What has become of the
1ambeyant promises of Charles
II. Burke that he would adjust the
affairs of our people honestly if
ne could only have a free hand.
He promised Fralk d. Beaulieu
that unless be did accomplish
something he would turn the
Chippewa matters over to the
General Council. He has accomp
lished nothing except to persecute
the Indians who have opposed his
policy. He has failed to redeem a
singular promise. He has lost the
confidence of the Chippewas as
well as practically every Indian in
the country. He should retire.
He has done enough damage to
President Harding's administra-
ton. : -.... +
Will the Republican leaders at
the Capitol continue to, support
the recommendations of the Indian
Bureau and deny to the Indians a
square dealt If they do every
Congressman and Senator running
on the Administration ticket in the
next election will find that be is
carrying heavy handicap. In
Missouri the Indians have man.'
friends in the various church or
CARNATIONS. Those friends have
already committed themselves in
opposition to the re election of
Senator Spencer on account of his
attitude toward the Indians in
supporting the policy Of the In
dian Bureau. 1t is safe to say
that Charles H. Burke has already
.alienated at least fifty thousand
votes from Senator Spencer he
would have otherwise obtained.
and that his defeat iG tne next
campaign Is almost certain unless
some radical change occures.
If the Administration hopes to
succeed in the next election it
should get rid of those men who
are dragging it down to defeat. ,

SUBSCRIPTIONS s1.su PER YEAR II lDvASct
CONGRESS ADJOuRNS.
Little Done For The indians Throughout
The Country,

The Fourth Session of the Sixty
Seventh Congress has now passed
into history. The events that
transpired during the last session
have only tended to crystalize and
cement the opposition of the
American Indian to the Party in
power. The pledges made the
Indians of this country by Presi-
dent Harding in the fall of 1920
have not materialized, not through
any fault of the President, but
solely as the result of an ill-con-
ceived governmental policy at
tempted to be inaugurated by
Charles H. Burke, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs under President
Harding's administration and his
Democratic Assistant Commis-
sioner, E. B. Merritt. AS to E.
B. Merritt the Indians of the
-country-ksow~ him to=be a .naan
who travels along the lines of least
resistance, always with the one
object in view of personal pre-
ferment. The Indians Of the
country, prior to March 4, 1921,
had often heard him tell the Com.
mittees of Congress of the great
financial sacrifice he was making
by continuing in his Job as AS
sitant Commissioner. Just before
March 4, 1921, he sang a different
song. Then he pleaded HE long
service, his impoverished financial
condition, and his inability to
make living il separated from
the service, as reasons for his re-
tention. As to Charles H. Burke
he was defeated for public Office
in his own state and since that
defeat for reasons we'll known has
never dared to 60 before the
people of his own State Of South
Dakota as an aspirant for public
Office. The policy inaugurated by
these two gentlemen resulted in
the last election 10 the Indian vote
of the country, with the possible
exception of the Indian vote in
the State of South Dakota, going
practically solidly anti-adminis-
tration, and with the Indian vote
went the white vote in practically
every Indian community. In
Minnesota the Indians spoke in no
uncertain terms. Senator Kellogg
and Congressman Steenerson, two
sdministration supporters, went
down In overwhelming defeat,
in the State Of Washington, Sen
ator Poindexter, an administration
supporter, was defeated by a
margin that could have easily been
overcome by the Indian vote,
which went to his opponent. The
same story was told in Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma. New Mexico,
Arizona, Utah. Wyoming and
other western states.
Only in South Dakota, where
mem like Congressman Johnson
and Senator Sterling, to whom
Commissioner Burke owes his ap.
pointment, and who refused to
permit the general policy 20 be
applied TO their Indians. did the
Indians support the National Adj
Z ministration candidates.

been vicious, and If it had not
been for men hike Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin and Senator
King of Utah who stand for a
square deal to the American In
dian as we'll as to every person,
much of the bad legislation recon-
mended by the Indian Bureau
would have found its way upon
the status books of the country.
An illustration of this is shown by
the Congressional Record of
March 4, 1928. pages 5420-5421,
II. r. 1885 contained two vicions
provisions relating to the Chippe-
wa Indians. One was found in
section one of the bill which per,
mitted the Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs to make settlement
with any Indians of any tribe
Unliquidated claims could not be
considered. The settlement was
to be made upon the basis of the
property in Hand. The Indian
was required to execute receipt
in full for all claims to any and
all tribal property. After the
settlement was made the Commits
sioner was authorized to then
withhold the money. On it's face
it looked as though the Indian
with whom the settlement was
made was in fact getting at least
something but in reality he was
having only a small part of his
inheritance set aside to be expend
ed as the Indian Bureau saw fit.
Another provision in the bill per
mitted the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs to use 100000. of
the trust funds of the Chippewas
in the purchase Of rations-four,
bacon, etc.-for free distribution,
and denied to the Chippewas a per
capita payment. The provision
in the bill was useless dissipation
of the trust funds. A per capita
payment would nave been a bless
ing. The bill was loaded with
other similar provisions. The
Congressional Record discloses
that when this bill was reached
for consideration in the Senate on
March 4th, the following occurred:
THE bill III. R. 13ss5y author
izing the Secretary of the Interior
to appraise tribal property of In
dians, and for other purposes, was
announced as next in order Mr.,
La Toilette. Let the bill go over.
Mr.. Spencer. May | ask from
whom the objection camea Mr..
La Toilette, ! made it. Mr..
Spencer, l do not ask the senator
to withdraw his objection, bat |
do want to say to the Senate that
this is a bill which has to do with
the welfare of the Indians.
" Mr.. La Toilette. 1t has to do
with the 'WRONGFARE' of the
Indians, / thiuk. Iinsist on the
objection.
THE Presiding Officer. The
bill goes over on objection"
When the bill H. r. 656s pro-
viding for a per capita payment
to;the members of the Red Lake
Band outsof the property that be-
longs to all the Chippewas was
reached the record discloses the
following:
t'The bill (H. R. 656s9 tor the
relief of the Red Lake Band Of
Chippewa Indians of the s.State of
Minnesota, and for other pur-
poses, was announced as next in
order.
''Mr. King, Let the bill go
over.
''The Preceding Officer. The
bill will be passed over"
Thus Senator King prevented
the looting OF the property of all
the Chippewas for the benefit of
the members of the Red Lake
Band, the particular pets OF che
Indian Bureau.
