
Governor Morrow is n lover OF
the dog. During his campaign of
1919 "Old Ring" figured promi-
nently in his speeches. At the last
session of the general assembly he
was called upon loosely for an ad-
dress on "Old Ring" He respond
ed, and before he had finished he
had swung a hostile democratic
house of representatives into line
to pass a bill repeating the state
law under which dogs are taxed
for the benefit of persons whose
livestock may be killed by canine
marauders.
The senate, however, refused to
vote on the bill to repeal, and the
act remained on the statute books.
Since then county attorneys have
become more active in its en-
forcement, and have indicted hun
dreds of persons, charging failure
to pay. They reckoned without the
governor as friend of "Old Ring"
and his owner.
Three hundred and ten persons
in Russell county were first to re-
ceive the pardon; then $40 were
pardoned in Monroe county. The
governor said that owing to the
publicity given the efforts to repeal
the law, many people believed it
was no longer in effect. that others
are so poor that 81 means food for
several days; and that furthermore
the law was needless, provided lit
tie revenue and meant little. He
added, however, that as long as
it was a law the fees must be paid,
and he admonished the indicted
persons to pay and avoid penalties,
which run up to $40.
William Carter, alias William
Burns, up for sentence for forgery
at Lacrosse, Wis, was questioned
in the district court about his past
life. His record seemed clean up
to the time of the forgery, until he
quietly remarked:
1.-THE last job I did was at bank
at Black River Falls, Wis"
The auditors in the court room
leaned forward with renewed in
terest. The judge looked grave.
What kind of job?" the judge
asked sternly. -
Carter replied meekly, IT clean
ed the bank chimney"
