NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 9. 1916.
Another vicious attack on a small
child by a dog draws attention to the
fact that the dog ordinance Is being
honored more in the breach than in
the observance. At least if there is
any effort on the part of the authori
ties to enforce the dog ordinance it has
not effected any appreciable diminua
tion in the number of loose dogs to be
seen around the streets. Fortunately,
accidents such as that occurring yes
terday are not common but, consider
ing the number of animals that are
around at all hours of the day and
night, that they are not more frequent
is probably attributable more to good
luck lhan anything else. However
much it may be argued that the nature
of the wolf dog is changed through
the admixture of the outside strain
it is most certain that they lose but
little of their wolfish instincts.
Hegardless of how much their disposi
tion may ha altered in other respects,
they are quite as willing as their more
savage progenitors to attack anything
that is down and helpless. The wolf
instinct to leap upon the fallen victim
is plainly displayed both in work and
play. The general disposition of the
malamute may be improved by cross
breeding but this inclination to jump
upon anything that is down is display
ed with too great frequence in dogs
possessing but little of the wolf strain
to lead to the belief that it has been
eliminated by cross breeding to any
particular degree. Time and again we
have witnessed attacks on human be
ings by animals that showed but little
of the wolf strain and in two instances
within the past year have ourselves
been attacked by animals in which the
outside strain clearly predominated. In
addition we have listened to numer
ous complaints from parties who had
been attacked during the same period.
There is little question thut loose
dogs are a menace, not only to children
but also in adults and a proper regard
for safety demands that they be pre
vented from running loose. Yester
day's incident was trifling compared to
many of a similar nature that have
happened at intervals but it was, never
the less, sufficiently serious to show
that too much care cannot be taken
to safeguard the public, and particu
larly the* children, from attacks.
THE INCOME TAX. ,
I he new income tax law makes no
changes in the tax upon annual in
comes under $5,0000, but on incomes
above that figures the increase is from
1 to 10 per cent. Provisions is made
in the taw for a federal Inheritance
tux on large estates, varying from J
pet cent on a $50,000 estate to 5 per
cent on estates over $450,000. The
present desire of many American mu
nition manufacturers to retire from
business is caused ,in a great measure,
by the heavy tax imposed by the new
law on net profits in that industry,
varying from 2 per cent on profits up
to $260,000 to 5 per cent on annual
profits in excess of a million dollars.
Under the new law un income of
over $20,000 Is penalized by a surtax,
or extra tax over that placed upon the
lower Incomes. Thus, while a $20,000
to $40,000 income pays f per cent tax,
■ i $40,000 to $60,000 income pays 2
per cent and a $60,000 to $80,000 in
comes pays 2 per cent, increasing to
the limit of 10 per cent in the case
.>f all incomes over $500,000, and 15
r cent on Incomes of $2,000,000 and
over.
Though questioned seriously as to
its legality for many years and once
condemned by the supreme court of
the United States, the principle is now
cognized that a point may be reach
1 in a citizen's earning capacity
Ahere he receives more than he may
v permitted to retain, and must dis
tribute the excess in the channels of
irculution. It is a principle, also, that
assumes that a citizen is obligated
for the protection of his government
and the enjoyment of its institutions
In proportion to the amount of income
hat ho receives.
The eld idea about the equality of
men has received a severe Jolt in the
income tax law. It may be still said
that men are created equal, and accu
mulate their points of difference with
he varied progress of their fortunes
and th? varying degrees of intelli
gence that are utilized in the disposi
tion of their original capital of body
and brain.—Seattle P.-I.
