Cattle and Sheep Tax Increases Rejected in Montana
In Helena on August 27 Montana officials decided not to raise taxes on cattle and sheep as proposed. Protestors from the cattle and wool industries argued the dry season and hay shortages already squeezed farmers and that other taxpayers were not facing increases. Chairman J H Stewart explained the plan aimed to equalize industry taxes, noting current values reflected minimums set last January by assessors and had become de facto maximums in practice. Montana Wool Growers and Stock Growers associations led the opposition.
