Washington. Jan. 12.-The bill intro,
duced by Congressman Little of Arkaa-
sas, member OF the house committee
on Indian Affairs TO abolish the taxes
impOsedby the tribal governments Of
the Indian territory upon non citizens,
bids fair to become one Of the most .m-
portant pieces Of Indian territory log
islatiOn TO be attempted this session.
It Is understood that simila~ bill VIII
be introduced in the senate by Senator
Pettigrew In a few days and that a
determined effort TO have the Indian
affairs. committees fthe TWO houses
report upon the bill Is to be made. It
may be expected that the proposed leg
lation will be fought hard by the Five
Tribes OF the territory.
Under the Curtis law for the protec-
tion OF the people OF the Indian terri
tory, all tribal laws not expressly re-
pealed were TO remain in force aud ef
feet. Among the tribal laws which was
left operative by this provision, were
laws imposing upon citizens Of the Uni
ted states residing In the territory. tax
es Of various kinds for the privilege
OF uOlnB business IN the lnuldn NeI-A-
tory. There is a tax on merchants, a
tax on doctors, "a tax on lawyers. tax
on labMers, and others too numerous
to mention. II is these taxes which It
r. now sought TO repeal.
Under the old system OF government
In the territory these taxes We're COLI
lected by officials appointed by differ
net tribal governments. That Is they
We're supposed 10 be collected, but as
matter OF fact owing TO the corrup-
tion existing among tribal officers "A
very small part OF such taxes were ever
collected OF acco ntli for. AT the last
session OF congress n amendmen: was
secured 80 the Indian bin by which
the authority TO collect these tribal tax
es for the benefit Of the tribe vested In
the United States government Since
the government has had charge OF the
collections they are being properly
made, and those upon who mthey bear
are olamorlng for their repeal on the
ground that they are unjust.

retary Taylor of the treasury depart
ment told the house committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds today, that
the supervisory architects office was
much hampered because OF an advance

Moreover the cost OF sites had also
risen. There are about 1870 public build

ing appropriations Of $4,000. 900. While
no formal action was taken. the senti-
ment OF the committee appeared to be
