GOVERNOR URGED TO VETO DOG IB 11 — i ] Legislators Who Voted for the Measure Now Ask That It |! 11 Be Disapproved. Governor Bn-wn is being petitioned vig- * CTously to veto the dog tax law, recently j ' enacted by the legislature, but it is not i likely he will do so. . ' ; Not only hatj the executive received nu- I i merous letters recommending the law to’, his disapproval, but a number of repre- . , sentatives who voted f<»r the law have gone quietly to th< governor and impor- ; tuned him to veto it The governor is said to realize there ; 1 are two sides to the question, and that | the approval of the new law virtually wipes out the one now on the statute books He also is mindful of the fact that the practical repeal of the present lew means the loss of something like • $175,000 per annum to the state treasury The governor, nevertheless, is reported | to resent snmcwhat the attitude of those . members who voted for the bill in the • t house, and now urge him to veto it. The dog tax law is. particularly in the ( rural districts, about the most unpopular law on the statute books today. There ! are many counties in Georgia In which [ a vote in favor of a dog tax means politi cal death, certain and sure, tn the voter. Hence, there always are votes against n dog tax law on the floor of the house and senate cast by members who. In their hearts, favor the law. but dare not go on record that way.” The governor Is thought not to have any violent opinions with respect to the law, one way or the other, and he would like to save that $175,000 per annum to t the state, if lie might do so without up setting the righteous procedure of tilings. * He likely will sign the bill as it comes to hints CATHOLIC PRESS OF ‘ AMERICA CONVENES IN ANNUAL MEETING LOUISVILLE.
