Circular to Indian agents.
Department of War,

March 10, 1921.
SIR-Congress having, at the last session,
reduced the appropriation for the Indian De-
parim'wt, f'on 100000 to 500, 900, 1t me-
cessarIly follows that a prOportionate reduc-
ton should be made in the expenses of the
Department.
This cannot be done without confirming the
disbursements of the Department exclusively
to the objects which cannot be dispensed with,
to wit: pay of agents, sub-agents, interpreters,
blacksmths, transportation and distribution of
anDuitlcs, farming and manufacturing utensils,
NC. and avoiding all Others, as far as it can
be done without injury TO the public interest,
or violation of the laws or treaties ;otherwisc
1t will be impossible To make the apprOpria-
ton adequate to meet even the positive and
necessary expenditures of the Department,
for the year.
The disbursements at your agency, in flu
ture, for the pay of yourself, sub-agent, and
Interpreter, and all other expenses, must not
exceed -- dollars; and you will endeavor,
by rigid economy, to make it as much less as
possible
If the number OF persons in the public en-
p!oyment at the agency, can be reduced with
Propriety, it ought to be done Immediately.
Funds will be RENTED to you from the
Treasury, upon your quarterly estimates, as
heretofore.

War, Nr. Graham, estimated the disburse-
inents of the Indian Department at $500. 200,
IN the year 1917. In his letter to the Com
mlttce OF Ways and Means ofthc 4th Of Janu-
AIRY OF that year, he states "'rhe expenses of
the Indian Department have been estimated at
100000; is, however, recommended that
this estimate should he Increased, so as to
make a permanent annual appropriation for this
object, of S250,000 at least. The circunscrib-
Ell limits Of most of the Indian tribes east os
the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, having reli-
dered their dependence upon the chase for
subsistence more precarious, has produced Il
more frequent intercourse between those In
dians and the agents of the United States, and
u consequent increase of the issue of ratons
and of presents to Them" In addition to
these causes, the number and Importance of
the treaties which have been held with the
Indians since the late war, the great increase
OF the annultics, and extension of the frontier,
have tended very much To increase the dis
bursements of the Indian Department. Be-
lieving II, however, to be the intention ofCon-
Sress that the expenditures should not ex-
coed 100000 per annum, efficient measures
were adopted shortly after the commence
ment OF the present administration OF this
Department, to reduce the amount of the ex :
penditure within that sum.
ACtiI, oh Tic Sdtllc principle after the re-
duction ofihe appropriation of the last SEES
sion to 100000 for the expenses of the De-
partment, every effort was made to reduce the
disbursement within the amount appropriate
ed, which could be made without deranging
the system established under existing laws
The consequence has been very considerable
reduction in the disbursements, but it has not
been practicable to bring the expenditure with
in the appropriation. Though measures were
taken Immediately after the passage Of the
act making the appropriations, yet at points
50 remote as those at which most Of the
agencies are fixed, nearly one half Of the year
had elapsed before any considerable diminu-
lion could be effected in the rate of expcndi.
ture authorized by previous appropriations, by
which time 1.-THE previous expenditure being al
the rate of 100000 per annum,) the appro-
prlaflon was nearly exhausted, and the ex-
pcnses of the Department have been accumu.
ating against the Government without the
means of meeting them.
All which is respectfully submitted.

STATE PRISONS.

As the message of Governor Brooks to the
Legislature has directed their attention to-
wards the bad architectural construction and
| interior government of the prison at Charles
tewn, the system of peniicntiary punishment
Will undoubtedly be one of the most prominent
topics of discussion, at the present session. In
truth u Is IN many respects, the most interest
ing subject that can engage the cxaminat ion
| of practical and enlightened statesmen.-The
question whether this system Of punishment
shall be continued or abolished, affects in its
decision some Of the highest interests of socie-
ty; the whole penal code is opened by its
dIscussioD, and as experiment upon the ma
ture of man made for the amelioration of his
condition, IS To- be persevered in or relinquish-
cd as hopeless.
| III IS common but not less true remark
that we are now almost as ignorant in this
Commonwealth Of the real advantages TO be
derived from Il pcnitentIary system, as we
were before our State Prison was erected
since the fundamental principles upon which
that kind of punishment was founded, have
been violated from the first establishment of
the institution. 1t ought TO have been render
ed terror TO evil doors, and it is VIGOROUSLY
mere bugbear as a school for accomplishing
thieves and robbers in the mysteries of their
arts, and AN agreeable place of resort for the
villains of society. But If the true species of
punishment had been infexibly carried into
execution, we have no doubt long confne-
ment in State Prison would have proved
strong bar against the frequency of crimes !;
but without such severity, we now know
