Dog Tag Sale
Lagging Here

Noble county dog owners were
reminded today that this Friday.
January 20, is the deadline for
the purchase of the 1850 licence
tags.
With the deadline only two
days away a check at the office
of County Auditor Jack Wilson
showed that only 1852 tags had
been sold. Using last year as a
basis for the dog population,
there are at least 1900 dog own
ers who have not purchased tags
for their canine.
In l949, a total of 1882 tags
were sold during the three weeks
tags were on sale. This year sales
have been slow from the opening
days, Auditor Wilson said.
Dog owners are warned that
anyone owning, keeping or har-
boring a dog over three months
of age can be fined from ten to
twenty-five dollars if he fails to
file an application for registra-
ton and pay the legal fee.
In December, the county aud
itor received $500 tags from the
Ohio Penal Industries. So far,
less than half of these have been
sold. Tags cost $l.25 for males;
females, $3.75; and kennel Ii
censes, $3.50.

on a three-point formula based
on 1949 federal tax collections in
the state, including Individual in
come taxes, corporate income
taxes, and excise and misceI-
laneouS taxes.
The 88 Ohio counties shares
are estimated by prorating the
states share among them accord
ing to the proportionate esti-
mated amount of federal income
tax paid by each county in 1948.
The presidents $42,000,000, 900
budget total does not tell the
whole story, Mr.. Atkinson said.
The budget, he pointed out, does
not include his proposed pay roll
increase of $3,0O0,000,000, affect
ing both employer and employe,
for socialized medicine and ex-
pansion of Social Security.
"These social welfare programs
already exact millions of dollars
annually from Ohio wage and
salary earners in the form of
taxes deducted from their pay
checks" Mr.. Atkinson said.
Should congress approve the
Truman proposals, pay roll taxes
increased on Jan. l, will rise
further and, sharply"
Mr.. Atkinson contended that
the budget can be balanced in
1851 without increasing federal
taxes.
ut can be balanced by reduc-
ing non-essential expenditures
just as we have done on the
farm, in business and industry in
Ohio, and as every Ohio house
wife has had to do in these days
of high taxes and high prices"
he said.
The Ohio chamber official
maintained that substantially
smaller budget than that pro-
posed by the president would
provide adequately for every es-
sential outlay of the government.
Such a budget, amounting to
$36, 000,000,000, Mr.. Atkinson
pointed out, was proposed recent
ly by United States Senator
Harry F. Byrd, a recognized au-
thority on federal fiscal affairs.
Senator Byrd's budget, he said,
did not allow for the continual
ton of wasteful and unnecessary
spending at Washington.
Under the Byrd program, Mr..
Atkinson stated, "the federal
budget could be balanced in 1861
with some funds left over to cut
the staggering public debt. The
Truman budget on the other
hand would make another tre-

The Caldwe Independent
Telephone Co. had offices in the
Citizens National Bank building.
It's incorporate stock amounted
to $4,000, according to the di-
rectory.
Phones were still quite a nov
city back in 1904, so the direct
ory started off with a page of
instruction for the subscribers.
Illustrations were used to por-
tray the right and wrong ways
to use the telephone.
The cities covered by the 1904
phone book were Cumberland,
| Caldwell, Macksburg, Dexter
City and Pleasant City and their
suburbs.
The method of listing phone
numbers in 1904 was consider
ably different than the present
day practice. In those days, the
numbers were listed first, then
the name of the subscriber, then
a fairly accurate address. A typ
ical subscribers listing was: No

There were about 70 tele-
phones in Cumberland in 1904.

w. C. Nichols was the editor in
those days. There were several
residential phones, but most of
those listed were in business
places. Some of them were: AL

Pastor of the Presbyterian
church in 1904 was Rev. H. c.
Morledge, Rev. J. H. Conkle was
giving spiritual guidance to the
Methodist congregation.
Large advertisements filled the
| pages of the old directory, alter
mating with the listings of the
subscribers. For some reason,
none of the Cumberland busi-
nessmen had ads in the 1904
book. Most of the firms repre-
sented were in Caldwell, but

1t was January l, 1888, that Zen
ger came to the Empire from Con-
nors Motors Company where he was
employed in the business office
by J. j. Connors.
1t has been long and faithful
employment on the part of Mr.
zenger, and the Empire can't help
hoping that with the end of the
war emergency he will return tc
the newspaper he has helped keel
going for nearly 20 years.
And, since everything seems tc

advertising manager is leaving tc

GREETED also.
In the meantime there will be q

Al Zenger has done plenty of pinch

and if the rest of us pinch hit for
him and Don Clark for awhile, that
