Commission Affairs Investigation III

ONE MAN TO TAKE CHARGE,
Mr. Curtis VIII Offer Amendment to
The Indian Appropriation Bill Linn
fling The Commissioners, Time to July
l, 1906.

Washington, Jan. ~. $50 The many
reports concerning the Dawes commits.
sion within the past year will be off
cially taken notice Of in congress- and
there will be determined effort this
session todefne the limit within which
the commission shall complete its work
and go out OF existence. At session
Of the house committee on Indian
affairs, Mr.. Curtis of Kansas, gave no.
tice to the subcommittee that he will
prepare an amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill, limiting the time
for the completion Of the work of the
Dawes commission to July /, 1905.
This will give the commission one
more year of existence, in which time
Mr.. Curtis is confident it can close up
what business it still has to perform
in the settlement of the Indian 1ucs-
ton in Indian Territory At the end
of that time, if the commission still
holds on, the affairs will doubtless be
taken out Of its hands There is IA
general feeling in the committee on
Indian affairs that the commission
ought to be abolished and that a com
petcnt man ought to be placed in
charge of the work to finish it.
tits not improbable that u discussion
Of the commission will preeipitate a
debate in the house, that will lead to n
congressional investigation of the
Dawes commission. The commission
began operations in 1893. In 1893 it
gave congress assurances that it would
be able to complete its work in four
years. In 1900. it said that, if given a
large appropriation, it could wind up
affairs in the territory by July, 1908.
1t is admitted that its work was de-
layed at that time by the action of the
of the interior the work of
the citizenship court, and other causes,
but there is widespread feeling in
congress that the Dawes commission is
working an endless chain system, and
Mr.. Curtis, who is the most influential
authority in congress on Indian logis-
lation, is determined to fix a limit to
the existence of the commission.
Mr.. Curtis will also propose that the
secretary of the interior shall be placed
tn control of the leasing of all lands
belonging to the full-blood Indians
and their children, and to authorize
him to issue certificates to full bloods, |
