A good many intelligent people
in the Indian territory believe
that Oklahoma is burdened with
debts. This impression is largely
due to the endeavor of three or
four newspapers to influence the
Indian territory against union
with Oklahoma. Oklahoma will
have in round numbers next year
one hundred million dollars on its
assessment rolls which is about
twenty-five per cent Of the actual
value OF the territory's property.
The Indebtedness is under a half
million dollars, or less than one.
half Of one per cent Of the assessed
valuation OF the territory. Against
this is an OBJECT of about $3.50 900
held in the public building fund,
leaving a net territorial debt of
quarter Of million dollars, or one
fourth Of one per cent Of an unusu
ally low valuation. Oklahoma has
not incurred all OF it's debt In the
erection Of public buildings, hut a
goodly portion Of il was so created.
The territory has considerably
more than a half million dollars
invested in public buildings, how.
ever. Should Oklahoma and the
Indian territory be Joined into one
state the Indian territory would be
the gamer. Oklahoma would turn
over the new commonwealth yalu.

1t has been asserted by those
who oppose statehood for the In.
dian territory, that the fullblood
Indian will suffer; that taxation
would mean the confiscati0n OF his
land. Nearly everything has been
charged to the poor, inofTensive
fullblood. He has been held re-.
sponsible for the failure of all the
agreements proposed in recent
years, and now he is to be made a
scapegoat for the crowd who are
determined to head of statehood
with Oklahoma. The fullblood
would be especially benefited by
statehood. Conditions in the In.
dian country are about as deplor.
able to the real Indian az can be
imagined The lullblood has lost
everything dear to an Indian al
ready. His country is overrun
with whites, the game is destroyed
and the remnant Of bic race is
driven to the hills with every
means Of livelihood swept away.
As an Indian he remains only in
tradition; his council fire has long
since died out and he is a stranger
and a wayiarer in his own country.

sandwiched between thrifty farm
ers aud had the machinery of a
state government with which to
protect what little he has left.
Such talk aounds like the bitterest
irony, and calls to mind the old
fable of the wolf robbing the fox OF
the lamb in order to punish the
former and protect the latter. The
congress of the United States owes
it TO the common Indian to give
him statehood as a matter of right.
