The latest proposition involving
a reform in the house is that to do
away with the desks and the chairs
which now crowd the immense
chamber and substitute benches in
stead, just as in the English lower
house. The chamber will then be
cui in half, the remaining space to
ne devoted to cloak rooms and COM
mittcc rooms. This, of course, is
not at all popular with the members
of the house but something has got
to be done, as the next census will
soon be taken, and the member hip
in the house will be greatly in
creased. 1t is now crowded to
about the limit. This will have
considerable effect on the attend
ance, as members will not sit
around all day OH uncomfortable
benches, but will retire TO their
rooms or to the various cloak rooms.
In spite of some opposition on the
part of certain cabinet members,
the administration finally decided
to permit the Pacific battle-ship
fleet to visit Japan and China.

Even the most ignorant full-blood
Indian is by no means benefited by
these restrictions. Much of the land
allotted to the full-blood Indian is un.
improved These Indians, as a rule,
are poor and have no funds with
which to improve their lands. If they
could only lease their lands, they
might have them improved in that
way. so that in a few years they
would provide some kind of an in

only sell their surplus lands the
. proceeds of such sale might be ap-
piled to permanent improvements on

But Mr.. Chairman, there Is one
fundamental fact which we must not
overlook in dealing with this propo
p sition and that is this: These In

j not hold their lands by the gooC

+ They bought these lands and paiC

You have exempted the Indians

casual glance into history will dis
close the fact that it has always
proven mistake to exempt any GER
tain class of people from taxation
1t is n greater injstce to those ex-
empted from this burden than it is
to those burdened by this exemption,
History will show that such injus-
tice as this has caused more human
bloodshed than any other one griev-
ance. Whenever attempts have been
made To exempt any certain class
from taxation a prejudice has inva-
r,ably sprung up against the exempt
ed class by those who had TO bear
the burden. This prejudice has been
known to exist for years after the
cause has been remoed,
The only prejudice existing today
against the Indian in Oklahoma
is due TO the fact that he will not

The Choctaws and Chickasaws are

crime to longer keep these people
under such bondage. Many of them
are growing old and will soon pass
