INDIANS NOT SATISFIED.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga complete
re-examination of the pine lands of the
Chippewa reservation in Minnesota il
now being conducted by the interior de.
partment, and the returns received
show many discrepancies, which GO
CURED In the first examination. More
than five years ago a law was passed for
the disposition Of the last great body OF
pine land ih Minnesota. All or the
other great tracts in that state, and
Michigan and Wisconsin as well.
have passed into the hands
Of private individuals or numbering
corporations. In Northern Minnesota
there was large tract Of pine owned
by the Chippewa Indians. "A bill was
passed to sell the lands and it provided
for the exam ination OF the lands by ap-
praisers who were to estimate the
amount OF pine on each tract. Consid-
cradle time has been consumed in sur
veying the lands. Since then an ex-
animation was ordered Charges We're
made that the first examination was not
accurate.
Discharged the Old Examiners.
Secretary Smith discharged the old
examiners and the new examination is
proceeding, showing that the pine lands
vary considerable, in their Judgment,
as to the amount of pine on various
tracts. After the second examination
is completed, there win still be large
amount OF timber TO be estimated. The
law provides that all preliminary work
must be done before any Of the nine
can be sold. The money resulting from
the sale of the pine ID TO draw interest
for the benefit OF the Chippewas. but at
the rate OF progress now being made it
will be five years before the sale can be
commenced. An effort Ii being
made to have the lands already
examined sold, and bills have been in
troduced in congress for that purpose.

pressed now until the burned pine in
the Northwest ID disposed OF, as that

disposition of the land may be long de- |

IT'S A PROBLEM.
Is a Government Agency
Extravagant?
The Political Science Club Meet and
Discuss KnOtty Questions in
Political Economy.

The Political Science Club, under the
auspices of the political science depart
ment of the University of California. held
its second meeting in the lPcture-ToOm of
the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art last
evening.
The meeting was devoted to the discus
sion Of the question: Are governmental
agencies necessarily eXtravagant 2"
Professor Bernard Moses of Berkeley
presided over the deliberations of the
club.
The only paper of the evening was read
by >. E. Moffatt. He took the negative
side of the question. and held that govern
mental agencies were not necessarily
prodigal. Mr.. Moffatt said: "That Gov
eminent work is often extravaganza IN
America is 4 proposition not open TO de-
bate; but the point 10 be examined is
whether this lack of economy be inner
ent IN the nature of public agencies
or whether it be pOsSiel" to manage such
agencies without il. Obviously no cita-
tons of instances of governmental extrav-
agance would have any per.Dence TO this
discussion. They would prove merely
what nobody denies-that Governments are
sometimes wasteful; they would do moth
ing toward dispIOviDg the pOss ibility of
official economy.
las Governments are instituted, operated
Influence If the same motives that control
men in other relations of life. The cause
OF the efficiency and economy of the pri
vate management of business. when they
exist, is that the self-interest of the men
who 40 or superihtend the work is en-
volved in the success of the enterprise.
The Government has advantages over
any corporation in the strength and variety
Of the motives to which it can appeal for
good service. 1t can offer civic honor.
public spirit and esprit de ccrps.
1.-The corporation can offer only money
and con Sequently 1t has to offer much of
that. The Government can always COM
mand higher talent for the same price than
any private employer. The present SecrP-
tary OF War went from a salary of $500
a year to one of 500, 600 in New York and
ne now has returned to the public service
at $0OO0 Cabinet officers frequently spend
more than the entire amount of their Off
cial salaries IN house rent"
The speaker took up numerous private
enterprises, and underworld to show that
the Government could run them at less
expense than private parties now 10. The
first industry lie assalled was the railroad,
lie argued that the railroads could be
controlled and run by the Government a
a lesser cost than they are now being
managed for, and at the same time give a
better and cheaper service to the public.
Mr. Motfatt supported his position with
an extensive display of statistics aud
opinions of prominent authorities.
lie next took up the telegraph, water
works and electric lights, in the order
named, and tried to show that the Gov
eminent could also run these cheaper than
they are now being operated.
Alter the reading of the paper it was
generally discussed.
