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

\Dy JOSepn w. LatltneT.J
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
has sole control of Indian money
and property of the estimated
value of one billion dollars. 1t has
under its sole authority 100000
human beings, who are the pre-
sumed bene6ciaries of this vast
billion dollar estate, but who have
not the status of unrestricted oiti-
zenship. They cannot hire law
yers. or agents. of their own
choosing; have no funds except as
the same are doled out to them at
the discretion of the Bureau; are
debarred from any redress in our
courts; and can appeal for protec-
ton of person or property only to
our Congress-, a large and ever
changing legislative, but not a
judicial body. They live, for the
most part, segregated on reserva-
tions, where they are bound hand
and foot by countless regulations.
No similar state of espionage over
person and promised property of
human beiugs can be found in the
confines Of any other civilized
country.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
presumably exists solely in order
to educate and make citizens" of
$4,000 human beings. Ostensibly
it has been performing this duty
for the past fifty years. For thirty
years it has been carrying on with
the unofficial aid of permanently
organized benevolent and religious
organizations. But contact of
these organizations with the In
dian is always at the Bureaus
pleasure.
As citizens, we are taxed to
maintain this bureaucracy, and
paid as high as SIS, 100000 (1921)
for its annual maintenance. Yet
the Bureau. through a trustee,
controls automatically with no
voice by the beneficiary nor court
to curb or check it's actions some
twenty-five million acres of land;
live stock and timber to the value
of over one hundred millions of
dollars; water power, mineral,
irrigation, and oil rights of more
millions in value; and funds and
securities, almost continually in
its hands, of over fifty millions of
dollars" All this property is
non-taxable, and is set apart from
our common interest, or our po.

Our Indian bureaucracy claims
that 200, 900 out of these $40, 900
human beings under its control
are citizens today. But it does
not use the term citizen" as we
employ it, because those so-called
citizens are still denied the right

Congressional House Report
1886 (19l2) details an investigation
on a reservation in Minnesota. In
the words of the committee, the
report gives the "details of a state
| of affairs which for fraud, de-
bauchery, and gross betrayal of
justice has never been excelled. "
Yet there are officials in the Indian
Bureau today who we're officials
therein when the report was made.
The greatest iniquity in our
treatment of the Indian dates from
1887, when the Dawes Act was
enacted by Congress. Its real
intent was to end the ward" and
incompetent" situation. The In
dian tribes we're to cease to exist
as independent communities and
to be made a part of the body
polite. But there was fatal fiaw
i in this act. The Dawes Act pro-
vided that tribal lands, including
reservations, were to be divided
so as to give TO each man, woman
and child of the tribe an individual
holding in such tribal property,
but it left the enforcement of this
provision entirely to the judgment
of q political Bureau. Thirty years
of benevolent caring" for the In
dian and his rightful property has
rendered the Bureau entirely OBJ
livious of the Indians human
rights. Our Indians are atill de-
MED the right to worship God as
they choose and also the rights
of freedom guaranteed by the
aag."
Our duty to the Indian is clear.

Franks was the breaking point in the
plot of Nathan Leopold. jr., and Rich

analysis of the crime given today be-
fore Judge John r. Caverly by Joseph

In impassioned denunciations of the
defendants, Mr.. Savage declared that
if Leopold had forced the body well

found. -T--- ---->..- -

pointing out that the Identification of
the body became known to Mr..
Franks only five minutes before he
received his last message from

sign the ransom letter. I
Mr.. Savage asserted that Leopold
and Loeb had drawn their plans so
fine that If the father had followed
directions and gone to a drug store
in a cab furnished by the kidnapers,
he would have been sent scurrying to
a railroad depot, there to board a

phone call to Mr.. Franks, nor who
had ordered the cab sent to his home.
No one would have known who tele-
phoned the drug store and the father
would have had no chance to notify

MURDER Of SOCIETY

MIAMI, Okla, August 21.-Robert
Hanna, "a. and Frank Rowden, 81,
taxicab drivers of Picher, Okla, were
held here today in connection with
the death of Miss Florence Barton.
Kansas City society girl, who was
slain under mysterious circumstances
several years ago.
A third man, giving his name as
Marvin Wright, is under arrest at
Joplin, Mo-, according to information
received by authorities here.
Hanna was arrested on the strength
of a remark by a woman, formerly a
friend of Hanna, that he ought to
be strung up: he is the man who mur-
dered Florence Barton in Kansas
City" The woman, whose name was
not divulged, was said by authorities
to have become offended at Hanna
while he was in the Ottawa County
jail several weeks ago, charged with
rioting.
Police say the men also are suspect
ed of shooting Howard Winter, the
girls companion on an automobile
ride. believing him to be a Kansas
City detective against whom Hanna
was said to have harbored a griev-
ance. - - .-----
Hanna and Rowden denied that they
were implicated in the Kansas City
murder. They declared that their only
knowledge of the Barton case was
gained from newspapers.
At the time of his arrest early to-
day, Hanna was under $1,000 bond on
a rioting charge, growing out of a
shooting AFFAIR at Picher several
weeks ago, when one of his alleged
companions was wounded by a po-
liceman.

ON BOARD THE U. s. CRUISER
RICHMOND. REYKJAVIK, Iceland,
August 21.-The fortnight's delay in
the American Army aviators' world
flight, due to uncertainty as regards
ice conditions in Greenland and sew
eral mishaps, has brought about a
fuel shortage in the naval patrol,
which is further complicating the
flight situation.
Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder
admitted this fact when his flagship,
the Richmond, put into Reykjavik
yesterday with spare parts for the
planes of Lieuts. Smith and Nelson.
A further delay in the flight, owing
TO weather or other causes, would
have necessitated refueling the patrol
vessels at Rosyth, Scotland, or else
where.
No Emergency Shelter.
Flight Commander Leighton, who
returned to Reykjavik on board the
Richmond after having made an air
reconnaissance along the Greenland
cruiser Raleigh, reported to Admiral
Magruder that the entire coast in
the vicinity of Angmagsalik is un-
suitable for landing purposes owing
to ice. He said that in the event of
forced landings the planes could find
no shelter.
According to Flight Commander
Leighton, another aviator who flew
over the region reached the same
conclusion as he did. The harbor
20 miles north of Angmagsalik. re-
ported last week by Lieut.. Schultz,
was found to be impracticable, as
motor boats would have been unable
to enter it and deliver gas and oil
to the planes had they gone there.
When the Richmond came to anchor
here this morning a gale was raging
and Lieut.. Smith, Lieut.. Nelson and
Lieut.. Crumrine of the air service
