SIOUX ARE NOT COMPLAINING.
Agent Brennan Explains Effect of
Live Stock Tax,

There Is no unrest among the Sioux In
dians," said John r. Brennan, United
States Indian agent at the Pine Ridge
agency, to reporter for The Star at the
Indian office today. 1.-The newspaper ar
ticles in which it has been alleged that
there is widespread discomfort among the
Indians at Pine Ridge are fabrications. 1t
has been said that the commissioner Of
Indian affairs had issued orders reducing
the rations of the Pine Ridge Sioux and
that the Commissioner had recommended
that no more payments of money be made
to them. These charges are without foun-
dation. The commissioner has promul-
gated new rule that all residents of the
reservation shall pay tax of one dollar
a head on all live stock owned by them in
excess of one hundred head The Indians
have made no complaint against this the
rule being in their interest. There are
very few Indians on the reservation whose
herds will exceed one hundred head 1t is
alleged, though, that there are many whit e
men who are married to squaws, and who
are herding on the reserve large numbers
of cattle for persons who do not live on the
reservation and it is at this class that the
rule is aimed. The tax collected on live
stock Is used for the benefit of the In
dians. The amount collected thus far Is
$500. and of this sum full-blood Indians
have paid only $110''
