\ Men don't like to have their ar
guments answered nor their errors
pointed out. Some men don't like
TO be told which crowd they be-
long to. Just now notice is being
given throughout the Cherokee ma
tion that all physicians must COM
ply with the law. We have no
objection to this, in fact are in
favor oft, but some Of these same
physicians who are urging the en-
forcement of this tribal law are
mad because the cattlemen are
asked to pay. 1t were well to be
consistent in few things at least.
From certain quarters comes the
clamor for the repeal of the rev.
enue laws of the Cherokee nation.
Can anyone give a good reason
why these laws should be repeal
ed? Why should the only source
Of home revenues be cut eff 1sit
because the coal, hay, grazing
privileges, ETC., are worthless?
Certainly that cannot be urged.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-10-21

There is nothing unreasonable
or unjust in the demands being
made by agents of the interior
department for payment Of taxes.
The cattlemen of the Cherokee
nation have scarcely claimed that
it was unjust; they simply get mad
at the press for taking the position
that the United States government
should deal fairly with the Indian
tribes in this territory. They have
managed to beat the Cherokee ma
tion out of all the taxes due from
the importation of cattle for the
last six or seven years, and want
to continue TO beat it. The
hay dealer, the coal dealer, the
merchants and others are paying
without much grumbling and we
see no good reason why Che cattle
men should not also pay. And they
will eventually have to pay and
they might as well look pleasant.
