Is th® Law Constitutional?
The dog law, passed conditionally
by the recent legislature, was in¬
tended, no doubt, to be general in
its operations, and perhaps the gen¬
tlemen who passed it with a proviso
attachment, believed in their aouls
that every grand jury in the state
would adopt it the first thing after
reaching their respective rooms.
But the unexpected has happened.
The grand juries of several counties
have declined to tax the dogs,
and this has brought into question
the constitutionality of the law, for
it is well known that a general law
must operate alike in every part of
the state.
The legislature, in fact, passed
an emasculated state local option
dog law, without the knowledge or
consent of the people of a single
county.
Look at it from whatever stand-
point you may, the legislature is
placed in a rather undesirable light.
If they intended the law to be a gen-
eral one, they showed inexcusable
ignorance. If they ignored the right
of the people of the various counties
to aBk for this kind of a local option
law if they wanted it, they showed
little fitness for the honorable
they occupied. • ,
sitions
The Dispatch neither indorse, nor
condemns 3 the purpose of t the 4 . 1 , dog
law, although it does not yet 8ee
clearly that the evils its adoption
would create would be overbalanced
by the benefits it would bring. What
it objects to is the bungling manner
in which our solons have sought to
put the law into operation.
When you turn the searchlight of
unbiased, criticism upon the bill in
question, you find it difficult to say
whether it is fish, flesh or fowl, so
to speak. It is not a general law,
because it will not operate alike
throughout the state; it is not a
cal option law, because it has not
been left for the people to
whether it shall become operative in
their respective counties. It is a
hybrid, seemingly born of an intense
desire, on the part of our solons, to
shirk responsibility by creating a
sub-legislature in every count y in
the state.
Like the dark lantern law requir-
ing the legal advertising to be done
at tbs county seat if a paper is pub¬
lished there, this abortion will not
stand.

A Not® of Warning'
From tli» Albany Herald.
The Herald is published in an ag¬
ricultural region and feels closely
identified with the farming interest
A large percentage of onr business
from year to year is derived either j
directly or indirectly from the tillers
of the soil. We refer to this rela-
tionship and association of interest
in the beginning of this article
for the purpose of claiming
credit for the Herald, but to remind
our farmer friend* of the fact that,
even from a selfish point of view on
our part, their interest is naturally
largely our own.
So much by way of preface to
little family chat which we want
have with the farmers of southwest
Georgia.
