President Reid was the only mem
Der of the commission present who
voted against confirmation of the tel
tative raise on grazing lands. He pro-
posed that the values be equalized
among the counties, but that no raise
in total valuation be made, on the
ground that big percentages of sheep.
cattle, merchandise and other per-
sonal property were escaping taxa
ton, and that any general raise would
make grazing land pay a greater pro-
portion than several other classes OF
property.
