General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

United States v. Anderson No. 705 Argued February 26, 1913 Decided April 7, 1913 228 U.S. 52
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
Syllabus
The prohibition in the Indian Appropriation Act of 1884, against sale of cattle purchased by the government for the Indians without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior relates to all cattle purchased by the government for Indians, and is not limited to such cattle as has been purchased from unexpended balances under another provision of the act.
The two provisions of the act above referred to are not interdependent.
Wholly distinct and nonrelated provisions of a general appropriation act should not be brought together and construed as one when such construction defeats the obvious purpose of the act and policy of the government declared in that and other acts.
189 F. 262 reversed.
The facts, which involve the construction of provisions in the Indian Appropriation Act of 1884 relative to sale of cattle purchased by the government for the Indians, are stated in the opinion.
