The Chelsa Banner, the new progressive
Cherokee paper, has the following on allot-
ment:
The present order gives the majority of
the full bloods but very small portion of
the public domain, as he is occupying the
hilly, rocky part of the county where he
kas his little patch and he must be con-
tent with this little, poor spot for the rea.
son that the wealthy half-breeds and
others with less Indian blood in them hold
and have fenced nearly all the good tilla-
BILE handsome of them holding from 1000
to $4,000 acres and even as high as 20.OO0
acres Thus the Door indians lands are
taken and held by these wealthy men to
their own advantage and to the dIsadvant-
age of the poorer class of Indians; ana the
poor are no better off than if a white man
owned and occupied these lands. Nor does
it stop here The wealthy men are no5
taxed TO support the government OF the
Cherokee nation, but the expenses OF the
national government are paid ont OF the
common funds belonging to all alike.
Thus poor Indian with lit
tie patch" in cultivation "a few
acres-must have as much OF his money
taken aud appropriated to pay the run
ming expenses of the government as the
man who has 20,0 900 cattle aud 600 horses
and IL, 600 acres of the best land IN the
nation cultivated for his own aggrandise-
ment, and to fill his own Golfers. But.
when we venture to ask Judgment for
these poor, downtrodden Indians, then
UnOSe WHO occupy All thc 'StS W. t"''N
part of the lands, cry out: you wish to
rob the poor Indian of his patrimony."
When, in fact, he is already robbed by his
brother, who claims 20 be red.
The only practicable plan that we can
see TO break up this vicious 81 stem is allot-
ment, then statehood, so that all will be
taxed in proportion to what they have to
protect, and the wealth man will have to
pay in proportion to his wealth, and the
poor man will pay but little as be has but
