Tho live stock men, realising the rapidly decreasing aroA of public grasing lands, have caused many laws to lie onnoted. Some of these have heou found unconstitutional. unconstitu-tional. Hardly any two of thorn nto alike, and all appear to provo a source of difficulty to tho lik-o stock industry indus-try mid of friction between states. Muny of tho laws nro of retaliatory : nature. Ilniloy lias rocaivud from Kdgerton a copy of a decision by tho Montana supreme etart, which declared the Montana Inw on migratory live stock unconstitutional. The Montana law attempted to make subject to taxes for n whole year livo stock brought into tho state for grazing purpose for nny portion of n year, Under the Montana law governing other personal per-sonal property, personal property brought into tho state up to March 1st is taxable. Property brought in nt a Inter date escapes taxation fori -eji thnt year.
