law, issued instructions to the
Commission directing the Com
mission how the rolls should be
made, who should he enrolled and
who should not be enrolled. The
result was that the Commission
prepared a schedule of those that
we're enrolled pursuant to the
Departmental instructions, and
further prepared rolls containing
the names of recognized members
of the bands whom the Commits
sion thought were entitled to, en-
rol!ment but who we're excluded
under the Departmental rulings.
In many instances the Indians
themselves insisted upon the en-
rollment of members of the differ
ent bands who we're excluded by
the Commission under the Depart
mental rulings. Before the rolls
were fully completed the Commits
sion got into a dispute with the
then Secretary of the Interior,
who issued an order directing that
the work of the Commission should
be completed within few months
thereafter. The Commission did
not fully complete the work.
Thereafter few of those who had
been omitted by the Commission
brought suit in the United States
Courts and received judgment
emitting them to participate in
the tribal property. The Depart
ment then without any authority
of law proceeded to usurp 'fonc-
tionings of the Court and to enroll
on the tribal rolls, the names of
persons it thought came within
the rulings of the Courts. Every
such enrolment made by the De-
partment is, in our opinion, invalid.
There are at present a number of
claims pending before the Depart.
ment. Some. two years. ago the
General Council caused the De-
partment to issue an order sus-
pending these applications pend
ing the enactment: of legislation
creating some tribunal authorized
to legally pass upon them. In
this confused situation it is neces-
sary to have some committee or
tribunal authorized to disentangle
this mess. No, member of the
General Council ever contemplated
enrolling great number of adj
ditional persons, but those few
who have just claims are entitled
to enrolment and to protection.
The provision in the law is care
fully guarded Unless such a
provision is included in the bill
the Chippewas will have many
suits against them and will be put
to great expense in defending
them, and in the end number of
the claimants will obtain judgments
and their property rights. Why
put these people to an expense
equal to half of their property
rights to obtain that which law
fully belongs 70 tnem2 Why put
the Chippewa Indians to great
expense in an effort to defeat lust
claimsg The General Council
stands for what is right. :>< So.
Again, the law contemplated q
closing of the allotment rolls on a
certain day throughout the entire
Chippewa country. This was not
done and has resulted in inequality.
The General Council is only
endeavorjng to secure an honest,
Just and fair administration of the
affairs of the Chippewa people,
tribal and individual. 1t has en-
deavored to protect the rights OF
the tribe and of the individual
members, irrespective of any
factional differences. If it has
proposed anything that is not il
the interests Of the Chippewa
people it would be glad to have
anyone point out its error. The
General Council has honestly,

III anyone has reliable information
as to the MANAGE OF automobile traf-
fic to human life il is the life in
surance companies. Therefore when
the Insurance Press says that "The
Automobile has superseded every
form OF disease as the problem OF
the day" II is time for congress and
legislatures and the public generally
10 give the same efforts TO control of
motor vehicles that have been devot-
ed To the warfare against smallpox.
tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Says
The Press: 1T 1.-THE automobileD is
the greatest controllable. yet uncon-
trolled menace OF the generation"
Massachusetts has a law requiring
drivers of auto vehicles to be licen-
sed after examination. Every appli-
cant must show working knowledge
OF the machine he wants TO drive as
well as knowledge Of the rules of the
road. Conviction on the charge of
reckless driving means loss of license.
II Is claimed that this law. enacted
last year has reduced tive number of
auto drivers in the state by IA per
cent and has reduced accidents by 80
per cent.
This sounds interesting. Legisla-
tors in every state might do well TO
investigate the Massachusetts, law.
And in the meantime. courts. juries
and the people generally should be
moving to secure a stricter enforce
ment of the traffic laws that we now
have.
