PUEBLOS MUST PAY
TAXES AND MAY VOTE
Indian Commissioner Jones Decides Against The
Importunate Red Man and Tells Why

The Pueblo Indians will become
taxpayers and voters FL New Mexico,
according to a statement made by
Williams Jones, the head Of hte Ii
dian cd16mission, yesterday evening
at the AlvArado hotel, says the Albu-
querQue journal.
It was popularity thought thar the In.
dian Rmmission would recommend
the ce4ing OF the lands Of the Pueblos
to the 11deral government in order
that tneYs~ould NOT be obliged to pay
taxes by the verdict Of the higheai
court in New Mexico, but Mr.. Jones,
after having spent a few days in this
vicinity, IS so well satisfied that the
Indians r in a position to pay taxas
that he has finally reached the con.
clusion that it would not be policy for
the commission to bring the matter To
the attention of the federal govern
nent. AS it was only necessary Tor
the commission to recommend that
the Indians deed their lands To the
United States and. therefore, be on
the same basis as other Indians
throughout the country regarding the
payment u taxes and citizenship, Nj,
Jones decision at this point Is pt
paramount Importance to New Mex.
leo and the Indian question in gen
eral.
The fact that as taxpayers. the Pu.
eblo Indians would then be entitled e
vote, raises a question that has long
been agitated in the circles of the de
partment Of the interior. According
to the ruling OF the New Mexico 81
preme court the Pueblo Indians had
received their property from ,anl
grants Of old Spanish origin and were
not covered by the federal enactment
whereby they have the privilege q
using their lands for twenty-five
years before being subject to taxa
tion.
Numer0us councils have been held
among the Indians iii this vicinity
and pet Vonsaad delegations sentsto
Washing b an endeavor to haze
the commissioners interfere. The re-
suit was problematical until MI. Jones
made his visit to Albuquerque, when
he decided that under existing conii-
tions It was better to let the matter
rest az II now is.
The consequences Of Nh. Jones L.
cision In this important smatter can
pnry be surmised at the resent time.
II Is sufficient to know that the In
dian votes In the near future may
brooably be polled and that the tax
collector will levy on the redskin as
well as the citizens of other color.
Mr.. jones' Statement.
''The Pueblo Indians have hereto
fore been exempt from taxation said
Mr.. Jones to a Journal representa-
tive, but by the recent ruling of
the New Mexico supreme court II
was decided that those conditions
peculiar to most Indian tribes were
not so to the Pueblo. II is by the
old Spanish land grants that the Pu,
eblos are now in possession of their
lands, and for this reason, your ter
ritorial supreme court held that the
Indian. as well as the white 9 Il
liable TO taxation.
The matter was brought to my at-
tention at the closing Of the last term
in congress and the time was then
too limited to warrant my bringing
the matter before that body. When
it was first called to my attention i
was my idea to have the Pueblps
