THE ALLOTMENT
Should be Made by Acreage
Without Appraisement
so Says
J. GEORGE WRIGHT
Who is Telling the Folks at Wash
ington That a Cherokee Full
blood is Content to Take
Poor Land in Payment
for His Inheritance

J. George Wright, resident in
spector in the Indian Territory for
the Indian Office, has been in Wash
ington for a week or more past
taking up matters of interest to
the territory with the interior de-
partment. Among other things
discussed was the approval of the
Creek and Cherokee treaties. The
measure carrying ratification of
both of them has passed both
houses of congress, as il was
amended in the senate, and will go
to c0nferees some time next week.
1t has been about decided that Mr..
Wright shall 60 before the con-
ferees and urge some amendments
which are thought wise. One of
these will provide that the Indians
be allowed to make their own
selections of land in the territory
for allotments and that the allot-
ments be based on acreage only
and not on value.
Mr.. Wright explained that the
task Of allotment is always a diff
cult one with the changeable In
dian, as he is prone to decide upon
a selection from past association
rather than its richness of agricul-
tural value. In the reservations
Of the Creeks and Cherokees, the
fullbloods live in the hills and up
lands and want to remain there,
whether the lands are valuable or
not. They have built habitations
and want to retain them. No
amount Of argument will convince
them that 1t is not for their good.
The half-breeds, he said, are
much more advanced in their ideas
and have settled in the rich low
lands. 1t would be an almost i'm
possible task to try to move either
class. A further argumentin in favor
of the proposition is that all of the
Indian allotments are made at this
time by acreage and not by valus-
ton. To let the matter 60 through
as provided for in the treaties at
present would mean the continu-
ance of the Dawes commission
work almost indefinitely, as the
officials of the Indian Office say
there would be endless trouble in
getting the Indians to accept allot-
ments other than those they pick
out of their own volitiOn.
Another amendment which Mr..
Wright will urge Is to provide for
communities which have less than
200 persons. Under the existing
law the department would not be
able to survey any towns which
have less than the number sug-
gested. The department will pro-
pose an amendment permitting
communities Of less than the 200
to acquire the land surrounding
them for 8 town site by purchase.

AppRAIsE THE LAND.

If ]. George Wright is correctly
quoted in an interview sent out
from Washington a day or two
ago, with reference to the allot-
ment of Cherokee lands by acreage
instead of by valuation, the indi-
cations are that he has at last sue
cumbed to the influence of the
monopolists. Any system Of al
lotment that gives one citizen less
of the common estate in value than
another is wrong. Such division
between white men would be
wrong, but where the indian is in
volved it is manifestly wrong, be-
cause the obligation Of the govern
ment to protect the indian is
greater.
All the agreements thus far made
with indians in this territory pro-
vides that the indians may make
their own selections of land but
that such selections must be ap-
praised.
Does Inspector Wright attempt
to say that those who have bad the
pick OF the country and have
selected the most valuable loca-
tions shall hold them against other
members of the tribe who have
been less fortunate? The Cherokee
constitution declares: "The lands
of the Cherokee shall remain COM
mon property" Therefore, the
Cherokee child of day old has as
great an interest in this common
property as the most prominent
adult in the whole tribe. The
government is bound by every rule
Of honor and fair dealing to give
each member of the tribe the last
cent due them.
The argument that will take too
long to appraise the land is not
worthy Of Mr.. Wright nor any one
else who assumes to be a statesman
and is entrusted with the guardian
ship Of helpless tribe Of Indians.

IF the wild ideas of some OF the
people who are taking a hand in
amending the Cherokee treaty,
now pending in congress, get into
that document, it is safe to say
that it will be knocked higher than
Gilroy's kite when it is submitted
to a popular vote Of the Cherokee
people for ratification.

How the shades of the old poets and
Underwriters would tremble with amaze

center of the famous land of Boeotia a

of water once sacred to the gods and the
heroes, and, having drained it, they are
now using its fertile bed as a great truck
farm. Melons. COLA, beets and other
vegetables are cultivated where naiads
used to disport themselves, and the cry
of the teamster, as he carries the truck
to market, is heard close by the spot
where once stood a famous oracle of

thus fallen a victim to the base uses of
