BUSY at the Capital.

A young man from Virginia came to
Washington the other day. 1t was his
first visit to any place larger than his
county seat, and the rush of pedes-
trians, motors and street cars made
him register as many thrills. After re-
covering from a daze that must have
been something like a motion-picture
nightmare, he gasped out a breath
catching surmise to a friend on the
side:
Its mighty crowded here. Must be

Especial to The ToMAHAwK }
The indications all point to the
ultimate redemption of the prom
ises of President Harding that the
American Indians will receive a
square deal under his administra-
ton. The new Secretary of the
Interior, Hon. Hubert Work, be-
lieves in q square deal to every
person, and particularly to the
wards of the Nation. His method
of transacting public business is
the exact opposite to the method
pursued by his predecessor. He
believes in the elimination Of
secrecy, in doing business in the
light of day. -
For the first time since Hon.
John Barton Payne retired as Sec
retary of the Interior the doors of
that Office have been thrown wide
open to the public. Henry M.
Teller years ago won the conf
dence, of the western public as none
of the predecessors had ever done
by opening the doors of his Office
to the public and transacting the
public business in the light of day.
John Barton Payne, Secretary for
only q short time under the Will
son Administration, adopted the
policy of Henry NJ. Teller aud in
turn re.estaolished confidence in
the public in the Interior Depart
ment. The reports and recon
mendations of his subordinate
officers carried no greater weight
with him than the cold facts of the
case entitled them 70.
Secretary Work has gone bis
predecessor one better. When
they were in Office entrance to the
Secretary's Office was through the
Offices occupied by their private
secretaries. Today the door lea1;

Work sits at q desk at the end eff
the room and is ever ready to re
ceive any just complaint against
any part of the service under the
department over which he pre-
sides. The conferences with bis
subordinate officers are held in
public. Before any citizen is de-
prived of property or private
rights he is afforded hearing.
No longer can subordinate officers
exercise the arbitrary powers they
have heretofore exercised. No
longer can those in charge of In
dian matters act arbitrarily to the
loss and injury Cf the wards OF
the Nation; prevent the ward or
his or her representative from ob
tanning an audience with the Sec
retary, and thus make final their
arbitrary acts. The scheme here.

to make a reply to the above article
published in the Minneapolis Trib-
une on March 18th, 1923, in regard
to the needy Indians in this part of
the State. n. ),
The committee has been in close
touch with the prevailing condi
tions at present as well as at the
time the representative of the
State visited the county a month
ago. The rations spoken of above
were delivered to only few of the
needy ones and that the rations
stored at White Earth were ex.
hausted as reported a week ago.
The fact that the Indians have a
government doctor here does not
help them but very little, as those
who are unable to pay for the
medicine prescribed for them and

is prepared to show the inefficiency
In the system Of distribution of
rations and the handicap in the
work of caring for those who are

statement in the above article in
the Minneapolis Tribune is at
varience with the investigation Of
our committee and that his system
of distribution of rations and car.
ing for the sick contributes but
very little relief to the needy In
dians.
The effort to secure legislation
at the last session of the 9th Con-
gress was blocked as to tho per
capita payment and the bill H. r.
1885, Omnibus BilD failed to
pass, hence no relief was provided
for the Chippewa Indians of Min.
nesota. As voters of the State Of
Minnesota we are requesting the
State Legislature to conduct an
impartial investigation of the dis
tressful conditions that prevail
among the Chippewa Indians. We
urge a thorough examination of

agent without first affording the
accused full opportunity to be
heard in his own defense.
The new Secretary possesses
remarkable executive ability.
Keen of perception he quickly
grasps a situation and applies a
remedy. There is NO lost motion.
1t would be a revelation to those
members of the Chippewa tribe
who have heretofore visited Wash
ington and sought in vain an liter
view with the head of the Interior
Department in order that they
might present the true situation
relative to their affairs to visit
Washington now and observe
conditions existing under the Ad
ministration of Secretary Work.
Edward L. Rogers filed through
Webster Ballihger last week the
appeal to the President from the
report of the Commission appoint
ed to appraise the value
OF the timber on the Min
nesota National Forest Re-
serve. In the absence of the
President the appeal was submit
ted to Secretary Work in person.
Secretary Work is now inquiring
into the matter. The appeal shows
that the report of the Commission,
if it should become final, would
cost the Chippewa people more
than three million dollars in the
value of land, timber and loss in
interest. The report is manifestly
unfair to the Chippewas and if the
national forest reserve scheme
should be consummated it would
only be further act of repudia
tion on the part OF the United
States of its agreement with the
Chippewas. Mr.. Rogers shows
conc!usively that the forest reserve
will operate to the loss and injury
of all the people including the lp-
dians 10 three counties in which it
is located; that with the exception
of the Ten Sections, Star Island
and Pine Point. which comprise
less than 10, 900 acres, there is no
forest and will not be for ,lunI
red years, during all of which
time great body of land is to lie
dormant, uoproductive, and non
taxable. excluding all form of
public improvements, dwar6ng
and stranglipg thriving towns and
resulting in double taxation upon
the Indians and the taxpayers of
the counties and State. Mr., Rogers
has requested q hearing before any
action is taken by the President.
The defeat OF the Red Lake per
capital payment bill has brought
the representatives of the Red
Lake Indians to q realization that
the Red Lake situation must be
adjusted before they can hope to
obtain any further per capita pay
ments. As a result Peter Graves,
who has been in Washington for
the past two months in conference
with Daniel B. Henderson, is un-
derstood to be in favor of an i'm
mediate adjustment of the -contro,
versy between the Red Lakes aud
the remainder of toe Chippewa
Indians. He is beginning to rea-
lize the folly of the position taken
by the Red Lake Indians, and that
they are now the victims of a
policy pursued by the Indian Bur-
eau that was wrong from its very
inception.
