No Chance for CattIemen to Evade
Taxation in Lyon County.
Emporia. April 20.-Thousands OF
cattle that have grazed upon the hills
of Lyon, Greenwood and Chase coun-
ties in past years. have escaped tax
alton.
This was the statement made by
County Assessor w. L. Spencer. This
year." said Mr.. Spencer, I'VE are TAX
ing every precaution to see that the
cattle brought into this county are
taxed" Cattle from western Kansas,
Colorado and Oklahoma are brought
here to pasture. Some Of them, ac-
cording to the tax officers, were taxed
before being brought to Lyon county,
but the majority of the cattle are
never taxed.
This year It is Mt. Spencer's plan
to list these cattle for taxation, and
the taxes will be collected unless the
owner can show receipts from anoth-
er county where he has paid taxes.
The law specifies that the owner
shall pay taxes for the property he
possesses on March 1, and many cat
tlemen attempt to elude the assessors
by saying that they did not own their
cattle on March 1. The taxes from
several thousand additional cattle in
Lyon county's treasury, will make a
noticeable increase.
