Dear Senator Spencer: Ia
With reference to Senate BOIL
in connection with the report to-
you dated january ., 1922, from
Hon. E. G. Finney, Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior, on Senate,
1926, which is similar to BOIL, we
desire 90 make the following oh.
servations. -. -.
The time bas come, and we be.
heve you will agree with US, when
the Indian tribes should take =
more prominent part in the gov
Eernment and regulation of their
affairs. It is true that the tribal
Indians are still wards of the gov
eminent. It is further true that
the Indian Bureau has sought and
still seeks justification for keeping
the Indians as wards of the gov
eminent. -. 5s. > IL. :. = ~~f=
: In the second paragraph of Sec.
retary's Finney's letter he says
that in many cases the large ma.
5iority of the Indians are not com:
petent to determine what lis best
for their needs and that action of
the council would not be as safe a
guide as plans prepared by the ad-
ministrative body of the govern
ment. If this is true, then it is a
just and deserving criticism of the
Department of the Interior and
the Indian Bureau. They cannot
defend their action in keeping the
large majority of the Indians in
competent and IS wards of the
government and unable to deter
mine what is best for their needs.
We have always thought that Il
was the business of I guardian and
trustee not only to care for its
wards and dependents, but to edu-
cate and train them and seek to
make them independent and conn
potent. -. 49,. US, ~
According to the statements of
Secretary Finney, the efforts Of
the Indian Bureau have not been
very successful along these lines.
The Department seeks Justification
for the present condition of the
Indians by reason Of the neglect
of the Indian Bureau. $
Further, may we respectfully
remind your COMMITTEES that the
United States Government even
before the foundation of the pres
emit gov eminent on July 4, 1776.
when the Declaration Of Independ-
euce was announced, has been deal
ing with tribes BY means of Coun-
ellis. May we further remind your
COMMITTEES that the Indian tribes
Of the original thirteen states OF
the Union today are not wards OF
the United States Government By
reason Of dealing with the English
Government by mesns Of Indian

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

]. r. Morford. an attorney OF this
city. addressed the Dormitory Club
Of the Y. NJ. C. A.. at Its weekly din
ner in the lecture rom Of the "Y"
last night Mr. Morford discussed
tho possibilities OF vocational train
ing. not only among ex-service men,
but by young people in all walks Of
life.
Mr. Morford said that the tendency
now was for young men 10 pick out
profession or business best suited
TO his qualifications instead OF shift
ing into business" or choosing pro-
fession because Il seemed feasible.
The problem in most cases, he
said, was the means Of support dur
ing the period Of vocational training
In the case Of the ex-servioe men this
was solved by the aid given by the
government.
In the case Of the ordinary indi-
vldual there we're many opportunities
for vocational education while work
ing by attending the schools that had
been established all over the coun-
try.
There was an excellent attendance.
A short song service preceded tho
dinner with Miss Bennett and Mrs.
Frank Mitchell at the organ.

DICKEL co. ADVERTISES
TIRE IN NOVEL WAY

During the latter part Of the
month just passed G.. W. Dickel &
Co. tire dealers. 2o6 West Eleventh
street, announced a novel stunt to
advertise a new automobile tire for
which they have recently acquired
the Wilmington agency.
The Lafayette Tire. made at Al
lentown. Pa, is hailed as one OF the
finest productions Of its kind on the
market and to acquaint the tire buy
ing public with its merits a dollar
sale" is now being conducted by the
local dealers. There was no difficulty
in finding buyers for the tire when fl
became known that they could pur-
chase two of a guaranteed article
for the price of one. The tires were
so quickly bought up that it was
necessary for H. r. Pyle. manager
OF the firm. to make two trips TO AL
lentown during the week Of the sale
for additional allotments Of tires to
satisfy the demand.
Reasons for the fact that the
Lafayette tire can be sold at lower
cost than many of the other high
grade makes were given at the store
not long ago. In the first place the
zinc oxide. an important element in
the manufacture OF tires used by the
Allentown company is brought from
a place not more than a three or
four hour automobile run from the
manufacturing center. The rubber
used is brought from New York
which is only a two-day trip. There
fore it is obvious that the cost of
transportation of some of the com
modities needed in the manufacture
ing process Is extremely small
Then. a new process in the making
OF tires Is employed at the plant
and that. too, helps to greatly re-
duce the cost OF making the tire.

ASK CONCRETE
ROAD TO Shore
Movement Now on Foot to
Secure Federal Aid for
Highway
WOULD BUILD LINKS
OF PRESENT ROUTE

ELMER, N. j., July 17-Construc-
ton of a modern concrete highway
across the lower end of the State, 10
provide a short route for southern
motorists running to Atlantic City
and other Jersey coast resorts, will
be the next big step in the road
building program in South Jersey,
provided Federal aid can be secured
in sufficient amount to push through
the project.
The paving would be laid on the
present shore route from PENIS
Grove, on the Delaware River, across
Salem county through Woodstown
and Elmer and thence down through
Atlantic county by way of Mays
Landing and Pleasantville to the
sea. Thirty miles of the route al
ready is of concrete.
Much criticism has been fired at
State Highway officials for their ap-
parent neglect Of this route and
failure of the State Highway Com
mission to appropriate funds for the
paving of at least part OF it when
large sums have been expended
upon roads of less importance. Now
State Highway Engineer Wasser has
been comforting with the county en-
gineers in Salem, Gloucester and
Atlantic counties with respect to a
plan for utilizing Federal aid for
the paving of this route, which until
recently had seemed but a mere
possibility for the dim future.
