this argument goes demonstrates
that IL is msound
The Interior Department has not
seen nj as yet to recognize the opinion
OF the Supreme Court IN this respect,
but is still exercising supervisory con-
troll over United States citizens who
happen to he of Indian blood in the
Indian Territory They take charge
OF moneys derived from oil leases
belonging to individual persons and
refuse to pay II over except within
the discretion. and in piece-meal as
they see fit. or the theory that the.
Interior Department has supervisory
control Of the estates of such citizens

thereof his proportionate share of
the tribal property. 1t was necessary
to make the United States TO act as a
trustee for the distribution OF such
property.
The method was insisted on by the
United States. but the Interior De
partment not only insisted on enlarg-
ing this authority IN this manner. and
instead of permitting the Five Civil
ized Tribes to allot their lands Us tho
Ouapaws did IN the Indian lorritory.
without cost 10 the United States, and
without scandal aud without dissatis-
faction. the Interior department went
still further, and in order to extend
the official authority of the Interior
Department over United Stales Citi-
Gems of indian decent. the Interior De-
partmont insisted and compelled the
insurgents in such agreements of
stipulations TO the effect that no al
lottee should sell his land for a given
number of years. or lease 1t. except
with the approval of the Secretary of
the Interior.
This artful devise instead Of pro
tecting the Indians has only served
10 protect the employees OF the IN
terror Department in their salaries
ana in the continuance OF their official
| life by giving them a vast property

9isorv control. bat nevertheless they
are exercising it in great multitude
of cases. ignoring the Supreme Court

THE ambition of the Interior Depart
ment to rule is illustrated not only
nv the stipulations forced upon the
Five Civilized Tribes requiring the ap-

which really means supervisory con
lrol but IL is illustrated further by

undertakes 10 set aside about fout
million acres of land belonging 60 cit

arc The cestuis cue trust the United

them. This ambition OF the Interior
Department is shown by the manner
in which the coal lands and the as
