Untaxed Indian Lands.

Under the federal laws granting
Indians individual possession of the
lands selected and occupied as
homesteads by them their lands
have been specially exempted from
taxation This exemption works
great injustice and hardship on the
local governments that are charged
with maintaining courts and of
ticials, constructing roads and
bridges and otherwise providing
public facilities that are required
and enjoyed by untaxed Indians
equally with heavily taxed whites.
This injustice is now being con-
sidered by congress, and the senate
has just passed a bill to remedy the
wrong by authorizing the payment
of taxes by the general government
on these exempted land that are
held by Indians in serveralty. Nez
Perce county is peculiarly interested
in the measure, as very large part
of her agricultural area is so held
by Indians and will be for the next
twenty-three years. During the own
ership by the government of the
Nez Perez reservation no effort was
made to provide publicconveniences
of travel and transportation and
this expense now falls wholly on
the county government. The Indian
lands that are benefited and APP
preciated by these public improve
ments pay nothing whatever toward
the cost, and the already overbnr-
dened taxpayers are called upon to
stand the whole bill. Under the cir
cumstances it will be but right and
timely for the national government
to relieve the local taxpayesr of the
excessive load that has been laid up
On them by favoring the Indian
wards.-Lewiston Tribune.
