DOG TALES
Rabies
By TOM FARLEY .

A RECENT report from Washing
"A ton listing the recommends
lions of the Public Health Service
for the eradication of rabies gives
every dog owner cause for serious
thought.
AS most dog owners know. the
disease occurs chiefly in dogs and
such related animals as the wolf,
fox, and coyote. But man may get
it through the bite of a rabid
animal.
I Actually, in the United States.
only IS to so persons die each
year from rabies (Which is always
fatal to human beings unless treat
ed), but between 10000 and 10000
persons take vaccine treatment be.
cause they have been bitten by
dogs suspected of having the dis
ease.
T. In 1947, according to the annual
report of the Department of Agri-
culture, there were 26 cases in
men, 6,949 cases among dogs, 766
in cattle, 40 in horses, Is in sheep,
20 in swine, 1913 in cats, 9 in goats,
and 1913 in miscellaneous animals
(mostly Wild.
Although the total number of
cases was considerably less than
for any year since 1912, the high
number among wild animals, es'
pecially foxes, gives cause for
worry. An epidemic among wild
animals is obviously more difficult
to control and can easily spread to
dogs and other domestic animals.

mends broad measures to every

community which, while probably
very effective. would be difficult
to put over on a nation wide basis.
They suggest:
1. Annual vaccination of all dogs.
2. Impounding of all stray dogs.
8. Licensing of all dogs.

an outbreak of rabies.
Many communities already do q
good job in enforcing recommends.
tons 2, 8 and 4, but required an.
nual vaccination is much less -popu.
lar. To be effective it would, Of
course, have to be tied into the
licensing so that the treatment
would be given every year before
the tag was issued. Perhaps a
clinic, paid for out of the licensing
fees, at the point where the licenses
were issued for, say, two weeks
before the date when new regis
tration was required would make
it practical.
In the meantime, however, the
question comes as to whether your
dog should be vaccinated annually
on voluntary basis. It's best to
discuss this with your veterinarian
who is familiar with the incidence
of disease in your area. For in.
stance, if you live in community
where there were no cases Of
rabies reported in the last year.
there is probably no need to worry.
However, il you live in a section
where the Incidence is high, an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.

President Truman may have to
ask Congress for an increase of
Is per cent or more in some taxes
if he wants to balance the budget
that way, Government figures
showed today.
Despite advance notice of op-
position in Congress, Mr.. Truman
has indicated he will ask for
more revenues. He says it is nee
essary to help cover the $780,
100000 in deficit spending he has
estimated for the year ending
next June 30.
To raise even that amount of
additional revenue. congressional
experts said Mr.. Truman probably
will be forced to ask for sharp
increases in individual and cor
poration income taxes.
These taxes represent about
three -fourths Of the $38, 900 ,000,-
900 in revenue the Treasury ex-
poets to take in in the current
year, while it is paying out a
total estimated by the President
at $43,500, 600. 900.
Many members Of Congress
have made it plain that they don't
favor any increase in taxes. In
fact, the Senate Finance Com
mittee voted during the last
session to cut excise levies, but
the issue never saw action in the
Senate.
