TUNNEL STEAL RESTING
Their principal objection among

whereby the city grants the COM
pany only a tunnel passageway
instead of the great storage prop
erty under Washington between

Il would rather have no pas
sageway than a small one" said
Simpson in a Disguised voice.
why" Simpson was asked,
when you first asked for this
chunk of the peoples property,
you said you only wanted it for
a passageway and not for storage
roonI What do you care
whether the tunnel is big or
small?"
ooh, but think of the danger
from fire and panic" said Sirnp-
son. "a narrow passageway
would just be like the neck of
bottle in such case"
''But in case of a fire would
anyone be likely to run into an
underground P assa g e?" was
asked.
"You never can tell" said
Simpson, mysteriously, "and we
want to take every precaution."
''To say nothing of every bit of
the peoples property you can
grab off,"
We'll, we are going to build
the new store anyway, and we
ought to have a passageway be-
tween them for the convenience
of customers"

Attorney Vests Opinion.

That interpretations of the opinion
of the supreme court by the Indian
tax cases as sent out from Washing
ton are incorrect is the contention of
various attorneys who were asked
to express an opinion on the result
of the decision Wednesday
Until the opinion is placed in the
hands of attorneys for examination
the majority of them will believe that
the question of taxation after alien
alton does not enter into 1t. Attor-
ney General West, who argued the
case for the state before the supreme
court said Wednesday that the opln-
ion had probably been misinterpreted
in Washington since the question OF
exemption from taxation after alien
alton did not enter into the case.
In all three cases which were ap-
peaed from the state supreme court,
the original allottees were still In pos
session of the land at the time suits
were filled and w. A. Ledbetter, who
prosecuted the cases for the plaintiffs
has stated that the decision affects
only the original allottee, who is still
in possession OF his land.
All attorneys agree that If the first
interpretations of the decision are
correct, whole townsites located on
Indian allotments would be non-tax-
able.
A statement to all county attorneqs
setting forth the full effect Of the de-
cision will be prepared by Attorney
General West as soon as a copy Of
the opinion has been received from
Washington.
