According to the ruling OF At
torney-Ge Griggs, on the ques-
ton submitted to him by Secretary
Hitchcock in regard to the colIec-
tion Of tribal taxes said to be due
the Chickasaw and Choctw Nations
under Sections 2147 and 2150, in
elusive, of the Revised Statutes of
the United States, the Indian Agent
will no doubt proceed to make the
collections. In this case, either
those parties resisting the collection
of the tax, or the Secretary OF the
Interior, will be comdelled ta shack
down."
Should the law be enforced, and
the men who have bought--and paid
high prices for-residence and bnsi-
ness lots in the towns in those ma
tions, be forced to abandon their
homess, give up their business and
leave their property, will 1t not
have the effect similar to conflscat-
ing their money invested in the In
dian's lands? AT the same tune, it
is presumed that the business men
making such investments knew the
law, and expected in good faith to
abide the law, Notwithstanding the
fact that it is taxation without rep
resenLation. In view q 81 the sur
it seems that q prudent
course to pursue under the circum-
stances would be to pay the tax
under protest, and make united
strong appeal to congress for relief
from such burdcnsome law.
There was at time when such
tax appeared to be within the bounds
Of reason, but since provisions have
been made for Investment of money
in lands within the territory, it
seems only reasonable that those
parties should be required to pay
AK only to municipal government
rs afforded them and their property
And such laws will no
ioubt be provided as soon as the
attention Of Congress is sufficiently
,entered upon this subject.

No more important question TO-
day for those establishing homes In
the Indian Territory to decide is the
fruit question. Horticulture has not
been very interesting subject to
many people, and now they are al d
loss to know how to buy, or what to
buy, or who to buy from. 1t is OF
vital Importance to buy good trees,
stock that is propogated to bear
fruit, and not merely to sell. 1t is
not possible to detect all the defects
In worthless trees until they either
bear fruit, or refuse to bear at all ,
then it is a costly experiment if a
failure. and it takes so long to cor
rect it. You can be morally cer-
tain of the quality of your fruit If
you buy them from men who have
established a reputation in the hor-
tlcultural world, fo- he must suffer
only in greater degree If you suffer
if he sells you worthless trees.
The time is past when scientific
horticulturist remain in obscurity
Obscure nursery men and tree deal
ers have imposed upon the credulity
of the people, and sold them worth
less stuff at exorbitant prices, until
maiy think there are no honest nur-
serymen or salesmen. The we'll in
formed do not think so and are bet
ter prepared 20 protect themselves.
1t is not the fact that you have
bought your trees or paid high
prices for them. or what was told
you by the man who sold them to
you, nor how many times he prom
ised to replace them for you if they
did not prove the value of the tree,
but it is the fruit they bear. Good
fruit can only be grown on good
trees. 1t is a laudable ambition ex-
pressed by every buyer of trees,
that he wants the best for his own
family use.
Now, if he wants the best he can
get the best. How? Buy from men
hat you know to be reliable and
to select such varieties
is are adapted to your soil and eli
nate and purposes. If you want a
market orchard you need differ
mt variety of fruits from what you
would want for family use. If you
ire buying from competent parties
who are honest and have reputation
or fair dealings, then ask them to
Lssist in the selection, or send your
rider through the statesmen to the
man who has grown the
rees you want, and state whether
'ou want 1t for family purposes or
or the market.
The scientific horticulturists de.
ights is nothing more than to have
opportunity to send his own selec-
ions to buyers and protects the in
crest of bothl'and advertises his
took, and makes permanent custo !
ner.
