Indian Land Bill
Back TO Committee
After Criticism,

The Bursum bill, dealing with
Pueblo Indian lands in New Mex.
leo, has been recommitted to the
Senate public land committee as a
result of strong criticism directed
against the measure since it's pass.
age by the Senate several months
ago.
Charges have been made that it
grossly discriminates against the
Pueblo Indians in New Mexico
and that it would be used as a
means to deprive them of some of
their most valuable lands which
they have held for centuries in
Spanish. Mexican and American
administrations.
Although these charges are Wig
orously denied by trainers of the
bill, prospects are that they will
be sifted to the bottom at hearings
which the public lands committee
will institute at an early date.
When the bill came up on the
calendar, Senator w. E. Borah
(rep., Idaho) inquired whether it
sought to settle claims or whether
it was merely an enabling act for
settlement. Senator Bursum re.
piled it was an enabling act. 1t
was promptly passed. Immediate-
~ upon its passage, however, a
storm of protest began to reach
Washington from the Indians and
the friends of the Pueblo Indians,
which included many prominent
men in public life.- They contend
that the bill is something more
than an enabling act and that it Isl
sunjustly discriminatory againss
the Indians. 1
There was also some dissatisfac
ton on the part of the old settlers
of New Mexico who occupied lands
included in the Indian domains
and VITO, it is asserted, would be
put to considerable expense in
clearingtheir titles to property.
Immediately upon the reconven.
ing of Congress, Senator Borah,
at the request of interested parties,
moved to recall the bill from the
House. The motion was carried
and the House complied. The &C.
ton was unusual but effective.
Once the measure was returned to
the Senate, Senator Borah moved
that it be reconsidered. This mo-
ton was likewise carried and it
was then recommitted to the pub.
lie lands committee.

Crippled Condition Of =
White Earth Reserva-
:. ton Misunderstood,

The passage of the Clapp
Amendment as a rider on the APP
propriiations Bill in 1906 was the
measure that ushered in the diff
culties. It was hailed by the peo
pie generally as a relief measure
but owing to the. peculiar condi'
tons it created itmuddled. up the
land titles on account of its incom-
pleteness. The first few years of
operation seemed to be a boom to
ibis part of the country but later
it acted to cripple and hinder pro-
9ress. A few, over-enthusiastic
advocates of this act had an eye
only to getting the land of the
reservation in such shape that it
could be bought and sold. There
was group Of members of the
1eservatiion at White Earth who
asked for roll Of: the full blood
members Of the reservation as a
psrt Of the act. Gus H. sBeaulieu
deceased, was one of those. who
asked for such roll. If his ad-
vice had been needed at that time
it would have saved the Indians as
we'll as the purchasers of the land
= great deal of trouble and worry
and the loss of countless thousads
By both the settlers and the In
dams. The Clapp law gave only
the mixed blood Indians the right
TO- sell. As the law provided for
no roll at the time of its passage
many of those who were not sure
of their status conveyed their
lands. The government then in
stituted suits, something like 1900
of them and clouded the titles to
lands on the whole reservation.
This act reduced the price so
that many Of the Indians who de-
sired to sell conveyed their lands
for q pittance of the real value OF
their land. The cloud on the
titles effected the actual settlers in
such a way that they had q hard
time to borrow money. The rate
of interest was too high and mon
ey generally hard to get, and the
cloud on the title prevented: them
from disposing Of the land. 1t is
hard to estimate the loss occasion

White Earth reservation. j. H.
Hinton made roll of the full
bloods and mixed bloods 90 the
reservation in 1910, this roll how.
ever was not an official one. was
far from satisfactory and was not
passed on by Congress. 1t was
not until the question of the Su.
preme Court of the United States
that the beginning of the end of
this controversy came. Then
this decision that held that mixed
blood Indian was one with any
degree of other thsn Indian blood.
This belated decision came over II
years after the passage of the
Clapp Act. Then commission
was appointed to make roll now
referred to as the Powell Roll,
which was approved by the Fed
eral Court and Congress. The

indians Re|ent Toward
Whites; Tourists Given
Rain Protection.

An incident which happened the
past summer indicates perhaps as
we'll as anything else the changed
attitude of the reservation Indian
toward the state. The SO. called
fish trail" used by wealthy sports
men of Milwaukee and Chicago
runs through the Menominee res.
ervation in Wisconsin, and is the
first automobile road blazed thro
that section after the automobile
came into general use. In the in
cident referred to, one of the res
ervation Indians, hearing that an
automobile camper had been
caught beside the trail in the rain,
with no shelter near, removed the
tarpaulin from his threshing ma
chise and rendered it to the camp
er. No tips were iuvolved-it was
simply an act Of courtesy.
The Federal government is now
working out On experiment with
these Indians is = tribal or com
munal, land-holding system, at
the same Time that communal use
of land has teen abolished among
other Indian tribes by act of Con-
gress and making allotments to
individuals. y
The Menominee reservation COW
ers an area approximately eigh-
teen by twenty-four miles in ex-
tent, and is under the supervision
of Edgar A. Allen Of Keshena. 1t
has a population of about 1900
Indians, and their communal hold
ings total $4,000 acres, large
portion being in timber. Among
the Indians are nine veterans of
the Civil war and twenty veterans
of the World war.
The most successful farmer on
the reservation now has 100 acres
under cultivation, with about a
dozen Indians and whites working
for him. He is the outstanding
example so far Of what the gov
eminent hopes to accomplish in
the experiment there. All the
smaller farms, as we'll as this large
one, show a surprising degree of
neatness and order, which is one
of the FIRST essentials to success
impressed on the operators. There
is an experimental farm and a
government logging project, and
the reservation families are lead.
ing about the same kind of life as
the white farmers in that section.
The commercial system, as prac-
ticed Oh the Menominee reserva
ton. provides fund to help sup
port those who, from any cause
are unable to full care for them'
selves. Each Indian gets all he
makes, but the forest products
keep up the communal fund.
which is not large as yet, about
$40 per head q year. but it is
bound to increase, as are the earn
ings of the Indian workers from
year to year. t.l.- IL ~.
