All creditors could do was to hare their bills audited and approred by the secretary of state's offlco and then discount them as beet they could. In time the bills were paid, bearing no in . terest meanwhile. The state can not Imu warrants, being forbid den by the constitution to go into debt except by rote of the people. ,One prominent democrat said he was opposed to the sales tax in principle but thought from the standpoint of practical politics it was also doomed to failure. He predicted a certain referendum of any tax measures the legislature might pass and equally certain de- feat In a statewide Tote. While grange and union labor leaders- are working steadily against a sales tax, the run of the mill legislators apparently feel such a tax is the best solution of a difficult state finance tangle. This group, probably the ma jority in both bouses, appeared uncertain yesterday what course to pursue, meanwhile keeping an open mind on the wisest policy to follow. A democratic caucus, called for last night at the Marlon hotel, was not carried through due to press of work at the statehouse where a public hearing was held on me saies tax.

The first two business days of the year 32 li censes were purchased. Deputy County Clerk H. A. Judd reported at the close of office yesterday. Last year, 3987 dogs were licensed in Marion county. Reason for a good start on the new licenses may be partly due to the decreased fee this year. Li censes for female dogs cost only S2, a reduction of a dollar over last year; and for males the fee is but SI, also a dollar less than last year. Dog owners have until March 1 to secure licenses without being subject to penalty.
