Dog Law TO GUARD
Them FROM POISON
ANDPROTECT sheep
Proposed Act to Work Both
Mays; Town Ours Declared
Guilty Of Killings

Contention that a proper dog tax
will protect dogs AS well as sheep has
been made to the senate committee
which has the F'rcdrickson dog tax
law under consideration.
In some parts Of the state, N. y.
German. Of tho state agricultural
college. told the committee. sheepmen
ar putting out poison for dogs and
some valuable CANNES have been done
to death as result. Elimination of
worthless or ownerlesS dogs BY reason
OF III effective dog law. he said,
would stop this practice and protect
those dogs which have value, at least
to their owners.
Any effort to amend the law to re-
move tho provision requiring dog
owners to keep their dogs in leash
at night will meet serious opposition.
German and others said most of the
sheep arc killed at night and that
dogs must be kept tied at night II
real protection Is to be given the
sheep
Members of the committee agreed
that the Job VI protecting the sheep
should be placed wholly OH dog own
crs and that sheep owners should be
required to place their flocks in a
shccpfold at night to protect them
from the ravagcs Of dogs or coyotes.
The attitude OF many committee
members was typified by Senator W..
d. Lynch, La Mourc county. who said
he likes dogs but likes sheep better.
Senator Frcdrickson said he is not
insisting upon any particular pro-
vision in the bill, but pointed out
that theshcepmcnof the state are de-
manding workable dog law and that
this legislature should enable sheep
men to meet their needs.
Among other things the committee
has learned that it is the small-town
dog which kills the sheep. Testimony
Of several persons showed that dogs
which live In small towns rove the
country at night and kill sheep on
ncighboring farms, returning to the
towns by daylight. It Is most diff
cult to raise sheep successfully near
villages it was said.
Bernicc B. Brittcn. Kcnmarc, has
suggested to the committee that. III
the event the law requires the de-
struction of unlicensed dogs, they be
killed In the most humane manner
possible.

OPPOSES
SESSION FOR farm
AND TARIFF ALONE
Says It Is Unconstitutional to
Limit Work to Specific
Lanes

Washington, Jan. 28.-(F)-Herbcrt
Hoover Is going to bump into a fight
with tho Democrats OH his proposal
to limit the extra session Of the new
congress this spring to the considera-
ton Of tariff and farm legislation.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader. sounded the war
cry today with declaration against
the president elects proposal which
he terms unconstitutional.
There are many things on which
legislation will be needed ii the extra
session is called" said Senator Robin
son, land certainly there is no con-
Stitutional method by which the sem
ate can be limited in the exercise of
its legislative duties"
However. Republican leaders are
looking confidently to the power of
an overwhelming majority in the
house to carry out the limitation
scheme. It is conceded that If the
house Republican leaders finally de-
eide only to organize the necessary
committees for consideration of the
tariff and farm relief that no other
legislation can be put through there.
Republicans will have majority of
almost 100 in the house.
The senate can go ahead and pass
all the bills it wants in the extra scs-
sion but If the house majority re-
fuses to consider them they cannot
become law. House leaders no not in
tend to consider anything but tariff
and farm relief in difference to the
wishes expressed by Mr.. Hoover in his
conferences here this month.
The Hoover administrations scheme
can be upset only by a coalition of
Democrats with healthy sized block
Of Republican votes in the house.
House Democrats are gauging the
prospects but their hope is faint.
