![["Thompson & Roberts, Attorneys at Law, wrote a letter to Senator Elmer Thomas on June 29, 1935, regarding the Quapaw Tribal Council's objections to an Executive Order. They expressed concerns about a provision in the Indian Bill that imposed a tax on the Quapaw Indians' funds. They argued that this provision was unconstitutional and unjust. They suggested amending the bill to remove this tax and ensure that the Quapaw Indians' invested funds remain tax-free."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_12_10_24_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Quapaw,%20Jan.-Dec.,%201935/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_12_10_24_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Senator Elmer Thomas Regarding Quapaw Tribal Council Disputes - June 29, 1935")
![["Elmer Petree, Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, is requesting an appropriation for Indian tuition in Osage County similar to that paid to the Five Civilized Tribes. However, Elmer Thomas, a member of the Senate, explains that Osage County is not eligible for such payments due to the different circumstances surrounding the ownership of oil land in the county. Thomas suggests that the appropriation can only be used in counties within the boundaries of the former Five Civilized Tribes Territory. Petree is informed that there is no discrimination against Osage County in this matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_12_10_36_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20General,%201935-1948/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_12_10_36_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Indian Tuition Appropriation in Osage County, 1935-1936")

![["The document is a series of letters regarding the Osage Civilization bill, with discussions on the proposed measure, interest rates, counterclaims, and the involvement of various parties such as the Osage Tribe, Congressman Disney, Senator Thomas, and Attorney F.M. Goodwin. There is a focus on the need for the bill to provide for interest on delayed payments to the Osages, as supported by a recent Supreme Court decision. The documents also mention the potential for delays in obtaining a report from the Interior Department and the importance of introducing the bill to move the issue forward."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Proposed Legislation for the Osage Tribe of Indians")
