A bill introduced by Senator Gamble

senate means q great deal TO various por-
lions of South Dakota If it becomes n
law. The bill provides for the taxation
Of oil lands embraced III lrdiaM allOt-
ments. such taxes to be paid by the gem
eral government.
Particularly in Roberts County there
is considerable of such land, upon which.
under present conditions. no taxes can
be derived. The Indian occupants of the
land are entitled to the protection of the
local courts, and if any of them commit
q crime it is the white taxpayers of the
county who must bear the burden OF pun
ishing them in the courts.
Charles Mix is another of the counties
in which Indians hold 81 large amount of
land under the allotment act. Other
counties are similarly situated.
In the case Of most of the Indians the
land held by them cannot be conveyed
by them until the expiration of twenty
years. The treaty between the govern
mcnt and the Sisseton and Wahpeton
tribes, living in Roberts County. spcci-
fies that the Indian allotments shall not
be conveyed by the holders thereof for II
period of twenty years from the date or
the opening to white settlement of the
reservation, and that no patent therefor
shall be issued until that time. Ten years
of this time will have elapsed on the 2sd
of April next, and ten years will then re-
main before the land can he decided and
become subject to taxation. In the mean
time roads and bridges must be built aud
maintained through wide areas of land,
and all ut the expense of the white home

The people of the state are unanimous
in the belief that the general government
should pay the taxes OH land included
within Indian nllotments until such time
as the land can be conveyed by the In
dian holders and become subject to tax
