Dog Tax Delinquents

Less than ten per cent Of the dogs
listed by the Tax Commissioner has
been tax paid and up TO this time no
apparent effort has been made by any
one to collect this tax which is due,
just and unpaid.
The county tax commissioner re-
ported / 642 dogs listed for license
and only 1853 have paid the fee and
secured the license tags. The eoun-
~ court clerk reports that there is
1858 IL due sheep owners for sheep
killed by these worthless dogs, and
not a cent in the treasury. The OBJ
jeet Of the dog law was to reimburse
the farmer for sheep killed By dogs,
but unless the officer whose duty il is
TO collect this tax. gets busy, the
sheep owners IN Garrard county will
be losers by several hundred dollars.

POOL VIOLATORS
FACING LAW SUITS
Burley Growers Who
Sold Leaf Under AS
ISOLATION Contracts
To BE Pro,eeu,ed-one Uses Wife's
Name.

Prosecution fgrowcrs who have
sold tobacco belonging 20 the Burnley
Growers' Cooperative Association
and Of warehousemen who have al
lowed or induced growers to sell such
tobacco will be begun in a few days.
il was announced headquarters at the
conclusion Of a meeting Of the
Board Of Directors.
The field service department, un-
der the direction Of Joseph Passon-
neau. has been investigating alleged
cases Of violation Of contract and
will present the data to Aaron Sapiro
general counsel for the association.
One Of the first prosecutions. Mr..
Sapiro said, viii be that Of promi-
nent farmer in the central warehouse
district. who sold large crop Of to-
bacco in the name Of his wife.
Other prosecutions are planned in
other districts. where evidence Of
illegal sale is in the hands Of the as
ISOLATION.
Under the provisions Of the con-
tracts the grower gives to the as
soeiation the right TO get a decree
Of specific performance to force de-
livery Of all tobacco unsold, to get
hquidated damages Of 8 cents
pound on all tobacco sold and TO
get injunction against the buyer to
prevent further purchases.
The prosecution Of the warehouse
men will be carried on probably as
criminal cases under the provisions Of
the Bingham cooperative marketing
law laying a penalty Of $4,000 on
the warehouseman for buying or
permitting a sale where he had
knowledge that the grower was
member Of the association.
This provision is intended, accord
ing 10 members Of the association,
to discourage the use of violence in
cases where angry neighbors might
resort 70 il. as occurred during the
old pool.
Mr.. Passonneau has had agents Of
the association at many Of the open
sales floors TO warn the warehouse
men X a member Of the association
should try TO violate a contract.
Most Of the housing men. he said.
had refused 20 buy or even allow
pooled tobacco on their floors, but
few had gone about seeking to
make sales for members Of the asso-
citation.
The activities Of James c. Stone,
president. in making sales and Of
Ralph NJ. Barker, director Of ware
houses, in receiving and redrying to-
bacco. were unanimously approved by
the board. by a rising vote Of con-
| fidence.
Mr.. Stone made full report on
finances. sales and receipts Of tobae-
co.
"As representatives Of the grow
ers, we are proud Of he things we
have-done," one Of the directors said.
IF il were not for the untiring and
skillful efforts Of Mr. Barker and Mr..
Stone, however, | am afraid the rec
ord would not be so good. We are
fortunate in having obtained officers
Of such quality"
Mr.. Stone produced official figures
to show the average sales so far
would be several cents higher than
the average paid TO growers outside.

mt least, cannot claim more
than a general knowledge.
The law directs that the Fiscal
! Court publish annually a finan-
cial statement showing TO
whom the money has been paid
that Is collected in revenues.
This the Fiscal Court has failed
TO do for nearly two years.
The Grand Jury might inves-
tigate as 10 why this violation
of the law by the Fiscal Court.
The Fiscal Court is making
plans. as we are informed, to
offer for sale az some future
time at least s50,000.00 in

people for the purpose of aid
ing in the construction of a fed
'eral highway across the county.
That project, as is well known.
went by the board, but the
Court is considering substitut-
ing its will and judgment for
that Of the people who voted
this money for another pur-
pose. Before that Court takes
this step IL would be wise. in
deed. we think. for the Grand
Jury TO investigate fully as 10
whether those who have had
charge of and are presently in
control Of the County Road
Fund and the spending of it
have proven themselves COM
petent and efficient in hand
ling the County's business and
the Grand Jury should make n
frank statement and report 10
the people of its findings along
this line.
Complaint is made. and per-
haps justly so. that the roads
of the county have not been
ditched. and that the Road De-
partment OF the county has
neglected its duty along this
line. and. thereby much of the
road fund, is claimed by some,
has been wasted by this failure.
| We think the Court could
afford 10 mention this fact to
the Jury in his Instructions and
in turn the Grand Jury spend
some time in hearing evidence
and reporting its opinion and
conclusions TO the people that
they may know the real facts.
This is about the only way that
the taxpayers can really get
ut the facts and know the
whole truth. II those in charge
have done reasonably well, let
it be known. II they have
done the best that could be
done under the circumstances
those who have been in charge
should be commended. On the
contrary, il high salaries have
been paid TO political favorites
and incompetents and to those
neglectful and Indifferent as to
public duty and the public has
suffered thereby. this informa-
ton should be given to the
people. Six days. yes. even
twelve days Of the Grand
Jury's time could be profitably
spent, and more profitably
spent. along this line than any
other we know of.
