FOR INDIAN RETIREMENT.

A bill to work out the problem of a
better enforcement of police regula-
tons on Indian reservations has been
introduced by Representative French
OF Idaho at the request OF the office of
Indian affairs. The provisions con-
tanned in this. bill We're inserted in one
of the appropriation bills but went out
on a point of order. 1t is proposed by
this measure to give the federal gov
eminent concurrent power with the
states in enforcing the law, the pur-
pose being a better preservation OF the
morale of the Indian wards of the gov
eminent. The present system which
imposes an almost impossible task on
the state authorities is said to result
in great laxity in law enforcement and
also in the conduct of the Indians
The gambling laws are violated with
impunity and the marriage code is ig-
nored to the extent that the divorce
law is almost no barrier to remarriage
In some cases Indians are reported to
