CONGRESS MAY FR0WN
ON POOR LOS LOANS
Predicted Tribal Subscriptions
Must Be Reduced or
Cancelled.
From The Worlds Bureau,
70i Metropolitan Bank Building.

WASHINGTON, June 14-Opposl-
tion in the house is anticipated to the
bill proposing to authorize the secre-
tary of the interior to invest the funds
of tribes and individual Indians in
Liberty bonds and it is predicted that
Secretary Lane win have to reduce his
subscription of $lO.OOO,00O already
made on behalf of the American In
dian.
The secretary has a ruling of an
individual Indian held by the govern
ment without further authority, but
members of the oklahoma delegation
claim that the funds of the tribes can
not be inv ested without expressed au-
thority from congress.
If the bill comes before the house,
Representative Hastings will insist
that the funds of the five civilized
tribes be eliminated, which would re-
duce the secretarys subscription sew
eral million dollars. Representative
Hastings says that to invest the tribal
money in longtime securities would
mean an indefinite delay i'm winding
up the afitirs of the tribes. He calls
attention to the effort oklahoma has
been making for several years "a
terminate the tribes and pay the com
munity money to members per capita.
The bill Will be opposed by Repre-
sentative Morgan for the reason that
3Ia per cent is not sufficient interest
for Indian money and that if it is To
be invested the department should
purchase farm loan bonds bearing
4 !, per cent, which he claims are bet
ter than Liberty bonds from the in
vestment standpoint. Mr., Morgan
claims the administration looked with
disfavor upon his proposal to invest
the money of oklahoma Indians In
Oklahoma farm land securities, as II
was claimed to be against the policy
of handling trust funds. 1t is his
position that Indians are citizens OF
the state and that their money should
