The Prosperity Of the San
Luis valley depends much upon
the price Of Sheep and Wool.
Sheep and Wool reflect the
advantages Of a Republican
Tariff more quickly than any
other thing. The Republican
Tariff has added millions Of
dollars 70 the value Of the
sheep and wool crops Of the
San Luis valley.
II Democrat Congress were
~ be selected the tariff would
be reduced and the value Of the
sheep growers holdings would
be cut Just about in two, AS II
was a few years ago.
Congressman Guy U. Hardy
helped TO put the tariff on wool
and mutton. He will help to
keep il there.
He has rendered great and
beneficial service 70 the San
Luis valley in this and many
other ways.
Many people in this section
have reason TO know that Con-
gresham Hardy attends TO the
business Of his constituents in
Washington more promptly
and better than any other Con-
gresham 10 whom they have
ever written.
Six years experience and a
close association with the Ma
tional Administration certainly
puts him in position 10 serve
this district better than any
new man could do.
And he will help keep the
tariff on Wool.

Little Relief.

Special to The ToMAHAwK:-

Special to The ToMAHAwK:-
Notwithstanding the involved
and deplorable condition Of the
affairs of the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota no substantial affirma-
tive action was taken during the
6Sth Congress for their relief ex-
cept the authorization of q pay
ment of 800 per capita from their
funds, which has been made. Ar
rangements have been made, how
ever, for . full and complete in
quiry into all of the affairs of the
Chippewas by a subcommittee of
the Senate Indian Committee
which is to make its report to the
full committee not later than the
first day of January, 1925. This,
it is believed, will insure definite
affirmative Legislation at the next
session for complete settlement
of all matters in controversy.
Failure to obtain necessary rem
edial legislation at the last session
was attributable to two causes:
First, the determined position
taken. and steadfastly adhered to
by the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, Charles II. Burke, to &C
cord the Indians no recognition in
the adjustment of their affairs, the
right being claimed by the Com.
missioner, without consultation
with the Indians or their repre-
ssntatives, to formulate and con-
troll all remedial legislation. Sec
ond, factional divisions among the
Indians themselves, prompted in
its inception and ever since aug
mented and kept alive BY the In
dian Bureau and its employees in
order to prevent concerted action
by the Indians. The Indian Bu-
reau has for years been recognized
as one of the most artifully man
aged bureaus of the government
for its own perpetuation, but
never in its existence has it arisen
to the state of efficiency in this re-
gard that it has under the admin
istration of Charles H. Burke. 1t
is we'll known that more than Is
per cent of the Indians under its
jurisdiction should have been lib
Grated and discharged years ago.
By delaying and preventing set
Elements of these estates the life
of the Indian Bureau is prolonged,
and no better exempliication of
this policy can be found than in
the position taken by the Bureau
relative to the estate of the Chip
pewa Indians of Minnesota.
In 1889 the United States en-
tered into agreements with the
Indians containing detailed in
structions to the administrative
officers of the United States for
the allotment of lands to each
member of the various bands and
for the cession of all the remain
ing lands to the United States to
be by its oficars sold and disposed
of upon definite terms recited in
the agreements. The ceded lands

should have netted the Indians a
very large sum of money, which
has been estimated as high as fifty
dollars. The allotments
we're to have been made immedi-
ately after the surveys we're COM
pleted. Thirty, five years have
now elapsed and not a single pro
vision of the agreements has been
carried into execution according to
its plain terms. The allotments
have not been completed, the
great bulk of the ceded property
has been sold, the Indians have
received but little, and there is
today in the Treasury of the Unit
ed States standing to their credit
only about s., 900, 900. More than
half of the money received from
the ceded property has been con.
sumed by the Indian Bureau in
defraying expenses. The Indians
had seen their estate being wasted,
their agreements violated and they
had for "a years appealed to the
officers of the government and to
their Republican Representatives
and Senators in Congress for re-
lief, but without any success.
During the campaign two years
ago Knud Wefald, then a candi-
date ON the Farmer-Labor ticket
for election to Congress from the
Ninth Congressional District
promised the Indians if elected he
would do all in his power to Sc.
cure for them redress for the
wrongs committed by the officers
of the United States in the ad.
ministration of their estate. Mr..
Wefald was elected, and shortly
after the election he inaugurated d

dians of Minnesota. In this he

Labor ticket. So thoroughly had
the public in Minnesota been
aroused by the deplorable condi-
ton existing among the Chippe-
wa Indians for which the Indian
Bureau was alone responsible,
that at the commencement of the
first session of the 68th Congress
last December the entire delega-
tion from Minnesota in Congress
was unanimous in the opinion that
something must. he done looking
toward final adjustment of the
affairs of the Indians in their
state.
The Indian Bureau realized that
affirmative action was about to be
taken by Congress. To forestall
this the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, Charles H. Burke, an
nounced that the Bureau had ad-
opted cefinite policy for the
settlement of the Chippewa estate.
This policy as announced by the
Commissioner was to record the
Indians q per capita payment of
500, TO afford temporary relief,
and to then take up a. many of
their claims as could be adjusted
without reference to court and
settle them by direct appropria-
tions by Congress. The claims
that could only be adjusted by
reference to a court were to be
later referred to the Court of
Claims for final determination.
This plan met with the hearty ap.
proval of Congressman Knutson,
Representative from the 9th Con-
gressional District of Minnesota.
Congressman Wefald realized that
the Bureau was responsible for
the condition existing among the
Innians; that correction necessarily
meant admission of its errors and

H. K. 96, H. r. 27, and H. R. %.
H. r. 25 proposed to make a per
capita payment of $50 to the
about 1900 members of the Red
Lake Band, and denied to the re-
naming about 10,500 Indians a
like payment, although the fund
from which the payment was to
be made in fact belonged to all
the Indians The remaining three
bills appropriated certain sums Of
money in peyment of three cono-
ededlv valid claims of the Indians
against the United States. The
amounts proposed to be appro-
priated had been arrived at by the
Indian Bureau without affording
the indians any opportunity to be
heard and over their protest. Con-
gresham Wefald refused to sup
port this program, and the situa-
tion then took on a political tinge,
Congressman Wefald insisting on
a fair and just ascertainment& of
the claims, while Congressman
Kuutson insisted upon the settle
ment being made as proposed by
by the Bureau. Congressman
Wefald offered to accept the settle
ments if they should be considered
as mere payments on account in
the event it was later found that
they were inadequate. The Re.
publican Committee at first sup
ported Knutson and the Bureau,
and reported out the bills H. r.
25, H. R. 26. and H. r. ~. When
the Committee considered H. r.
% it baked and refused to go
further. The Committee then in.
structed the representative of the
Indian Bureau to prepare and SUBJ
NIT to it bill for consideration
by the committee that would refer
all of the claims of the Chippewa
to the Court of Claims for final
determination. This was a repu-
diation of the position taken by
the Bureau and Knutson.
Congressman Knutson, realizing
that the position he had taken was
untenable and that even the Re.
publican Commirtee would dot
support him further, promptly
shifted his course and introduced
in the House bill known as H.
R. 931S entitled "A Bill Confer.
ring Jurisdiction Upon the Court
of Claims to Hear, Examine, Ad-
judicate, and enter Judgment in
any claims which the Chippewa
Indians Of Minnesota may have
against the United States, and for
other purposes. Upon examina-
ton this bill was found to be ut.
terly inadequate to meet the situ-
alton existing among the Chippe-
was. Mr.. Knutson then went to
the Bureau and had there pre-.
pared a bill which be later intro
duced which is known as H. K.
9343. He then secured from the
Department partial Endorsement
of this bill which is found in the
report of the Committee, H. Rept,
No 1913. He appealed to his Re
publican colleagues on the Com
mlttee to report out the bill. in
order to assist him in his political
campaign, which was done. Mr..
Knutson then returned home to
personally conduct his campaign
for denomination. The bill is un.
satisfactory to the Indians. If in.
acted into law the Indians could
not prosecute their claims under
the Knutson-Bureau bill, nor
could the courts render judgments
for the amounts to which the In
dians are lawfully entitled.
In the meantime Congressman
Wefald realized that on account of
the complicated condition of the
affairs of the Chippewas, an in.
vestigation should be made so that
intelligent action might be taken.
and with the aid of Senators John.
