Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 105, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 May 1910 — Dog Tax Dodgers to Be Prosecuted by Township Trustees. [ARTICLE]

Dog Tax Dodgers to Be Prosecuted by Township Trustees.

The county board of education Monday re-elected Charles B. Stewart truant officer. Mr. Stewart has given careful attention to this job and his election was well merited. It was decided not to give gold stars for perfect attendance any more. It is thought the faithful are punctual and constant in their attendance without reward and that the expense of the stars is not warranted by law. The matter of employing an attorney to be consulted by the trustees was discussed but no action was taken. It was decided to compel all dog owners to pay taxes and to prosecute all who fail to report dogs and to pay the taxes thereon. Some trustees have been rather easy in this particular in the past but this year all are agreed to go after the dog tax dodgers with a sharp stick.
