INDIAN PAYMENTS
TO Be CHANGED
SYSTEM INTRODUCED WITH IN
TENT OF KEEPING GRAFTERS
FROM GETTING MONEY.

Washington. d. c., March 1S.-ln-
dian payments in future in sausfac-
ton of court judgments will be made
under the direction of the officers OF
the interior department instead of the
courts and the treasury department
Complaints arising out of the recent
Cherokee payment of s. 100000 in
Oklahoma is held responsible for this
legislation by the last congress. The
payment was made by an agent of the
court in conjunction with the treasury
department. The interior depart
ment, which is charged with the ad
ministration of indian affairs, was
eliminated almost altogether.
One of the gravest charges In con-
nection with the Cherokee payment Is
the allegation that the Indians were
required to sign their warrants in the
presence Of the dlsbursing officer
thus placing the Indians at the mercy
of hundreds OF unscrupulous claim
agents and debt collectors who were
permitted to congregate around the
disburslng agents headquarters wher-
ever payments We're made. The war
rants, once signed, were equivalent
to cash, and many instances are cited
where "grafters" got into possession
Of the money.
This was the way 1t was done: At
every place of payment the Indians
were formed in line. When an In
dams name was reached on the roll
for payment n clerk in loud. stento'
rian tones, would announce his name.
This operated as sigma to the
"neecers" that the Indian was about
to be paid. Once paid the red man
would walk into the awaiting arms
of the "grafters " who would either
threaten or cajole him out OF his war
rant or most of it. OF course, most
OF the intelligent Cherokees were not
grated to any extent, but even some
of these, It is said, turned their drafta
over to men who posed as bankers
and solicited Indian accounts. The In
dans would be given receipts for
their money, but that is all they had
to show for 1t in the end.

Want the Decisions,
Whatever Their Purport

Wall Street has cultivated the belief
that II will not matter how the United
States Supreme Court shall decide the
trust cases, says the Evening Post All
that it wants is to get them out Of the
way. Perhaps it will not matter.
Possibly it will matter a great deal
less than Wall Street expects. When
bull says 1t does not matter he means
that the market will go up in spite Of
unfavorable decisions; when a bear says
It, he means something else. What Wall
Street does expect is that the decisions,
whatever they are, will break the specu-
lative deadlock and put life into the
stock market.
What II they should fail to have even
that effect? It's not mattering in that
way how the Supreme Court shall de-
eide, the cases has not been considered
1t Is too calamitous to be thought of.
Everybody says the uncertainty as to
the decisions is the restraint upon
speculation, but what must be done,
then, with the principle that uncertainty
is the breath of speculation?
with the trust decisions out of the
way, what II speculation should still
wait upon the uncertainty as to what
will be done by Congress in special ses-
sion, uncertainty about the crops, un-
certainty about politics in 1912, and 50
on? There Is always a lot Of uncer-
tainty; 1t is the business of speculation
to take the risk of uncertainties. In so
far as speculation waits upon the de-
cisions in the trust cases, 1t waits not
because of uncertainty, but because the
holders OF stocks have sold all they
wish to sell and buyers have bought all
they wish to buy, whatever they think
as 10 the outcome. and that other in
centiyes are lacking.

Money Is Very Easy
And AccumulatiVe

From Henry Clews' letter.
The greatest accumulation of idle
money is at New York, because interior
| banks force their surplus upon their
New York correspondents in the hope
that the latter may be able to find en-
ployment, even at low rates. At the
moment there is a good deal OF nearby
money in New York, which is not likely
to be required for the next three or
four months.
Europe owes us large sums on account
of security purchases. and in payment
for our exports, and under present
conditions It pays better to allow these
sums to remain abroad as loans.
Later on in the year when the in
terror begins to withdraw its funds from
this center, then, II not sooner. We may
expect gold imports upon a liberal
scale This week currency shipments
to the interior have been on a more lib
eral scale, owing to preparations for
April settlements, after which these
funds will return to New York.
During the eight months OF the fiscal
year, or up to March l. our foreign
trade showed an excess in exports over
imports of $41S,0 900. compared with an
excess of $1SsOOO,oOO a year ago. This is
a turn for the better of $3.50, 10000 in our
foreign trade balance, a change of al
most startling and certainly very en-
couraging proportions. Conditions are
such as to favor a continuation of this
tendency, for commodities are declining
here and tending to rise abroad, a situ-
alton which naturally discourages i'm
ports and stimulates exports. In the
two months of January and February
our exports were $1O4. 10000 larger than
in the same two months last year, and
left trade balance in our favor of
