Congressman Riddick's Infamous Bill
If Enacted, Would Perpetuate Pow
er of Reservation Grafters and
Close Gates of Opportunity Against
Soldiers.

The Billings Star: We shall not
impugn the motives of Congressman
Riddick but we wonder how he was
hoodooed into recommending to Con-
gress the passing of bill which
reads, when carefully analyzed, as
though it had been prepared to pro-
tect the interests of the grafters in
whose grip the Crow Reservation has
been held for years. Is there any in
telligent man in Billings who does
not know that few powerful inter-
ests have reaped fortunes in the Grow
Reservation Who does not know
that these powerful interests have
laid schemes for the punishment OF
those high-minded and courageous
citizens who have dared to encounter
the men who would, if they could,
make the Reservation their personal
property and exclude forever from
this territory the homesteader?
We insist that the Reservation
should be thrown open for settlement
to our soldiers but the Riddick bill
will place the Reservation in the re-
Imorseless grip of a few powerful In
terests. The Reservation should be
Immediately divided into tracts OF
equal value, and thrown open to oul
soldiers for settlement. The smalles,
tract, consisting of the best irrigat'
led land, should contain not less thar
1eighty acres. The largest tracts
should contain perhaps whole sec
ton Or more Other tracts shoals
contain q hundred and sixty acres y
fpossibly three hundred and twent!
or four hundred and eighty, the pur
pose being to make all tracts as near
lily as possible Of equal value. 1t vii
thus furnish homes for three OF fou
thousand soldiers. In doing this, tn
rights of Indians may, and should b
preserved. We urge the soldiers Q

and as they think, more efficient, at

Accordingly, the boy, giving up
his last precious hours of freedom,

through the great works by the sup

covers $50 acres and employs thous-
ands of men.
Jim's adventure proves revela-

Homes for Ambassadors.

G7HE diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill now before congress car
res an appropriation Of S3,0O0,0OO
which is intended as a starter in erecting
official homes for ambassadors and minis
tiers of the United States in foreign coun-
tries. The policy expressed i'll the bill con
templates the building Of 100000 embass
les in capitals Of more than 100000 popu-
lation and $250,O00 embassies in the small
Ell capitals.
Either sum may seem large to a public
never accustomed to anything Of this sort.
Neither is excessive when compared with
the sums spent by other nations for such
purposes. The United States has been up
to this time, the only first-class power in
the world that did not provide its foreign
representatives with appropriate homes
and offices. We have not even paid the
rent and maintenance OF the quarters they
occupied in the transaction Of our busl-
ness.
Many Americans thought Uncle Sam
was liberal when he raised his ambassa-
doris salaries to ST., 800 year and minis
tiers salaries to smaller figures, proper
tionately, quite ignoring the fact that these
representatives We're obliged out Of thar
salary to rent and furnish an embassy and
pay the expense Of entertainment, which
is always high. No ambassador or minister,
under the old system, could live on his sal
airy without being considered a miser and
shaming himself and the country he rep
resents.
1T is high time to change this humiliat-
ing situation, and bring the visible repre-
sentation of the United States in foreign
capitals to the dignity and respect It de-
serves.
