THE TRIBAL TAX.
Attitude of Cherokees ReIa-
tive to Tribal Taxes.

The attitude Of many Cherokee
citizens relative to the collection
Of tribal taxes may not be fully
understood. The Cherokees are
not opposed to the collection Of
the revenues due the tribe, but the
manner in which collections are
made, together with the DETECTION
OF the money from the Cherokee
treasury into the pockets of United
States government officials con-
stitute the basis of their opposi-
tion. Under the laws Of the Cher
okee nation the treasurer OF the
nation is the proper person to
make such collection. The Office
OF treasurer has not been abolished
by the Curtis act, nor any other
act OF congress. No statement
has ever been rendered as TO the
amount Of tax collected, and of the
amount used in paying the salar-
les of the inspectors. Grave
doubts have entered the minds Of
many as to whether any of the
vast amount of the Cherokee rev.
enue collected has ever reached
the Cherokee treasury or ever will |
reach the Cherokee people. There
are over four hundred merchants
in the Cherokee nation doing bus
mess and most of them have paid
their tax. When the hay tax and
The cattle, coal and other taxes
have been added the amount col
lected must be very large, but no
statement has been made and
40 one outside these officials know
about it.
