state supreme court today upholding
the states right to tax Indian lands
from which the restrictions nave been

AS a result Of the decision. many
thousands Of dollars Of taxes, the col
lection Of which was enioined, win 60
into the county treasures on the east
side Of the state.
All Of the Five ciFilized Tribes are
affected by the decision.
The syllabus Of the courts opinion
is brief but the decision deals exhaus.
lively with every phase Of the ques.
ton.
section4 Of the act Of congress OF
May 27. 1908, governing the removal OF
restrictions is valid and the court
holds that all lands belonging to
members Of the Five Tribes, from
which restrictions have been or may
hereafter be removed are subject to
taxation.
Over 100 opinions were handed down
today by the supreme court and the
court OF appeals today, every judge
in both courts taking part in rendering
them.
The supreme court decided many
cases that originated in appeals from
minor orders Of the corporation com.
mission and unlike On former occa.
sions, practically all Of the commits
sion's acts were upheld.
The court denied an Injunction to
the Oklahoma Gas & Electric COM
pany against the collection Of the gross
production tax. The court has once
before held the tax valid an dthe opin.
ion today went further INTO it, citing
more authorities.
