penses of agents, inspectors. sup
crintendents of reservations, en-
gineers, assistant engineers, discl-
plinarians, matrons, and persons
in the Government employment

ceived the services as gratuities,
with few exceptions OF small
amounts, but in the case of the

they pay 1t for schools, when they
have absolutely at no time-snd l

Let US see. Ii you will take
pages 408 and 400 of the hearings
you will find the onlyl accounting
there is which will throw any light
on it. Take the column for schools
and agency expenses and you will
find about 100000 tor agencies
and about $4,000 for schools.
And, l say, if you throw a man
into involuntary bankruptcy and
the fefree calls him before him to
make an accounting, and he re-
fused to make statement of his
receipts and disbursements, in
your own accounting as trustee
you would have to take the figures

Mr.. Chairman, l want to 20 right

money taken from the tribal funds

item, goes into the civilizing chan

1889 contemplated, to the Chippe.

. more consistent action to take,
and if it does not 60 into the chan

In our issue of Sept. 18th, 1919,
to took occasion to publish the fact
that honest John H. .Hinton'had,
on Aug. 10th, 1918, started az
illusory propaganda against the
righteous efforts Tof the progEes--a
.sive classes Of the White Earth
reservations, especially the mem
bers of the Legislative Committee,
General Council, Minnesota Chip,
pewas, who we're protesting against
the further appropriation of their
tribal funds; stating in his said
letter that only "a.very few selfish
mixed-bloods' desired such a pro-
ceeding should take place, etc.
On receipt of intelligence Of this
pernicious activity on the part of
honest" John, members of the
reservation generally signed a
petition which contained hundreds
of ,,ames, every person signing his
or her OWE name, including about
80 names of the reservation soldier
boys, vigorously protesting against
the further appropriation of their
tribal funds for the further con-.
tinuance or maintenance of agencies
on the Minnesota so-called reser
vations. This petition received
the hearsy support Of the officials
of both Becker and Mshnomen
counties; municipal officials OF
Detroit city, and members of the
Becker County Bar Association.
1t was also Endorsed oy many of
Minnesota's leading business and
professional men. These indorse-
ments were sent to the members

the same to members Of the Min

Asks That Appropriations,
From Chippewa Tribal.
Funds be Stopped
Remarks of Representative j..
K. Ellsworth, before the House
Committee ON Indian Affairs: !.
Mr.. ELLSWORTH. Mr.. Chair
man, this item now included in the
bill at 100000 is an item which
has been changed in the last four
or FIVE years in nearly every Con-
gress, being in some Congresses
entirely stricken out in the House
and afterwards included in another
body, and coming back, and finally
there being IN amount in the bill.
1t is an item which has been con-
tested since the time the first APP
preparation was made under the
tre.ty of 1889, whereby the Cbip.]
pewa Indians of Minnesota, at that
time some 1900 or $4,000 in
number, coded to the United States
some nine or ten millions of acres
of land, with provision for the,
disposition of land and of the tim-1l
Der upon the land in order to cre-I
ate a fund in trust for the tribe, TO-
be paid out per capita and other
wise under certain specified condi-
lions. l want first to refer to this
proposition, that from 1854 TO
1874, ~ years-and spoke of this
in the House yesterday in general
debate-the tribe of Chippewa In
dams, or the Red Lake Band, used
to 90 to Fon du Lac, at the head
OF Lake Superior, every year To-
receive an annuity Of 81, 4 condis,ll
Etion OF: famine generally existine
before they got that dollar. ~
In 1874 the annuity system WAS
discontinued, and from that time
until 1889, the time that the Gov
eminent again took under. it's wing
this band of Chippewa Indians in
Minnesota, and made the treaty of
1889, under which the Indians
ceded the lands and the Govern
ment agreed to do certain things
and to hold their property in trust
for the Indians until that time,
for Is years, the Indians of Min
nesota, without any promise or
hope of payment to be doled out
by the government, became prac.
tically self supporting, and inter
mingled with the people in the
towns and villages in which they
lived, and went on toe even tenor
of their way. Then the Govern
ment took them up again and made
the treaty. And l want to take
time enough to distinguish between
the different kinds Of Indian Tribes
to show the differences in the con-
| ditions affecting these tribes, whore
they have tribal funds in the treas
ury, and other tribes where there
are no funds in the treasury, and
where the Government pays out a
gratuity. The amount on credit
uow from lands sold, or timber
sold on lands belonging to the
Cbippewas nnder the treaty with
| the United States, is some Sc, 0OO,-
200. The interest, according to the
treaty provision, is 5 per cent.
The treaty Of 1889 provided that
the interest should be paid to . the
Indians, three-fcurths of the sum
IN per capita payments and one
fourth of the sum to be used ex-
clusively for school purposes.
The interest pow is about 3d..
90, 600, or two hundred and ninety
odd thousand dollars. The one
fourth of that is about $4,000,
specifically provided for the use Of
