CUSTOMS REFORM

Proposal to Reduce Cost Of Collection by
Consolidating Districts.
Washington, Feb. Representative
Tawney has introduced a bill at the re-
quest, of the secretary Of the treasury to
reduce the number Of customs distrists.
The annual report Of the secretary
shows that at some Of these ports it costs
anywhere from 81 90 to $500 to collect 81 Of
revenue.
It is not proposed to abolish many ports
or SUPPORTS entirely, but to consolidate
the districts. 1t Is estimated that this
legislation would result in reducing the
cost of collecting revenue several hun
dred thousand dollars annually.

FOR LAKE SUPERIOR AND
MISSISSIPPI CHIPPEWAS.

: The bill which Senator Clapp
introduced for the appropriation
of moneys due under the treaty
stipulations between the Lake
Superior and Mississippi bands
and the United States, in 1912,
has passed the senate. We trust,
in order that the money will not
be squandered by the government
for saleries or unnecessary pnr-
chases, that the treaty stipulation
of 1854, which provide that all
sums that may be found equitably
due to these Indians, for arrear-
ages Of annuity or other thing,
under the provisions of former
treaties, shall be paid as the chiefs
may direct, will not be omitted
from the bill.

A RECENT RULING.

The secretary of the interior
has recently ordered that all child
rem born of marriages between
white men and Indian women,
solemniZed subsequent to the
passage of tho general allotment
act Of 1887, be immedietly
dropped from tribal rolls.
In view Of the provisions Of the
act of January If, 1889. which pro-
vide that the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota and their decendents
shall be the bencficiaries Of the
act, it is quite improbable that the
secretary's order will effect the
mixed blood Chippewas of this
state.

IS IT TRUE?

A report comes from Leech
Lake to the fleet that NJ o r
Scott has caused u petition to be
circulated among the Indians un-
der his charge in which the latter
are made to express themselves
in favor of the pine sales which
recently took place at Cass Lake.
Although a great many signed
this Petition, our informant
states that it is quite evident that
they did not know It's full purport
since they are unable to give an
intelligent statement regarding it..
1t is also stated that the agent has
started for Washington with this
petition.
We are not ready to vouch for
the truth Of this report, but if
Major Scott has not fully ex-
planned the petition and the
grounds for it's circulation, we
have been WRONG. III our estimate
Of him and his purpose to protect
the interest Of the Indians under
his charge.

CHIPPEWA INJUNCTION
SUIT.
Court Hears Arguments on Demurrer il
Naganab Case.

Washington, D. G., Jan. 20.
Justice Anderson, in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia
to-day heard arguments on the
dumerrur interposed by the sec
rotary of the interior, in the suit
brought by Joe Naganab to re-
strain sales of timber on the Chip
pewa reservation in Minnesota
under the Morris act. In the de
murrer the government claims the
suit should be dismissed because
all parties are not represented;
that the Suit involves all the Chip
pewas in Minnesota, and that Nag
auab represents only one small
band.
It is also claimed that the court
has no jurisdiction in that the act
of 1902, superceeds the treaty of
1889 and that the Indians are
wards of the nation and can be
dealt with by congress as it sees
fit. The government relies
largely on decision by the su-
preme court in tie Lone Wolfe
case in which it was held that
congress could legislate for the
Indians without their consent.
Decision has been reserved. W..

SHOULD SELL THEIR.
ALLOT MENTS.

| 1t has been suggested by some
of the members of this reservation
and men who have given the mat
ter considerable study, that the
aged and INDECENT members of the
tribe, should be permitted to sell
their allotments and have the
funds placed in the banks, to their
credit, but under restrictions
which would enable them to with
draw not to exceede ten or twelve
dollars per month. There are
hundreds of old persons on this
land other reservations in this
state, whose allotments are
doing them no good; they might
as well be owned by foreigners
for all the, benefit they are to the
owners. We know of one Indian
who died last winter without hav-
ing the barest necessities to make
his last days easier, notwithstand-
inc that he had an allotment with
large amount of pine timber
thereon. Had this man, who had
been cripple for more than
thirty years, been able to sell his
land and timber, he might still
have been alive, for there is no
doubt that the lack of food hast
ened his end.
There are large number OF old
persons, who have allotments on
this reservation who will never be
able to make use of them, and
who, if they could sell them would
be placed beyond the pale of want.
While this matter has been ag-
1itated to some extent, some steps
should be taken to get Immediate
action by congress. In thisconnect-
lion, however, there should be pro
visions made to prevent1any abuse
{ Of any law which might be sugges-
ted, and it should provide that a
board be appointed to pass upon
the eligibility Of the person to
which such a law should be APP
piled.

TO SELL ALL07MEN !
TIMBER.

Senator Clapp has recently in
PRODUCED bill in congress to per-
NIT aIlottees on the Chippewa res
ervation in this state to cut and
sell the timber on their respective
uIlotments. This bill, it is under
stood, provides that the timber
shall be cut and sold under rules
to be prescribed by the secretary
of the interior. The object of the
bill to permit Indians to make use
Of the timber on their allotmcnts
is very important to their interests,
but in view of past experiences
the provisions which require the
secretary of the interior to pre-
scribe rules is wrong, and il
would be far better If it should
not pass rather than have the
allottees harassed by restrictive
rules, and the funds derived from
the sale of their timber paid out
to political favoritlcs as saleries
in holding sinecure positions.
Under existing laws, allottees
may cut the timber on their allot,
ments for the express purpose OF
putting the land in a state of cul,
tiyation, and after this timber is
severed it may be sold by the
owner regardless of any rule OF
the department. This is being
done quite extensively on other
Chippewa reservation than this
in this state, and the allot-
tees are thus being en-
abled to improve their allot-
ments from the timber they have
been selling, which has been SO
severed from the land. 1t would
be Intimately better for allottees
to operate under existing laws
than to have their timber cut
under departmental supervision.
and unless the provision requiring
this supervision is cut out of the
proposed law. we hope congress
will not pass it.

FOR WHITE EARTF
ALLOTTEES.

Through the courtesy OF Willie
Campbell, we have received the
following bill which was intro
ducedon the 18th. of last month by
Congressman Stevenson.
Since the promises Of the Chip
pewa Commission that the Miss
issippi Chippcwas would received
al]otments Of 100 acres each, have
become known to him, Mr.. Steen-
ersen has taken a deep interest in
having these promises fulfilled, and
we hope his labors will bear fruit.
1t was principally, i'll fact only,
upon the condition that every
member of the Mississippi bands
on this reservation would receive
allotments of 100 acres each that
the Rice Commission succeeded in
getting the assent of the Indians
on this reservation to the act of
January Il, 1885, under which
they ceded all their reservations,
exceptthe White Earth, reservation
in this state. But when some of the
allotments were made, the depart
ment of the interior raised the
question which has deprived the
Indians from securing allotments
as agreed upon between them and
the comission.

WHAT IT DOES.

1t is evident from commune
cation we have received from one
of our Leech Lake friends, that
the forestry provisions of the
Morris Act are not understood by
the Indians at Leech Lake. If
the latter wish to become fully
informed regarding all the pro-
visions Of the act, we would advise
them to call npon their agent.
Major Scott, and ask him to read
it over to them exactly as it is
written and without any attempt
to smooth over its rough edges.
We have, through the IONA
HAWK, endeavored to explain what
the act provides, 50 that any of
our readers could understand it,
and for this purpose we have also
published the full text Of the act
itself. However, in order that
there can be no misunderstanding
regarding the amount Of tribal
property which the act TIA lSes from
the Indians without providing for
any compensation, we Will briefly
say that, for forestry purposes,
200, 900, acres of the pine lands
are set aside, and also the PENN
sula at Leech Lake knoWnas Pine
Point, whichis estimated to contain
1000 acres. also $4,000 acres of
agricultural land and ten sections
adjacent to the pine forest reserve,
in all 23S, 400 acres. This does
not include the islands ia Leech
and Cass lakes nor 100 acres at
Sugar Point which are also set
aside, but which are to remain
ostensibly as Indian lands but
were really set aside for forestry
purposes.
The value of 23S, 400 acres of
land allowed by the act of : 1889,
would be 1898, 900. and this is
what the Morris Act takes from
the Chippewas.
In addition to this, there was
! 1913, 1885, 900 feet of timber sold on
the 2Sth. of December last. Five
per cent of this timber is 1859,
300 feet, which with the five per
cent of the timber sold on Deem
Der 5th, last, and the value of the
lands which have been taken
would easily amonnt to $500,
600. The burden of expense
which the forestry provisions
of the Morris Act places on
the Chippewa, including the pro
vision for the burning of the de-
bris of numbering operations, will
hardly be covered by 81. 900.
The lumbermen who bid on the
timber at the Cass Lake sales on
the 9Th, and 2Sth. of December
last, do not hesitate tosay they
made allowances for the expenses
of the burning of the debris when
they made their bids. and
thus these expenses naturally
fall upon the Chippewas.

 What happy mortals some people are. A man said to-day that he saw none of the lightning last night and didn't hear the thunder. He retired early and slept like a top until 6 o'clock this morning The storm of last night was brief affair, but it was a good one just the same and the few crashes of thunder made such a racket that many thought the houses were coming down. It ratned, too, and folks who were out of reach of shelter and were dressed up in their fineries got the starch taken out of them.
