S2E22 The Tax Collector

Title: The Tax Collector Plot: Hoss shows generosity to the lazy Jock Henry, but his goodwill backfires when Henry takes on the role of assistant assessor. In a shocking turn of events, he dramatically increases the Ponderosa's yearly tax obligation from $375 to a staggering $1700, leaving Hoss and the family reeling from the unexpected burden.
