LAND INCOME IS
HELD TO Be VOID
(By The United press.)

Washington, Jan. 30.--States have
no right to tax incomes derived
from oil leases on restricted Indian
lands, the supreme court held today
in an important Oklahoma case.
The supreme court reversed the
lower court decisions sustaining the
state Of Oklahoma in imposing
taxes against F. A. Gillespie who
claimed that tax could not be
levied because the Indians are gov
ernment wards.
The case involves all oil and gas
leases on lands Of the Five Civil
lied tribes and other minor tribes.
