Your attsutloa, Jmwever, 18 called to Opinion
No. O-3aOl of this departmeat. In thst o lnlon us were
ooaosxnsd with a teat situation where an 4ndlrldual used
a truok not only to haul hls own aattle froa hle 05x1ranoh
but also to haul aattlo whloh he purabesed troi%others to
ma*st. In amwar to the qusatlon of whsther or not Arti-
al8 e675a-oa authorlzrd auoh lndlvldual to so oparats with
odly a tam lloanas cn.hls motor vshlols this dapartmsnt
ruled as follower
WA both of the oeaaa ou submit in your
flrst'two uestlons the InIIf rldual is not using
a ‘aonmero Pal motor vshlala* (aa def'lnsdby the
Leglslhturs) ohly In the transportation cf his
own poultry, dairy liyestook and farm produx
tomarks t . ii8 IS using aaia~ for the transporta-
tion of produots that ha purchases iron others
also. It Is apparsnt that ths Individual in
eithsr aaao you outline should not be entitled
to the reduoed lloan5s roe as prescribed in th5
above quoted Artiols.
"In line with the above reasoningthis de-
partment ruled In Opinionh'o.O-587 aa followa:
w``zeare of the oplnlon, therefore, that
ths benefit5 of the Artiale eoorus only to a
paraon who tramports hle oxn products to market
or other points for'salb or prooessl&, and 1s
not ror the bensrlt or a person,as lndlcatsd In
your Inquiry that would be tralps~oftln3producta
purchaasd from another farmer .'
*It Is the opinion of~thlsdspartmmt, there-
rore, that the lndivlduals nentlonsd In your ques-
tions one and two would not be entitled to the SO$
reduction on iarm tNCk llosnmee aa defined In
krtlole 66754434, 5upra."
we belleve that the lndlvldual who leases a ranoh

out leeming the land would be in the nnmmporitlon aa the
octtle treder who puroheee~ aattle from othsrr and hauls mm

that the Individual who purshames timber from others or rho
leearesland for thr sola purpose of remcvlng timber there-
fram would not be entitled tc the *faflD lioenee" provfdod
