CLEAR SHERMAN
OF INDIAN BLAME
Select Committee Absokes Vice.
President Inland Deal.
CURTIS GETS CLEAN BILL
Senator Gore conc1rs III Finding and
IN Statement Declares No In
tent Existed q Accusing
~ the Two.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 22.-The select
rommittee which was appointed b
the house of Representatives to ihves
tigate Indian land affairs and the SO
called McMuITay contracts and which
also has been investigating the Gore
bribery charges issued the following
statement:
The COMMITTEES has heard and care
fully considered all the testimony sub
united and is unanimous in the opin.
ION that there is and was no warrant
for any person to use the names OF
Fice-President Sherman and Senator
Charles S. Curtis In connection with
any improper relations with any In
dian contract whatever"
This is the opinion Of the commit.
tee after hearing scores of witnesses
who appeared following the testimony
of Senator 7. p. Gore that he had been
approached by Jake L. Hamon, who.
acting in the interest of J. F. McMur-
ray, offered him Senator Gore) $685.
900 or $4,000 as a bride to promote
in congress the contracts by which
McMurray was to receive a ten per
cent. attorneys fee on the sale Of $780,
100000 worth Of Indian lands
The senator testified that Hamon
had mentioned Senator Curtis and
Vlce-President Sherman as being lin
terested" in the deal.
Gore Makes Statement.
In giving its decision the commit.
teet announced 1t had received from
Senator Gore statement relative to
Vice President Sherman and Senator
Curtis and that the committee com
mended" Senator Cores statement.
The statement read in part:
Neither the name of vice-President
Sherman nor of Senator Curtis was
mentioned by me on the floor of the
United States senate. That the name
Of either Of these persons was alluded
to by Mr.. Hamon was steadfastly with
held from the public until this inyesti-
CATION began.
Their names are disclosed finally
not with any view to fnculpating them
or with any view of suggesting guilt,
but merely in order that the truth,
and the whole truth, might be related
with reference to the details Of the
conversation between Mr.. Hamon and
myself.
While the public has had no reason
to suspect any such improper connec-
ton, yet I would venture to request
that the committee at the earliest
practicable moment make an authori-
tative finding and statement to the
effect that no evidence has been pre-
scented tending to establish any i'm
proper conduct on the part of either
Vice President Sherman or Senator
Curtis respecting the subject of this

CENSUS ENUMERA-
 TORS RATE OF PAY

Washington, D. C., Jan. P, ! 1910.-The varying wage scales Tn different parts of the country and the differences in the nature and extent of the local difficulties confronting the enumerators in the larger geographical divisions of the United States have infu- enced and guided United States Census Director Durand in the adoption of a classification of enumeratOrS' rates of cOmpenSa- tion, within the limits prescrib. ed by the United States Census law enacted by Congress.
 The different classes of rates will be so applied that in general the average enumerator will earn substantially the same actual amount in one district as in an other, even though the popula- ton may be much sparser in one than in the other, with other con- ditionS also different. Regard is paid to the fact that prevailing wages and salaries are higher in some parts of the country than in others, but, aside from this, the Directors aim is to adjust the rates so as to make the earn ingS of enumeratOrS substantial ly uniform. Where the per cap- ita rates would not give sufficient pay, the per diem rates are pre- scribed. The rates in general will be so adjusted as to give a ! slightly higher average amOsnt to the enumeratOrs than they received in 1900.
 Per diem rates of pay will be paid to the census enumerators in the sparsely settled rural dis tricts of Arizona, California, Col orado, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
 The rate will range from $5 to $6 per day for the enumeration of the rural areas outside of cities and towns. Six dollars is the highest rate authorized by law.

argument is based upon the theo-
rylthat it is better not to attempt
to collect d tax upon personal
property than to make an unsuc-
cessful attempt. While | recog-
nize that it is easier to collect
taxes OH visible than invisible
property, l am convinced that
the owners of visible property
should not pay their own taxes
and in addition thereto the taxes
that ought to be paid by the
owners of invisible property.
The farmer, for instance, has
his money invested in lands, in
improvements and in stock. All
of these can be found and their
value estimated. If, in the
cities. there are people of great
wealth who, instead of owning
lands and buildings and cattle
and hogs, owns money. and
notes and bonds. is it fair that
the owners of money and securi-
ties shall be exempt from taxa
ton? The man who loans usual
ly requires security-not only Sc
curity but a margin to cover
possible shrinkage in the value
of the property upon which the
security rests at this, the man
who owes must suffer a consider
able loss before the creditor
suffers any. Is it fair that the
man who thus must take his
chances upon the seasons and
run the risks of business should
also pay the taxes of the one
who is able to protect himself
from ordinary risks and chances?
If the law is made by those who
escape taxation, are they not
taking the property of others in
violation of morals even when
they act in accordance with the
laws which they have secured?
The government is a mighty
bower for good or for evil, for
justice OF injustice, and when
the government itself can be
manipulated for the enforce
ment of a law which rests upon
