| these municipalities are without yestige
Of title to the aliotments upon which they
stand
| The recent act which prohibited the
launching of any more government town
sites caused numerous spectators to con-
oeet plans for evading the letter of the
| law. which. perhaps. was not sufficiently
distinct. Then, usually with the ostensi
bic support OF railroad. these townsite
| companies, by paying literally, secured
The consent of the Indian ailottee for the
building of city upon his land. The al
| lottee was required TO afflx his signature
TO a large quantity Of right OF occu-
| pancy' forms, and these forms, when
also signed by the company, constituted
the title of the lot purchaser. The COM
panies, il seems, promised everything.
but guaranteed nothing. The fact that
the interior department had not in any
way interfered with the opening of these
towns was used as an extra incucement
for the sale of olts, and 1t was argued
that the department would not dare turn
down the titles in fifteen or more pcpu-
lous communities.
In order then 70 carry out at least one
the adoption of the highest bidder" plan
of selling Creek Indian lands by the in
terror department decided to get the al
lottee to consent to a fiat price of $50 per
acre. This was easily accomplished. The
allottees were then taken before the
Dawes commission, where they signified
their Willingness TO sell all but their
homesteads at the agreed price The
Dawes commission then recommended
that the secretary of The interior remove
the highest bidder restriction and al
low the allotment upon which the town
stood. to be sold to the applicants.
This recommendation the secretary
promptly turned down and gave instruc-
tions that the land must be sold as other
lands, to the highest bidder. Mr.. Hitch
cocks decision thus means that the high
est bidder. whoever he may be, can be-
come the sole owner of the land upon
which a valuable town stands. This nat
urally precipiteted pandemonium among
those whose investments were heavy in
those towns, and small holders saw their
possessions slip from them. Plans were
Immediately put under way to secure the
leniency of the secretary, but so far he
has refused TO reconsider his decision.
Mr.. Hitchcock takes the position that
all townsites outside of those recognized
by the government are necessarily He
gitimate, and that those who invested in
lots in them gave up their money for
something they could not buy and which
none had the right TO sell Since the
opening OF these towns, however. a plan
for selling land has been put into effect,
and they will have to go just as any other
land sells Attorneys have centended
from the firstthat this could be the only
result of opening these towns, and argue
that under the law Secretary Hitchcock
could have given no other opinion.
Among the towns affected are Weieet-
ka Okemah. Paden, Spokogee, Boynton,
Lincoln, Castle and Morris.
