commissioners was the first speaker at
| the forenoon session Mr.. Anderson
brought the cheerful intelligence that the
| flocks in Utah were practically free from
disease. There were only three cases
OF scabcs, he said, and ticks were
virtually eradicsted.
One million six hundred thousand sheep
were dipped in the past year. said Mr..
Anderson, according to the records OF
the board. This was n decrease OF about
25 per cent from the number dipped
last year. the falling off being largely
due 10 tho fact that the sheep indus
try was in a. state of depression and
much OF the stock had been hurried off
TO market
Mr.. Anderson said he thought it would

Mr.. Anderson, would prevent crowd!ng

hearty cooperation with the state board
Mr.. Anderson also said that Inc had
found the woolgrowers OF the state gen
orally willing and eager TO cooperate
with the state board.
Mr.. Anderson declared that II was the
policy Of the board 10 bring prosecutions

failed. He said the board believed that
the laws should be administered by CO.
operation rather than by force.

McAllister Is Heard,

James Il. McAllister, prominent
sbeepmau and member of the state
board of equalization, set forth some
interesting facts and figures regarding
tho taxation question. He mentioned
that be spoke not as a member OF the
board. but as n woolgrower. Cattle, he
stated, arc assessed at 20 per cent OF
their number; horses ut IL per cent.
and sheep at 20 per cent of the actual
number and nearly 100 per cent value.
Cattle arc assessed at 50 per cent Of
the value. This discrimination may ho
overcome by the separate assessment of
the lambs of the bIooJcd and stock
sheep.
