indian Children Should
Attend Public Schools,

There are in the United States
91,96S indians of school age. g.
279 being Ineligible for attend
ance. Of the number eligible fol-
attendance; 2O,746 are not in
school. Why? Because schoo
facilities are not adequate on Ger
tain Indian reservations, especial
ly in the southwest, among the
Navajo Indians.
The most successful and eco
nomical means of educating The
Indian children is in 'the public
schools of the State in which the
reservations are located. How
ever, on many of the reservations
no public school facilities are
available.
Statistics show that last year
34,3O1 Indian children attended
public schools, and in most cases
the government paid tuition fees
for them at the rate of from ten
to fifty cents a day for actual at.
tendance.
The appropriation for the edu.
cation of Indian children of all
tribes in public schools made by
Congress for the fiscal year is
$25O.OOO.

tlOn TO the matter or the Thirteen
Towns on the northwest corner of
this reservation which were taken
from the Indians and for which
they never received compensation.
He also referred to the cutting of
timber on the Red Lake reserva
tion and the payment of the pro-
ceeds to the Red Lake bands alone,
which was contrary to the agree
ment of 1889.
The matter of the proposed
drainage of Wild Rice Lake was
also brought to the attention of
Mr.. Shipetead and Mr.. Wefald.
and it was explained to them that
this lake with it vast quantity of
wild rice was valuable asset to
the Indians in their struggle for a
living, and that if it were drained
it would mean the complete loss of
the rice crop and thereby deprive
the Indians of this source of in
come.
Attorney F. D. Beaulieu talked
at length outlining the situation IN
general, referring to the treaty of
1889 and also to the Act of 1908,
which created the Minnesota Ma
tional Forest Reserve which has
been So much in the limelight of
late. Mr.. Beaulieu also referred
to the failure of the department to
make allotments to the Red Lake
bands, etc. In fact all matters
pertaining to the tribe were ex-
planned to the satisfaction of both
the representatives in congress
and to all present. The visit of
Senator Shipstead and Congress-
man Wefald to the Indian country
proves beyond doubt that they are
sincere in their promises to aid the
Chippewas in their troubles and
will no doubt result in much good
before another year rolls by.
The congressional representa-
tives were accompanied by Mr.. T.
A Canty, a representative of the
New York World, who is making
the trip with them through the
Indian country with a view to
laying the Minnesota Chippewa
controversy and the true condi-
tions existing among the Indians
before the public through the
columns of tnat great daily. Mr..
Canty's articles will no doubt be
most interesting reading. The
party left in the evening for NAH
nomen, where a meeting was held
the same evening. The party will
visit Red Lake, Leech Lake, Cass
Lake, Walker and Onigum.

Further, no recovery of the money

reparaLion been made to the de-
frauded Indians so far as the in.
quiry of our organization and of
leading Indians and their official
friends has thus far developed.
when an American citizen has
money on deposit in bank he has
no difficulty in getting what is his.
When benefciaries of an estate or
wards of court who are Ameri-
can citizens have money due them
they have little or no difficulty in
getting what is theirs. Not so in
our case. The individual Indian
owners of this $35, 100000 on de-
posit in the banks are put to great
losses, expenses and difficulties in
obtaining any part of what is
theirs.
They have to make frequent
requests and expensive trips to the
agency to get the money, so that
it often happens the expense in.
Cured, equals the amount they
get.
Given High Priced Due Bills.
I'm number of places when an
Indian has money in the Indian
office, he does not get the money
he requests or needs, but instead
gets purchase order for desig-
mated articles. In some cases, the
order does not state the price of
the article, with the result the de,
duction is made to suit those who
control the funds. A survey of
these prices shows the Indian is
being feeced. We have records
70 show that when wheat was 81 25
per bushel, it was sold to the In
dians for seeding purposes at
50 25, and prices charged for
other articles we're similarly high
to the usual market price.

New York World, visited White
Earth last week Wednesday and
met the Chippewas in a mass meet
ing at the school assembly hall.
Mr.. George Berry acted as inter-
prefer and introduced Senator
Shipstead, who in a short talk
stated that he was not here to
make a speech for the Chippewa
people to listen TO, but on the
contrary his visit here was for the
purpose of listening TO the Chip
pewas and to get a line on their
controversy with the government.
He stated that it was common
knowledge that the white man had
not dealt squarely with his red
brothers and that it was his desire,
so far as he was able, to help right
the wrongs done.
Joseph Bigbear in a short talk
laid many of the Indians griev-
ances before the congressional
representatives. Referring to the
treaty of 1889 Ghe Nelson Act) he
stated that the provisions of that
agreement had never been lived
up as the Indians were given every
reason to believe they would be-.
He called attention to the money
now in the Treasury of the United
States to the credit of the Chip
pewas and said he believed it
should he paid to them before it is
all squandered by the Indian de
partment. Mr.. Bigbear also
brought out the fact that it was
the first time in the history of the
Chippewas that candidate for
Office had returned to make good
his premises after his election;
that before election they were
very much in evidence but as soon
AS their Office was secure they
were seldom head from again, and
the visit of Representative Wefald
and Senator Sbipstead was very
pleasing to the Chippewa people.
Mr.. Wefald then stated that he
was here to redeem his promise
made during the summer, anG that
he honestly believed that there was
a change for the better in sight
both for the Indians and whites
alike in the administration of state
and federal affairs. and that he
would be ready at all times and do
all in his power 60 aid the Chip
pewas in any way possible. -.

Money Beyond Their Control.
1T is true such large sum is
on deposit, but it is also true that
this money cannot be used by the
Indian owners except by authority
granted by the United States COM
missioner of Indian affairs, who is
far from the reservations and the
needs of the Indians thereon. Not
only is this authority necessary,
but the money can only be drawn
from the banks by checks counter,
signed by the United States Indian
agent.
These moneys are deposited in
the banks as funds of the United
States, and as such are not subject
to any tax or levy in any way
whatsoever, not even to any claims
of outsiders against the individual
owners.
"What we as Indians complain
of is that not a single owner of the
$35, 900, 900 has a bank book or
any other proof of ownership.
This surely is not businesslike,
safe nor con6dence.inspiring.
During some of the past ex.
ceeding hard times for US Indians,
many of our people who we're
among the owners of this money
in bank found themselves in great
need, some in actual want. But
they were denied the use of their
own money. At that time it was
explained that the principal reason
for this refusal was the need of
keeping up the reserve funds of
the banks and that this money of
the Indians was held to make such
reserves good. Protests and pleas
fell on deaf ears when it came to
getting justice for the Indians as
against the expediency of certain
banks.
