The collection of tribal revenues
is still bone OF .cont,nlion in the
Cherokee nation. There was
never any doubt as to the justice
Of saving TO the Indians their rev.
enues, but the law that is not uni.
formely enforced becomes a dead
letter by common consent. No
one class of citizens should be
made to pay the tax while others
are immune. A law that does not
bear equally upon the people
ought to be repealed. But this
trouble is perhaps with those who
are entrusted with its enforcement.
