SAVES
$4,000 PER YEAR
important Question Raised is Whether
Restrictions Placed on Full
bioods Land is Valid.

Muskog, Okla, Aug. 1.-THE de-
cision of Judge Campbell in the In
dian land title suits at Muskogee will
save Uncle Sam an expense account
Of $4,000 per year, to say nothing Of
court costs to both sides in the cases
Incidently It viii cause several gov
eminent representatives, who are
drawing TAT salaries, to lose their jobs.
OF the force regularly employed for
more than a year by the government
on these suits there are three who
draw $4,000 per year each, twenty-five
clerks and stenographers who draw
$4,000 annually, besides a host of
outside men who work occasionally,
but are not on the list of regulars
Added to this have been constant
trips of assistants to the attorney gen.
eral from Washington who come down
to lend counsel.
Under the decision the government
is wasting this money, because II Is
not a party at interest and cannot ap-
pear as a plaintiff in its own name.
But the decision is likely to reach
much farther In this respect. A large
part of the work in the Office of Com
missioner j. George Wright is based
on the assumption of the government
that It has a guardianship right This
Is denied by the court and therefore,
it is but natural to suppose that there
will be a heavy dropping off In the
work with corresponding decrease
in the number Of employees. The
same is true In the Indian agency, but
to lesser degree.
One of the most important points
raised in this connection is whether
the act of congress extending the re.
strictions over the fullbloood Indians
for a period of twenty-five years af
ter they had taken their allotments, Is
valid. It is true, however, that the
court of claims has passed upon this
point to certain degree in sustain-
ing the McCumber amendment.
The Campbell decision will have the
direct effect of transferring from the
federal to the state courts a vast
amount OF legal business

lature and he elaborated upon the
powers and duties OF the state board
of agriculture. He said that the Ok
lahoma board of agriculture had more
authority than had the board OF any
other state.
Mr. Barrett spoke OF the effort Of
the board to furnish to the farmers
through a quarterly report, a complete
compilation OF agricultural laws, free
Of cost.
The lattering success OF the state
creamery at Saltwater was eulogized
and the use OF college bulletins was

WILL TEST GROSS
REVENUE TAX LAW
Attorney General Withdraws Tax War.
rants Against Coal Companies
Pending Result Of Suit.

Guthrie, Okla. Aug. lO.-state Au.
ditor Trapp has withdrawn all tax
warrants which we're placed with the
sheriffs OF Pittsburg, Latimer and 9th.
er counties in the coal districts for the
collection Of gross revenue taxes upon
coal. pending the determination OF an
agreed suit in the superior court Of
Pittsburg county, 10 determine the le-
gality Of the gross revenue tax law
passed by the first legislature
Pending final determination Of the
case the court has issued temporary
injunction to restrain any further
steps toward forcing payment Of the
tax.
Most OF the coal companies engaged
in mining are plaintiffs in the action,
and State Auditor Trapp. with the
sheriffs OF the various counties in
which the companies are located, de.
PENDANTS.
The coal companies claim that the
gross revenue tax law ia unconstltu
tional and void for the following rea-
sons:
That is does not specify for what
the tax was levied; the United States
government mas sole control OF the
segregated coal lands and their out
put under contracts made with the
operators as lessees; that the tax is
eonfseatory: that II Is gross dis
erimination In that II levles tax Of
only one-half Of per cent on oil gas,
production and leyles per cent on
coal. which is In direct competition
with oil and gas az fuel
The defendants contend that the law
does not specify the purpose for which
the tax Is levied. and that II there
is any deficiency Il IS corrected BY
the act Of the second legislature
amending the gross revenue law: that
the tax Is levied upon the business Of
mining coal and not upon the gov.
ernment lands; that Il Is no objection
10 taxation that II IL confscatory In
that the power Of taxation Is the pow.
er Of eonflscation: that there is no dis.
termination. as the legislature has the
right to classify subjects Of taxa.
ton, and that TO place OIL and gas in
one classification and coal IN another
is not an unjust classification.
