Wyoming Boards Hike Livestock Valuations for 1918
The state board of equalization announced higher taxable valuations for livestock in Wyoming for 1918, aiming to raise millions in income. Increases reach 100 percent for sheep and up to 400 dollars for purebred horses, with schedules set for bulls, cattle, cows, sheep, horses, mules, and pigs reflecting recent price surges. The board expects the higher values to shift tax burden but possibly lower overall tax rates.
