'ioner, Chas. H. Burke, what the

sioner, Chas. H. Burke, what the
white men in the Indian Bureau
have done to the Indians. They
did not only take one or two dol.
lars, but they skinned the Indians
out of thousands and thousands OF
dollars. And if you are not
familiar with the skin game the
Indian Bureau played on the In
dians, l will furnish it to you in
typewriter form. Just another
word-a bill is pending in Con.
gress to bring about a final settle
ment to the competent Indians in
Minnesota. | notice in this bill
the word discretion" is used
freely. This l presume means
that the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs will use his own good
Judgment as to when and how he
may settle with the Indians-if
they ever settle.
In my good judgment-if you
give the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs too much authority these
poor Indians will be thrown out
on their own resources with what
the Indian Bureau will call a final
settlement-four or five hundred
dollars.
II will not be necessary for me
to write the other Minnesota Con
gressmen, this letter will serve
you all.
Senator Henrick Shipstead will
get q copy of my report on the
activities of the Indian Bureau
since its creation up to the present
time.

Chippewas Seek Fair Set
tIement for Land and
Timber in Minnesota
National Forest Reserve

aNSN'oAAS0 W.
and reasonable settlement for the
timber lands owned by the Chip
pewa Indians in the Minnesota
National Forest which, according
to the appraisal made by special
committee to the Secretary of the
Interior, January 16. last, are
worth 81, 400, 1876 SO, Mr.. Edward
L. Rogers, as a legal representa-.
tive of the Indians, has addressed
an appeal to President Harding
urging that the Government dis
regard the report and arrange a
new appraisal for the timber and
lands which he estimates to be
worth at least $4,000, 900. -
Citing that these lands are the
last of the great estate which once
belonged to the Minnesota Chip
pewas; that originally, when these
lands were ceded to the United
States for a specific purpose it
was estimated tnat the lands and
timber thus ceded would bring
approximately $50, 900, 900 to the
tribe; that the actual amount rea-
lized to date for this vast empire
ceded has been only little in
excess of $1,000 900. Mr.. Rog-
ers pleads that, as the Minnesota
National Forest is the last of the
Minnesota Chippewas' estate, that
the Indians be given full value
and justice for this last yestige of
the property. -..~--..
Under The provisions of the Act
of May %, 1908, a commission
was appointed last summer to ap
praise the timber and lands ou the
Minnesota National Forest Reserve
and to pay the Indians according
~. After holding three councils
for the purpose of appointing a
member of the tribe as one of the
commission, the Indians reluctant
ly appointed a member of this
commission October 81, 1922. Mr..
Rogers was appointed to represent
the Indians in an appeal from the
report of the commission in case it
was not satisfactory. 3
The land in the Forest Reserve
is to be sold at the arbitrary price
of $1.25 an acre. which represents
only small part of the actual
value. Under the agreement the
Indians were to receive the price
at which this land could be sold in
the open market. The report of
the Secretary of the Interior fixes
the value of the 19O,944.93 acres
taken at $238, ,681. .16. which is
declared to be something between
5 and 8 per cent of-its true value.
In his appeal to the President,
Mr.. Rogers charges that this is
plain taking of the lands without
just compensation and is plainly
confscatory."
Congress-" says Mr.. Rogers
in his appeal, tsnever intended by
the Act of 1908 to disregard and
violate the plain terms of the
agreements entered into with the
United States under which the In.
dians ceded this property. 1t did
not intend to enrich the Govern.

A Communications

(The following communication to
Hon Harold Knutson, member of
Congress, from j d. Bishop uf
Minneapolis, was received last
week with the request that it be
published } ~
1915 Fourth Ave-, South,
Minneapolis, Minn.,s
Feb. "a, 1923.
Hon. Harold Knutson, *
Member of Congress,
Washington, ID. @.
Dear Sir
l wsote you Feb. 5th relative
to H. r. 9411, and in your reply
of Feb. 9th you did not mention
what | asked for. i
Now, Mr.. Knutson, will say
this much to you and the rest of
the congressman. That had you
any backbone or push and had any
sympathy for the Indians in
Northern Minnesota we would
have had our two hundred dollars
per capita payment to tide US over
the winter. t.
But of course we are Indians, it
made no difference whether we
died from exposure or from want.
The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs is living on the fat of the
land-and where does he get it9
the Indians money of course.
If the Russians, or any other
other foreign country want relief,
they get it p. D. @, but the In
dians' wants are tied up for the
want of legislation.
Why is it necessary for Con.
ffress to tell us what monev we
should have, when the money,,.is
already ours, and why is it that
Chas. II. Burke and E B. Merritt
have such influence over Congress?
/ have heard of Congress passing
bills over the Presidents head
but we presume the Commission
er's head is much higher than the
Presidents. This is the only rea-
son we can see why we did not
get our 5000 per capita payment
according to the o. j. Larson
Bill.
Another bill for $4,000 has
been pending in Congress for the
relief of destitute Indians in Min
nesota. This $4,000 has been
dallying in Congress for some
time; do you or the balance of the
congressman consider this relief
no, it is starvation relief. These
poor Indians need it now, and
before the Agent at Cass Lake,
MINI, gets the authority to pay
it out, a majority of these Indians
might be dead But who cares,
they are only Indians. The Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs once
said, Give an Indian a dollar and
he will come back after two"

WASHINGTON. Feb. Back
from a visit to Mexico, Elmer Dover,
former assistant secretary Of the
Treasury. says that European caph
tai Is pouring into Mexico. German
and English money are in the lead,
competing for the wonderful oppor-
tunities that confront investors.
American capital Is tagging far be

Dover has been the ''go-between"
between President Harding and Presi-
dent Obregon. He has just completed
his fourth unofficial" trip between
Washington and Mexico City.
VIII the United States recognize
the Obregon government" I asked
Dover.
There is no change in the status
OF negotiations for recognition Of the
Mexican government" said Dover
THE two governments appear unable
to reconcile their respective policies.
Briefly, the United States Govern
ment has requested that the Mexican
government sign a treaty before rec
ignition is given. while on the other
hand, the Mexican government in
sists on being recognized first and
signing the treaty later.
ct is my belief there is very little
difference between the two govern
nents in matters Of principle or pol
icy; it Is more a difference in pro
cedure."
