[To accompany H. R. 12000]
The Committee o;: Indian Affairs, to whom was referred the bill

of lines 12 and 13, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

certificate, or in any full-blood Indian heir or devisee of the land: Provided,
That the tax exemption shall not extend beyond the period of restrictions pro-
vided for in this act: And provided further, That the tax exempt land of any such
Indian allottee, heir, or devisee, shall not at any time exceed one hundred and
sixty acres.
The purpose of this bill is to extend the restrictions on the lands
allotted to members of the Five Civilized Tribes for an additional
period of 25 years commencing April 26, 1931. It is estimated that
this bill will apply to approximately 11,000 members of the Five
Civilized Tribes, about 9,000 of whom are full-blood Indians. These
Indians now own approximately 1,743,974 acres of land and under the
terms of H. R. 12000 approximately 1,000,000 acres will be non-
taxable after April 26, 1931, and the acreage of exempt land will be
reduced from year to year as restrictions are removed by the Secretary
of the Interior and by death.
There are on the rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes 101,506 members.
