THEIR PROPERTY TAXABLE.
Oklahoma Jurist Makes An Important De- cision, Which Affects Uncle Sam's
 Indian Wards.

At Fl Reno, Judge Irwin has decided an interesting point regarding the property of Indians who are wards of the government. It is, according to the opinion rendered, subject to local taxation.
 There are a large number of Indians having allomenis in Canadian county, from whom taxes are not collected From some of them Sheriff Canon made an effort to collect. and an injunction was filed to restrain the officer. John Otterby, an Indian, was plaintiff in the case.
 The decision was as follows:
 After careful examination of all au- thOrities at hand, the court is of the opinion that articles such as farm implements, furniture, etc., purchased by the government and issued to the Indians, and the increase of said stock while in use by said Indians, and all necessary articles of personal property furnished by the government such as household furniture, farm machinery, fence wire, seed and things necessary to work and carry on their allotment. furnished to the said Indians by the government, are not subject to taxa tion. Such property belongs to the United States. The only property the Indians have in it is the right to use it. Such property is not absolute own ership. They have no power of aliena- tiOn. But, as to property acquired in any other way by the Indians, or as to
The Coconino sun., 1899-06-24

any property in which they have the absolute ownership and the right to alienate, sell or exchange, such proper ty is subject to be listed and taxed the same as the property of a whise man, but in these cases the burden of the proof goes to show that the property listed and taxed was in the class here in exempt, and was derived in the manner spedifed-tO-wit: From the United States government-is upon the plaintiff, and in this case they have failed to establish that fact to the satis- faction of the court In fact, there is no evidence in the case that would wal rant the court in saying that the title to this property was derived by the said Indians from the United States government, or, in fact, to show how or from what source, they derived this title. They are found in possession of this property. Their possession is pre- sumptive evidence of ownership. There is no evidence introduced, or, as weare informed by counsel for plaintiff, that can be introduced in these cases to show where or from what source they derived title, or to in any way bring the property in question within the ex- emptiOn from taxation herein described by the court. Hence, the plaintiffs must fail in their contention. The tax levy must be retained, the temporary order dissolved, and the perpetual in- junction denied.

 Having been entrusted with the exc cution of the office of state wine in- spector, the purpose of which is to in- sure the purity of all wines grown and sold in our state, I desire to announce that it is my sworn duty and intention to enforce to the letter the law on this subject, and to push with energy the prosecution of any one violating its pro- visions. And with the desire to provide as far as possible against unintentional violations, with special reference to our berry growers, some of whom may con- template making their surplus berries into wine, will state for their infor- nation that the addition of water to the fruit or juice of grapes or berries is an adulteration and punishable by a minimum fine of s10O, as is also the ad- dition of whisky, brandy or alcohol in any form whatever, and that a chemical analysis of the wine so prepared will reveal the adulteration. quiet but systematic surveillance will be exer- cised by the inspector and his agents throughout the state, and no grower can know at what moment his product will be made the subject of an investi- gation and analysis, and that, there fore, the only safety lies in a com- pliance with the law"
