AN OBJECT LESSON .

The people of this section of
Idaho, at least, had little object
lesson given them by Wyoming o.
ticials over in Star valley last week.
1t will be remembered that in our
sister state they have grazing tax
law for foreign sheep. Well, it
seems several Utah sheepmen drove
herds into Star valley without first
paying the tax, and the owners and
herders were arrested for violating
the statute. County Attorney
Sammon, of Uinta county, prosecut-
ed the violaters, and the justice
fined them $500 each, and costs.
This little move netted that county
about $4,000.
The moral of it all is, if the
people want any protection from
foreign sheep herds they must see
to it that no sheep kings or any OF
their sympathi2ers are sent to the
Legislature to make laws. Send
men who will look out for Idaho
citizens in preference to those o.
any other state.

WHY THEIR KICK.

The EXAMINER believes that JUS
tice should be melted out to all tax
payers alike, whether man owns
sheep, cattle, land, money, or other
property, but when the owners of
the best paying business i'll the state
try to squeal out of their share of
the tax burden we are not back
ward about showing them up.
This is evidently what some of the
big sheep owners in Idaho are at
tempting to do now before the state
board of equalization. 1t will be
noticed that only the big flock
masters are kicking. The little
fellows, like we have III Bear Lake,
don't seem to think that the rate,
SO per head, is too high, OF at least
they haven't gone to the trouble of
going to Boise.
These big flock masters want the
assessed rate put at 50 per head,
and say they will go into court if
the state board persists in sticking
to the SO rate.
Let's look at their claims and see
what legs they have to stand on:
1t is estimated, and the estimate
seems about right, that 1000, 600
pounds of wool were shbrn from
sheep in Idaho this year. Giving
each sheep big fleece, this ought
to find 900, 600 head in Idaho sub
iect to taxation. Not one-third oil
them are returned, thus showing
that all the sheep are moi assessed
at S each under the SO rate.
Then again each sheep on an ay
erage produced this year sl.4t
worth Of wool that, with exception
ally rare instances, is not assessed
at all Thus 81, 400, 900 on thi
score escapes the tax levy altogether
> Then again sheep during tn
summer have been held at SO o
over, head, and if any reductio
is shown its only recently.
Taking all these things into cor
sideration we fail to see where thes
big sheep owners have kick con
i ing. Some of those who are mos
= energetic in their objections to tn
SO rate, were in the last Legislature
and, by their opposition, kept an
> law from being passed chat woul
have compelled foreign sheepme
to pay grazing tax or somethin
= similar, for the privilege Of eatin
e up our ranges.
= The WHO thing can be sized |
as follows: These big fockmastel
: want protection from Uncle Sa
in the shape of tariff on WOO
and they want the best Of it on tt
,e tax proposition, and in return f
o these special privileges they eat Il
i cattle man and farmer out of but
1T ness by forcing him off the range
l. In other words they want the cart
