You Gotta Quit Kickin’ On Payin' Dog Taxes.

Pulaski County Democrat: Suits for failure to pay dog tax have been started the past week against eleven Franklin township men the affidavits being filed by Prosecutor MeDowell before Squire Graves. All but one of those who have so far been arrested have come in and paid up. The one was Jerry Williamson, who stood trial. He was found guilty and fined $5 apd costs, the total amounting to about S2O.JJe refused to pay or stay, and was taken to the Knox jail Tuesday by Sheriff Zellers, there to lay out the fine and costs at the rate of a dollar a day. It is said that it was on Williamson's representations that “they can’t make you pay dog tax” that nearly or all the oth* men failed to pay, ani all have found that Jerry doesn’t know as much as he thinks be does. Besides these eleven cases only one other in the county has been reported to the prosecuting attornev, no action has yet been taken on that
