Special Correspondence by C. H.
Tavenner.
Washington, May 2O.-It has been
thoroughly demonstrated, during the
present session of congress. that the
Indian wards of the United State gov
Tnment have been getting anything
but a square deal" On the other
hand, it has been shown by compe-
tent witnesses that these Indians
have received and are still receiving
the rawest kind of a raw deal from
the government which is supposed to
have their interest and welfare at
heart.
Martin j. Bentley, farmer from
Oklahoma, told TIE Senate committee
On Indian affairs .acently that Of an
appropriation of $4,000 for the sup
port of seventy KiekapOO Indians, $45
went for supplies, and 1887 for sal
aries to officials and clerks who pur-
chased and distributed the supplies.
In 1911 Congress appropriated $780,
900 for the support Of the Cheyennes
and Arapahoes of Oklahoma. Of this
sum $29,361.1O went for salaries to
employees of the Indian department;
$S,635.3O went for the support, tnay-
cling expenses, etc., of these employ
ees, and only $9O5.22 went to the In
dams, in the way of subsistence, and
$1OS.4O for furniture and household
goods, thus giving the Indians ST.
06262 out of a total appropriation OF
$4,000.
A perusal of the report Of the hear
ings before the House Committee on
Indian Affairs, which comprises the
testimony OF the Commissioner of In
dian affairs, given as a basis for leg
islation for the Indians, shows dozens
Of instances Of this kind. The fig
ures given by this official reveal the
startling fact that Of all the money
appropriated for the cane of Indians,
about 80 per cent goes to officials
Of the Indian office for salaries, trav-
cling expenses, etc., and that only
about ten per cent goes to the In
dams. :" g.. -, ..
The Federal records show that for
years past Congress has been asked
to appropriate for the maintenance Of
l17,247 Indians, and motley has been
paid out for the support of that mum.
Der, The Federal census for 1907 dis
closes that there are only 1902 In
dams in the state of Oklahoma, thus
revealing that Congress has been
contributing money annually for the
support of $4,000 Indians who do not
exist.
1t has been shown that while the
government pays out more than a
million dollars annually for salaries
to employees and officials of the In
dian department, the condition of the
indians in Oklahoma has gradually
grown more desperate until today
they are in state of poverty close
" bordering on restitution.
AS a result of these disclosures
Senator Owen has introduced a bill
In the Senate for the adjustment Of
the Indian office. Commissioner Val
entine, of the Indian office, admits
that the best thing that could be done
for the Indians would be to abolish
the Indian office.
The administration of the Indian
trusteeShip is one of the darkest blots
on the Republican administrations of
the last sixteen years.
What We Find Out.
When thieves fall out, just men get
their dues, and when republican pres
idents and former presidents fall out
the people learn how they have been
misgoverned.

COULD NOT GET RID OF
UNFORTUNATE VISITOR

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy Beck
man Winthrop has for a long time
been bothered by the constant in
flux OF congressman and others
desiring interviews regarding the
advancement of their constituents.
About two-thirds of Winthrop's time
being taken up in comforting with
these privilege and patronage seek
ers, he determined to perfect some
method of hurrying them out of
his office.
Accordingly, he ordered that his
office windows be opened one zero
day, just before the longest-winded
congressman was announced When
the representative entered he found
the assistant secretary draped in
front Of large log fire while the
only other vacant chair was several
feet away. The temperature stead
lily fell, and the congressman shiv-
cred. Winthrop mentally decided
that his visitor would leave in a
moment and was just tickled to
death to think of his own sa-
gacity.
Great was his chagrin, therefore,
when the representative chattering-
ly said: IF you have no objection,
Mr. Winthrop, I'll send for my fur
overcoat. It's little chilly in
here" Then he stayed forty min
utes longer.

CHITINA Line A PROBABILITY

In answer to letter sent by
Secretary E. H Mack, of the Fair
banks Commercial club to Major
d. J. Carr, in charge of the signal
corps in Alaska, the following re-
ply was received. From it it may
be judged that there is a fair chance
of telegraph station being in
stalled at Chitina and the installa-
ton Of wire from Willow creek to
that point. The reply from Major
Carr was as follows:
Seattle, Wash. February "a, 1912.
Secretary, Fairbanks Commercial
club, Fairbanks, Alaska.
Sir: In answer to your letter of
January 81, 1912, on the subject of
telegraph office at Chitina, Alaska,
have the honor to state that this
matter has already been taken up
and is still under consideration.
AT the present time this office
is not in a position to state when
the line will be- constructed or
whether its construction will be
authorized. The advisability Of OPP
ening an office at Chitina has not been
fully determined by the chief sig
nal officer of the army and | am
therefore unable to give you any
further information on this subject
at this time. | will advise you as
to developments.
Very respectfully,
