THE TAX ON CANINES.
Mr. J. Davis Carter Regards the Law
as a Blow at the Poor Man.
Editor Comity Reoord:?
And now, Mr Editor, comes the
50c dog tax, a direct blow at the
poor man. However, I will say at
the beginning of this article that I am
no dog lover and all who know me
will bear me ont in this sCatement, so
I want to set myself aright on this
subject. It's not the dog, bat the
poor man that I am trying to defend.
Well, to commence with, if I am not
mistaken, the snprezne court has el*
ready decreed that dogs are personal
property and I notice that all dogs
are valued by the county board of
equalization at $5, which 1 think is
the highest valued property listed
for taxation. Why then put a capitation
tax of 50c on dogs? Why not
make it $6.00 per capita on horses
and mules? 1 think they are assessed
much lower according to value, than
dogs. But ohl that's not the object
to raise money 3&vs one; but to get
rid of so many worthless dogs prowling
aroand killing sheep, eating eggs,
etc. Well, I admit that such is
the oase, but, I think, there is a very
good way of getting rid of such cbar*
acter of dogs, or at least I have been
snooessfnl around my place.
Well, now, let's see how the dog
and sheep stand in relation to valuation
by referring to the comptroller
general's report. I find the value of
dogs in Sonth Carolina decidedly
more than that of sheep. Why then
pot a 50c tax on dogs. Is there any
goocl reason why? If so I wonld like
to hate it explained, for I fail to see
it now. I said in the beginning of
this article that it was a blow at the
poor man, and 1 shall endeavor to
ihow why it is geuerally conceded
that the poorer a man gets the more
dogs he wants, well why? Because
it's pleasure he's seeking. Now the
people of this State are divided into
many classes. They all try in some
way or other to have recreation and
pleasure. The rich haTe their palace
cars, parks and automobiles.
There is another class who enjoy their
fine horses, worth all the way from
five hundred to twenty five hundred
dollars, and possibly returned for
taxation at one hundred dollars.
There is another class who enjoy the
pleasure of looking at their fine herds
of cattle, hogs etc, others their
fine fowls and fighting cocks, and
so on down. I might mention many
other ways in which our people
have their pleasures, but when you
get down to our poorer people they
have nothing to look to for pleasure
save their coon docra. And now T
say in all candor, don't deprive the
poor man of his only source of pleasure
by taxing bis dog all out of pro.
portion with other property. If
there is more money needed for the
public schools go down in yonr
clpthes and get it; don't force' he
poor man to pay it or give up his d g
I think it far better to look closer in
getting all the notes, bonds and
mortgages on the tax books, than
looking so close after the dogs. Thi
being done the 50c dog tax will not
be needed. And now, Mr Editor, lest
I trespass too much on your valuable
v space and time, I close by saying, do
let the plow boy have his dog so he
can chase the rabbits around the
plantation and git 'em for supper.
Respectfully,
J Davis Carier,
Leo, S. C., May 7, 1904.
