He argues the law dates over 25 years and harms rural readers by forcing higher postage than subscription prices, hindering semi weekly and tri weekly publications and depriving farmers and country residents of needed news.

Indians Seek Injunction Over Cherokee Allotment Dispute
William H. Robeson and Daniel Henderson filed in the District Supreme Court for an injunction against Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner Leupp to halt partitioning Janda allotments. Chief Justice Clabaugh ordered a show cause by January 18. Named tribe members include David Muskrat and Henry Dick among others. The suit argues 1902 act required equal allotment of 4,500,000 acres and 60,000 in U.S. Treasury to all enrolled members, with remainder of about 220,000 acres set for children born since 1902, and contends the plan to distribute that remainder to later-born children is unlawful.
