DODGING THE DOG TAX.

Dodging the dog tax seems to
have become a general practice in
Kentucky and little effort appears to
be made to enforce the payment of
the impost fixed by law. This stu
alton is stressed by recent instan-
ces of blanket pardons issued by the
Governor to persons indicted for
non-payment, relieving them from
the fines and costs imposed on con-
dition that they pay the dog tax.
Pardons were granted to approx
mately SOD persons in two counties
who tried to evade the dog tax and
this is regarded as rejecting a SINH
lar condition in practically every
other county where payment of the
dog tax is looked upon in the nature
Of a voluntary offering. Only re-
Gently the published financial state
ment of an otherwise progressive
county showed that of over 1,40(
dogs listed the tax had been paid or
only 10Y.
Sometime ago over 1000 indict
ments were returned in singh
county against delinquent dog ta1
owners, but the prosecutions were
dismissed conditions on the payment
Of the tax. In most counties the
evasion of the dog taxes seems to be
overlooked, with the result that only
comparatively few of the dog own
ers show any inclination to settle
with the tax gatherer.
The dog owner may have no othel
property but he has a vote and usu
ally strong prejudices against thu
impost. This in a political way ma!
account for the apparent disinclina
ton of officials to resort to harsh
measures in forcing the collection o
what to many is an odious tax tina
justif1es any means of getting by
without paying for the privilege o
keeping "Tige" or "Old Ring"

XALAPA YEARLINGS BRING To-
TAI OF $75,900.'

1t remained for the yearlings
from Edward F. Simms' Xalapa
Farm, Paris, to furnish the best av-
erage of any of the Fasig-Tipton
sales this season to date, when 20 Of
them went under the hammer at
Saratoga, New York, Thursday
night, and brought total of $751;
200. This was an average of $3,450
each, while the best previous mark
was that of A. B. Hancock's young
sters, $3,295 apiece.
The Simms collection presented a
fine appearance and bidding was
spirited throughout the night on
them. The star of the band was a
bay colt by Broomstick-HVen
Break, the first of the progeny of
this sire put up at the sales, and he
went to Monford Jones for $11,500.
The first bid on him was $4,000,
with B. A. Jones making the offer.
R. A. Smith, R. L. Gerry and Scott
Harlan took up the bidding then,
but Jones outlasted them all. This
colt was of excellent type, and he
elected favorable comment from all
sides.
A bay colt by Fair Play-Crystal
Maid went to the Rancocas Stable
for $4,000, after Harlan made "a
number of bids for him. The lat
ter finally succeeded in getting one
one of the topnotchers. when his bid
of $4,000 was accepted for brown
filly by Ultimus-Thirty Third.
Harlan was acting for the Greentree
Stable, whose Horses he trains.

The American Government
By Frederic: J. Haskin I
The Book That Shows Uncle Sam at Work

Haven't you often wished
for. a true picture Of your
Government? Not a Demo-
cratic picture, not a Republi-
can picture. but an accurate,
unprejudiced, non-political
picture of the Government
of which you are a part and
partner?
That picture is now for
for the first time put be-
fore the American people.
Frederic J. Haskin, in his
book, "The American Gov
ernm>pt," has set forth the
story of the actual workings
of the great governmental
machine in a~manner at once
SO skillful and accurate IS to
win the commentator of
our greatest statesmen, Re-
publican and Democrat alike,
and which will quicken the
pulse of every American who
reads it.

mtnistralion shipping bill.

fore the senate Wednesday AZ a meas
ure for tho benefit OF the American
farmer, the American business man
and the American nation" and on the
other hand las Il direct raid on the
treasury to pay some people to do
what they ought to do WITHOUT pay
ment."
The measure was before the senate
for more than four hours and during
that i'm was praised by enator
Jones. Washington. chairman Of the
committee and was attack
ed by Senator Fletcher OF Florida,
ranking Democrat membe of the
same committee.
While the discussion proceeded on
the floor. foes of the measure and
advocates or rural credits legislation
further cemented their alliance de-
signed to d!splace the ship bill in
favor OF farm measure. Indications
became increasingly apparent. how
ever. that his move could not be
made in tho near future. as no rural
credit bill possessing any considerable
= degree Of support appeared in sight
in the senate committee work rooms.
Jones Appeals For, Support.
Senator Jones in concluding his
shipping bill appealed for the sup
port Of it by the farmers and by la
Dor. He emphasized the national de-
Tense possibilities of Il firmly estab-
1ished American merchant marine
n declared that the German mer-
chant marine won the war for the
Allies. When senators expressed sur
prise at the declaration, he presented
figures to show that German ships
which were seized in American ports
carried 100000 American soldiers to
France whereas American ships
transported only 24S, 900 troops.

we had gotten only about 100000
troops overseas the result of the
World war would have been differ
emit"
Senator Fletcher quoted Chairman
. Lasker Of the shipping board as hay
ing said that ut Is pure bunk" to
charge that the cost of operating
American ships was increased ma
terially by the LeFollette's seaman's
act. He explained that his hvesti-
CATION had convinced him there was
no practical difference in the cost OF
operating vessels under the American
flag as compared with those under
foreign flags and insisted that higher
( raj scales could not be used as an
argument for government aid for
American shipping.
Propaganda Charge.
~ The Florida declared the
shipping board had conducted obnox-
ious propaganda in behalf of the
legislation" n said that speakers
sent out by the board had resorted
to every possible mea to create
public opinion in support of this bill
without dealing with the fundamental
facts regarding 1t.
Senator Fletcher will continue his
