TAXATION
DISCUSSED
BYLEAGUE
Call for State Meeting-
Indian Land Decision
Considered
At the meeting of the local branch
of the Citizens' Protective league last
night the supreme court decision in
the Indian land tax cases was one of
the principal tophs of discussion. A
motion was passed recommending the
csiHmg of a state convention of the
various county leagues for ihe purpose
of formulating a platform which will
make known to candidates the position
of the league on questions relating to
taxation.
It was brought out that while Grady
county will suffer less than many
other counties as a result of the tax
decision about one half of the lands
listed Tor taxation last year will be
dropped from the tax rolls in addi-
tion to other. lands. that have hitherto
not been listed. Among the remedies
proposed was an net of congress mak-
ing appropriations for the district
schools In the counties affected.
It was also sticgested that those who
in auy manner make use of the non
taxable lands be required to denoml
upon the Indian owners for schools.)
The latter proposition will be further
considered at the next meeting.
The water meer question came up
aaain ami it was insisted that the city
was charging more for meters than
actual cost contrary to the city or-
tliiiitiit e.
Among those who took part in th
discussions were Dennis O'Brien E.
L. Persons J. W. Sptake J. D. P.ryaii
and J. B. Kelsay. A small crowd at-
tended the meeting.
