] Mr.. Lyman, from the commiite,
on revenue, reported back a substitute
tor the bill providing for the equalizs
ton Of taxes on tIansitOTy herds o
stock in this TerritJrJ, approved
February %, 1878. The substitute
repeats the act entirs.
Mr.. Lyman stated that the reason
for the repeal was that it did net Civ
the desired Subtraction, and compli
Gated the duties of the assessors Of tat
several counties, and the committe
could see no more reason for th
equalization Of taxes on herds, thar
on wagons, and other movable pre-
perty; and thought it had better b
taxed in the county where it is found
Mr.. Pack could not see the Pre-
priety of the repeal, and thought
was but just that an act should b
: passed for the equalization OF taxes o
4. herds of stock that are moved froI
one county 10 another, and thu
missed taxation altogether This VI;
especially the case in regard to sheeI
Z which were moved from the southeI
: and western counties to the northeI
! counties, in summer, and there e
:, up the ranges Of the settlers IN Il
sll northern counter.
IS Mr.. ST arp said the revenue cor
d mittee had looked through Hou
es file So, but thought it would not be
or good Law. According to heproyisit
Is of the law, the county where the sto
esl Wintered was emitted 10 nslf the ia
81 and the county where it summer
y was entitled to the other halt. II t
~ tax was to be equslized every couu
where the stocks eat a mouthful
no press was entitled to portion.
