FRIDAY, JANUARY 80, 1931. Legislative News State Grange Service Meat Tags and License 1- Condemnation of the 1929 law governing the transporta tion and sale of meat by farm er producers is reflected" in sen ate bill number 40 sponsored by Senators Bennett and Brown. By the provisions of this bill the former act is repealed and its obnoxious features generally el iminated. Under the new law farmers and other bonafide producers may kill, transport and sell food animals and food animal car casses including poultry without tag or license. Bonafide meat dealers may do likewise unramp- ered by delays and red tape. Itinerant meat peddlers are required, under this act, to ob tain tags and license in order to ply their trade. By bonafide meat dealers is meant persons, firms or corpor ations maintaining a regular place or places of business. Bona fide producers means those who actually produce the food ani mals or food animal carcasses. 2- House bill number 4 by Tompkins and Chindgren provid ed that in the transportation and sale of food animals or food animal carcasses the producer and seller shall make use of iden tification tags but need not ob tain license for transportation or sale. Market Road Tax A measure introduced by Sen ator Kiddle seeks repeal of the one-mill market road tax and substitute for a portion of the gasoline tax. Its object ia to reduce taxes on real property to the extent of two mills on the dollar assessed valuation or over $1,000,000 on real estate (the county matches the one mill state levy for market roads.) Provision is made in this bill for the allocation of an amount of money from the general high way fund equal to the amount of the one mill tax repealed, to the market road fund. County courts would be granted the applica tion of this allocated fund to market roads under their juris diction in the same manner as at present. According to the state budget report submitted to the legis lature during the current bi ennium and of this huge sum $13,000,000 is for capital out lay including new projects. Con sequently, there is current feel ing that this body should not oppose this measure.
