In THE
INDIAN TAX CASE
LESS SWEEPING


An answer to a telegram sent to
Congressman Scott Ferris BY Ben r.
Jchaacn IN regard to the supreme
court decision On the taxation Of In-
dian lands, received trio afternoon,
says:
."The decision holds that lands are
non-taxabie only as long as they re-
main in the hands Of the original al
lottse."
This Is an important modification
Of the decision as originally reported
by the press dispatches. II means
that IN an cases where lands Of less
than half blood indians have passed
from the original aIIottee, they be-
came taxable. Mr.. johnson estimates
that about one quarter Of such lands
in Grady county have changed hands
and that on account Of heavy loans
becoming due, many thousand acres
more will soon be transferred, thus
becoming subject to taxation.
