PRESIDENT VETOES
PENSION MEASURE
Calls Proposed Expenditure Tax
Burden in First Exercise
of Power.
GOES OVER TO TUESDAY
Bursum Says 51-10 Sentiment, In
suring Repassing.

Exercising the veto power for the
first time. President Coolidge return
ed to the Senate yesterday without
nibus pension bill.
The President in doing so informed
the Senate that he objected primarily
to the bill because it would entail an
"unwarranted expenditure of the
money of the Taxpayers at a time
when 1.-The burden on the taxpayers
must not be increased, it must be
decreased"
THE desire to do justice to pen
must be attended by some solicitude
to do justice to taxpayers" the Ex-
ecutive said in his message. 1.-The ad-
vantage of a class can not be greater
than the welfare of the nation"
Taken Up Late in Day.
The Presidents message reached
the Senate soon after it convened, but
was not taken up until late in the
day. After it had been read, Senator
Bursum, Republican, New Mexico,
who with Representative Fuller, Re-
publican, Illinois, is author of the
bill, moved that the matter be laid
on the table to be taken up next
Tuesday. Senator Bruce, Democrat,
Maryland, proposed that the bill be
taken up Immediately, but the pre-
siding officer ruled that Senator
Bursum's motion had precedence.
Senator Bursum, pointing to the
vote of 81 to 10, by which the Senate
passed the bill April 1, declared the
measure would be passed over the
Presidents veto, but Republican
leaders, both in the Senate and
House expressed the belief that the
chief executive would be sustained
in his veto. The House approved the
measure without record vote.
Second DisapprovaI.
The veto given the measure was in
effect the second disapproval of the
bill. A somewhat similar measure
was passed by the last Congress and
vetoed by President Harding on the
grounds of economy, and also on the
grounds that it was loosely drawn
and would have put on the pension
roll almost every widow of a civil

When Mrs. Noble Newport Potts,

gates to the annual convention of the
International League for Peace and
Freedom were discussing the perplex-
ing prblem of how to abolish war, the
meek little dove of peace took her
cue and began to search for a place
of refuge. The bedlam Of noise and
turmoil that came as n sequel to Mrs.
Potts unheralded appearance, was
enough to convince the Indifferent
'listener-in" that the peace meeting
was no place for the gentle dove.
Armed with a questionnaire. Mrs.
Potts stood in the center aisle of the
auditorium after the proceedings
hadsprogressed peacefully for a half
an hour. and began to fire volley of
interrogations at Miss Jane Adams,
international president of the league.
You are out of order" Miss
Adams countered, as she banged her
gavel.
Mrs. Potts Continues.
Mrs. Potts continued to read the
quuestionnaire, and Miss Adams con-
tinued to bang the gavel with more
force. Cries of Rave on inter

from the audience of peace delegates.
The uproar lasted for about five
minutes, and when Miss Adams an

A Proposed Chippewa
JurisdiCtiODa Bill.

Mr.. Dennison Wheelock is now
back in Washington and has sent
The ToMAHAwK the following
proposed jurisdictional bill, with
the request that we publish it for
the information of the Chippewas
of Minnesota. The bill! is not yet
in the shape that it will he when
introduced in Congress, but it is
given out to show what a jurisdic.
tional bill is. Mr.. Wheelock in
forms US that he is mailing Us
copies of proposed bills to pay for
the free homestead land, timber
and forestry act, these will be
published in an early issue-next
week, if they reach US in time.

Republican party, of which be-
lieve both he and Commissioner
Burke are supporters. Also l
don't think Mr.. Wheelock is a
charity worker for the Republi-
cans, as most lawyers are too busy
to waste all their time on penniless
Indians.
My dear tribesmen the Holy
Book says, Beware of the false
prophets.
At one time the great state OF
Minnesota was full of Republicans,
but they lost the state through
their promises they never fulfilled,
and are now trying to regain the
state through more promises.
Thanking you, l remain,
Yours truly,

Suit Entitled John G. Morrison ct al
Against Secretary Work ct all
SUBMITTED BY WEBSTER BALLIRGER
FOR The INDIANS.
Outcome Of Suit Means Much to Minnesota
Chlppewas.
Washington, D. c.,
October 30, 1924.


Especial to The ToMAHAwK)
The suit entitled John G.. Nor
risen ct al, against Secretary Work
ct al, was submitted to the Su
preme Court of the United States
last week by: Webster Ballinger
for the Chippewa Indians. This
case involves the legality of the
disposition of the lands of the In
dians and the use of the trust fund
for defraying governmental ex-
penses. This suit is of great i'm
portance to the Indians.
The argument disclosed that the
main question in the case was
whether the property ceded by the
agreements of 1889 and the funds
received therefrom still remain
tribal, or;whether by the agree
ments they became the properly of
individuals enumerated on the
census rolls. If the court should
hold that the property is still tribal
the indications are that the Indians
will lose. If the court should hold
that the property has been individ'
ualized then the Indians will prob
ably prevail.
If the case should be decided in
favor of the Indians there will be
no further dissipation of the re-
naming lands, timber and funds,
and the rights of the indians to
recover for all past violations will
be definitely established. If the
court should decide against the
Indians in this suit it will not in
terfere with the prosecution of the
claims of the Indians in the Court
of Claims under a jurisdictional
bill. The question of jurisdiction
is the principal question presented
for decision in the Morrison case.
A jurisdictional bill will remove
this question and permit the prose
cution of the claims of the Indians
for all violations of their treaties
and agreements.
Negotiations are going on be-.
tween Webster Ballipger and the
Department in an effort to reach a
definite agreement as to the terms
of q jurisdictional bill to be SUBJ
mitted to Congress at the next
session that will refer all the claims
of the Indians to the Court of
Claims.
These negotiatisns are proceed
ing satisfactory, and bid fair to
result in q complete agreement
As the jurisdictional bill will
govern and control the jurisdiction
of the court in passing upon the
claims, the success or failure of
the Indians depends upon its
wording, or the language used.
The work now being done is of
the utmost importance to the In.
dians.
