certain claims they have against
the federal government.
Webster Ballinger, attorney for
the Chippewa council, said that
before the 81, 100000 can be dis
tributed among the Chippewas a
new roll will have to be prepared.
1.-THE old roll, except IF Indians
on the White Earth reservation,
was made in 1901" said Mr.. Bal
linger. MANY of the adults have
died, and many children have been
born since then. If this legislation
passes. it will take year or more
to prepare a new roll, and the In
dams will get no money until a
new agreement has been made,
and new roll prepared.''
The jurisdictional bill, which has
also been introduced by Chairman
Snyder, provides that ''all claims
of whatsoever nature which the
Chippewa Indians of Minnesota,
or any band thereof, may have
against the United States may be
submitted to the court of claims,
for determination of the amount,
if any, due FROM the United States
under any treaty or agreement, or
for the misrepresentation of any'of
their trust funds or for the failure
of the United States to lawfully
administer their property held by
it in trust; and jurisdiction is here.
by conferred upon the court Of
claims, with the right of appeal to
the supreme court by either party,
to hear and determine all legal and
equitable claims which the said
Indians or any band thereof, may
have against the United States.
The bill also gives the court of
claims jurisdiction to hear and
render judgment on claims of the
Red Lake band of Indians, which
have been treated separately in
legislation enacted by congress.
Both bills will be considered by
the committee after the holidays ~

A SONG OF HOPE

The gates of day open herald to the night ,
Procams Wakonda spoken to His children of the light.
We waited long sorrow council fires were low,
But of hope He sends make the embers glow.
Oh keep the fires burning, while the Spirit envoke,-
To cleanse from all hared His has spoke.
Our hopes swiftly dying, and the night coming
We dared hope for morning and the rising of the sum-
But Wakonda watchfu, bent His to hear cry
And whispered Children patience the Spirit broodeth neigh
And out sent swift as the waters flow
Wakcnda Oh Wakonda, has heard His chdrens woe!

To lift heavy burdens, and hearen hopeless
Oh lift your heads high greet the morning star!
Our is not dying race, but mighty in power
So make people ready, the hour is drawing
Wakonda, Terowa has heard His chidren's prayer!
