THE TRIBAL TAX QUESTION.
Argument in the injunction Case Now
In Progress.

The cattle tax injunction case came
up for hearing in the federal court
yesterday afternoon.
This is the case wherein the secreta.
ry OF the interior, the Indian agent,
the Indian police and other subordi
mates we're restrained from enforcing
the tribal tax on stock at twenty-five
cents head.
w o. Davis. who represents the
cattle men, is fighting the case while
the prosecuting attorney and national
attorneys ere representing the Chick
asaw and Choctaw tribes
In asking the court to make the tenn
porary injunction perpetual Mr. Davis
contended that the tribe has no juris-
diction or control; that the payment of
the twenty-five cents a head on stock
would confer upon the stock men no
right to either grass or water for their
cattle and horses in the Territory, and
that the demand for said twenty-five
cents is not for value received by the
stockmen, but IL was claimed wrong
ful attempt upon the part Of the tribe
to usurp the power of taxation Mr..
Davis recited the fact that for years
cattlemen have paid individual Indians
for the privilege OF permitting their
cattle to Craze on Indian lands
"Stockmen," he said, have suffered
losses by the indiscriminate driving
of cattle by the Indian police, because
of their refusal to meet the demands
of the tax collectors. The land is held
by the Indian on an approximate share
of his allotment over which the tribe
has no control"
The cattle tax, It was asserted, Is
an Indian law approved by the presi
dent Of the United States. and beinl
enforced by the federal government
This statute. 1t was argued, is obsolet,
and can not be enforced against non
citizens.
Congress" Mr. Davis said, "can
regulate intercourse laws between tn
Indian and non.citizens and may pre-
scribe a tax. but the federal govern
ment through the interior departmen
cannot legally enforce an Indian sta
ute against the whites"
Today the government attorneys ar
representing their side of the case.

The special edition of the Scientific
American, devoted to Transportation
on Land and Sea, cannot fail to attract
widespread interest. both because
of the very handsome manner in which
II is gotten up and on account Of the
voluminous amount OF information
that it contains II is safe TO say that
anyone who reads 1t carefully through
will find himself thoroughly posted
both as to the magnitude and high
quality Of our railroads and shipping.
The Scientific American has it's own
characteristic way of presenting what
some people might call dry statistical
matter in an interesting form, and the
present number is no exception to the
rule. Both artist and editor have
collaborated to certainly very good
effect, and we believe the number will
meet with a hearty reception.

Regina. Asslnihoia. Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture for ne Territories. reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ors throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year. owing TO
the extensive crop and the delay In
getting It threshed. The Department
OF Agriculture is leading the way In
new departure. with regard 10 the
collection OF crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion OF per
sons interested In the grain business
who ought TO be. and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields.
still the reports are simply a matter
OF opinion. IN which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De
partment. however, has adopted the
system OF returns OF crops actually
threshod. upon which - base their
reports. The accuracy OF the reports
cannot. therefore. be galnsaid. for
they represent a compilation OF actual
throshlng results In this connection,
II might be mentioned that the Do
partment is organizing a system OF
growing crop returns, which viii be In
operation next summer The infor-
nation thus obtained. with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men. banks. railway companies. and
other interests which have to dlseount
the future IN making provision for the
conduct OF their business.
The crop reports already TO hand
show some remarkable cases OF alb
normal development In the Regina
district. many returns are given OF
crops OF wheat running from 40 to 45
bushels 10 tho acre.
J. A. Smell. OF Yorkton. threshed
$4,000 bushels OF oats from $50 acres
an average OF 60 bushels per acre for O

Gen. Grant believed that OF all men

for the practical denomination Of this
belief in the following amusing Incl

lomat, two senators and member Of
the cabinet we're returning from a
drive. They were late. the president
had a pressing engagement that even
ing and he was making up for lost
time with a vengeance. The span
came tearing down Connecticut ave-
nue., but when Street was reached
a new recruit on the police force held
them up for fast driving. The presi-
dent quietly said, Yes. | guess was
driving too fast. now you speak of it
WELL" replied the delighted police
man. proud that he had the courage
to bring 10 terms some swells from
swelldom, you can consider your
selves under arrest" He climbed up
on the seat with Gen. Grant and the
horses were driven toward the station
house. A quiet voice soon whispered
in the policeman's ear, DO you know
whom you have arrested" NO, and
| don't care" was the rejoinder oh,
all right" replied the soft voice, 81
