II has been generally supposed
that the recent decision Of the su-

act information, and the following

My Dear SIR. As per your re-
quest, ! am. herewith. enclosing copy
or the records showing the action Of
the state board Of equalization rela-
i've TO the paying Of the tax and the
test cases covering departmental
and Usage leases. This action was
taken by the board Of equalization
on the 2oth day OF June. 1915.
The history OF this matter is that
after the gross production tax Ia W
was passed at the session Of the leg
islature IN 1915, ] was instructed by
the attorney general. as the legal
adviser Of the state. that It was the
intention Of the. legislature 10 lay
this tax alike upon both restricted
Usage and commercial leases. and
that II was my duty 10 collect the
tax. Proceeding upon this legal ad
vice, ! issued large number Of tax
warrants against properties whose
owners Contended that the tax could
not be collected upon oil and gas
produced upon these restricted In
dian and Usage leases Several in
functions were filed in differe Mt
counties where the tax warrants
were sent with the result that both
myself and attorneys representing =
oil producers called the attention of
the state board OF equalization to the
matter and after consideration and
discussion or the same, II was de-
clded that it was not practical or a
good government to force every own
er oh restricted or Usage leases into
court with his individual claim, bu,
that steps should be taken to get
test cases into the court and get the
matter settled. consequently, the ac-
ton taken by the state board OF
equalization on June 20. 1915, was
the result
From the reading Of the motion
which is part Of the records, you
will find that II was agreed to test
cases TO be brought in a tribunal Sc
iected by the attorney general and

arising under departmental leases on
restricted Indian land, an also under
departmental leases on the lands on
the Usage reservation, the tribunal
in which these suits are to be in
stltuted 10 be determined by the
attorney general and agreed upon by
him with the parties bringing the
action. and that in the event that
such actions are brought. the auditor
is requested to recall tax warrants

Why Tact 1o4 Was Turned Down.


J. George Wright was in town sat
urdov investigating as to how IL
came aoout that a well. known as
tho Foster No. in section 23-24-9
was reported as a failure just be
fore the Usage sale.
Mr. Fostor had no competition
and bought the lease at 81 900, it
being known as l04 and adjoins sec
ton 23-24-9 where the well was re-
ported as a failure. Mr. Wright says
that Nh Foster denies having any
interest in the false report that was
printed but proposes to find out
how II came into the papers and who
was responsible. He certainly Will
find that H. V Foster had nothing
to do with the report being printed
and the chances are that it was
given some oil reporter as the truth
and Of course was printed as a fact
Mr. Wright will investigate furth-
er and his findings win be printed
