Bill for Repayment
To indians Awaiting
Presidents Signature

President Coolidge is expected
to sign soon, if he has not already
done so, the bill passed by Con-
gress at this session authorizing
the Secretary of the Interior to
reimburse certain Red Lake In
dians of Minnesota who have
suffered loss through the taking
of their individual garden plat,
without remuneration to them, for
Indian school farm purposes.
The bill passed the House sew
eral weeks ago and passed the
Senate without objection last week.
The money will be paid to the
Indians out of the tribal trust
funds and is not to exceed $1,000.
The measure was endorsed by the
entire Minnesota delegation in
Congress and Immediately re.
ported favorably by the Indian
Affairs Committees of both the
House and Senote.
1t was pointed out, in urging
passage of the bill, that many In.
dians on the Red Lake reservation
had surrendered their private
garden plats for school farm use
and had never been compensated.
The bill, as passed, will enable
each Indian to receive payment
for the transactions.

them are fullbloOds, who remain
without this so-caled citizenship.
The new bill as introduced in
the House was offered because it
was difficult for an Indian to ob.
tain citizenship without leaving
the reservation and taking up his
residence apart from any tribe.
The Senate, however, extended
the scope of the law to give citi-
zenship to every Indian, inasmuch
as most Of them already have be-
come voters through accepting
allotments of land.

Almost every Indian on the

Bureaucracy a Ia Mode.
(By Joseph w. Latimer)

(By Joseph w. Latimer)
Our Bureau of Indian Affairs
exemplifies the ease with which
autocratic methods entrencb them
selves in democracy. Whenever
and wherever a democratic gov
ernment undertakes to be paternal,
necessarily, a paradoxical situation
results in an extremely complex
system of bureaucratic control,
which is. for this reason, all the
more despotic. ThereAis, of course,
nothing complex about our Bureau
of Indian Affairs in the minds of
those who see, feel and know the
wrong and injustice which is being
done to $40, 900 human beings in
respect to their life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness. But the
elaborate political machinery in
stalled and kept a-humming by the
Bureau does appear wondrously
complex to all those who are
forced, as are our many Indian
benevolent organizations, to
cooperate with and work through
the Bureau in the prosecution of
their benevolent purposes.
We cite three instances of the
Bureaus despotic control as noted
from the point of view of it's so.
called "wards":
/. In the State of Washington
there is q group of those whom
the Indian Bureau fondly but
falsely designate as citizens, and
who own property and money to
the value of some twenty million
dollars. But every dollar of this
immense estate is in the immediate
charge of one man, a superintend-
eat appointed by the Bureau, rep
resenting autocratic power over
not only the estate, but the Indian
whose property it is The Indian
has no legal redress when this man
abuses lis autocratic power, and
he frequently forces his power into
the most sacred of family relations
of these Indians. This autocrat,
at the source of these twenty mil
lions, receives q salary of some
$135. 90 per month for such re-.
sponsibilities.
Q. In Minnesota, the Chippewas
are other American citizens,
according to the standard of our
Bureau. An investigating Com,
mittee appointed by Governor
Preus of Minnesota a few months
ago in a formal report cited cases
of starvation and general cendi-
tion which they described as of
fraud, debauchery, and gross
betrayal of justice that has never
been excelled." These last quoted
words were purposeDy copied from
report of a Congressional Com
mittee made in 1912. These Chip
pewa Indians in 1912 were the
same citizens" as they are now
"citizens.' Also, the charge is
against the same Bureau of Indian
Affairs, with some of the same
officials in charge today as we're in
charge in 1912. Starving" ip

tribe at various periods in the
hands of this Bureau, these Black

None of the Indians above cited

an unwieldy legislative (not judi.

Fundamently there is only Ole
class of citizenship in this country.
There is no provision for quasi.
citizenship. Our foundation as a
government rests upon a guaran.
teed freeborn condition of every
child born under our Flag. The
highest civilization approves the
human and divine right of the in
dividual to choose for and to help
himself; in other words, to be a
free agent. Every race abiding
in this country, whether citizen or
or not, has free entry to our
courts Except the American In
diam.
The American Indian under
Bureau control is denied all the
fundamentals in the foregoing
paragraph. Further, the. highest
among this race agree that the
American Indian wants no special
favors; is opposed, as any self re-
specting people, to the benevolent
and religious paterDalism which is
now imposed upon him AID which
he is helpless to resist; but, on the
other hand, wants only an equal
chance with all other citizens in
this country, to Eight his own
battles" and work out his own
salvation. He Is opposed to seq
regated Indian schools, but wants
his children in our public schools
as are the children of all other
races. ,
To further this end
/. We advocate an immediate
grant by Congress of unrestricted
citizenship to each and every In
dian under the control of our
Bureau of Indian Affairs, with all
the rights of every citizen to our
courts. Why any restricted citi-
zenship to the American Indian
when we have nothing of this kind
with any other race on earth9

rights of the Indian as a human
being, and his property rights

we further advocate some special
