These latter belong TO a new class
Of aerial gymnasts, known as perch
performers. They have created n
tremendous sensation in the hippo

dizzy heights and upon such slender

seems almost impossible for the per-

to make mine if possible
For years different parties have

Attorney General Thatcher
Decides Important Law Points

timatcd expenses OF conducting pub
next ensuing fiscal year, and that
having made such a budget it is the
absolute duty of the board Of coun-
ty commissioners to keep within the
aggregate amount designated in the
budget; and further, that the tax rate
shall be such as to raise the amount
OF money necessary to return the
amount of the budget and no more.
Section 1920 of the Revised Law
provides:
THE commissioners shall, between
the first Monday in January and the
first Monday in March, make a bud
get of the expenses of conducting
the public business OF said county
tor the next ensuing year. The bud
get shall be prepared in such detail
as to the aggregate sum and the
items thereof as the commits sioners
shall deem advisable After the final
estimate is made in accordance here
with it shall be signed by the ma
jority of the commits siOners and the
county clerk, and the several sums
shall then be appropriated for the
ensuing fiscal year to the several
purposes therein named. The esti-
mate shall be filed in the office OF

makes it the mandatory duty of the
board of county commissioners to

Will Move Sheep
to Pastures New

John Uhart one OF the local sheep
owners OF this section, is wearing a
smile as result of the present
storm. He has been wanting to
move his sheep to the section about
Rawhide. where there is good feed,
but owing to lack of snow the trip
has been postponed. The present
storm assures water for the sheep
and they will be moved to the feed.
While the bunch grass grows in
quantity in many of the sections OF
the state, yet the lack of water has
kept the sheep and cattlemen from
taking advantage Of this best of ma
tive grasses. Thousands of acres of
such feed will be available since the
snow has covered the ground. The
storm seems to be welcomed by all
classes of industry.

Attorney General Thatcher yester
day rendered and submitted to the
various county commissioners of the
state an opinion covering the control
of the revenue system OF the state
by the Tax commission, in which he
gives it as his Judgment that county
commissioners must between certain
dates prepare tax budget to cover
the expenses of the year, and that
having made such budget they must
keep within its limits. If through
delinquencics. however, counties tail
to collect sufficient money to meet
expenses. the statutes, which he
quotes, points out the way the mon
ey can be raised. The decision is as
follows:

same, has general supervision and

confer and advise with the assessors
and county boards OF equalization.
|, therefore, deem it advisable to
call me attention of your commits
sion to certain matters with refer
ence to county revenue, taxation and
county government
| am of the opinion that under
the law as it stands at the present
time the counties of this state are
bound to follow budget system
and it is the duty of the board OF
county commissioners between the
first Monday in January and the first
Monday in March Of each year tc
make budget of the amount of es.

I it is hereby made the duty OF such
board of county commissioners to
Immediately meet and either reduce
or raise the rate of taxation, SO pre-
viously levied, to such sum as such
,, board in its judgment may consider
sufficient to insure the collection of
such an amount of revenue as will
answer all the requirements of such
county for the current year"
From the foregoing section ii
clearly appears that it is the manda
commissioners, if after equalization.
it appears that the levy previously
made will result in the collection of
revenue in excess or deficiency of
the requirements of the county for
the current year, to raise or lower
the tax rate. | am clearly of the
opinion from the foregoing sections
that it is the absolute duty of the
board OF county commissioners, once
having fixed the amount of the bud
get, to fix the tax rate at such
rate as will raise the amount of the
budget and no more, of course leav
ing a reasonable margin to insure
the collection of the amount owing
to the possibility of delinquencies.
Therefore, if after equalization by
the board of county commissioners
and the tax commission at their re-
speCtive meetings in October, there
shall be raise in the assessed valu-
alton, [ am Of the opinion that it is
the mandatory duty of the board of
county commissioners to CORES
pCndingly reduce the county rate.
