THE INDIAN SERVICE.
menLatiOns for Their Support
5& Indian Schools. s

y Washington, Nov. 12-TheEtotal expendi-.
sture by the government on account of the
Indian service from March 4, 1889, up to and
including July 80, 1900, has been 1865, ,S5s,2l7,
according to the annual report of Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs William A. Jones.
The expenditures for the fiscal year ended
last July amounted to SO, 175, ,107. OF this
amount at least 1880, 600 was devoted to
the cause of Indian education. --a.- .~.-.-s.
Under the head of obstacles to self-sup-
port of the Indians the report deprecates
the ration system, annuity payments and
the leasing of allotments. The ration sys-
tenn, says the report, is the corollary of the
reservation system. The Indian population
OF the United States is about 267,9O0. OF
which $40 receive a daily ration. The ra-
ton issued and its value vary according
to the tribe. Nearly two-fifths of the num-
Sioux nation. The ration has been grad
ually reduced in the past few years in ac-
cordance with the policy of the Indian
bureau. If the Indians claim for. full ra-
lions as a right is conceded, the commis-
s1oner predicts that the time when they
Will be self-supporting lies in the very dis
tant future, If it comes at ALL A number
of the Indians also are assisted by occa-
sional issues and at several agencies the
OLD and INDECENT are provided for. These
aggregate about 12,570. Altogether there
are $3.50 Indians receiving subsistence in
some degree, exclusive of Indian children in
boarding schools The commissioner urges
That the indiscriminate issue of rations
should stop at once. The old and helpless,
ne says, should be provided for, but rations
should be issued to the le-bodied only
Tor labor, while those who have been edu-
Gated In Indian schools should depend en-
t1rely on their own resources.
Annuities distributed last year aggre-
gated $l5O7, ,543, the per capita ranging from
ffE
large money payments to the Indians are
oemora1zlng in the extreme. They de-
grade the Indians and corrupt the whites;
they induce pauperism and scandal and
crime; they nullify all the good effects of
years OF labor. Unscrupulous people induce
the Indian to 90 into debt, and then, when
the debt has accumulated and the Indians
credit Is gone, pressure is brought to bear
py the creditors upon the government to
pay the Indian so that he can pay his hon.
est 90 debts. The state of affairs growing
out of this around some of the agencies is a
scandal and disgrace.
There are $50 Indian schools of all kinds
conducted by the government. and an in
crease of 1,412 pupils in enrolment and
LIZ In average attendance shown over the
previous year. About 5000 of the "a, 900 ell
glo1e school children are unprovided for
compulsory education of the Indian chill
oren is strongly tndorsed, and congress is
urged to authorize the commissioner to
place every one of school age in some
school, the selection of the school to be left
largely to educated Indian parents.
