current premium. The opinion also
was written by Justice Kane.
The Exchange Oil Company, which
Is affiliated with the Sinclair Oil
Company is alleged to have sold, its
oil TO that company at the current
market price without the premium.
1t offered TO pay gross production
taxes on the amount actually paid it
by the Sinclair Company. The board,
however, raised the tax to include
payment of the usual premium.
The opinion stated that the gross
production tax is assessed in lieu Of
all ad valorem taxes, and must be
lowered or raised by the board of
equalization 10 conform with tax
which might be paid If the tax were
assessed in another manner. The court
held that accordingly the board erred
In refusing to take testimony offered
by the company tending to show that
the gross production tax was too high
assessed.
Justices Mcneil and Robert N.
Rainey, dissented from that part OF
the opinion which gave a test for
determining whether the tax is just
by comparison with valuation figures
in the district in, which the property
Is located.

DECISION OF SUPREME.
COURT WILL DECREASE
NCOME OF THE STATE

Oklahoma City, Dec. 14-Income Of
the state will be decreased by more
than 100000 yearly srhe result OF
three tax decisions handed down today
affected incomes derived from restrict
ed Indian lands, gross production
taxes on lead and zinc mined on In
dian lands and fixation of oil value
for taxation purposes.
The most important decision was
one handed down by Justice Mat
thew j. Kane, affirming the decis-
ion of Judge George w. Clark Of the
district court of Oklahoma county, TO
the effect that incomes derived from
restricted Indian lands are not sub
ject to income taxes. Frank Carter.
state auditor, estimated that this de-
cision alone will decrease the states
income at east 100000 yearly.
Under this decision the state will
lose taxes on thousands OF acres OF
the richest oil lands in the state,
ii was said. Incomes taxes need not
be paid on money obtained from oil in
the rich Usage field and other scat
tered properties in the state. ac-
cording 10 Interpretation OF the de-
cision.
A second opinion, written BY Justice
Kane, reversed the decision of the
state board of equalization by de-
claring that gross production taxes
On lead and zinc mined on lands Of
the Quapaw Indians may not be COL
lected by the state. Accordingly the
state auditor will be compelled TO re-
turn approximately $4,000 held in
state repositories pending a decision
by the court. The appeal was taken
by the Shelton Lead and Zinc Com
pany Of Miami.
A dissenting opinion in this case
was made by Justice John B. Harrisn.
He maintained that the tax is in
reality a property tx enacted after
all government requirements have
been met and the products have been
separated from the mines, His opin-
ion was thai; the tax is not aimed
as a license against the government
wards or the leases executed either by
the Indians or the government.
The third decision reversed and re-
manded to the state board OF equallz-
alton for further action an appeal
of the Exchange Oil Company OF
Tulsa, from the boards ruling which
fixed the value OF oil for purposes
of taxation at market value plus the

When Juan Diaz de Soils in 1912
entered the sealile estuary Of the Pla-
Ia and landed about 70 miles east Of
the present city Of Montevideo he
opened up a veritable paradise for
the white man. Uruguay was at that
time inhabited by Indians, people
described as physically strong and en-
dowed with a natural nobility of char
acter.
Montevideo today has wide streets,
modern dwellings and wonderful parks.
And, while 1t is the smallest inde-
pendent state in South America its
people are prosperous and the republic
is we'll grounded. The birthright the
Indians left their descendants has
proven greater than riches.

100000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ.
lzatlons to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation Of effort in the
history of American relief and charlta-
Die organizations has grown out OF the
disaster which threatens $500 900
European children this winter To the
headquarters OF every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track of war, will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When DR.. Livingston Farrand, chair
man Of the Central Committee Of the
American Red Cross, returned from
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
with the need Of the children. From
the feeding stations Of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas of every sort. The Pro-
festant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
Of starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life of Europe is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power Of American charitable
thought and effort behind 1t, has been
formed. 1t consists Of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR.. Livingston Far
rand, representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tse; Wilbur X. Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee; James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights of Columbus; DR.. c.
v. Hibbard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association Miss
Sarah s. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association DR..
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
sral Council Of Churches.
It Is the purpose Of the Council to
raise $33, 100000 in an appeal center
Ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child
fife may be met. In every town and
community Of the nation, 1t is hoped,
local committees. representing all the
cooperating agencies will he formed
to secure the vitality necessary funds.
OF the amount sought, S23, 100000 will
be used for basic food. For every one
Of these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, In the form
Of transportation, labor, guards, cIeri-
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies a. are locally obtainable.
10 children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining s10O00,000 Of the fund is
Just as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies in
the raising Of the childsaving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces Of
eight great agencies, keep a constant
eve on the administration of Americas
merciful gift, in order that there shall
be no wastags and NO tendency toward
pauperization.
