The article analyzes the taxation system, the public responsibility to build and repair roads, the obligation to provide carts for governmental needs and other permanent and temporary duties. The peculiarities of regulating the life of the population by the command of the Bashkir-Meshcheryak army and the cantonal administration are studied.
