Townsend holds that intercourse laws
regulating maters between Indians
and non citizens are in effect in In-
dian Territory. The decision means
that persons doing business in the
territory must pay tribal taxes or be
subject to expulsion as intruders and
their place of business closed. The
decision affects hundreds of non citi-
zen merchants, and means increased
revenue to the tribal government
The intercourse laws were contested
by Don citizens on the ground that
they were obsolete, having been pass

were never intended to apply to con-
