If 1 were exempt because of being an Indian, they would feel a double hostility to me. To the instinctive repugnance for an Indian would be added the antipathy for one who does not bear his share of the common burdens. These neighborhood taxes are matters of common knowledge and common talk. The chief friction and hostility against the Indians are because they are exempt from the common burdens of the neighborhood that everyone has to bear. Town and dis- trict taxes ought to be paid by the Gove...rnment, having funds derived from the sales- of the Indian lands. The State tax is further away. The town people have nothing to do with that. They do not assess that. County supervisors of the State officers make it up. If any exemption is allowed it ought not to extend to taxes laid by the men of the vicinage on themselves. Correcting this inequality would remove a considerable part of the trouble. I would suggest the question whether it is not practicable that the United States should pay all taxes that are not worked out, or that are not neigh- borhood taxes, out of the funds of the Indians held in trust by the Government.
