the custom to give the farmer the
benefit Of the doubt and place him in
the same class as the elevator COM
pany. This means that all grain on
hand April list held by farmers is sub
ject to the tax provided by Section
2256 and if there are any other grains
besides those enumerated therein, the
same should be taxed according to it's
value. There is nothing in the law
which provides for the reduction for
seed and feed. The law provides that
everything of value shall be taxable
as Of April LIST in each year. We be-

be assessed and if any reduction can be
made for seed grains or feed.
In reply thereto we beg to call your
attention to Section 2256, Compiled
Laws Of 1918, which provides as fol-
lows: "All grain grown within the
the state and held therein in elevators,
warehouses and granaries shall be tax
at a fxer rate as follows. Flax at
the rate Of IL of 1c per bushel; wheat
at the rate Of 3-8 Of 1c per bushel; and
oats, barley, corn, speltz and rye each
at the rate Of 1-8 Of 1c per bushel."
Section 2257 provides for the taxing of
all other grains than above enumerat-
ed and that the same shall be taxed
according to it's value.
The same question has been raised
as to whether or not Section 1856 ap-
plies to grain on hand in the elevators
