Moore will contend that the land III
question was allotted to Sally Hooper
subject to the congressional act OF
1906, which provided that the surplus
should be non-taxable for three years
from date of passage of the act. The
state will contend that this limitation
expired in 1909 and that taxes were
collectable on surplus allotments
