Every Dog Not
Tied Up To Be
Shot By Police
Rabies Takes Four More Ca
mines In Las Vegas; Nash
Orders Killing Of All Loose
Dogs.

We will shoot all dogs allowed
20 run at large"
This statement, issued yesterday
By Chief CT Police Percy Nash, was
The result of the siege of rabies
which has taken hold recently in
this city.
Four more dogs died Sunday of
he dread disease. according to
oolice and the danger is feared
likely to spread not only among
The dogs but to human beings as
we'll if the dogs are allowed to
-un at large.
All the dogs in town are not
worth a human life. it was pointed
out. Hence the order to shoot all
legs not Oh leash.
The dogs head recently sent to
Carson City for analysis. after the
dog had been killed by police,
revealed that the dogs peculiar ac-
tions were caused by rabies.
Police fear that many other dogs
have been bitten and that within
week or so many more will die,
the period Of incubation having
passed.
Rabies are 10 per cent fatal to
persons infected.
A dog running loose with rabies
can and will bite many others as
a rule before he can be captured.
after the deSeaSe reaches its final
state, according to Nash. Hence
the danger of dogs running loose.
The period OF rabies incubation
in a dog is about three weeks and
after that there is changS in the
dogs behavior. He loses his appe-
tite and drinks but little water, his
ewes change their expression and
he nips a. the air often.
The next stage, which lasts two
or three days, is marked by a
change Of tic dogs voice. and
continual running around biting
at things. This is the last stage
before complete paralysis and
death.
Human beings show substantially
tho same symptoms, it is explained.
1t is asked that any dog show
ing any of these symptoms be re-
ported to police, SO that care can
be taken to prevent spread OF the
disease. if the dog be infected.
And we must shoot all dogs
which we find running loose, the
Chic fWarnS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. UP)-A
resolution proposing a S160 1000 900
tax reduction was dropped into the
house bill hopper as the first le9i5-
lation to be offered when the Ills,
congress convened in its first reg
ular long session today.
Chairman Hawley of the house
WAYS and means committee VINO
proposed the legislation in behalf of
the administration, announced COM
pletion Of a program which would
make nossible its adoption by tn
house Thursday.
In the simplest terms, the reso-
luton proposes q one per cent re-
duction upon all classes of taXpaE =
crs. individuals aud corporations.
The healthy fiscal condition o.
the government was outlined in a
bdu2et message prepared by Presi-
dent Hoover for delivery TO. boon
the senate and the house as soon
as they arc ready to receive it.
Tomorrow Mr.. Hoover officially
will inform the congress by his les
islayive message on the state Ot
the union" that the financial out
look is good enough to warrant lift
me S16O000.000 from the tax bur
dens OF the people.
wednesday, his secretary of treas
urv, Andrew w. Mellon, will go be-
fore the house ways and means
committee to advise how the reduc-
ton should be applied. He VIII
recommend a straight cut OF one
Der cent from everyOnc'S tax levy
which will bring the normal income
tax rates from 5, 3 and IL per cent
down to 4. 2 and l. per cent, ana
reduce the corporation rate from
II to II per cent.
Congressional leaders have made
plans to handle the matter eXpedl-
tiously. It is generally expected the
reduction will be made law before
adjournment Dec. 20, for the CHRIST
mas holidays. ,,...
This bold stroke Of the admins
tration is founded upon the conil-
dence Of Mr. Hoover and Secretary
Mellon that the business outlook
points toward expansion. There VIII
be no diminu ion IN amount OF
taxes to be received reXt year, they
say. Strong Tax payments mean
profits are being made by corpora
tions and individuals, the admins
tration leaders point out
Unless they had confidence III
revenue they would hes
ita.e to recommend a tax cut. BY
The move. they also expect $780,"
10000 will be turned to productive
which otherwise would
be absorbed by the government.
The congressional schedule calls
for introduction Of the tax cut reSo-
luton IN the house today or tomor-
row, and for reading of the budget
measure Wednesday.
Leaders of both houses plan 10
adjourn the first day in respect to
the memory Of those who have died
