watching the proposed legislation for
the Choctaws and Chickasaws. Mr
McMurray has for so long been con.
nccted in an official capacity with
these tribes that hc is always on hand

Washington. He believes that the coal
lands belonging TO the Choctaws and
Chickasaws should be- sold 70 the gov.
ernmcnt and does not believe they
can ever be proftably sold 10 anyone
else. II appears that this idea has
also taken hold OF congress In n
measure and there have been several
propositions 10 that end discussed this
winter, the oklahoma congressman
agreeing that II would be well 10 give
the government n chance 20 buy the
lands II Il so desires. Unless some
great corporation could be organized.

chaser that would have the ready
cash 20 mako the purchase outright.

The Fort Fairfield Review has a
pointed suggestion to make which is
worth considering. II says: 1t is
not too early for every legislative
district in Maine to make sure that
IL will lie represented in the next
legislature by friend OF the income
tax. We do not at all doubt that the
overwhelming majority of the people
OF Aroostock are in favor OF This
soundest and justest of taxes. The
people should question the candidates
for nomination for the State Senate
or House of Representatives and see
whether or not they will, II elected,
vote in favor of the proposed income
tax amendment TO the United States
constitution The common people
have now to bear vastly more than
their share of the burdens of govern
ment Should not the very rich be
asked to bear more nearly their
share? 1t is for the people them
