Tax imposed. An annual excise tax is hereby levied on such handling of grain in the amount hereinafter provided. All grain so handled shall be exempt from all taxation as property under the laws of this state. The amount of such excise tax shall be a sum equal to one-fourth mill per bushel upon all grain as herein defined so handled. 3. Statement filing form. Every person engaged in handling grain shall, on the first day of January of each year and not later than sixty days thereafter, make and file with the assessor a statement of the number of bushels of grain handled by the person in that district during the year immediately preceding, or the part thereof, during which the person was engaged in handling grain; and on demand the assessor shall have the right to inspect all such person’s records thereof.
