SUPREME COURT SAYS
INDIANS ARE NOT
CITIZENS
DECISION AGAINST cROCTAWS
AND cHIckAsAWs AFTER A
LONG LEGAL BATTLE.

Washington, Nov. Sin an opinion
by Justice Holmes, the supreme court
of the United States today decided
against the complainants in the case
OF the $4,000 Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians. who asked for redress for
being excluded from the citizenship
rolls of those nations when they were
prepared by Secretary Hitchcock of the
interior department on March 4, 1907.
The suit was instituted by j. L.
Fleming In the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Okla
homa and Was sensational in its
charges. Ii declared the citizenship
court had been bribed: that s750.noo
had been paid 10 the Oklahoma legal
firm of Mansfield, McMnrray 4 Cor
nish as the result OF unlawful con-
niving. and. notwithstanding these
charges had been brought To the at
tention Of Secretary Garfield, he had
failed to Investigate them.
II Was also asserted that the secre-
tary had withdrawn vast areas Of land
for reservation purposes and for other
uses contrary to law. Claiming 10 be
entitled to share of the choctaw and
Chickasaw funds and lands. under the
terms of the treaty between the In
dians and the United States, which
was entered into in 1880. the petitions
ers asked for decree compelling u
general accounting for the award of
their proportion OF the property and
for an injunction prohibiting further
proceedings looking tn the alienation

ATTORNEY GENERAL GALEN RE-

Special to The Daily Mssoulian.
Helena. Nov. S.-If the assessed
valuation of property i'm Montana
next year exceeds three hundred mill
lions. can the state in the face of a
constitutional provision fixing the
maximum levy at a mill and ii half.
collect under levy of two mills and
Il half? This is what the state board
OK examiners desires TO know?
Attorney General 4. j. Galen says
it can be done. but he suggests that
the courts pass upon it. so that If
his opinion Is untenable retrench-
ment and curtailmcnt of expenditures
may be speedily made to keep tha
state out of financial "mharfass-
ment.
The valuation now is only twenty
millions from the three hundred mil
lion mark. Last year a gain of thirty
millions was made and II the same
proportionate increase is made this
year the mark will be passed.
In a long opinion submitted to the
board the attorney general holds. i'm
substance. that as the legislature
fixes the levy, and that il WAS fixed
at the last session for 1919 at two
mills and a half: that this levy is
valid until the legislature again
meets.
1t is his belief that section Q. article
Il. of the constitution, providing
that the maximum levy snail rot
be more than mill and half when
the assessment reaches three hundred
Millions" means that Ii shall not be
more than mill and "A half when
levied by the legislature, as the con-
stitution is not a self-cxecuting in
strument.
Ii this We're not the case, he con-
tinues. and the classification should
change between sessions of the lcgis-
laturc. there would he no levy fixed
for the year in which the valuation
exceeded the classification in force
when the last levy was made by the
legislature, as only that body and
none other. has authority to make a
levy.
He holds that the board Of exam,
iners can audit claims and allow eN-
penditures against the appropriations
of the last Legislature which Were
based in theory on levy of two mills
and half.

ELIOT SAYS PEOPLE
MUST BES7IR
THEMSELVES
HEAD OF CONSERVATION ASSo.
CATION WARNS AGAINST
POWER oRAssERs.

New York. Nov. s.-Dr. Charles w.
Eliot. president of the National Con-
servation association, today issued a
statement on the danger of monopo-
listic control of the sources of power
in this country. which Is declared to
be urgent. The statement is made in
the form of an appeal to the Amer
lean. people and deals particularly
with the discussed question of
the coal fields of Alaska. 1t says:
THE National Conservation asso-
citation lis convinced of the urgent
need of immediate measures to pre-
vent the control of the great sources
of heat and electrical power in the
United States from being seized by
monopolistic organizations. and to Sc
cure the best development of these
sources in the interest of the whole
people. These sources are waterfalls
and coal.
THE following statement describes
the situation with respect to coal
lands:
'.The coal lands In the possession
of the United States are being rapid
ly absorbed under the present made
quate law. The fields of Alaska, es-
timated to contain $1,000. 100000 tons,
shall remain the heritage of the peo-
pie. But bad as il the general coal
land law of the United States. that
of Alaska is even worse. for there the
government is absolutely limited to a
charge of $40 an acre. which is less
than onc-tenth of the real value of
these coal lands,
Legality Of Withdrawal Questioned.
There are already a'snlt 500 en-
tries in the Alaska coal fields. 1t is
true the field was recently withdrawn
from entry. but the legality of that
withdrawal has been questioned. Even
il the 800 existing claims now com
ing to trial should be declared fraud
ulent. new claimants may file on the
lands under the Objectionable pro-
visions of the existing laws without
restriction against monopoly and
waste. and without other necessary
provisions.
I'VE have urged the present ad-
ministration to postpone for the COM
mon good the trial of the claims. and
We have no doubt. in view of the
facts and of the policy of the admin
istration as declared by President
1ait IN MS SpeeSn AT spokane ON
September IS that our request will be
granted.
There is a limit. however. beyond
which such delay cannot go. Should
congress fail to act at the coming ses-
sion. it is possible the opportunity to
obtain adequate legislation for the
coal lands still in the possession of
the United States will be lost.
THE situation with respect 10 wa
ter power development. both in the
public domain and on nayigablc
streams. is substantially similar tn
that with respect to coal. The water
powers cannot be effectualiy devel-
oped for the public interests under
the existing law.
rive therefore appeal to the Amer
lean people to bring the urgent needs
of the situation to the attention of
their representatives in congress in
order that suitable legislation on the
matter may be enacted. To this end
every individual citizen is urged 10
! do his duty

lPnrtland Lnnrnnll


Salem has experienced q phenome-
nal growth during the past two years
that can hardly be surpassed by any
other city in Oregon outside of Port
land herself, perhaps. The develop
ment has not been rapid and spec
tacular, but substantial and conserv-
ative.
II is stated that Salem has grown
more in the past two years than in
the 10 years preceding. To substan-
tiate this statement II is estimated
by the Salem Board of Trade that
during the past IL months,and at the
present time, there have been and are
under construction nearly 500 dwell
ings and business houses and that
during the IL months just prior near
ly 400 buildings were completed.
Some of these buildings will compare
favorably with any now being built
in the larger cities.
Among them is the new United
States National Bank building, for
which the steel frame is now being
put into place. This building is at
the intersection of the two principal
streets. State and Commercial will
be five stories high and will cost
100000.
