INDIANS MUST
NOW PAY TAXES
SUPREME COURT MAKES
AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Washington Case Brings VeNed Ques-
ton of Taxing Indians to Final Is
suc-Decision is That Allotted In
dians Being Citizens. They Must
Pay Taxes as All Other Citizens.

\ far-Teaching decision as to tax
ing Indians was handed down yester-
day by the United states supreme
court in the hearing of the case which
was sent up from Tacoma recently.
This decision declares that allotted
Indians being citizens, must pay taxes
as other citizens on all property they
hold, This will affect Oregon as we'll
as Washington Indians. A dispatch
from Tacoma last evening says:
The United States supreme court at
Washington, d. c., sustained the de-
cision of the state supreme court in
declaring that Indians who own land
and exercise all the privileges of
American citizenship shall pay taxes
This means that every citizen In
dian of the reservation will be taxed
and he must pay the assessme It's
against him or forfeit his property.
The supreme court of the Unite /
States passed on the suit brought by
James Goudy against Edward Meath,
as assessor of Pierce county, in which
the Indian claimed exemption from
taxation because of his race. In both
the superior and supreme courts
County Attorney c. o. Bates and As
sistant County Attorney Walter NJ.
Harvey, for the county, argued that
the acceptance of an Indian into full
citizenship, giving him a right to vote,
entailed upon him burden that must
be borne before the final papers are
issued.
After the admission of the state a
law authorizing in general terms the
alienation of Indian-held lands was
passed but the Indian objected that
the anti-levy feature of his patent had
not been removed by the enactment
and the Goudy suit was instituted
The state courts held against him
and their finding was indorsed by yes
terday's decision.

Opinion by Justice Brewer.

The opinion was delivered by Justice
Brewer, who said that the fact that
Cloudy had become a citizen of the
United states, as he had done by ac-
cepting land in severalty, had made
him amenable to the tax laws. He also
said that the act of the state legisa-
ture covers tax levies as well as sales.

The political parties are now very
busy framing prospective legislation,
and while so many subjects will re.
ceive attention how would it be to
look after the building of roads
Here is an opportunity for the mem.
bers of the next Iowa legislature to
cover the state all over with glory by
providing some means of procuring
good roads, says the Iowa State
Register and Farmer.
New York has set aside $50, O00, 0OC
for good roads. Bonds have been issued
for this remarkable sum ON top of
bonds for the SOL, 600, 600 that is being
put into the new Erie canal. New
York is much richer than Iowa in the
aggregate, but not more than fifty
times richer, while in individual ca
pacity to pay the Iowa farmer is ahead
of the New York farmer. If New
York can afford fifty millions for good
roads, Iowa can afford one million.
And yet who dares propose such an
expenditure?
In New York the state pays one
half the cost of construction of such
roads as are laid out by the state en-
gineer,s.the county pays 30 per cent
and the township Is per cent. In case
individual property owners petition
for the road the Is per cent is assess.
ed against the property benefited. In
Pennsylvania where good roads build
ing is mounting also into the millions.
the state pays rs per cent of the cost.
the county 121a per cent and the town.
ship 1915 per cent. In Pennsylvania
the roads are laid by state road COM
missioner who is paid salary of
So. 900 year.
Supposing the Legislature of Iowa
should set aside not million dollars,
nor even 800, 600, but half the latter
sum, and Offering the same terms
Pennsylvania and New York offer,
should propose to Polk county to
join in an experiment in good roads,
building highway to some central
point under the general supervision
of the state agricultural college. We
do not propose this, but merely offer
it as suggestion.
Iowa some day will join the eastern
states and get away from the dirt
road. No state in the union has more
use for good roads, or is better able
to afford them. Why not make a
small beginning and determine by
actual test how best to make the per-
manent road bed for Iowa? Eastern
states are expanding Sc, 900 or more a
mile for their permanent roads. Roads
can be built in Iowa for that. Iowa
can afford to offer as favorable terms
to counties and townships that will
experiment as either New York or
Pennsylvania. Iowa can afford to
offer $50. 600 to encourage the counties
and townships that will undertake to
break the ice.

Speaker Cannon has appointed
Robert G.. Cousins of Iowa to succeed
Robert r. Hit as chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs. This
gives Congressman Cousins the chair
manship of one of the three great COM
mittees of the house and makes him
one of the most influential men in
Washington in the shaping of impor-
tant national legislation. Such posi-
tions of honor and Importance are at
tanned only by many years of faithful
and efficient service as member of
the house. Mr.. Cousins has been a
member of the committee on foreign
affairs for many years, since the days
when Thomas B. Reed was speaker
of the house and gradually he has
climbed nearer the top. During the
illness of the late chairman, Robert
r. Hit, Mr. Cousins was acting
chairman of the committee and he has
retained that position since Mr.. Hits
death. His appointment to the chair
manship has been confidently predict
ed by his friends.

Philadelphia Hotel Men Want
Their Sunday Closing Law

NOT A NEW PROPOSITION

Philadelphia, July 6.-Believing
that the city of Philadelphia is losing
vast amount of money each year
because of the strict Sunday laws re,
garding the sale of liquor the hotel
men of this city have started move
ment by which they hope to have a
bill passed at the next session of the
legislature, modifying the Brooks
license law so as to permit them tC
serve liquor to their guests every day
of the year.
This proposition is not an entirely
new one. but until now it has never
received any definite backing Whole
sale and retail dealers of this city
have come to the conclusion that they
are losing business because of the dry
Sundays which drives buyers and
other visitoNs to New York over Sun
day.
The matter was unofficially pre-
scented to the Merchants and Travel
ers Association and while no definite
action was taken by the association
the members expressed themselves as
being favorable to the movement.

alleged that the company refuses to

MANY FLAGS NOW
HAVE NEW STAR
In Spite of Official Order,
Large Number of New
Banners Are Made.
FIGURES ON HOMOCIDES
UNITED STATES HAS AN ALARM
ING PERCENT OF HoMoCIDES,
LEADING OTHER GREAT coUN-
TRIES.
(By w. A. Crawford.)

Washington, July 6.-Although for
ty-six stars will not be officially ac-
copied for government flags for an
other year, the number of banners
displayed ON the Fourth containing
the new star of Oklahoma was great.
Indeed, following the action of Con
gress in admitting the new state, some
local statistician-and his name is
legion-began nerve racking compu-
tation of the number of new flags
which this action would produce. In
spite of the hot weather. he is still at
large, and with some interesting re-
suits. Enough flags, large and small
according to his figures, were manu-
featured In the country last year to
give every man, woman and child in
the United States at least one. All
of them, placed in a line, would reach
goodness knows how many times
: around the earth, and so on. But
Ii Is true that there has been a great
boom in flag making since the Spanish
war, the smaller ones being in great
demand for table decorations, favors
and the like. No one knows how
many of theses small muslin affair
are stamped out yearly, but an indica-
ton Is given in the fact that one New
York concern alone produces $1,000 a
day.
Figures just given out on the per-
centage of homocides in the United
States, show some alarming, although
interesting results. Human life,
comparatively speaking. grows cheap
er every year. The figures in question
show that the homocides per million
Inhabitants. in Canada are 5; in Eng.
land 10; in France Ia; and in the
United States, 1923. When the figures
are considered by groups of states,
they show that homocides are most
prevalent in the Southern and Pacific
states, where they number IL and IA
per $4,000 inhabitants, respectively,
while in New England the number is
less than 3 per $4,000. l It's pointed
out, however, that in spite of the high
per centage of the South, it is not
due to racial question, although
the proper explanation has not yet
been found.
