4 , Dog Totes " The Royal Commission on Lotteries and
Betting is understood to be about to issue an interim report, and is rather surprisingly credited with the intention of condemning totalisators on greyhound-racing courses. It is hard to see how totes can be permitted at horse-races and not at dog-races. If they were legalized with a view of purifying the sport and protecting the innocent backer, they are clearly as much needed on the greyhound racing track as on the ordinary race-course. They have proved to be popular and efficient on many tracks for a long time past, and no harm can be done by giving them the legal sanction which they were supposed to enjoy, until the High Court ruled against them in the Leeds case. Moreover, the " Dog Totes " should yield a useful amount to the revenue.
