Our county will not impose a range tax
upon the sheep said Commissioner Ben
son last evening. Such d tax is detri-
menal to the sheep industry; 1t would
drive the sheep out of the county; ana
then. if the counties in which we winter
our sheep should retaliate with a similar
tax, we would have to feed our sheep. So,
you will see that the argument IN favor
of such tax to keep foreign sheep out
of each county is, in my opinion not a
good one. There are some Improvements
being made at Grantsville- The South
