40 Rooms for Sinclair

(E7ORTY rooms for Sinclair and party.
Il That is large order for any hotel

Instead of merely appearing personally
with your lawyer, as was once the custom, you

of Sinclair, be accompanied by many

Hence the order for forty rooms as fea-
ture of the Teapot Dome trial at Cheyenne.

If we can judge the present by the recent
past, we may assume that publicity agents will
occupy at least some of the forty rooms, for
which Mister Sinclair will settle when the trial
is over

some months ago ia Los Angeles.
The decision in that case has not yet been
handed down.
During the trial, planted in the courtroom

AS the trial proceeded these very efficient
and obiging young men were always ready to
provide information favorable to the Doheny
side Of the case and to "assist" in any way
possible the transmission of tie information to
the rest of the world.

WALKING
FOR HEALTH

c. CONKLIN and wife OF
IHE Anderson started out this
LIE morning to hike to Kan
sas City--a distance of 500 miles
They are making the trip for the
benefit of Mrs. Conklin's health.
In this age of debt-ridden mo-
tor cars and fiat-wheeled street cars
a 600-mile dose of Professionalism is
unusual Most city jewellers
would regard such a jaunt with
aversion-for walking is almost a
lost art.
Human history is literally sprin-
kled with blistered feet and stone
bruises. Man plodded afoot from
the Garden of Eden to the twenti-
eth century The tramp covered
considerable territory and progress
even IL tedious. RI
Now, however-though mans
first proud accomplishment is
learning to walk-feet are seldom
used as vehicles of personal trans
portation.
They furnish a livelihood. dia-
monds and Florida vacations to
shoe dealers and podiatrists Oc-
casionally they are useful to dance
upon-if they belong to some other
person. But their principal func-
ton in the modern scheme of civil
lization is to depress accelerators.
Probably most people would find
1t profitable to use their feet more
for walking. Health remains old
fashioned and is frequently found
afoot. OF course. a person can't
saunter to destination among the
irnmortals. But daily dose of
pedestrianism is good for the waist
line or a line of thought.

DOG TAX GOES
TO THE BOWWOWS

AL ARION COUNTY commits
lNI sioners reduced the county
dog tax the other day.
This action was possible because
OF the new State law giving
counties limited power to fix the
canine rates.
The cut somewhat blunts the
tusks Of a full-grown nuisance
tax. Nevertheless-with the city
license required--keeping a few
pups in indianapolis is still about
as expensive as ownership OF q
blind tiger.
The dog tax was originally I'm
tended to create a fund to re-
imburse farmers and others for
loss of sheep and fowls through
depredations Of stray dogs. Prob
ably in some localities such a fund
is necessary.
But in Marion County last year
$4,000 was collected in dog tax
and only $72 was paid out for
sheep and fowls, killed by dogs.
The county collected from this
source in 1924 enough money to
pay the yearly damages until
1868!
Even under the minimum schedr
ule permitted by State law this
county must impose an annual
tax sufficient to pay the canine
depredations Of a century. Here
the tax is about al necessary as
a tax on goldfish to pay for havoc
wrought by those ferocious crea~
turse when at large.
For a county to be required
by the State to levy a tax for q
non-existent object is absurd. A
lot Of State dictation in purely
county affairs is equally absurd.
Indiana counties could consume
larger helpings Of home rule with
out Indigestion.
