The Tomahawk., 1916-09-07

sent TO the Commissioner or IN
dian A fairs:
white Earth, Minnesota,
August %, 1916.
Hon. Commissioner
of Indian Affairs,
Washington, d. g.
Sir:
The undersigned members of
the White Earth Reservation in
Minnesota, are informed that from
the funds appropriated by the In
dian Appropriation Act of May
IS, 1916, for the purpose of furn-
ishlng employment to the Chippe-
was in building roads and max
ing other improvements upon
Chippewa reservations in Mime
sofa for the benefit of the said
Chippewas," six thousand dollars
have been assigned to the coded
Fond do Lac reservation.
The ceded Fond du Lac reser-
walton ceased to be a reservation
under the Act of January IA, 1889,
entitled AN Act for the relief
and civilization Of the Chippewa
Indians in the State of Minnesota,
and to now build any roads there,
or make any other improvements,
would be contrary to the provis-
ions of the appropriation act re-
ferred to.
1t is also inconsistent to eXpend
six thousand out Of ten thousand
dollars upon a reservation where
less than. five hundred of six or
seven hundred members thereof
are living, and to assign to the
White Earth reservation only one
thousand dollars from ten thousand
dollars, and where more than six
thousand Chippewas reside, or
more than half Of all the Chippe.
was ii Minnesota.
Six thousand dollars at least
should be assigned to improving

" dear Mr.. Steenerson:
Very truly yours,
II. Stevenson.

SMy dear Mr.. STEVENSON:
/ have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter OF Au
gust IA, 1916, including a com
snunication from Edward Perrault
relative to the appointment OF his
father, j. E Perrault, to clerk
ship at the White Earth Agency
or elsewhere.
Practically all CLERICAL positions
in this Service require stenograph-
ers and typewriters and as 1t APP
nears that Mr.. Perrault is not
A-e1alified along these lines, no act
ion can be taken in his behalf.
His son has been advised accord
ino]v. a copy of Office letter to
him being enclosed herewith in
compliance with your request.
Very truly yours,
E. B. Merritt,
Asst. Commissioner.
Hon. Halvor staeDerson,
House of Representatives,.
+ August l6, 1876.
Mr.. Edward Perrault,
White Earth, Minnesota.
Sir:
Hon. Halvor Stevenson has re-
,ferred to this Office your letter
The Tomahawk., 1916-09-07

among the Chippewas of Mime
sofa were being borne by the Uni
ted States it might very properly
be called the government SER
vice., but this is not the case. for
the Chippewas of Minnesota bear
all the expenses of the service
among them, and it is therefore
most appropriate to designate it
as the Chippewa Service.
In order to compel the Indian
office and superintendent of the
Chippewa Indian service to give
preference to the people who are
paying the expenses, Congress
should he appealed to next winter
to provide for penalty where an
official ignores the law, for it is
evident that only in this way can
the Chippewas hope to have the
law enforced.
1t is an absurd excuse that Act
ing Commissioner Merritt has
made that clerk must be a steno-
grapher or typewriter in order to
be a clerk in the Chippewa Indian
service, for there are at least three
clerks who are now in the super
| jntendent's office here who are not
stenographers and typewriters.
A recent appointee of Supt.
Hinton, Miss Fletcher, is not a
stenographer, at least she is not so
employed in the Office, neither is
the issue clerk, Mr.. Dummert, a
stenographer and typewriter, nor
is he doing this kind of work in
the office here.
Among the Chippewa young
men of this village there are sew
eral stenographers, but none OF
them seem to be able to secure
employment from the Office.
The law Of last May should be
invoked through some attorney to
compel it's observance.
In communication from Wash
| ington TIE TOMAHAwK's CORES
pondent says in substance this: L
have carefully examined the pro-
vision contained in the Indian APP
preparation Act relating to the
employment of Chippewas in fill
ing all permanent positions in the
Chippewa Indian Service where
the position is being paid from
tribal funds, and would advise
that the Department ruling, viz:
that an appointment can only be
made where there is an actual
vacancy not filled by transfer, and
| where it is necessary to make a
new appointment, is not IN accord.
ance with the statute.
The law clearly provides for the
appointment of Chippewa Indians
to all the positions which the In
dams can fill; particularly is this
true with reference to any posi-
ton paid out of the S185, 900 APP
propriated for the Chippewas
from their funds.
1t may require law suit to
| cause the officials of the Depart
ments to fulfill the law, although
the construction of the statute by
the Department officers is wrong,
and deprives the Chippewa Indians
of the very rights and privileges
which the law intended to confer
upon them.
The Tomahawk., 1916-09-07

dated August II, 1916, relative to
the appointment of your father,
j. E. Perrault, to a clerical posi-
ton at the White Earth Agency
or elsewhere.
You are advised that practically
all clerkships in the Service re-
quire competent stenographers and
typewriters, and as it appears that
your father is not qualified along
these lines, 10 action can be taken
toward giving him an appoint
ment. (Signed)
E. 3. Merritt,
Asst. Commissioner.
When approached by William
Ledeboer and Joseph E. Perrault,
Supt. Hinton admitted the exist
ance of laws giving preference to
Indians as employees in the Indian
service, but in substance told them
these laws we're to be ignored.
The United States Statutes con-
tain the following laws in relation
to giving Indians the preference
as employees in the Indian SER
vice:
Sec. 2O72 u. S. Revised Statutes.
Where any of the tribe are, in
in the opinion of the Secretary Of
the Interior, competent to direct
the employment of their black
smiths, mechanics, teachers, farm
ers, or other persons engaged for
them, the direction of such per-
sons may be given to the proper
authorities OF the tribe.''

May II, 1882. And preference
shall at all times, as far as practi-
cable, be given to Indians in the
employment of clerical, mechani-
cal, and other help on reservations

August %, 1894. THAT in the
Indian service Indians shall be
employed as herders, teamsters,
and laborers, and where practl-
cable in all other employments in

March 3, 1901. THAT as far as
practicable Indian labor shall be

tary of the Interiors;
But particular attention is called
to the Indian appropriation act of
May IS, 1916, in relation to ap~
preparations from Chippewa tribal
funds which has the following
provision:
THAT not to exceed 100000 of
said amount, AND the one-fourth

wa Indians of Minnesota now to
their credit in the Treasury to be
used for the maintenance of free
schools, shall be used for the COM
pensation IF employees III the In
