WHO SHALL OPEN THE
SECTION LINES?

Muskogee, April 11.-One Of the i'm
portant questions now being discussed
in eastern Oklahoma is: who has
authority to open roads on section
lines?9
The treaties with the Indians pro-
yided that they should take their al
lottments with the understanding that
they were to have enough land for a
public highway on every section line
The secretary Of the interior ordered
the section lines opened, and the In
dian agent was instructed to see
that they we're opened wherever a
complaint was made or request filed.
The law also provided that the secre-
tary Of the interior should apralse all
damages done until statehood should
become effective.
The enabling act provides that state
hood should In no way interfere with
the governments jurisdiction or ad,
ministration over the Indian allot-
ments In every county there are
scores Of section lines not opened. The
Indian agent claims that the county
commissioners must assume control
over such matters and is referring all
such petitions TO them. When or
how the Jurisdiction OF the interior
department was transferred to the
county commissioners is not explain
ed. But the Indian agent has no mon
ey to open the roads with, He is will.
ing to assume that the county courts
have jurisdiction, and in some instan-
ces the county courts have naturally
accepted the responsibility, but now
that petitions are coming in they are
asking why the secretary Of the inter
ior did not see that his order to open
the section lines was carried out.
