ChoctaW Timber Lands.

The attempted grab and monopoli-
cation Of the timber lands in the
Choctaw Nation, in twenty-thousand-
acre tracts, were recently prevented
by .he Intervention of Mr.. Carter and
other members of the Oklahoma Del
egation all of whom made strong pro-
tests against the sale of these lands
in sucn large bodies Attempts
to establish large timber reserves
have also been frustrated by
the action OF Mr.. Carter and other
members of the Oklahoma Delegation.
Mr.. Carter has before the House bill
directing the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to classify and sell all these lands
as follows: agricultural lands In
tracts not to exceed 100 acres; pas
ture lands in tracts not to exceed GAO
acres, and timber lands in tracts not
to exceed $3.50 acres OH. r. 25506).
This measure will undoubtedly re-
ceiye consideration either before ad-
journment or early in the next ses-
sion.

History will show that such injus-
tice as this has often led to cruel
and wanton bloodshed. Whenever
attempts have been made to exempt
any certain class from taxation a
pdejudice has invariably sprung up
against the exempted class by those
who had to bear the burden, and this
prejudice has been known to exist
Ior years after the cause has been re-
moved.
The only prejudice existing today
against the Indian in Oklahoma is
due to the fact that he will not con-
tribute his part toward the support
of the State. This prejudice is at
present in its incipiency. AS taxes
become due and demands are made
for payment it will grow and gather
force, finally to the utter excommu-
nication OF the Indian politically, So
cially, and commercially.
To say the most of it, ownership
of this worlds goods is but transient
and lfeeting, while this prejudice
would, | am sure, be permanent and
enduring.

it should attain its majority lavish
in wealth, but banished from its con-
sorts into a small minority, to be
scorned and despised, for just cause,
by it's equals. prolonged applause)
These pertinent remarks made on
the floor of the House on March IA,
1908, shows that Mr.. Carter foresaw
and was fighting to prevent the pres
ent deplorable taxation conditions,
more than four years ago.
At every opportunity he has ex-
pressed similar sentiments both on
the floor of the House and in Okla
homa.
The two bills introduced by him,
H. r. 24663, refunding taxes, and H..
r. 25507, removing restrictions, when
enacted into law, will completely ad-
lust the tax situation in Oklahoma.
They are both reasonable measures
and should be passed if properly man
aged.
