INDIAN LANDS
CANT'S Be TAXED
Government Declares Cheha-
lis County Takes Advant-
age Of an Error

TACOMA, June 9.-Declaring that
the officials of Chehalis county had
taken advantage of an error in the
land patents granted to the Indians
more than 20 years ago, and were
assessing the Indian homesteaders
for taxes on their land in violation
of the federal statutes, the United
States government yesterday filed
suit in the Tacoma federal court
against Chehalis county. County
Treasurer w. B. Paine, and the coun-
ty commissioners, w. G. Hopkins,
George L. Davis and c. n. Wilson.
The government asks that the ofli-
cials of Chehalis county be enjoined
from assessing further taxes, that
they repay the money already taken
in taxes, and that all taxes on the
land be Cancelled until after next year.
The government alleges that taxes
have already been collected for the
years 1909, 1910 and 1911 on approx
mately 80 quartersection homesteads.
Granted Prior Fright
According to the suit, lands We're
granted to the Indians of the Cheha-
lis tribe by the federal government
on June /, 1855. They We're declar-
ed part of the public domain at that
time, and the Indians We're, accord
ing to law, granted prior right to
them. An error was made in the pat
ents, however, by fixing 20-year
limit of trusteeship on the lands by
wording of the suit, all patents is
sued at that time to Indians We're for
a 25-year period.
During the % years the govern,
ment was to have acted as trustee
over the lands, and there was to
have been no encumbrance on the
property in the nature Of taxation.
Neither should the Indians dispose
of them during that time without the
sanction of the government.
The government alleges that the
Chehalis county officials have taken
advantage of this error and have as
sessed taxes for the past three years.
1t is said that all other patents have
been issued for 25-year periods.
The case will be tried in Tacoma
this year.

Changes He Hopes Will

BANQUETTED AT SEATTLE
Says Change Of System Would
Save Cities and Counties
Millions a Years

]. E. Frost, member of the state
board of tax commissioners, at ban
quet given in Seattle last Thursday
night by the taxation bureau of the
New Seattle Chamber of Commerce
advocated an amendant to the taxation
section of the state constitution pro-
viding for the segregation of state
from local taxes, prohibiting the eX-
penditure of public funds for any but
public benefits, thereby wiping out ap-
propiations for private or purely local
purposes.
The state tax commissioners were
the guests of the evening. and the ban
quet was the occasion for discussing
tax reform methods. Kenneth Mac
kintosh was chairman of the even
ing. and Mr. Frost, 7. ID. Rockwell.

Some Escape Just Share.

In beginning his address, Mr.. Frost
declared he was not going on theory.
but was talking from the standpoint
of long experience and a system of in
vestigations. Primitive methods can
not cope with modern conditions, said
Mr. Frost
"The result is that vast and modern
forms of wealth are not adequately
measured, and their owners escape
just and fair taXation,' he continued,
while added burdens have been laid
upon the owners of simple, visible
and tangible property.
"The first step in tax reform is the
complete separation of the state and
local taxes. The railroads make the
people pay taxes by raising the freight
rates. Taxes to them are matter
of expense
Would Exempt Implements.
Mr. Frost said he would tax the
STOCKS, bonus, mortgages ana all
physical assets CT all public service
corporations, and would exempt from
taxation manufacturers of tools. farm
implements and other industrial con-
Germs.
1--WE do not need low freight rates
half as much as We need manufacture
ers," declared the speaker. I'VE have
natural resources that are unlimited
and climate conditions conducive to
energetic efforts-and a tax system
that drives industries away from us.
"An evil tax is one which holds a
good thing from coming to us; good
tax is one which encourages indus
tries.
Mr. Frost declared that by the segre-
cation of state and local taxes Seattle
would save annually at least s5000,000.

PARIS ISSUES BONDS
FOR SMALL INVEgTQ..S

Paris is about to offer a bond issue
amounting to 205, 900 900 francs ($4l,.
000,000) bearing 3 per cent interest.
In accordance with custom in France
the denomination Of the bonds will be
small, about $50, and unusual facili-
ties will be afforded to small investors
to acquire the bonds. A deposit of $2
will hold a bond and the subscriber
will have until 1915 to make full pay
ment. Under these terms nearly every
one can become a bondholder, and per
haps in time a bloated one.
France believes in encouraging
frugality and it has long been the
practice to let the plain people ac-
quire the bond issues. They have been
educated to make these investments
and a recent railroad bond issue in
France was oversubscribed thirty-three
times, illustrating how general is the
participation in such purchases.-Bos

GOOD LAND SALE TO

HaIf-Section Ranch Northeast

An important land sale was closed
this week by the Sprouse Real Estate
Agency. Through this deal Adolfo
Camerillo, vice-president Of the. Cali
fornia Lima Bean Growers Association
and vice-president of the First Ma
tional Bank Of Ventura, becomes the
owner of 320 acres known as the Edw
II. German ranch, located four miles
northeast of Holtville. The price paid
was 1886, 800, or $115 per acre.
Mr.. Camerillo recently made a short
trip to Imperial valley and was so well
pleased with the situation here that he
lost no time in closing the deal for
this ranch. He will use the property
for the establishment of high class
stock ranch. 1t is probable that his
initial investment here will bring about
the investment of other Ventura coun-

INDIANS HAVE SETTLED
GREAT LAND QUESTION

Banning Record: BY the narrow
margin of four votes the conservative
wing of the Malki Indian tribe won in
battle of ballots against the insur.
gent wing of the tribe. The question
voted on was whether the several fine
sections of Indian land at Banning
should be allotted to heads of families
or to all Indians-men, women and
children. The majority decided to al
lot to heads of families, and these
heads will receive each 30 acres of
land with an excellent water right
for the government has been invest
ing thousands of dollars each year for
the past several years in an effort to
provide the Indians with an adequate
water supply for the propagation of
horticulture and agriculture.
There are now 260 Indians belong
ing to the local reservation and these
were generally represented at the cleo
tion, and the prediction campaign was
spirited. For four years the question
has been before the Indians and four
times have they decided on proceeding
with allotment under the old law
which allows the heads of families
to get the land. The Indian depart
ment at Washington would perhaps
have preferred proceeding under the
newer law, which provides for land
for each individual Indian, but the old
er Indians of the reservation were in
the saddle and ruled with an iron hand
However, the commissioner of Indian
affairs desires that the Indians be re-
sponsible for their own. property and
therefore he will not interfere with
their desire for allotment under the
old law. Special Commissioner e. p
Holcombe of Denver was present at
the conference to give disinterested
view of the governments side of the
case. There have been many vex-
atious delays and it is the desire Of
all concerned that haste be made in
installing the water system and put
ting the land in a state of cultivation.
The water supply comes from two
large canyons.
