Homes for Working People.

An interesting experiment. has
recently been made at HARLEM, in
Holland, in the way of lodging
working people, which may sug-
gest similar action in some Ameri-
can cities.
Five years ago three co-opera-
tive societies undertook the con-
struction of a new quarter that
now comprises 269 houses and is
traversed by several streets. Ev-
cry house has been promptly rent
led, and in twenty years will be-
come the property Of The tenants.
Each Of the latter pays from forty
to fifty cents week rent, and in
return enjoys the use Of two rooms
with alcoves, kitchen, cellar
and a garnet, besides small gar
den. Every house has separate
water pipes, etc. The only obi
cation resting on the tenant is to
pay his rent regularly for twenty
five years. This condition speaks
volumes for the stability Of Dutch
lnstitutions.-New York Star,

the right thing for the general
Government to impose. Perhaps
the period is too long, twenty-five
years would have been better but
for the real benefit in this circum-
scribed proprietorship there can
be no doubt.
Again the Record argues that
Becker county would be compelled
to take care Of our paupers. There
need be no alarm on this score. for
the general Government does not
propose to pauperize the Indians.
But were such not the case. we
can assure the Record that the In
dian is rather noted for his strong
family and radical ties; so strong
that he never would permit a
friend to go to the poor house.
But if this argument will not
suffice, we suggest a final remedy,
a measure which we ourselves DE-
cIDEDLy FAVOR; that is to
Organize Il New County
out of what is now contained
within the limits at White Earth
reservation and such portion Of
the Red Lake reservation as shall
be retained. -. T.. Fl.
We are not anxious now, nor
shall we be at any future time to
saddle ourselves with a portion of
Becker county's large floating
debt! We really believe that it
would be better for us from a f.
nancial point Of view to have a
county GOVERNMENT OF OUR OWN.
Our needs for long while will be
simple, we will not need all the
elaborate machinery of the ordina-
ry county government. The Rec.
ord need not oppose the Nelson
bill from the grounds it urges, it
need only advocate the last meas
ure proposed and we shall aid it.
The quotation from the Crooks
ton Chronicle we will dispose of it
in a few words: The argument of
that journal is fallacious since it
deals in misstatements. -. r..
we can assure the Chronicle
that the Indian has advanced be-
You'd the digital method of compu-
tation. We invite anyone to at
tempt to defraud the average In
dian in the matter Of computation,
be it for the value Of labor or of
material, and he will find that the
Indian will hold his own. Con-
slant dealing with irresponsible
Government officials, has made
him wiser than the average white
man in matters political, and it
can be safely said he will never
endanger public safety by capri
cious voting.
He, at least, will be as wise as
the foreigner who begins to vote
before learning the English Ian
guage or American methods.

Detroit Record Us. Nelson.

Ao lGcCOIu appears UtlOTe the
bar of public opinion, as complai.
nant in a proposed action against
what is known as the Nelson In
dian bill. It cites certain dangers
which might. ensue, should that
bill pass the Senate and become a
law. There may be shadow of
truth in the alarm, but the tocsin
OF war against the bill should not
be acted upon before the whole
question shall have received wide
and comprehensive consideration.
This community is not DESTROYS OF
thrusting itself unwelcomed upon
any other, and if we are to be
looked upon as intruders we might
as well understand the facts now,
FATHER than later. But we wish
also to ascertain If there are any
We'll grounded reasons for this. de-
sire to keep us out of political
equality.
It is true to begin with, that the
bill contemplates the comforting of
citizenship. It is true also that
citizenship confers certain rights,
irrespective Of race, color or pre-
vious condition.
Argument Or opposition on this
score is beyond recognition for
Dawes bill provides for this and
is now a law. Any resident on
this reservation may with but few
preliminaries avail himself Of it's
provisions and become a citizen
and enjoy all the privileges with
out being a contributor through
taxation upon realty.
It ought to be considered that
in this country, there are thou
sands of citizens who are not tax.
payers in this sense, and that the
addition Of few more Of this class
will not bring dire ruin upon any
community. Let it be understood
that the Indians dealing in realty
is going to be very limited. For a
long period his homestead is to be
unalienable, and practically speak
ing, will entail no more expense
at record than so much wild land:
no more expense to- the country
than it is at present. There will
follow however this advantage.
By reason of his citizenship he
will be subject to personal taxa
ton. If he is encouraged in thrift
by the example Of his white fellow
citizens he will have stock, farm
machinery, gathered crops, etc.,
ETC., which can and will be taxed.
His roads he will pay for as any
other citizen does, by means of
special or poll tax, and if there ex-
lists no law at present which would
compel him to work out or paw
this tax, special State legislation,
providing for fine or Imprisonment
would act as an incentive. He would
vote. Yes, and so do thousands
who do not even pay personal
tax. If taxation is to be the cri-
terion--the test-then we call up
on the Record to raise it's voice in
favor of thousands of WOMEN who
PAY TAXES AND CAN NOT VOTE .
Who have not as much voice in
public matters as the raw male
recruit from foreign shores!
Undoubtedly it will seem hard
ship that thousands Of acres will
for number Of years go untaxed,
but as the individual during all
these years enjoys only the priv
lege Of exclusive use without the
