csiOn, and have leased the lands of
their minor children with the belief
that the right to be the natural guard
ian of their children carries with IL
interest without consulting the court.
Several such leases have been taken
into court This has made farmers
afraid to lease the lands OF minors.
AS result many fine farms are ly-
ing idle and bringing no revenue to
the owners.
Under the treaty white man who
married an Indian woman could not
look after the property interests of
his children, no matter how compet-
ent he might be. The mother could
not assume the guardianship, because
the act debarred married woman
from such duties. Thus the parent
were compelled TO see the affairs OF
their children managed by outsiders.
The ruling of Judge Raymond will
remedy this condition and make It
possible for the intermarried citizen
to become the guardian if otherwise
qualified.
When II was found impossible un-
der the treaty to find qualified citi-
zen TO act as guardian, the pOrperty
of the children was often left in the
hands of parents who had no idea
of the value of money or land. and
who wasted 1t with an abandon which
was disastrous to the interests of the
minors. This condition will no long
er be permitted in the Creek nation,
and every minor will have a compe-
tent guardian who will be held TO a
strict accounting for the property in
his hands.

The Law in the states.
When the Creeks instituted the
clause in the agreement providing
that noue but q Greek Indian could
act as guaidan for Creek child,
they enacted a law which has caused
mach loss in property and money to
minor children. In most cases 1t has
DC IN impossible 10 find citizens who
could give the necessary bond, and
as result fully twO-thirds Of the
iands of minors has been handled
either by parents who were incom-
petent, or were allowed to go un-
managed. This state of affairs has
resulted in much confusion and farn'-
ers have almost stopped leasing the
land of Indian minors, knowing that
in many eases the person acting for
the ward has no authority TO make
lease contract.
Judge Raymond formerly held
that the parent of Creek Indian
child 10 not the legal guar dian Of his
child's property unless duly appoint
