SCLC / Rosa #705 — 1936 OIWA trust lands: oil/gas production tax, not general land tax
While the 1934 IRA § 5 exempts lands it acquires from state/local taxation, the 1936 Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act § 1 (49 Stat. 1967) pairs trust title and a land-tax exemption with an express exception: Oklahoma may levy a gross-production tax on oil and gas produced from those lands, not exceeding the private-land rate, and the Secretary shall cause payment.
This is not a general trust-land property-tax authorization, nor proof of actual production/collection. § 8 excludes Osage County. Distinct from #704 (organization/charter). Archive (corrected): README. Standing three hundred fifty-three HOLDS.
