Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1912-01-12

Something must be done to give re-
lief to the unemployed and enable
hundreds of men who are willing to
work to at least get the price of a
meal and a bed. This is a condition
of things that has been brought about
by bringing into the city thousand
or more transient laborers to do the
railroad work and the work on public
contracts, and then the rough weather
has stopped work, and they are desti-
tute. Hundreds of working people in
the city have been deprived of labor
by bringing in the contract labor from
other cities, and even Marion county
has had large share of the county
work done by Greeks and Italians the
past year.
What Can Be Done!
Inquiry at the mission and cheaper
lodging houses shows that they are
overrun with transients who cannot
pay, even though they go to bed with
out food. THE pastors of churches
complain at the large number who
call on them for relief, and are unani-
mously OF the opinion that some con-
certed action must be had to enable
those willing to work to get enough
work to at least enable them to live.
DR.. Avison, of the First NJ. f. church
was interviewed, and said the plan
adopted at St. Paul Mimi, was the
best he knew of, and had rid the city
of tramps and those unwilling to
work. There is a dead-beat class
who will even get up in religious meet
ings and make oral professions to get
free meals A system that will weed
out frauds and the undeserving, and
give the worthy but unfortunate class

Under the criminal allotment act
all Of these four classes Of persons

imposed. In the course Of nature
Congress contemplated that many In

have an allotment, provided that the
heirs may sell the land thus inherit

led among the various tribes.
Among the Choctaw and Chicka-

a matter of grave discussion among
the attorneys as to whether these re-
strictions applied to the person Of

ION. ]. :. MULLEN,

The government appropriated
sum Of money to bring suits affecting
classes But, instead of proceeding
cautiously as was contemplated by
the makers of the law, the govern
mant made a drag net proposition of
the affair and brought suits involy-
ing 10000 transactions. 1t is need
less to discuss the unfairness, the
hardship, the burden and the disas-
trous effects upon business that such
indiscriminate conduct imposed upon
the people of this state. The SUI
Dreme court of this state, in the case
of Hancock. vs.. Mutual Trust COM
Tany, had held long ago that con

these lands thus inherited in the
ChOctaw and Chickasaw nations, and
Notwithstanding this decision OF the
states most important tribunal, those
in charge of the government affairs,
in their alleged anxiety to assist the
Indian. instituted these judicial pro-
ceedings by the wholesale. The
defendants, among whom | am one,
raised the following contention: 1st,
That the Indian. whose rights were
affected. never authorized the bring
ing of the suits. that his rights had
not been affected. that he had been
haid a valuable and sufficient con
sidaration for the lands thus convey
ed. was satisfied with the convey
lnce made, and that the government
lacked capacity to sue. md. That
even if the government did have the
right to sue. that the conyeyances
made by these heirs conveyed COM
plete title. and the government, in
view Of this. could not legally main
tain the actions.
Judge Campbell of the eastern dis
trict OF Oklahoma sustained the tirst
proposition, but declined to pa 5 up
on the second, whereupon an appeal
vas prosecuted immediately TO the
United states court OF appeals at Sa

The supreme court OF the United

of important decisions affecting

representative saw j. 5. Mullen OF

Mullen is one largest land owners

versed men in the state, if not the
best versed, affecting land values,

u. 5. Mullen, ct al, VS.. the United
States. the court further held that
though the government might have
the right to sue, provided restrict
ions did exist, and held further, that
in as much as these Indian heirs, es-
peciallv in instances where the al
lotment was taken by an adminlstra-
tor and the heirs had conveyed title,
that the land thus conveyed was not
estricted land, and such land had
passed beyong the control of con-
gress, and that such conveyances are
not contrary to any existing statute,
and therefore valid and binding.
In the 10000 land suits the follow.
ing questions of law are raised, and
the status of each is now as follows:
list: Could Indians, under the va
rious allotment acts, sell his surplus
allotment, or did the act OF April 20,
1906. Section 9 thereof, commonly
known as the McCumber amendment
prevail? This question so long drawn
out has been settled in favor of the
government in the case styled Mar
chic Tiger VS.. Western Investment
company. and such conveyances are
void.
End: May the heirs to inherited
lands in The Creek and Cherokee ma
tions dispose of such lands without
the approval OF the secretary of the
interior prior to the statutory period
of five years? This question was de-
cidsd in the Marchie-Tiger case
Such conveyances are void.
"3rd Did the act of April 2lst
1904 remove the restrictions on the
freedmen among the Five Civilized
Tribes, except as to ChoctawIChick-
saw freedment The United States
circuit court of appeals recently held
that it did. This point is not yet
determined by the supreme court of
the United States, but will be de-
cided, We think, next Monday, or
shortly in the pending Seminole case.
"4th: Are the homesteads of de-
ceased Indians who filed in their
lifetime and then died, and the con-
veyance executed prior to April 26,
1906 by the heirs valid? This is de-
cided by the supreme court of the Uni
ted States in the case of J. S Mullen
vs.. United States. Such conveyances
are valid.

pected next Monday in the case OF

goo and suits brought by the govern
ment under their respective classes,
should be Immediately settled so
that this long drawn out litigation
so fraught with disaster and which

grafton to this country will become
matter of painful history.
Il regard this case OF J. S. Mullen

been rendered by any tribunal affect
ing this state in a generations, as mill

1t has been a long drawn fight,
much doubt as to land titles has been
created but the above decisions
make the situation clear. With good
crops for this year, OF which we have
every reason pleasantly to anticipate.
this country will come into its own.
In this connection it is not amiss
for me to say that our former towns
man, S. r. Bledsoe, has been persist
ent in his efforts and desires to over
come the obstacles thus created in or
der to clear the land titles of this
country. His reputation as a lawyer,
already great, is much augmented by
