Indian Lands

ings.
Fickinger said that the land
division of the area office had re.
ceived 424 requests for patents
during the year. Many of these
are still being prepared for re.
lease, he said.
Patenting activity ran high on
Crow, Fort Peck and Blackfeet
reservations. On the Crow, SO
patents, comprising 19,08O.63 &C.
res, were issued. A total of Ct
patents were granted to Black
feet: Indians in which 16, 491. 30
acres of land were removed from
trust status and placed on the
tax rolls. At Fort Peck, 10, 764. Sc
acres were released through the
issuance of 48 patents. Oil activ-
tiles in these areas is probably a
major reason for patent requests,
Fickinger said.
The breakdown shows t h a t
eight patents, covering 679.12
acres. were granted on the Flat
head reservation; two patents
that covered $50 acres were
granted on the Wind reserva-
ton in Wyoming and one patent
for l60 acres was granted at the
Fort Belknap reservation. No
patents were granted on the
Northern Cheyenne reservation.
Fickinger pointed out h a
many Indians were beginning to
see the value in having patents
on their lands. For the most
part it assists them in establish
ing credit with agencies outside
the Indian bureau. he said.
"Once the land is removed
from trust, it becomes the same
as any other state land and the
Indian Bureaus supervisory job
is ended in respect to its control
and disposition" he said.
Some of the patents. he said,
had been granted to purchasers
of land in cases of extremely in.
fractioned heirship property. He
said that 10 per cent of Indian
lands in Montana and Wyoming
come und e r the complicated
heirship status.
He cited an example where 81
acres, valued at 81, O23. so, had s.
heirs. The original allottee haC
died in 1898 and the property hac
been included in al estate pro
bate actions. This complicated
problem increases administrative
costs to where they are often il
excess of the actual value of tn
land, Fickinger said.

Tax Protest Is
Blow Against
School Dist. 9

UVuUU1 DlCle y
When a young law assistant
once complained to ustic
Holmes about the taxes he had to
pay, the old man replied: with
taxes l buy civilization" Wheth-
er or not most of US have that
philosophical attitude, it is true
that the money spent for the
support of public schools gives
the greatest returns for the least
expenditure. Dollar for dollar,
the tax money for schools is more
wisely administered and sensibly
spent than any other tax income.
The recent protest of school
taxes in District No. 9 by the
Great Northern Ry. and few of
the local citizens is of such seri-
Gus nature that the entire tax
structure of this school district
could be doubled and in some in
stances tripled, The protest was
made without any investigation
of the facts. The protest was
made after the budgets had been
approved by the Great Northern
and other concerned agencies.
Eighty per cent of our school
district is federally-owned tax
exempt land end the federal gov
eminent feels that it is its duty
to come to the relief of taxpayers
with funds to reduce the tax bur-
den.
One of the criteria for federal
reimbursement specifically states
that the school district must. levy
taxes at a rate not less than the
average for the state. The Bur-
eau of Indian Affairs has accept
ed II mills tax levy as meeting
this requirement in our district.
The taxes in District No. 9
have heen reduced over the past
year from Is mills in 1851 to
l1.80 mills in 1852 for the gener-
al fund. In addition, the tax
payers we're saved 6 mills of tax
because the cash balance result
ing from wise expenditure saved
t h distr C t Sc, 005. 90. This
amount was used to reduce the
district levy. The 62 mills lev
led against the district will bring
in 81. 744. This amount is matched
10y SIS, $50 by the federal govern
ment to allow the district to bud
get to the 80 per cent allowed by
law.
In addition to the Sis, $50, the
federal government allows our
district an additional $25, $50 to
further reduce taxes for the tax.
payers of our district. The tot
al of these amounts is the equiva-
lent of AZ mills of taxes on ouI
present taxable valuation.
If School District No. 9 is lin.
tied to Is mills. then it follows
that the reimbursement from the
government will be reduced &C
cordingly. S nee the difference
between the Is mills and the &c
per cent al wed by law is
$4,000 in District No. 9 and the
resulting reduction in Indian
funds will be $4,000. il m a n
.that $l8, 900 must be raised by
taxes to allow our children the
minimum amount of education
lin so many words, the taxpayers
of District No. 9 are being seri
.ously injured by the protest OF
taxes. Moreover, if this protest
lis allowed. every school district

ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN

However, this is mol certain. Any

ment, now at rock bottom could
raise trust fund expenditures, cut.
ting down the amount left for the
government to spend.
That suggests look at the three
hopes for balanced cash budget
next year..

defense, of to 5 billion dollars
would make up for the 4Ia billion
dollars estimated revenue loss

lis q cut of two billions in defense
