That is What the Dawes Com
mission Urges.
Congress Should Assume Con-
troll of the Indians.
CONDITIONS WORSE
Government of Territory In
dians Corrupt.
Something Must be Done for
Five Civilized Tribes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Included
in the report of the secretary
of the interior is that of the Dawes
commission to the Five Civilized
Tribes. The commission in reporting
its failure to negotiate with the In
dams say that the conditions have
grown worse instead of better since
the last report.
Attention is invited to the fact that
fourffths of the population of the In
dian Territory. amounting to 300, 1000
people, have no citizenship, and yet
are largely responsible for the pros
perity of the Indians and development
of the country. They are not intrud-
ers, but are invited under the laws of
the several tribes. These men have
built homes on Indian lands, made
property valuable, have children of a
school age, and yet are compelled to
educate them at private institutions
though subservient to the Indian
laws. In its conclusions the comm1s-
sion says:
1.-The commission is compelled by
the evidence forced upon them during
their examination into the administra-
ton of the so-called governments IN
this territory to report that these gov
ernments in all their branches are
wholly corrupt and irresponsl BILE.
1T is in the judgment of the com
mission, the imperative duty of Con-
gress to assume at once political con-
troll of the Indian territory"

PACIFIC BONDED ROADS.
Secretary Smith Discusses Relations With

the Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-One of the
interesting features of the annual re-
port to the president of Secretary
Hoke Smith is the discussion of the
relations between the government and
the Pacific bond-aided roads and of the
possibility of collecting the amount
due the government from these roads.
The report urges two things that
are to be considered: First-The col
lection of the debt due to the govern
ment, and, second, the creation of
great through line from the Missouri
to the Pacific, which was the original
purpose of the government leading to
the issue of subsidy bonds. The re-
port shows in detail the amount of the
ubsidy bonds, the amount of the in
terest which the government has paid
on them and the amount of the first
mortgage bonds.
The secretary says the net earnings
of each one of these lines during the
past ten years have made an average
of nearly six per cent on the sum OF
the first mortgage bonds and of the
government subsidy bonds, and sug-
gests the possibility of a new issue of
bonds guaranteed by the government,
drawing three per cent, equal IN
amount to the first mortgage bonds
and the subsidy bonds with the inter
est on the same. AS the road could
easily earn the interest on these bonds
and leave a handsome surplus, capital
lists should be found who would buy
the property. subject to the bonds,
and pay fair sum into the treasury
each year toward their liquidation
The secretary discusses the scheme of
the government directors and also of
the reorganization committee of the
Union Pacific and finally urges that
the government being in the attitude
OF second mortgage security holders,
it is absolutely necessary, in order to
protect its claim, that negotiations be
had between the government, the
other parties in interest, and such
capitalists as are likely to take hold
of the enterprise.
This work cannot successfully be
performed by Congress and the re-
sponsibility for it should be placed at
once by Congress upon a commission.
