Show STATE BOUNTY FUND EXHAUSTED Inquiry at state offices discloses dis-closes that there is little likelihood likeli-hood that the state bounty fund will be opened again in the near future, and that probably the state will pay no more bounties until next September if it does then. The bounty fund is supported support-ed by taxes on range sheep and cattle, based on their valuation. As the valuation has dropped so materially, and there is in addition, considerable tax delinquency delin-quency among livestock owners, the revenues of the fund have been light. During the two day season that the fund was open recently, recent-ly, bounty certificates totaling about $13,000 were paid out of the fund. |
