Ballinger's Influence
In National Affairs.

Richard Achilles Ballinger, the SEQ
rotary Of the interior who Is dis
credited in most quarters on account
of his alleged connection with the Cum
ningham claims and other Alaskan
land. frauds, must have a firmer hold
on the president OF the United States
than most people are wiling to admit,
or else President Taft is himself In
closer collision with what is known as
the Interests" than even his political
enemies are willing to believe.
The interior department Of the gov
eminent will soon begin the sale of
Indian lands in Oklahoma, presumably
to home seekers who desire to own
land and to build up farm for the
benefit of themselves and children.
However, the terms dictated by Secre'
tary Ballinger will keep these lands
from the very men who should make
the purchases-the actual homeseek-
crs and settlers.
The Indian lands will be sold in
lots of 100 acres of agricultural, forest
or mineral lands and GAO acres Of
grazing lands. A single purchaser
can secure these amounts. As these
Indian lands are valued at approx
mately $35 an acre and no opportunity
Is given to permit the land to help
pay for itself, the purchaser must
come to the sale with $1,4OO in his
pocket and with the ability to raise
the entire $500 within eighteen
months.
This bars the settler and will even
tually throw all Of these rich lands
Into the hands of the corporate in.
terests who have been trying for some
time to gain absolute control Of this
new state.
In contrast with this, look at the IT.
rigated lands in the west that the gov
eminent appropriated money to water
and is selling for the real beneft OF
the actual settler.
The man who takes up the govern
ment irrigated land only pays one
tenth in cash and he is given ter
years to make the ether payments
Moreover he pays no interest on the
deferred payments.
On the other hand the settler who
buys the Indian lands of Oklahoms
has to pay six per cent interest be
ginning at the day of sale.
OF course all this is done in the
interest of tho big land and grazing
companies:
\ The public expected little better
than this from Mr.. Balinger, who has
shown by his every public action, who
are his masters: but starting out In .
Arm belief In the sincerity and integ
rlty Of the president, these concur
rences OF his, that are becoming all
too common, surprise and grieve the
people Of all political parties.
This action of Ballinger regarding
the sale OF these Indian lands, is
neither more nor less than a crime.

In England and in other liberal
monarchies, when a popular election
shows that the people discredit the
administration, the members of the
cabinet resign and the throne forms
another cabinet. Just at this particu-
lar juncture it is rather unfortunate
that this system is not the custom in
America. II So, after next week We
would probably be rid Of Hitchcock,
Ballinger, Knox, Dickinson and a
whole lot Of other fellows, who are de-
sirable citizens all right, but mighty
poor oflicials.
