Minnesota Indian
"Expose'' Promised

According to press dispatches
from Washington Representative
NJ. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania
is preparing to ''expose conditions
on the White Earth Indian reser-
vation in Minnesota"
Mr.. Kelly recently received a
three pound bag of -four from an
Indian on the White Firth reser.
vation which the Indian said was a
sample of the ration -four being
issued by the government.
1T was hard as a BRICK" Mr..
Kelly said. 1T appeared to have
been stored in a damp place and
dried before being issued to the
Indians. I sent the -four to the
bureau of chemistry, department
of agriculture, to find out whether
it is fit for human food. If it is
not l will use the information l
have, g4ined to expose conditions
on the White Earth reservation in

Federal government it is very evil
dent that the state officials are
making every effort to forestall
any action on the part of the gov
ernment looking to the recovery
of the swamp lands situated within
the boundaries of Chippewa Indian
reservations in this state, as they
know, or at least should know that
the state has no legitimate claim
to such lands and therefore are
fearful of results should the gov
ernment start suit to recover the
swamp lands already patented to
the state and annul the states
claim to any such lands on Chip
pewa reservations id the future.
If we are not mistaken the At
torney General OF the United
States was instructed some time in
December to demand that the
State of Minnesota pay for the
lands already wrongtully patented
to the state as swamp lands and
which we're within the boundaries
of the Chippewa reservations, and
in case of the states refusal to do
SO, to bring suit at once to re.
cover the lands in question. This
suit should be brought With
out further delay, and not be in
definately postponed pending re.
peated conferences" between the
state officials and the Attorney
General on the subject. This only
causes unnecessary delay of this
important matter which should be
given to the courts at once to de.
eide for good.

Poor Prospects for a
Per Capita Pay
ment This Winter,

Mr.. Edward. L.. Rogers, who
has been in Washington for the
past month representing the Chip
pewas in their matters before
Congress, more especially urging
the payment of 500 per capita as
authorized by the Larson Bill, has
returned. Mr.. Rogers reached
his home in Walker, Mimi, on
January 23rd, and in a commune
cation to Mr.. 7. B. Beaulieu of
t,is village on the above date,
gives the result of his visit to
Washington, the prospects for a
per capita payment, etc all of
which, we are sorry to say, are
not very promising. Mr.. Rogers,
communication follows:

T. B. Reaulieu, = q: ,f..e... - ,-4. -,

Dear Sir: s,~ ..
l arrived home this morning.
Results of my mission to Wash
ington were Mill. / can hold out
no prospects for a payment this
winter.
As l have stated before in my
letters I convinced the Commiss-
ioner that there was a real and
urgent need of help to the Indians
in this state. l believe that / have
convinced him that great many
of the Indians are in poor straits
and that if immediate relief is not
granted many would be in actual
want, suffering and that possibly
few would die of starvation.
When l went l had a list of 800
Indians who actually we're in want
and should have immediate assist,
, ance. ~.
was unable to convince the
Commissioner that all the Indians
needed a payment. This being so
he was willing to extend aid to the
needy Indians to the extent Of
800, 900. This amount to be paid
only to those IN actual want. He
did not approve of per capita
payment nor did he approve of
per capita segregation as ! set out
inmy second letter to you and
upon which proposition / was
working. :. r..
opposed such a payment as
suggested by the Commissioner
and told him that this amount
would not help to any appreciable
extent and that the only measure
which would relieve conditions
would be a per capita distribution
of at least $4,000. This took up
with Congressman Larson and also
saw Chairman Schneider Of the
Indian Committee. Mr.. Schneider
stated that if you are willing to
pay one Indian you should pay all
and favored my suggestion of
making a per capita segregation.
l asked Larson if he would not so
amend his bill so as to provide for
$50 per capita segregation to
which he agreed. He then con-
ferred with the Commissioner
about his bill after SO amended
and to which meeting / was to be
present bnt missed. saw the

Minnesota and U. S.
In Indian Land Tilt.
Ownership Of Nearly $4,000 Acres o'
Swamp Lands Echo Of Allotment Deal.

ed States government and tho
state of Minnesota over ownership
of nearly 550.O00 acres of swamp
land in Minnesota has arisen as d
result of allotment of land to In
dians on the White Earth reserva-
ton, on some of which the state
lays claim to ownership.
Although title to the swamp
lands, which the state was given
the right to reclaim under the act
of March II, 1860, has been the
subject of speculation for many
years, recent conflicts arising from
the Indian allotments has brought
the case to a point where a show
down is desired by both state anG
federal authorities. -
Governor Preus and Attorney
General Hilton have been repre-
senting the state personally in
several conferences with Attorney
General Daughe-ty at Washing
ton the past several months.
An original action to be brought
by the government against the
State of Minnesota in the United
States Supreme Court, is now be-
ing withheld pending another con-
ference, it was learned Friday.
Several individual suits to be
filed by Lafayette French, United
States district attorney for Mime
sofa, in the interests of the In
dians eontesting the states elaits
to the allotted lard on the White
Earth reservation, are being held
in abeyance, pending the antlci-
pated Supreme Courts action.
Two such actions have been dis
posed of in favor of the Indians
by Judge Page Morris in the past
year, it is learned, one in the case
of an Indian named Wakefield and
another called the Maggie Smith
case. Neither suit was contested
by the state in Federal court and
Judge Morris decreed that the
patents developed by the Indians
was legal.
Under the act of 1860, which is
commonly known as the Swamp.
Land Act" the state was given
the right to RECLAIM all swamp
lands within it's boundaries which
had not previously been set aside
specifically for the government.
Shortly after the state filed a
selection list including and desig
mating 600, 900 acres of land which
would be reclaimed. The list was
called. selection list No. 1873.
The government contends the
state has done nothing further to
protect its title to the land except
in the instance of $4,000 acres,
which have been patented.
Although the immediate con-
troversy concerns only lands in
Indian territory, ownership of
which the government desires to
get Strengthened out Immediately
for allotment purposes, an action
brought in the Supreme Court
would determine ownership of
lands in question all over the
state, which have not been patent
| ed, it was pointed out.
Governor Preus has taken the
view of his conferences that swamp
lands on selection list No. 1873
within Indian territory rightfully
belong to the state, as the allot-
ment law was not passed until
twenty years later, the state hav
ing prior claim. This view is un-
der consideration by Attorney
General Daugherty and will have
much to do in final determination
of ownership, it was said. st.
