FAvORS CITIZENSHIP
SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATOR HAS
BILL FOR THOSE WHO
SERVED IN ARMY.

pierre.-All the full blood Indians
who went into the war and fought
and suffered with their white brothers,
will be accorded the full rights OF
citizenship. if the resolution proposed
by Representative Perry, of Bennett,
passes the legislature and has any
effect on congress-. Perry is repre-
senting the county OF the state which
probably has the largest Indian popu.
lation of any county that has been or.
ganized. and with many of the pro.
gressive citizens of his district secur-
ing citizenship rights under the gov.
eminent policy of granting them as
rapidly as the Indian shows a capacity
to take care OF himself and his affairs,
Mr.. Perry feels that the boys of the
country are far enough advanced
when they come back from the war
that they can appreciate and handle
the responsibilities and privileges of
citizenship.
