Federal arms license and tax proposals stir District debate
A draft bill proposes a federal license for dealers to carry pistols in the District and imposes a tax on license procurement. It would require dealers to keep vigilant accounts of arms and allow import from outside the District only with license. Critics say heavy taxes and enforcement could burden law-abiding dealers, while some argue the goal is to curb pistol possession. The measure also contemplates penalties for violations and aims to restrict arm imports by mail or express services.

John Dooly of Jacksonville New Jersey says his brindle cow, once milky with trouble, now powers a sawmill by tethering her tail to a beam while a rope drives the saw. The device, tested beside a woodshed, lets the cow switch her tail to operate the contraption and cut wood quickly, enabling milking in minutes and reportedly producing two cords of wood per session. Dooly claims the cow is now valuable and corralled interest from nearby farmers seeking a switchtail cow.
