Full Text
The section of the statute which provides that stock shall be assessed in the county where the home range is situated would seem to give the Carbon county sheepmen the best of the argument. If the sheep were owned by non-residents of the state there would be no question about Sweetwater county being entitled to collect taxes for the portion of the year which the stock is ranged in that county, but being the property of residents and taxes being paid thereon in this state, it is extremely doubtful if the courts would say that Sweetwater county is entitled to any portion of the taxes.
