The tax incidence on the Tribe's royalty interest was not at issue and was not reached by the court."15a footnotes the sentence on page 1114, right-hand column ending on line 21 with the citation to Washington v.

"15a.  Appellees, in their petition for rehearing call to our attention Commonwealth Edison Co. v. Montana, --- U.S. ----, 101 S.Ct. 2946, 69 L.Ed.2d 884 (1981).  In that case, in the context of a challenge to the Montana coal severance tax as a burden on interstate commerce, the Court upheld the tax against the challenge that it is not fairly related to the services provided by the state.  The Court stated that wide latitude is afforded the states under the Due Process Clause in imposing taxes upon particular activities.  It went on to note that no direct benefit need be shown to the class or individuals taxed, and that this latitude afforded the states is not changed merely because the taxed activity has some connection to interstate commerce.  Completely different considerations are implicated in the case before us.  Our task is to determine the limits of state power to tax Indian tribes, Indian-related activities and Indian trust property.  Different congressional acts are at issue.  Congressional policy with respect to Indian tribes is involved here, not the constitutionality of the tax.  We do not find Commonwealth Edison to control this case as suggested by appellees."
