Fire loss in Becker county for

Hon. B. L. Kingsley, State Fire
Marshal.
The total loss for the year was
$3l, 1886 as against $1S,707 for
1922.
While an increase in loss by fire
is always to be deplored> still Mr..
Kingsley does not regard the
showing as calling for undue criti-

as fled with the department show
a most gratifying increase in the
removal of fire hazards, together
with the construction of better
fire resisting buildings. This is

ship upon all Indians born within
the territory of the United States.
Heretofore only certain classes
and individuals have had this
standing. Most of the Indians
living on reservations have been
considered simply as wards of the
nation, without the legal status of
citizenship. Thus in the one hun.
dred and forty eighth year OF the
independence of these United
States it has pleased Congress to
admit the descendants of the orig
inal American people to the same
legal status as aliens who have
gone through the necessary pro.
cedure after FIVE years of contin.
uous residence here. In granting
citizenship to the Indians it is ex.
pressly provided that they shall
not thereby be deprived of any
rights in tribal or other property.
Nor is their new status considered
inconsistant with wardship, so
that the Federal Government is
not relieved of its obligations to
those residing under its care on
reservations.
In the past the Indian tribes
have held a special relationship to
the Government. which John
Marshall described as that of do
mestic dependent nations" In
the early history Of the Republic,
relations with them were largely
conducted through treaties, which
our State and Federal Govern
ments shamelessly disregarded
whenever it was convenient. Not
