Some objection has been raised to
this plan en- the ground that 1t does
not give to the Indian that freedom
enjoyed by his white brother, but
this argument is not well taken. The
white brother has his forest reserve,
with this diTereuce-he has nothing
to say about its administration. The
government autocrats at Washington
dictate that. Under the proposed
plan, Washington is out Of the reser-
yaticn completely. No measure
should be considered for an instant
that would give to Washington one
iota OF a say in the affairs OF the
reservation. Every provision TO pro-
.tect the Indian against these pocket
pickers should be taken just as care
fully as they should be protected
against any other unscrupulous white
man. Let us unite to stop II now.

through a well designed board OF

THE OPENING OF THE RESER-

We are glad that Mr.. Baker

posed the proposed bill offered by
Mr.. Ashurst 1t has done the very
thing that should be done to accom-
plish the best results-it has brought
about a public discussion Of it's pro-
visions and centered upon it the
minds of the people in this section
who are most deeply interested in
the object of the measure-the
opening Of the reservation. No one
can honestly dispute Mr.. Bakers
earnest desire to work for the best
interests of the community, no mat
ter how vigorously they may differ
with his proposals. Neither can Mr..
Ashurst's position be unreservediy
supported, even though it has the
backing of the Indians themselves.
Both men have gone too far in their
own directions, forgetting that there
is middle ground upon which they
must stand if they are going to meet
with success and at the same time
protect the rights and interests Of
the Indians and the people of Klam-
ath county.
One thing is certain-the reserva-
tion must not be thrown open unre-
Servedly. leaving the Indians-the
Acompetent ones-to be the victims

governor of the state, one by the In

reservation and the actions of the
Indian council. II could make in
