The supreme court of the United
States has held that live stock in transit
cannot be taxed, the question coming
up in a case from Wyoming. The next
question, however. will be as to what
constitutes live stock in transit. In this
instance the animals consisted of sheep
driven through the state, consuming six.
weeks for the passage. If the sheep had
tarried for six months would they still
have been exempt as live stock in tran
sit? Viewed from a wide enough per
spective, all live stock is in transit to
the market from the time feeding be-
gins, but 1t is ordinarily subject to tax
alton where 1t happens to be held: A
live stock highway is conceivable with
a steady stream Of traffic all constantly
In transit, yet with a proportionate
amount constantly within each taxing
district, but to contend for complete tax
exemption would be absurd.
