JUDGE ELLIOTT SAYS
PROPERTY OF INDIANS
NOT SUBJECT To TAI
Decision Grows Out of Action
In Dewey County-Question
Is Often Agitated.

Sioux Falls. s. D.. Feb. 21.-Ju6ge
Elliott, Of the United States court In
this city. has rendered an important
decision, in which he holds that trust
property of Indians is not subject to
taxation by the counties or states in
which 1t Is located. The decision was
rendered in a case arising from Dewey
county.
His decision is another victory for
the office OF the United States district
attorney of South Dakota, and fol-
lowered the action in the case of the
United States against John Pearson, as
treasurer, and Calvin NJ. Smith as
sheriff of Dewey county, this state. on
an injunction order to restrain the col
lection of taxes against trust property
Df the Indians on the Cheyenne River
indian reservation.
The court determines that all of the
property assessed against the Indians
named in the bill of complaint was is
sue property or increase of issue prop
Ity belonging to one of the classical
tions endorsed in the opinion and as
such an fundamentally used by the
government OF the United States for
the benefit of these Indian wards and not
taxable for county or state purposes.
Judge Elliott's decision. 1t Is be-
ieved, will have far reaching effect
throughout the counties in which In
dian reservations are located, and will
become of importance as a precedent
n other western states.

NO CONFLICT IN TERMS

and there will be no grouping under
q motto. Confusion had arisen in read
ing the statute newly enacted, because
Of Indefinite terms and references to
sections Of the old act, which were
aiken to mean the new act, inasmuch
ls the new act constantly refers to
provisions of this act" which would
lead n casual reader to conclude the
reference was to the new act, and
In that way confusion arose over pro-
visions.
The secretary OF state is preparing
the form for the new ballots and I'M
der the new amendment they will be
different than anySbefore, because the
old provision in regard to delegates to
national conventions in a group under
a heading at the bottom of the ballot
will be stricken out entirely. Now.
at the head of the ballot is inserted:
First, the name Of candidates for pres
ident; second, the delegates to national
convention; third, place for candidate
for vice president. Following these
three spaces, the old form of ballot will

Belle Fourche, s. D., Feb. 19.-The
64O-acre homestead bill which has
passed the house and is now being con-
sidered by the senates committee on

comment. Indications are that should

greatest influx of homestead home
seekers it has ever witnessed. With
this class of people the bill Is very
popular, bat 1t is meeting some opposi-
ton from the large stock owners who
are now leasing a great deal of the land
which would be taken up under this
act. Congressman Candy, OF South
Dakota, has amended the bill. giving
the homesteader the right to apply by
petition for designation, and also
granting the right Of those who have
proved up and have no open land
adjoining their homesteads to take
other land anywhere within 20 miles
