GREAT INCREASE IN
TAXABLE PROPERTY

TAXABLE PROPERTY.
Under the provisions of the several
treaties with the tribes OF Indian ter
ritory the tribal funds are to be dis
tributed per capita among the mem
bers Of tn tribes
Also the re idue Of lands lett after
allotment together with the mineral
lands and town lots, are to be sold
and the proceeds distributed
All these vast sums dlfficg!t to
properly estimate in detail but ag-
gregating no less than $4,000, 900
become at once personal property in
the hands Of the Indians and as such
subject to taxation as other personal
property
Another important consideration Is
that whenever the Indian allotments
are disposed of persons outside the
territory not only does the land be.
come subject to taxation but the pro-
eeeds of the sale become taxable in
the hands OF the Indians Thus It
will readily be seen how really I'm
mense is the wealth that must and
will pour into the Indian territory In
the immediate future and how utter
ly unfoinded is all this campaign
contention about the urpreparedness
of Indian territory for statehood with
Oklahoma.
