The Nelson Jurisdiction
al Bill,

1t is surprising that bill so
broad as the one recently intro
duced III Congress by Senator
Nelson, and which was recently
published in The ToMAnAwK, was
passed without any opposition be-
fore the senate Indian committee.
Senator Nelson and Congress no
doubt recognized the claims of the
Chippewas upon the United States
to be just and allowed them to 60
through with very slight, if any,
amendments.
But the varied interests of the
Chippewas of Minnesota prior to
1889, and even slice then makes

own protection and the protection
of the Indian interests, should
learn whether the frauds charged
in the issue book Of this reserva-
ton should be placed against Ex-
Supt. Howard, or against the
present issue clerk.
There should be no lack Of effort
to induce Congress to make full
investigation of the issues and
other frauds which have been
practiced upon the reservation
people in general.
1t is not surprising, in view of
the frauds that it has been charged
repeatedly were committed by
Elk Supt. Howard, that he was
able to purchase recently, as has
been stated, an expensive tract of
land and for which he paid $l6,-
900, for when he was appointed as
agent here he mad been acting as
one of the State Fair grounds
guards during the fair at $500
per day.

The Germans made several err
rors at the beginning of the war
by sinking ships that contained
women and children, but on the
whole it's friendship towards the
United States can be trusted more
than that of England.
England seems to have a little
now over Germany in
the war on account of the assist
ance it has, and it is beginning to
show it's teeth to America. What
would England do in the event of
war between the United States and

indians To Get A Large
Sum.

Washington, D. GIN COM
pliapce with the provisions of the
Indian appropriation bill the In
dian bureau is preparing to dis
tribute about 81, 100000 among
the Chippewa Indians of Mlnneso-
ia.
1.-THE bill authorizes the secre-
tary of the Interior to pay to the
Minnesota Chippewas not more
than one fourth of the amount to
their credit in the United States
treasury on appropriate basis"
said Assistant Commissioner Mer-
rit. 1.-The money will be distril'-
u,ed in the form of per capita
payments. Instructions have been
given to prepare the roll of all the
Indians entitled to share of the
fund now in the treasury, and
when this roll is complete pay
ment will be made, probably in
the fall.
The Indians who are reported
competent will receive their share
direct. These who are found to
be incompetent to manage their
financial affairs will have their
share deposited in local banks to
be disbursed by proper officials
for their benefit. y
There are approximately II 900
members of the Chippewa tribe in
Minnesota who will be entitled to
a share of the tribal fund. Mr..
Merritt estimated they each would
receive about $50.
The Tomahawk., 1916-08-10

the bill uinpracticable as it is, and
when they fully understand 1t
some of the bands will object to
it, especially the Red Lake band
which still has separate interests
from the other Chippewas of Mil
nesota.
AS the bill passed by the senate
now is, the compensation for the
Red Lake forestry reservation Will
be placed in the Treasury of the
United States to the credit of all
the Chippewa Indians of Mime
sofa.
The Pillagers Cbippewas also
have a claim for over one million
acres of land for which they have
retained Rogers & Wallace to
prosecute, and, according to the
bill, whatever is recovered FOR
them will have to be placed in the
consolidated Chippewa fund.
The Red Lake and Pembina
bands have other large claims
which accrued prior to 1889 when
the consolidation of Chippewa in
terests took place, and they will
no doubt object TO the present
provisions of the Nelson jurisdic-
tioral bill.
The Nelson jurisdictional bill
will no doubt be further amended
when it is passed by the house of
representatives, and steps should
be taken to correct the errors
which exist in it that would be
impracticable to the interests of
the several bands of Indians inter-
ested.
One Of the important points of
the bill is that the Chippewas will
have to select their attorneys after
the bill passes and shall be en-
ployed under contract to be APP
proved by the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs and the Secretary
of the Interior.

The Red Lake forestry bill ha

The Red Lake forestry bill has
a savings clause in it which pro-
videsSthat it cannot be put into
operation until the probable costs
have first been submitted to Con-
gress for its approval, at least this
is the construction placed upon it
by some laymen. The Red Lake
bill was the worst piece of legisla-
ton ever passed against the Red
Lake Chippewa interests, but Sen
&tor Nelson is evidently trying TO
remedy the evil he caused to be
done by the latitude of his juris-
dictional act on behalf IF the
Chippewas.

Justice Hughes speech of &C
ceptance as the Republican candi
date for the presidency must be a
keen disappointment to many of
his followers, for it lacked the
dignity which is expected of a
Imam who seeks such high office
as president. Mr.. Hughes con-
fined himself to attacking Presi-
dent Wilson's Mexican policies al
most exclusively. 1t is not what
Wilson has done that the indcpend-
cut voters wish to know from MIR.
Hughes, for they know this al
ready from their information
gathered from the same source as
HE got his, but what they wish to
know is what he will do regarding
the issues he discussed, if elected
president.
The Tomahawk., 1916-08-10

Every member of the tribe IS
looking for the big payment which
will take place here during this
year, but we predict that there
will be some disappointment
among some of those who have in
the past not convinced the govern
ment that they can use the funds
they receive as a gift to good adj
vantage. No doubt the officials
of the Indian office will watch
closely to learh to what use annui-
tants are placing or expanding the
>funds they will receive, SO that in
the future it will be able to better
Judge who are the competents and
non competents.

Should Examine Issue
Books.

During the Howard admiDistra-
ton it was learned beyond the
question of doubt 10 the mind of
HE ToMAHAwK that the most
overt acts of fraud were commit
ted charging to the members of
the tribe issues that had never
been made to them. Every effort
should now be made to have full
and complete investigation made
of this.
In 1913 the late Chief Supervis-
or Holcombe issued an order to
Elk Supt. Howard to furnish every
Mile Lac removal Chippewa with
a copy of the issues that were
made to him, but the superintend-
ent failed to do this except in one
instance so far as could be learned,
and this was regarding the issues
that had been charged to Wah-we-
yea-cumig which the latter pro-
nounced to be absolutely incorrect
and fraudulent.
From his examination of the
issues, usually made, the publish
er of The ToMAHAwK, from his
personal knowledge of the circum-
stances, stands ready to sustain
the charge of fraud which has re-
peatedly been made by the paper
and others.
If the administration at WASH
ington, or Supt. Hinton himself
has the authority, full investiga-
ton of the issues should be made
now which have been charged to
Indians during the past five or six
years. ...s..,4-

necessary than in the higher posi-
tions of the government service.
Federal administration cannot
change any quicker than the sub
ordinates of the departments, for
whenever democrat becomes
president hundreds of employees
Immediately spring up as loyal,
tt ue democrats, and on account of
their experience in the manipula-
ton of political spoils and their
claim to being under civil service
law, are able to secure the leading
positions in the service, and they
see to it that no other changes are
made in the service.
Once in while those holding
high positions in the service, such
as Assistant Post Master General
Roper, under the Wilson admins
tration. and Frank Hitchcock, ex-
assistant post master general dur
ing the Taft administration, have
stepped beyond the bounds of
propriety in political matters.
The Minneapolis journal of re-
cent date states that Mr.. Hitch
cock went as far as to compel
President Taft to promise to put
him into his cabinet if re elected.
But the cases of Mr.. Roper and
Mr.. Hitchcock are exceptions in
very high positions, but there are
seldom, if ever, any exceptions in
thu more subordinate positions in
the government service, and one
thing remains unchanged, and this
is that employees continue to do
as effective political work for their
respective parties as the most act
i've politicians, and they rely upon
each other in the event of changes
of administrations to prevent any
change in their positions on &C
count of their political activities.
The ToMAHAwK's force has
frequently heard expressions of
sympathy among government en-
pIoyees in favor of one party or
another, and these have been made
in such a manner as would incuce
persons who are themselves seek
ing favors to vote as those who
are in the service have expressed
themselves.
After all the old 50 called ''spoils
system'' would be preferable to
the more dishonorable one of play
ing ''good God and good devil"

THE ToMAHAwK aims to give
every Chippewa an opportunity to

Men And Not Parties
Should Appeal To In
dian Voters.

For several years the Chippe-
wa voters have been voting first
for one party and then another.
From this state their best friends
have been republicans, and the
advice Of these should always be
followed, for these friends have
been tested and not found want
ing.
But we do not wish to be un-
derstood as advocating the cause
of President Wilson by saying
that when an appeal was made
direct to him, he made some i'm
portant changes in the service
among the Chippewas of Mime
sofa. But his good work has
been Offset by the departments
under him, for it has simply been
a fight from the start of the demo-
cratic administration to the pres
ent time to try and have justice
dcne. The Indian office at Wash
ington, it has stated, wished to
have justice done to the Chippe-
was of Minnesota, and IN this the
heads of the office have apparently
been sincere, but department let
tiers, usually prepared by subor-
dinates, who cannot overcome
their prejudices in favor of red
tape, send letters here the reverse
of what is fair.
For his efforts to have justice
done to the Chippewas President
Wilson should at least have the
good wishes of the Chippewas,
but if the most insignificant clerks
in the departments and the field
service are able to set aside his
good intentions it is useless to re-
ly further upon his administration
to fulfill the existing laws in favor
of Indians.
President Wilson's administra-
ton has ample time to fulfill its
duties towards the Indians, but if
it fails to commence doing this
within the next three or four
months, or to fulfill the promises
made by the Democratic National
Committee four years ago TO In
dian voters throughout the coun
try, it could not be relied upon
during the next four years to full
fill these promises.
In South Dakota the Sioux have
a sincere friend in Senator John.
son, a democrat whom they had
much to dc in electing, and in
Wisconsin the Indians in that
state have firm friend in Senator
Husting, also a democrat and who
is mixed blood Indian. These
two senators will no doubt have
much influence towards urging
the Indians to stand by the Will
son candidacy.
The Indian voters of each state
therefore have varied influences
to cause them to vote either for
one party or the other. In this
state, which is so strongly repub-
lican, Indian votes will probably
not cut any figure even though
cast sol,dly for one party, but
they should at least express their
sentiments regarding their treat,
mcnt frcm the federal admins
tration by the manner in which
they shall vote.

We need men in this battery. real men.

Capt. Wilson admitted yesterday that
a sergeant and two enlisted men under
arms went into the city Saturday, ar
rested and brought out to camp eight
men of the artillery who had refused to
respond to the call to arms, but he re-
fused to state their names.
