TRIBAL TAXES.
AttOrneyGeneraI GriggS Gives
Another Opinion.

United States has rendered an
elaborate decision relative to the
collection Of tribal taxes. With
reference to who are required to
pay the tax, and the methods to
be employed it is as follows:
The treaties and laws OF the
United States make all persons,
with few specific exceptions,
who are not citizens of the Indian
nations (natives) or members Of
an Indian tribe, and are found
within an Indian nation without
permission, intruders there, and
I require their removal oy the
United States. This closes the
whole matter, absolutely excludes
all but the accepted classes, and
fully authorizes those nations to
absolutely exclude outsiders, or to
permit their residence or business
upon such terms as they may
choose to impose, and it must be
borne in mind that citizens Of the
7 United States have, as such
no more right or business to be
there than they have in any foreign
nation, and can lawfully be there
at all, only by Indian permission;
and that their right to be or remain
or carry on business there depends
soley upon whether they have such
permission.
As to the power or duty Of your
department in the premises, there
can hardly be doubt. Under the
treaties of the United States with
these Indian nations this govern
ment is under the most solemn OBJ
legation, and for which it has re.
ceived ample consideration. to re-
move and keep removed from the
territory Of these tribes, all this
class of iEtruders who are without
Indian permission. The perform
ance of these obligations, as in
other matters concerning the Indi-
ans and their affairs has long been
devolved upon. the department Of
the interior. This power and duty
are affirmed in the two opinions
referred to, and, as directly in
Maxey vs. Wright, supr. In that
case it was said, on page 812:
upon the whole case we there
fore hold that a lawyer who is a
white man, and not a citizen of the
Greek nation, is, pursuant to their
statutes, required to pay for the
privilege Of remaining and practic-
ing his profession in that nation,
the sum of S25; and if he refuses
the payment thereof, he becomes,
by virtue Of the treaty, an intruder
and that in such cases the govern
ment of the United States may re.
move him from the nation; and
that this duty devolves upon the
Indian department"
And in another place:
"Ws are OF the opinion. how
ever, that the Indian agent, when
directed by the secretary Of the in
terror, may collect this money for
the Creeks. 4 4 + In this case the
Indian egent was acting in strict
accordance with directions and
regulations Of the secretary Of the
interior, in a matter clearly relat-
ing to intercourse with the Indi.
ans"

win tne right 10 use the military
force of the United States
when necessary for its ac-
complishment. And a power of
this court carries with it the duty
Of its exercise.
But as to persons other than pur-
chasers of town or city lots, resid-
ing or carrying on business there
on, no question arises under the
above act Of 1898, and persons who
are pasturing cattle upon, or other
wise occupying part of the public
domain OF these Indian nations
without permission from the Indi-
an authorities are simply intrud-
erS and should be removed, unless
they obtain such permit and pay
the required tax, or permit, or
license fee.
In one Of the questions submit
ted, you ask whether your depart
ment has "authority in case OF a
merchant refusing to pay such tax,
to close his place of business or to |
remove his stock of merchandise
beyond the limits of the nationP"
To this. | answer, your depart
ment may and should remove such
merchant unless he has permit
to reside or remain there; and
close his place of business and his
business, unless he has a permit
to carry 1t on, and in all places
where such permit is required by
law. The question of the right to
remove bis stock of merchandise
beyond thelimits Of the Indian ma
ton is different and more doubtful
one. While he has no right to
remain or carry on business there
without a permit to do so, his
want of right to keep his goods
there or the right Of the depart
ment TO remove them is not so
clear. While the Law excludes
him, and authorizes his removal,
it does not do expressly at least
as to his goods. And, as the whole
evil which is sought to be remedied
is so done by the removal of the
owner and the closing Of his busi-
ness, it is recommended that his
goods be permitted to remain, if
he so desires.
Your question whether the land
of any Indian nation in which a
town or city is situated will cease
to be Indian country, etc., when
the lands in such town or city are
sold, is not one involving any pres
ent existing question, or one that
| am authorized to answer. !
DEPARTMENTS DUTY.
Your last question asks: "What {
is the full scope of the authority {
and duty of the Department Of the l
Interior in the premises under the !
treaties with these nations and the
laws of the United States regulat-
ing trade and intercourse with the
Indians7" :
AS applicable to the case here in 4
hand, which is so far as / am au-
thorized to answer the question, !
and which is also designed as a +.
comprehensive answer to all the
other questions save the one last )
referred to above, it may be said O
generally that the authority and 5
duty Of the Interior Department 3
is, within any of these Indian ma )
tions. to remove all persons Of the
classes forbidden by treaty or law, G
who are there without Indian per- Z
nit or license; to close all busi- 3
ness which required a permit or
license and is being carried on Z
here without one, and to remove !

Carmack Carries Lincoln

Fayetteville, June 2.-The hardest
political battle that old Lincoln has
ever seen was fought to finish today.
The friends of both Carmack and Nc
Millin have been organizing for more
than month. The fight has been a
most interesting and obstinate one and
it has resulted in a glorious victory for
the Carmack forces. Every possible
effort aud all the pressure of some of
the most astute politicians in the state,
together with some of Mr.. McMillin' s
appointees, who have spent a great
deal of time in this county during the
last month or more, has been brought
to bear in his behalf But this Gibral-
tar of Democracy, by the largest vote
ever polled here IN primary, sets its
seal of disapproval on McMillin' s doub-
le-barreled candidacy by vote of near
ly 1900 to 800. The democracy Of
Lincoln condemns in no uncertain way
the attempt to disrupt the party and
endanger its success in this state in
this presidential year by the double.
barrelled candidacy of the man select
ed to lead the fight. The vote in the
county will be over 1900, and Carmack
wins by majority of about $50.

Senatorial Primaries.

The plan proposed to hold senatorial
primaries ON the date of the general
election for county officers, Aug, 2, is
undoubtedly the correct one, The SEN
atorial question is an important one,
but there are other important questions
coming before the legislature, and the
matter of electing a United States SEN
ator should not be allowed to dwarf
them.
A good vote should be polled at the
August election, since all the democrats
who took part in the primaries week
ago will, of course, record their ballots,
and if the primaries are ordered this in
itself will bring out large vote.
1t is the easiest way of settling a
vexed question and it is the democratic
way. A senatorial primary is the next
thing to electing a United States sena-
tor directly by the people. This ques-
ton out of the way, the Legislative
ticket will be selected solely with refer
ence to the fitness of candidates fol-
legislative service.

BAILEY VS.. GROSVENoR.
Texas Congressman Reads Riot Act to Re
publicans.

Texas Congressman Reads Riot Act to Re-
publicans.
Washington, June /, In the anti
trust debate in the house yesterday
Mr., Bailey's reply to Mr.. Grosvenor
was one of the best hits yet made Nc.
Grosvenor CO., followed Mr.. Richard
son.
"Why do we not allow amendments
to be offered?" he said. "Our justifca-
ton is perfect one. This is propo-
sion of the majority. We will be held
responsible. You can either approve it,
or go ON record againstit. Republican
applause
Mr., Bailey (Texas) replied to Mr.,
Grosvenor.
"You have no real purpose to dis
solve or destroy trusts" said he, adj
dressing the republican side. "You
haye been in session six months, but it
is not until six days before adjourn
ment that you let this question come
up. No one dare stand here and de-
clare seriously on his honor that he ex-
! poets either the bill or resolution to be
acted upou by the senate at this session.
The constitutional amendment, you
know, will never become part of the
constitution. 1t can never be ratified
by enough states. No state that be-
lieves in the right of self-government
will place in congress- the power to
come into q state and control its demes-
tic industries. The trusts understand
they are not in the remotest danger
from this legislation. If you would
propose simple amendment giving
control of all organizations engaged in
interstate and foreign commerce it
would receive every vote this side of the
chancery.
"There are two ways of encouraging
crime-one is to close your eyes to its
existence, and another to offer an i'm,
practicable obstacle.
Mr.. Bailey's concluding sentence
was greeted with prolonged democratic
applause, in which some of the repub-
licans joined.

Here are few of the things that

study of between now and election
day:
The Alger embalmed beef scandal.
The financial collision between John
D. Rockefeller and Secretary Gage,
The tariff oppression of the Porto
Ricans.
The United States army outrages OF
the Cour d'Alene miners, authorized
by William Mckinley.
Thefts, murder and mismanagemeni
in the Philippines.
Postoffice rascality and embezzle-
ment in Cuba.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, by which
we are to build an Isthmian canal while
England commands it.
Tattooed and daubed with such q
damning record, the republican party
will find its platform a very minor con-
sideration with the people.

Representative DeArmond, of Mis-
souri,, told the republicans some disa-
greeable truths in his speech against
their make believe proposition for a
constitutional amendment authorizing
congress to control trusts, which was
defeated by democratic votes. After
telling them that the proposed amend
ment bore upon its face irrefutable
evidence that it was not intended to be
placed in the constitution to control
trusts, but to be placed in the cam
paign to delude voters, Mr.. DeArmond
said: go what chapter of your repub-
lican performances can you turn and
hope for approval from the people? |
do not chide you for trying last des-
perat9 effort as final resource to get
something out of this amendment. If
you get anything out of it, it will be
because the American people are far
more stupid than think they are, and
because delusion is much more attrac-
tive to them than plain conduct and
honest acts. Can there be anything in
the proposition that because you label
this antitrust, we shall not look be-
yond the label? You have labeled
many things other than they are.
There is not package of your politi-
cal nostrums that will bear inspection.
1t may be taken by label, but it cannot
be by sample, much less by tests OF
reasonable quantities. The power of
the people to meet and overcome trusts
would be less if this amendment were
in the constitution, than it is today.
