To The Judge 'Of The Breckinridge Circuit Court: We would respectfully report that we have completed our work, return ing the Indictments herewith handed you. We have examined the jail and county property and find same in good condition. The Commissioner of Agriculture has earnestly appealed to our local officers to enforce the Dog Law, even Erecting the County Attorney to is sue warrants against all offenders. The local dog and sheep conditions re ceived the serious attention of the Grand Jury about a year ago. Not withstanding the law had then been repeatedly advertised in all the county papers, at great expense, the Jury re commended that the law be again ad vertised and that the warnings of its enforcement be again given. The last Grand Jury had the matter up and passed the same to us for ac tion and to give still further time and the last warning. 800 Licensed in 1921 Licenses were paid on about twenty-three hundred dogs the first year 1919. There was money then to pay all sheep claims. In 1921, there were only sixteen hundred listed and but eight hundred of these arc licensed. Next year, unless something is done, there will be no licenses and no sheep funds. The situation that now con fronts us and those in authority, is that the sheep of men who have obey ed the law and licensed their dogs arc being killed, usually by dogs of men who have ignored the law and repeat ed warnings arc killed, their own ers get nothing because insufficient funds have been paid in. It is manifestly wrong to collect from one man and permit his neigh bors to escape. Do'gs seem to be in increasing, sheep decreasing, and it is a matter of enforcing this law as to all, or destroying its usefulness to any. One man wanted this jury to 'investi gate and indict somebody because there is no money to pay for sheep killed in this county by dogs It is demanded by those who do pay license on 'dogs and who favor this law that it be enforced. Some have openly and continously defied the law. So you see our position. Not Enough Blanks. Wc arc indicting many of those who own and keep dogs without a license There were not sufficient blank indict ments to finish the lists, so we direct that information issue against these, and also, those who own and keep un licensed and uuassesscd dogs, and that information be used in case of any errors in these returned, that the en forcement of the law may hereafter be uniform and that all be treated a- 'ike, when only sixteen hundred dogs t ii i i t r. . sessors should be required to revise and complete their reports, and dogs with out owners should be disposed of, as the law required, at once; and everybody should work together to create a sufficient sheep fund, to rid the county of worthless dogs, and to get all possible benefit of this law. Fine and Costs $10. The punishment for the violation of this law is a fine of $100, or less, and also, imprisonment, if the court so adjudges. It is our purpose to start the enforcement of this law, but to work as little hardship as possible. We call ed in all the officials concerned, and, by agreement, it was so arranged that a fine and all costs will only amount to $10.00. Summons will be issued in stead of warrants; and, when sum moned, if the defendant fails to appear judgement by default will be entered, thus saving the parties the trouble and expense of appearing in court. The fine and cost can be mailed to the Trustee of Jury Fund, P. M. Basham, Hardinsburg, thus ending the matter. In acting on so many cases, we will make some errors, but such is not our purpose. Wherefore, we ask to be dis charged that this report be entered of record, and that a certified copy there of be published in each county paper at the expense of the sheep fund. P. R. Payne, Foreman.

The act was attacked on the ground that Congress was without constitu tional authority to establish Farm Loan Banks and to exempt their banks from taxation.
