SIR: Your letter of the 2Sth ult. to the
address of the Attorney General, has been
referred to this Bureau, for the reason that he
IS not authorised to give an opinion upon the
question submitted. By sec. Ii. of the tax
act, each farmer and planter of the Confederate
States is required to pay one tenth q: the pro-
ducts enumerated therein, save certain resere
ystions to the government. This tax is i'm
posed on all, whether gathered or MOI, except
bay and fodder, which must first be cured, and
peas beans and ground peas, which must FIRST
be gathered. 1t therefore follows, that, if
farmer gathers none Of the latter, but turns his
hogs into the field, and the crop is consumed in
thai way, then, as none has been gathered, tners
will be no tax. So then, tie tithe is only re.
quired upon the hog and fodder cured. and the
peas, beans and ground peas gathered-these
are all the exceptions. If man turns hogs
on his potatoes, corn, &c, ae must cave enough
os each to pay the tithe upoa lne whole. This
is the IaaU, and it IS by that tkat We must all
be governed. BY sec. IL, the farmer, planter
or grazier, is required to pay ons.teGth of his
pork-ihat is, OF all the hogs slaughtered, in
bacon, reconing 60 lbs. Of bacon as an equiva.
lent for 100 lbs. pork There is no deduction
to be made. No inquiry as to- how the hogs
were fattened, whether by corn from the crib,
corn in the field, or peas ground peas and po.
tatoes fed In the field, it is all the same.
Very respectfully, .a
