FEDERAL DOG TAX 



There are probably 25,000,000 dogs in the United 

 States, and 50,000,000 sheep. A Federal dog tax would 

 be a great stroke of good legislation.

 and provide that the tax shall be collected in every 

 case or a dog grave dug. 



WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN. 



A few million dog skins will help relieve the leather 

 famine.
