on income from oil leases on Usage
Indian lands in Oklahoma were
ordered refunded.
The government asserted that
should the decision stand it would
be required to pay back $150,000,00O
collected in taxes, $322, ,346 being in
volved in the Braden case alone.
1t estimated that during 1926 the
income from such leases amounted
to $98,000,000, pointing out that the
decision was so sweeping that it
prohibited taxation Of incomes from
all Indian leases, not being confined
to oil alone, but including mining
leases.
The federal courts in Pennsylvania
took the view that the tax operated
as an unlawful burden upon the
Indians and was an invalid impair
ment of their right of contract ma
terially affecting the amount of
royalties they received.
"The power of the United States
to tax the income is undoubted, y
Justice Stone said in his decision
ct seems to us extravaganza, in the
face Of the comprehensive language
of the statute, to infer that congress
did not intend to exercise that power
merely because, in the absence OF
congressional consent, it is one with
held from the states or because the
tax in terms imposed on others may
have some economic effect upon the
Indians themselves.
'"The disposition of congress has
been to extend the income tax as
far as it can to all species Of income
despite immunity from state taxation
