thereon, no complaint of such condi-

Chief John Grass, chief justice Of the
Sioux Indians on the reservation
Chief Red Tomahawk, n of the most
honorable and distinguished Indians
on the reservation and A. G. Wells an
Indian sub-agent at C~annonball have
informed the Indian bureau here that
the published reports of d~estitution

entirely false and misleading. AT a
council meeting of the Indians held at
Fort Yates on Dec. s, and called to
consider these reports, a humber OF

FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.

The announcement by the First Ma
tional bank that it has increased its
capital and surplus to 100000 is a
matter Of note to every citizen OF
North Dakota. 1t is one more clinCh-
ing argument to prove the fast grow
ing financial independence of the
northwest. Just how fast his change
is being wrought can best be illustrate
ed by noting that the First National
has doubled its capital and surplus
in eight. years.
The Forum has pointed out before
how important it is to stop the flow
of interest money eastward, and every
legitimate business enterprise which
is helping to keep North Dakota
money in North Dakota" will have the
hearty support and cooperation OF
this paper.
Fargo's banking institutions are al
the forefront in this movement. The
men back of the First National. and
the men back of all F'argo's banks,
have a bigger vision than the mere
success of their w institutions
They see that the success of their
banks is wrapped up in the success of
the city Of Fargo and the state of
North Dakota, and they are forming a
financial bulwark which is building up
in Fargo and throughout the state a
business community that is working
tremendously together on a sound and
solid basis.

DETERMINING THE CAUSE.

The United States department of ag-
flculture ha drawn certain conclu-
sions from the record for 1913, which
show that "the most successful wear
in husbandry in the United States
was unaccompanied by reductions in
the cost Of living.
The conclusions referred to are the
more interesting because they come
merely as a ~verification Of what every
body has believed or suspected.
The government authorities find
that "the long line of distributors. and
middlemen between the farmer and
the consumer are in a position to take
advantage of the market and to a Ger.

The report of this council meeting
indicates a very O~utSpoken resent
ment and disapproval by some of the
Indians of alleged political activity Of
Capt. A. &. Walsh of Bismarck among
them and his advocacy of state con-
troll Of the Indians and their property
instead of federal control. Many Of
the most intelligent Indians on the
Standing Rock reservation seem not
to agree with DR.. Beede that the In
dams on this reservation would be
better off than they are now under
federal supervision if they and their
property we're placed under the sole
control n supervision of the state
OF North Dakota, and as might natur-
ally be expected, they do not all agree
with his following economic philoso-
ply relating to Indians as expressed
in his letter to the commissioner of
Indian affairs: "In general a.. man who
does not want to keep his property
is better off without it and it benefits
a community more in other hands,
Mr.. Kneale, supervisor in charge OF
Fort Yates, has officially reported to
the Indian bureau that he has made
a thorough investigation Of these re-
ports and that there is no starvation
on the reservation and that his office
is well prepared n provided to take
care of all cases of real need on the
reservation. It is further reported that
the Indians on the reservation are for
the most part self-supporting and that
they are as quick and ready at all
times to extend charity and assistance
to their fellow Indians in need as are
any elias. Of our citizens.
From the reports recently filed with
the Indian bureau it appears that dur
ing the past few years cattle raising
by the Indians on the reservation has
not been supervised and ENCOURAGED
as it should nave been for the best
interests Of the Indians and that
whereas a few years ago more thar
4 1000 head Of cattle were owned by
the Indians OF this reservation they
Commissioner Sells promises to have
special attention given to livestock
raising and to have placed in charge
of this work a competent. active. up-
to-date livestock supervisor who will
properly encourage n direct the
raising of more cattle On the reser-
walton by the Indians.
Mr.. Kneale, the supervisor now in
charge. is unquestionably a good man
in the right place and I am confident
he has the best interest of the Indians
on the reservation at heart. Letters
from Indians on the reservation ex-
press the highest confidence in his
directions and supervision.

our state and its resources are bound
to suffer from the circulation of the

TUESDAY, JAN. 10, 1914.
ARE INDIANS DESTITUTE?

In this issue The Forum publishes
p q communication from Cong. T.. D.
Norton or the third North Dakota
congressional district, in which Mr..
Norton refutes statements that have
been made by Rev. A. Meg. Beede re-
garding alleged starvation and desti-
tuition among the Standing Rock In
dians, both in this state and in South
Dakota.
AS The Forum has given publicity
10 these statements Of DR.. Beede' it is
glad to give publicity to Mr.. Norton's
statement. But it does not believe
that this settles the matter. Mr..
Becde has made grave charges. They
should nave more searching and thor
1ugh investigation than that on which
Mr.. Norton bases his REPUTATION
claims.
Mr.. Norton hints at political reas-
OnS back of these charges. If there
are such they are absolutely unknown
to The Forum, and few people who
know DR.. Bccdo will believe that he
would allow himself to be used as a
political tool.
Some weeks ago Rev. Mr.. Beede was
in Fargo. He delivered a lecture be-
fore a Fargo audience at the Grand
theatre in which he made practically
the same charges that he afterward
made over his signature and which
were published in The Forum. After
his lecture, and solely because Of the
statements that Rev. Mr.. Bcedc made
publicly and privately in Fargo, The
Forum urged him to put his facts into
condensed form, and offered him the
columns Of The Forum to make them
public. This was done.
AS the matter now stand two sets
of statements have been made. Rev.
Mr.. Beede and others charge there is
restitution on the reservation. Ger
tain Indians on the reservation who
are admittedly friendly to the indian
agents, refute these charges. One set
of statements must be untrue.
Rev. Mr.. Becdo has outlined a way
in which this matter can be settled
beyond question. He has asked that
he be allowed to take unbiased citi-
zens Of North Dakota, in company
with the Indian agents, onto the res
ervation and see exactly what the con-
ditions are. This is only a fair test
of the matter and should be COM
piled with immediately.

on reaping the lions share Of the prof
it's Of the farms, unless a system for
bringing the producer and the con
sumner together can he devised. A
stricter government regulation Of the
cold storage might aid In this direc-
ton, suggests The ST. Louis Times;
the discovery that the middlemen
constitute a trust of the most avari-
cious and effective type might help
further. Finally, a wider recognition
Of the possibilities Of the parcel post
ought to exert a notable influence.
At any rate, now that the economic
law in the case has been a~uthorita-
lively enunciated, there is hope that
remedies for a generally prevalent evil
may be discovered.

A CHEERING IRE

So many alarmist predictions have
been put forth since the abnormally
high price Of meat began to worry
consumers that 1t is cheering to note
the following paragraph in the report
on business conditions issued by the
chamber Of commerce Of the United
States:
The great increase in the popu-
lation Of this country, and conse-
quently the increased demand for
meat as food, coming at the same
time as the decrease in recent
years in the number of cattle and
sheep, naturally has brought about
the present high price Of meat.
Consequently, there has come a
widespread apprehension of the
ultimate trend Of this tendency.
A careful study Of the facts, how
ever, has indicated that it is one
is likely to solve itself and that
the number Of cattle in their re-
latiOn to the number of inhabit-
ants moves rather in a series of
cycles than in q straight line. For
Instance the number of cattle per
100 Of population is the same now
as 1t was in 1870 and 1900, but we
dlc eN4u6ully facing a great
change in the cattle raising in
dustry. An impartial survey,
therefore, OF the situation seems
to warrant the statement thai
while the price Of cattle probably
will continue high, the various
agencies mentioned will gradually
work for more abundant supply
II a more reasonable price.
To this it nay be added that a very
considerable percentage of the pre-
vaiIing high price Of meats is due to
conditions incidental to retailing,
When these conditions are fully un-
derstood they will be modified to the
relief Of all classes of consumers ex-
cept the class that doesn't care and Is
more concerned in regard to getting
what 1t wants NJ getting it with the
least Inconvenience than in regard to
keeping down expenses.
