State board of sheep commissioners debates wool tariff and policing
Helena Dec 19 The state board of sheep commissioners in session for two days urged Congress to set a scoured wool duty instead of a percentage tax arguing it protects wool growers from underassessment. They propose laws to track stray bands and require herd reports to owners and brand records to curb disease, fraud, and bounties while endorsing Knowles for reappointment and seeking funds for mange control and mutton promotion.
