NEz PIERCE INDIANS
MAY GOVERN SELVES
INVESTIGATION SHOWS MORE
THAN so PER CENT CAPABLE
OF DOING BUSINESS

Fully so per cent Of the Nez Perez
Indians on the reservation near Oro-
fino and Ahsahka are capable of man
aging their own affairs, according to
the report of special commission
which spent the first two days of this
week Investigating conditions on the
reservation and interviewing Indians
who are wards of the government.
! The commission which conducted the
investigation was composed OF j. H.
Rogers, the local agent for the Nez
Perez Indians; D. E. Smith of the de-
partment of the interior; and Charles
E. Coe, of the Indian field service.
While no official statement has
been made, it has been learned "un-
officially that the board will recon-
mend that about half, probably so per
cent, Of the Indians be released from
government control and permitted to
manage their own affairs after next
summer, when the rs year period pro-
vided by the treaty; in which they are
to be cared for and treated as wards
of the government will expire.
Hearings have been held at Lapwal,
Kooskia, Kamiah and Ahsahka- The
hearing brought out testimony show
ing that the older members of the
tribe have become sufficiently ac-
customed to the ways of the white
man and educated in business deals to
make it safe to throw them upon their
own responsibility. This means that
they will practically become citizens
instead of wards and their property
will be liable to taxation in 1921 and
they can sell their lands, giving deeds
that will be legal, and can transact
business as any other citizen OF the
United States.
The treaty with the Nez Perez In
dians, under the 25-year agreement,
allotted land to individuals, upon
which they were expected to make
living with the assistance and guild I
ance of the Indian agent. They could
not sell their lands nor were the lands
subject to taxation The members OF
the tribe received no allotment In
money fro mthe government. There
is quite large area of timber land |
held in common by the tribe, which /
will probably be sold and the money
allotted to the members IN severalty:
The 25-year period began in 1880
when the lands were allotted, and ex-
pires in 1920 All of the Indians VINO
are found capable of managing their
own affairs will be given that priv1-
lege which gives them all the rights
of an American citizen and releases
them from the control of the Indian
agent and the interior department.

AS a rule the Indians are anxious

AS rule the Indians are anxious
to have this change made and to be-
come real citizens. 1t is believed they
will have more ambition when thus
thrown on their own resources and
will develop greater individuality. 1t
will also mean much to the four coun-
ties in which the reservation is To-
Gated, Idaho, Nez Perez, Lewis. and
Clearwater, as it will throw several
thousand acres Of rich land open to
taxation, which has never before been
taxed. DIR. Jacob Breid is Indian
agent and is stationed at Lapwai.
The examination was thorough
one. Each Indian was seen individu-
ally and given a personal examination
and an opportunity to show that he
or she is capable of managing his or
her own business. All seemed anx-
ious to prove this ability but many
members of the tribe failed to salts
fly the commissioners. The middle
aged Indians made far the best show
ing, many of them having attended
schools and received fair Quotations.
The old members of the tribe who
were too old to attend school when
their affairs were taken over by the
government, and the young Indians,
who have not completed their educa
ton, were not so fortunate. 1t is be-
lieved that from so to go per cent of
the Indians will be released from
federal supervision and an extended
agreement, probably covering 10
years, will be entered into with the
other members Of the tribe. This will
give the younger Indians chance to
secure an education and business I
training, but it is not believed the old
members of the tribe, those who
fought the whites in the Indian wars
and were real savages when the
northwest was settled, will ever be
able to transact business and they !
will probably remain wards of the
government as long as they live.

1.-THE opponents OF the league of ma
tions it seems were very wise when
they demanded that the proposed
league of nations compact be scruti-
nized closely SO that it should be re-
vealed just what it means. They pre-
dicted that this question of immigra
ton from the Asiatic nations would
arise. The supporters of the league
constitution. however, insisted that
the immigration laws Of the United
States were purely a domestic matter
and would not come within tho scope oi
the league of nations. 1t seems that
the supporters of the league wero en-
tirely wrong in their estimate Of the
situation, as shown by tho Japanese
ambassador.
"should the league be formed with
out Japan and China, Russia and
Germany, there would be merely an
other great division Of the powers OF
the world with war threatening"
Senator Jones said that he did not
believe the people in his part OF the
country, tho Pacific coast states. would
stand for a league of nations compact
which would do away with the re-
strictive immigration laws.

So far AS American labor la con-
cerped, Senator Jones said, 1t had been
reported that as body 1t stood for

was made clear he did not bellows
that It would look with approval on

made by many sanator9 that the league
of nations should not bA entered by the
United States without very clear un-
derstanding OF what the compact real
ly means and what the United States
win have to agree to-" said Senator
Jones'
the chairman of the democratic national
committee, would have been so quick
with his statement declaring that the
