On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

It had been proposed to the county
commissioners to license all rural dogs
and that license fees collected be used
to pay farmers who suffered loss OF
sheep and poultry attacked by dogs.
The board sent out questionnaires
asking rural residents their opinions.
A Gilbert lady, Miss Elsie Erickson,
IN answering expressed the opinion that
I'VE certainly could not expect all dog
owners to pay for our losses due to
dog proving. It is up TO each mdi-
vidual dog owner 20 pay for the
damages his dog does. Why should We
pay for our own losses and our neigh
bors' losses through taxes. Our taxes
are high enough now and yet we have
officers who sit in their offices and
think Of ways TO raise them" Taxes
taxes, and still more taxes and the
last of them to pay for present ex-
oenditures viii fall on our children'S
children several generations hence
Only a short time viii elapse when We
viii have no dog to tax as Fido VII

tenanee Of the taxpayer.
