MANDATE OF COURT
NOT 50 SWEEPING
Supreme Court Decision is Not as
Sweeping as Feared-Hts Creek
Nation.

Washington, May 15.-In explaining
the probable effects of the opinion of
the United States supreme court on
Monday in the case filed to prevent
the state of Oklahoma from collecting
taxes in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
country on lands held by less than
half blood Indians, d. c. McCurtain,
who acted in behalf of the Indians in
the case, declared tonight that he did
not believe the opinion, even though
it eventually would cost the state of
Oklahoma in the neighborhood of $780,
100000, would seriously embarrass the
counties in which the lands lie in the
eastern section of the state
Mr.. McCurtain declared that about
the only possibility of financial en-
barrassment would be where county
commissioners have authorized bond
issues of several hundred thousand
dollars for county Improvements, on
the supposition that the state could
not lose its fight for the taxation of

probably been misinterpreted in Wash
ington since the question of exemption
from taxation after alienation did not
enter into the case,
In all three cases which We're ap-
pealed from the state supreme court,
the original allottees were still in pos
session of the land at the time suits
were filed and w A. Ledbetter who
prosecuted the cases for the plaintiffs
has stated that the decision affects
only the original aliottee, who is still
in possession of his land.
All attorneys agree that if the first
interpretations of the decision are cor
rect, whose townsites located on In
dian allotments would be non-taxable.
A statement to all county attorneys
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 Wash
ington.

SOUTHERN BAPT|STS
At OKLAHOMA CITY

Oklahoma City, May 1.-THE For
eign Mission Board of the Southern
Baptist convention reported to the
convention today that during the fiscal
year ending April 80, the board rails
ed for foreign mission work $5SO,OOO
of its apportionment of 100000 for
the year, but a deficit of 100000 was
reported.
The report showed that during the
past year mission work in China,
Japan, Italy, Africa, Brazil, Argentina
land Mexico was continued with graft
! flying results. In China 1t now has
about lao missionaries, besides a num-
Der of native helpers; in Japan there
are Is missionaries; in Italy, s. in
Africa, IA; in Brazil, A; in Mexico,
33; and in Argentina 49,
/ The report recommended that new
and larger emphasis be placed upon
i the missionary educational institutions
of theof the foreign board Il already
conducts several theological and other
schools in connection with its work i'm
various countries But it is being felt
more and more, it was stated, that in
! the end the success Of foreign mission
propagandism will depend upon the
converts themselves becoming fit to
propagate the gospel among their own
people.
The foreign board also recommended
the raising of large fund, to be used
in equipping foreign mission churches
and other institutions of the Southern
Baptists, in memory of Abiram Judson,
the first missionary sent out by the
:, church, whose centennial celebration
will be held during the convention.

Vinita, Craig County Oklahoma, May
Is, 1912.
The last half OF the taxes assessed
for the year 1911 are now due and
unless paid before the 18th day of
June will become delinquent and a
penalty OF one and one-half per cent
per month win be added after said
date
Tax warrants for all delinquent per-
son al taxes will be issued within 30
days after said personal property taxes
become delinquent. Avoid penalty,
cost of advertising and sheriff's fees
for collecting by paying before the
18th day of June.

the lands. Otherwise the revenues
paid in the counties affected would
remain about as they are now. He
declared there was a possibility that
the state would be forced to return
several hundred thousand dollars al
ready collected from the Indians in
the form of taxes. AS the court opin-
ion is Interpreted all Choetaw and
|Chickasaw lands affected by the de-
Eeision, which have been transferred
from the original allottees, can be
placed on the tax rous. Only those
allottments held by the original al
lottees can remain untaxed for per-
iod of twenty-one years.
In the Creek nation, however, by
treaty, the exemption of taxes runs
with land under all conditions for a
period of twenty-five years, and it is
the counties in the Creek country that
eventually will be hit the hardest by
the courts opinion.
Vests Opinion.
That interpretations of the opinion
of the supreme court in the Indian tax
cases as sent out from Washington 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 alienation
does not enter into it. Attorney Gen
eral West, who argued the case for
the state before the supreme court
said Wednesday that the opinion had

experience in the boarding house bust
ness and as the manager OF summer
eesort hotel, thinks that the statement
made by a Chicago baker that pie
has ceased to be popular with the
masses of this country" is call wrong"
1T may be true for Chicago" she said,
'but in this part of the world pie Is
still popular. Two years ago we had
a little strike I'm the kitchen OF our
Feashore place and the pastry end was
the hardest to get right. For four
days we had no pie. but furnished in
stead more expensive desserts. But
we had a regular pie strike among our
guests, and pie we had to have. 1t
wasn't like any mans mother ever
made, because 1t was amateur work,
but it was pie. and that's all they
wanted"
