Stevenson Opposing the
Ellsworth Bill in Order
to Further His Red Lake
Drainage Bill.

The following communication
from Red Lake discloses the fact
that Congressman Stephenson IS
opposing the Ellsworth Bill and
the General Council for the pur-
pose of furthering his proposed
Red Lake Drainage Bill, as is
shown by his statements made IN
the vicinity of Red Lake recently.
The communication from Red
Lake follows:
Red Lake, MIMI,
Oct. Is, 1920.
Mr.. B. l.. Fairbanks,
White Earth, MINI.
Dear Sir:
When Mr.. Stevenson spoke
at Leonard, he was asked by Mr..
Jay E. Smith "a white mani why
he opposed the Ellsworth Bill
which would open and develop this
part of the country, etc. He an
swered that Messrs Beaulieu, FAIR
banks, Morrison and 1000 other
White Earth Indians were ready
to grab allotments on the Red
Lake reservation, in that it would
always be a reservation, but under
his Drainage Bill the whites w99uld
get a chance to get ths lands not
Eequired for the Red Lake allot ):
meats: That the General Council
was composed of robbers and
thieves, and was controlled by the
White Earth Indians, and that he
was going to fight it to finish.
Now, Ben, you can see that he
is soft soaping the whites and In.
dams too in his speeches. You
may treat this letter as you see it,
Yours respectfully,
Jos. A. Morrison.
Judging from the foregoing les-
ter it seems apparent that Con-
gresham Stevenson, made desper'
ate and frantic by the pail of de-
feat which threatens to overWhelm
him in} bis present rage for s-elec:
ton to Congress, assumes most
piteops actions. At the time Mr.
Bteeuefson spoke here on the 18th
inst, he manifested impatience,
reluctance and anger when mem
bers of the audience questioned
his position concerning certain
measures which are now pending
in Congress and sought to evade
meeting the questions honestly anc
squarely and especially as con-
Germs the allotment OF lands to the
Red Lake bands, stating that ne
was very much in ''hurry'' a;
he had other engagements to meet
etc. .'.z ....
The legislation of 1889, 25tt
Stats, 642, provides in substance
that ''All Chippewa Indians in thu
State of Minnesota shall be allot
ted lands on the White Earth res
ervation and the Red Lake indians
would likewise be allotted land!
on the Red Lake reservation, etc
Showing conclusively that no othel
Chippewa Indians could get allot
ments of lard on the Red Lake

reservation outside of the mem
bers of the Red Lake bands. 1t is
distinctly provided however that
all funds derived from the sale OF
timber and surplus lands, includ-
ing the lands on the Red Lake
reservation ''as in the opinion of
the Commissioners is not needed
for filing Allotment; to the Red
Lake Indians" would be divided
or apportloned to ALL of the
Minnesota Chippewa Indians on
the basis of ''share and share
alike.'' Hence it is absurd to sup:
pose that any Indians, other than
members of the Red Lake bands,
would be permitted to grab alIot-
ments of land'' on the Red Lake
reservation in the event that the
Red Lake bands were allotted their
lands in severalty and provided for
in the legislation of 1889 as above
stated and which should have been
done thirty-one years ago, not
withstanding Mr.. Steenerson's
statement to the contrary.
Concerning reference in Mr..
Morrison's letter to the members
of the General Council, the sour
rilous imputation is base, treach-
erous and cowardly: It is we'll
known that the General Council,
organized six years ago. is COM
posed of practically all OF the pro
law-abiding, tax paying
Chippewas and who number 80
per cent of the Minnesota Chip
pewas. The executive body is
composed of a President, Secretary
and Treasurer; Legislative and
Executive Committees. These
officials are elected by representa-
tives WHO are chosen by the local
councils of the several bands in
terested and which convenes an
nually for the transaction of such
affairs which purports to the adj
vancement,, progressively, morally
and otherwise of all Minnesota
Chippewas.
For the past two or three years
The Legislative Committee, COM
posed of the President and for
members of the General Council
have appeared before the House
and Senate Committees on Indian
Affairs and, among other matters,
have endeayoredd to persuade fay f!,
orable action concerning the fqll-
6llment of the legislation Of 1884,
especially as refers to the allot-
ment of lands to the Red Lake
bands. On this particular issue
the Legislative Committee have
received only casual consideration
at the hands of Mr.. Stevenson,
Notwithstanding the fact that
about two thirds of the Minnesota
Chippewas reside in Mr.. STEINER
sons district. On the other hand
the Committee we're rendered most
liberal services by other members
of the Minnesota Congressional
body, notably Congressman Frank
lin K. Ellsworth, ex-Congressm!an
Clarence g 6: Miller and Senator
Frank 3. Kellogg. Mr. Ellsworth
in his munifcent eagerness to as
sist the Legislative Committee to
bring ABOUT tql6llment of the
much abused legislation OF 1889
and to finally ''close Minnesota
Chippewa Indian mattera." intro
duoed the so=called Ellsworth bill,
H. R. 121O3, on January ~, 1920,
and which bill failed to receive
Mr.. Steenerson's support,
Mr.. Steenerson's anlmoslty which
be- seems to manifestly cherish
against the members of the Legis-
latiye Committee of the General
Council and the members OF the
progressive Chippewas generally
is occasioped no doubt by the fact
that practically all the Chippewas

word concerning such projects as
proposed by Congressman Steener-
sons pet measures they, the In
dams, are not, in just or legal
sense, liable to furnish one penny
for such a purpose. Furthermore
had the Red Lake bands been
allotted their lands in severalty
thirty one years ago and as speci-
fed il the legislation Of 1889 all
timber and surplus lands would
long ago have been sold and. in
all probability, the agricultural
lands, which are still tied up''
would be occupied by settlers,
being cultivated and yielding a
bountiful revenue to both the
settlers and the public generally,
whereas such lands are now yield
ing nothing and but serve to con-
tribute cause of much vexing
annoyance to the Indians, the
general government and the pub.
lie. -
Concerning Mr.. 'Steenerson's
reference to the General Council
in the sense that it is composed of
Thieves and robbers,'' this state.
ment is certainly libeloQs, ungen-
erQus and as base as it is uncourte-
our and untrue. Messrs Beaulieu,
Fairbanks and Morrison, mention-
ed, comprise names which are
linked with the early fur traders
and pioneer families of the state
and who have contributed mater
tally to the progressive and in
dustrial development of the state;
and who have demonstrated their
loyalty by liberal contributions to
the ranks of the boys in blue dur
ing the Civil war, the Sioux war,
the Spanish war and the recent
great World war, not forgettinR1
the noble sacrifice of many of their
women folks in the Nurse and Red
Cross service during the great
World war. And to these families
may be justly ascribed the greater
credit for the preservation of the
tribal integrity aud present pro.
gressive and intellectual prosperity
of the Minnesota Chippewas, not
withstar,ding all arguments to the
contrary.
In conclusion it might be we'll to
state that the ACTIONS of tbs mem-
bers Of the Legislative Committee
of the General Qouncil and their
endeavors to halt the prodigal
appropriations annually requested
by the Indian Bureau and mostly
to be employed for administrative
purposes was, in reality the logical
issue which occasioned the intro
duction of the Ellsworth Bill. The
members of the Legislative Com

preparations were contrary to the
provisions of the Legislation Of

things and concerning the said
appropriations, as follows; II do
