TAX LEVY ON SHEEP
LEGAL, IS OPINION

PHOEEK. May QUESTION hav
ing been raised as TO the validity Or
regularity of the act OF the legisla-
ture imposing tax on sheep for the
use OF the sheep sanitary commission
combating scabies, an opinion by As
sistant Attorney General Louis B.
Whitney assumes the law 10 be oper-
alive. II was the contention of tie
tax commission that authority was
not given it By the act TO levy the
tax, and further question was rails
ed as to the constitutionaIi;y OF the
act
II is the policy of the attorney gen
erals Office, said the opinion. to as
sumo that all legislative acts are con-
stitutional until they are declared 10
be otherwise by the supreme court
II the bill is constitutional the levy
can be made as provided herein. The
opinion further states:
The state tax commission acting
as the state board of equalization
must at the reques. of the sheep san
lar, commission make the levy pro-
vided for in Section I OF said senate
bill No. 4s. and certify the same to
the several boards Of supervisors 20
be collected as other taxes. There
is nothing in the constitution that
would prevent the state tax commits
sion from making the levy as con-
templated by the BILL
The rest Of the opinion is review
of the manner in which the funds so
raised must be acquired and expended
by the sheep sanitary commission.

The Benson delegates asked that
the Tucson Chamber of Commerce go
on record as favoring a connection
with Cochise county via Benson in
stead of the Borderlan1 highway con
nection through the Empire ranch

the fact that when the meeting OF

E. Paso two years ago and considered
the routing from FL Paso il was de-
cided that each county should decide
for itself where it would deliver the
road 10 the next county and that there
should be no interference with such
routing. In view OF this. he did not
believe Pima county could 60 on rec.

are under way in Coconino. Pima and
Maricopa counties to separate Yava-
pal from approximately $1.150.00o. As
an entering wedge. Coconino is ar
ranging TO bring suit against this coun-
ty for sl5o.Ooo.
The movement was launched at
Phoenix recently at quiet conference
between representatives OF the three
counties. {. B. wilson. OF Coconino
county is said TO have been chosen to
draw up a plan OF action which will
be submitted TO the representatives
OF the complainant; districts for ap-
prevail Once the procedure is sane
toned, litigation will be commences
Immediately. though in all probability,
at leas; a year VAL e,apse before the
suit is brought 10 trial.
The basis for the litigation dates
back TO the time Coconino was ere
ated out OF Yavapai county. At this
time, the former county assumed
$l5o.00o Indebtedness in form OF rail
way bonds on which interest has been
kept up 10 the present time. covering
long span OF years. Later. the gov
erlment gave the state a grant OF
land to be sold, the proceeds TO be
used to wipe out this indebtedness
At least that is the understanding the
legal representative of Coconino has
Yavapai received this money which
was expended for other purposes
Pima and Mar;copa counties enter
tain the belief that they should have
shared in the profit accruing from
the disposal OF The tract, and Coco
