DAWES COMMISSION ENDED.


when the Dawes Commission died
natural death Friday, June 30, its
existence expiring by law there passed
into history ono Of the great bodies,
whose work shall be recorded in
American history. At times delays
have been charged. but when one con
| siders the gigantic task assigned 10
| the commission and the manner In
which Il was handled, there Is no pro
test against their action.
For over half a century. the State
Capital says. quasi.indcpendcnt Indian
nations holding their land in common
have existed in Indian Territory.
Years ago congress conceived the idea
of making citizens out Of these wards,
but before this could be done H. was
necessary to allot their large tracts
Of land in sevcralty, do away with
their independent governments and
break M all tribal relations. This was
the worl. assigned To the Dawes Com.
mission.
II was necessary TO secure treat
les with the Indian tribes before the
real work of The commission began.
In eight years $4,000 heirs were iden.
tilted and enrolled. 2O0OO,oO0 acres OF
land. valued at hundreds of millions
Of dollars were distributed among
them, by the body OF practical Amer.
leans comprising the Dawes Commits
sion, OF which Senator Dawes of
Massacnusptts was the real father. |
Their record is satisfactory. unique
and remarkable. It. was the first thing
of the kind ever attempted, and with
nothing to guide them they have done
eXcellently.
Although the body expired by law
Friday, there remains much to do in
the preparing and delivering of deeds
to the lands that have been allotted, |
and other inattvs requiring atten-
tion In completing The work of the
commission. Chairman Tams Bixby.
Mr. Beali of Washington and Secreta-
ry Hitchcock will have charge. The
force is 10 be gradually reduced and

thing can DE completed in year.

Dawes Commission. the breaking upI
and allutting of the largo areas Of
Indian lands, and The expiration oil
