ERG COA DOG LICENSE LAW CAUSES CONfUSION Statewide Statute Effecth- Next Year. Delinquent Tax Penalty Not Appli cable -Violations Punishable by Fines. The new statewide (log license act a san instrument of confusion and misinterpretation stands second only to the pension act, both passed by the recent general assembly. The (log tax law, levying $1.25 on each dog, becomes effective Janua ry 1, 1921. Acting under the presump tion that this was now in force county treasurers are reported to be already procuring a supply of 1920 license tags. Information to this effect has been received at the olice of Comp troller General Osbori . Another angle of interest is that mun aicipalities are seemingly not pro hibited from laying an additional license under this act. The language of the statute is: "The (statewide) Itax shall be exclusive of all other license, either municipal or other wise." Mr. Osborne's opinion is that the correct interpretation would be that "exclusive of" implied 'in addition to' municipal or other taxes. He will ask the attorney general for a ruling on this issfe. Acting under the impres sio nthat the new act prohibited the collection of municipal (log license taxes, G. Flavie Cooper city treasurer of Columbia was not expecting to col lect these this year. However, if such were prohibited, the city (log taxes would be available this year, as the statute does not go into effect until January 1, 1921. A still further argument has been raised. Failure to pay the tax is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $20. The comptroller general thinks that ihe do gtax would necessarily have to be paid between October 15 and De cember 31, 1921; otherwise the owner of the (log would be guilty of a mis demeanor instead of being liable to the usual delinquent tax penalties. The lav says the (og Lax shall be paid 'as other taxes are paid,' but makes fail ure to pay a misdemeanor. The new law reads as follows: Section 1.
