“"Reasonable statutes and ordinances providing for license fees on dogs are constitutional as a valid exercise of the police power of the state or municipality. It is within the power of a municipality to require all persons keeping dogs within the city limits to register and procure tags for them and to pay a fee therefor. The fee is generally considered a license for the purpose of controlling and regulating dogs, rather than a tax imposed for the sake of revenue * * *".”
