Sometimes, they report, they have the misfortune to loses herd or two, and then trouble begins to find out where the sheep are. However, the trouble Is expected to be Intensified when some county finds that It has not been credited with taxes on transient livestock which by rights should go to that county. The occupation of herdsmen, on paper, is a pew one to the state board of equalisation and the young women employed by tt tu transact the office work.' it was Imposed by the last legislature, when it passed a law with regard to the taxation of transient livestock. This provided that the county assessor In the county where a herd of sheep or of rattle, or other animate, happened to be about the first of tho year, should assess and. If necessary, collect the taxes on the livestock. The owner, In transferring the sheep to another county. Is required under the taw to make out a graxing certificate, giving the date on which the sheep were moved to another county. The process I to be kept Lp by the transient livestock taowners for the remainder of the year. It made the duty of the county assessors to see that the owners fill out the grazing cer, tificates. In December, when all taxes on transient livestock have been collected. It becomes the duty of the county treasurer tn the county collecting the tax to pay the money over to the state treasurer. He reports to Ihe state board of equalization, which assembles the grazing certificates forwarded to it, computes the number of days; tax going to each county, and directs the state treasurer to withhold the state's portion of ths tax and to distribute the remainder among the counties In the proportion of the number of days the sheep or cattle or other livestock were grazed tn such counties during the year. The county collecting the tax Is permitted to withhold the cost of assessing and collecting, not to exceed S per cent of the tax. Such Is the plan on paper. However. Mlae Preece and her helpers find that sheep or cattle sometimes become lost. A herd grazed in three counties successively wilt be reported from the first and the third, but not from tlie second. .Sometimes the herd disappears, will leave one county and not be reported from the county to which It wae supposed to have gone Miss Preece can see that tho work of herding aheep Is no mean task when It Is done on paper, and she Is writing appeals to the county assessors to get their records straight. Otherwise, she says, some counties will find themselves without taxes that rightfully belong to them, while still other counties will have more taxes than they should have from transient livestock. 4 Edward Benjamin Critchlow, one of the best known attorneys In Utah, died yesterday at his home, 430 Seventh East street, Salt Lake, Mr, Critchlow was a victim of heart disease and succumbed Sixteen hours after an attack, panning awajr at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
