Taxation of Transient Herds.
At a meeting of owners of
transient herds of sheep held in
the office of the State Tax Com
mission at Phoenix on April 5th,
thirty prominent wool growers
unanimously passed the following
resolution:
We, the undersigned owners of
transient herds q! sheep, being
notified that the State Tax Com
mission intends to enforce the
making of affidavits by such
sheepmen in the State, and after
due consideration and investiga
tion of the whole subject, during
which it was ascertained that a
large number of affidavits have
not been made-through one cause
or another and being informed
by the Tax Commission that up
on the making oi airidavits oy
the sheepmen the Commission
will enforce the distribution of
the taxes to the counties entitled
thereto by the several county
treasurers charged with the re
sponsibility of making the distri
bution, do each and all of us ex
press our willingness and inten-
tention of making the affidavits
as required by law and our entire
approval of the action of the Tax
Commission in its efforts to solve
this problem.
During the conference held in
January with the County Assess
ors it was brought to the atten
tion of the Tax Commission that
Maricopa, Piial and Yavapai
counties were not receiving their
just proportion of transient herd
taxes.
The law provides that owners
of transient herds shall, when
paying their taxes, make affidavit
showing the number of head of
livestock and the period such live
stock have ranged during the
calendar year in the different
counties. The county treasurer
is then required to immediately
transmit copy of the affidavit and
the taxes belonging to other coun
ties to the state treasurer, who,
in turn, properly apportions the
money so collected to the coun
ties entitled thereto.
The Tax Commission has under
taken to see that these laws are
strictly enforced and an equitable
distribution made of the taxes
collected, and with this in view
issued a call for the above" men
tioned meeting.
Constipation and Indigestion.
These are twin evils. Persons
suffering from indigestion are
often troubled with constipation.
Mrs. Robert Allison, Mattoon, 111.
writes tht when she first moved
to Mattoon she was a great suf
ferer from indigestion and consti
pation . Food distressed her and
there was a feeling like a heavy
weight pressing on her stomach
and chest. She did not rest well
at night, and felt worn out a good
part of the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain's Tablets corrected
this trouble so that she has since
felt like a different person. Adv.

Nature Cures. The Doctor Takes the Fee
There is ah old saying that
"Nature cures, the docr.er takes
the fee", but as everyoue knows
you can help Nature very much
and thereby enable it to effect a
cure in much less time than is
usually required. This is parti
cularly true of colds. Chamber

lungs, liquifies the tongue mucus j
and aids in its expectoration, i
allays the cough and aids Nature
in restoring the system to a;
