Walker, which has recently beer
remode!ed into a sanatorium iC

for occupancy. The Indians now
have a modern, up-to date, sana-
torium, the second in the United
States for the treatment exclusive
ly of Indians afflicted with the
disease. There are four large
wards which will accommodate
from 20 to 80 patients, four wards

Thus far we have not attempt.
ed to train teachers for other than
the primary, pre- vocational classes.
Comparatively few of the Indian
girls find it possible to continue
into the universities, and we are
therefore not preparing them for
advanced teaching.
We are hoping that some day
friends of Indian education will
make provision for scholarships in
good American universities for the
Indian girls who are fitted to 60

ton, not only Chat they may be
prepared for advanced teaching,
but that tqey may enter other

James |, Coffey
And Harold KnutSOn

Under date of Oct. 14th we are
in receipt of a communication from
james L. Coffey, written from
Cloquet, Minn., in which Mr..
Coffey takes exceptions to an ar
ticle published in recent issue Of
The ToMAHAwK regarding the ac-
tivities of Harold Knutson, the
Sixth Districts misrepresentation
in Congress. Mr.. Coffey is much
peeved on account of our attitude
toward the candidacy of Knutson
for reelection to Congress and his
communication is a yelled boost
for Knutson and nothing else.
Mr.. Coffey accuses us of not being
fair with the Chippewa question
and of being under the control of
Webster Ballinger, attorney for
the Chippewas. All of this is old
stuff to US from Mr.. Coffey. We
may state, however, for the benefit
of our readers that this paper is
rot under the control of Mr.. Bal
linger or any other attorney, or of
any faction whatsoever. We have
always been glad to publish both
sides of the Chippewa controversy
providing our information came
from reliable sources, we admit
we have paid no attention to an.
noyance communications such as
Mr.. Colfey is in the habit of
writing, nor do we intend to do so.
Such policy would only tend to
mislead the Chippewa people and
do no good whatever. 1t is we'll
known among the majority of the
Chippewas that Mr.. Coffey has an
axe to grind and that his activities
in Chippewa matters are prom pied
Solely by selfish motives. He calls

Gets Views Of Lawmakers

The Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation has made a survey of
the attitude OF. members and pro
spective members of the Minneso
ia State Legislature toward pro-
posed State and Federal constitu-
tional amendments and other
measures which, in view of the
coming election, are engaging pub
lie attention. Tho result of this
survey should be of great interest
to voters.
The attitude of legislators was
sought on four different questions:
l) the proposed amendment to the
state constitution giving the legis
lature power to impose a tax on
gasoline, the proceeds to be used
for road purposes; (2) the pro
posed amendment to the state con-
stitution authorizing the establish
ment of state owned terminal
grain elevators at Minneapolis and
Duluth; 81 the county area test
plan for tuberculosis control; and
| (4) the proposed amendment to
the federal constitution giving
Congress the power to limit, regu-
late and prohibit the employment
of persons under Is years of age.
Early returns from this survey
are as follows: Forty-two legis-
lators favored the gas tax amend
ment and three were against it;
thirty-six favored state owned ele-
vators-six of them conditiopally-
and three were opposed; thirty
three favored the area test for
tuberculosis-six of them condi-
tionally-and six we're opposed;
seventeen favored the labor amend
ment and twenty live opposed it.
The object of this survey was to
get an idea of public sentiment on
these measures, all of which are
of interest to the voters of the
state and especially to farmers.
1t will be noted that there was
no effort to make any division
between parties in making the
survey. The Farm Bureau is
a strictly nonpartisan organization
and stands for freedom of action
in regard to the franchise.
The Tomahawk., 1924-10-23

attention to the per capita pay
ment bills by which the Chippewas
received 500 per capita, and
would like to give Knutsou credit
for the passage of those measures,
when as a matter of fact Knutson
deserves very little credit for the
passage of the bills. In fact,
nearly all of the bills pertaining
to Chippewa matters IN which
Knutson has been interested were
Indian Bureau bills and were pre-.
pared in the Bureau which got
Knutson, who has always been the
mouthpiece of the Bureau in Con,
gress, to intrpduce them.
Mr.. Coffey would do we'll to
look over other newspapers in
northern Minnesota before he
finds fault with our attitude to-
ward The reelection of knutson,
many of them are a great deal
more bitter in this regard than
this paper has ever been. In fact,
as we do not reside in the Sixth
district we are not interested in
Knntson's candidacy only in so
far as concerns the Minnesota
Cbippewas as u whole, and anyone
who will read the Congressional
Record will readily sec that Knut.
sons activities in Chippewa mat
ters did not concern them rs a
whole, but Only as to certain
bands-the Red Lakers for in
stance.
Mr.. Coffey says we should pub
lish his communication if we wish
to be fair, but as it is nothing
more than a political boost for
Knutson we refuse to do so. We
are as cognizant with Representa-
tive Knutson's record in Congress
as Mr.. Coffey is, and in our opin-
ion it is nothing for either the
residents of the Sixth Congression-
oil District or the Indians to be
proud of.

Gas Tax Need Not
Increase Auto Tax,
Legislature Has Power to Lower Present
Automobile Schedules TO Offset Any
Levy on Gasoline.

Minnesota automobile taxes in
the future will not be necessarily
raised or lowered by either adop.
ton or defeat of proposed Gas Tax
Amendment No. 1 on Nov. 4, but
failure of the amendment may
force auto owners to contribute to
general state expenses AID possibly
reduce funds needed for road
work, Nickles n. Dimes, the gas
tax man, said in an interview this
week.
The only purpose of the gas
tax amendment to be voted upon.
at the next state election, he ex-
pl&ned, lis to allow the legislature
to put gas tax money into the road
fund, in case it decides to levy
such a tax.
The main effect of the amend
ment is to say that Minnesota au
tomobile owners shall not be taxed
for general state government ex-
penses in addition to paying all
taxes for the improvement and
maintenance of 1000 miles of main
highways serving four out of five
users in the state, as they are al
ready bound to do by the constitu-
ton. , ...E
THE legislature now has full
power to tax gasoline at any
reasonable rate," said Nickles N.
Dimes. But if the majority of
all votes cast on Nov. 4 are not
yes votes, and gas tax is levied,
the money must go into the state
general expense fund and cannot
be used for any road purposes
whatever '"

Indians to Teach Indians

= A recent number of The Indian
Leader reprints the following
article from the Christian Science
Monitor:
. Indian teachers for the Indian
primary schools is the aim of H.
B. Peairs, superintendent of the
Haskell Indian Institute, Law
renee, Kansas, and director of In,
dian education in the United
States. In pursuance of this pol
icy he has obtained from the In
dian Bureau permission to re-
establish at Haskell the normal
training classes, such as were
given from 1894 to 1906. Already
a class of FIVE has been graduated, ,
of whom two are now on the
teaching staff of HASKELL and two
are teaching in Indiau schools
elsewhere. A class of fifteen also
graduated last June.
II have felt for long time that
the teachers of Indian children
ought to be thoroughly familiar
with the home life of the Indians,
and that Indian young women are
particularly fitted for This sort of
thing" "says Superintendent Peairs.
''When the normal and commerc =
ial departments were discontinued
seventeen years ago it was because
those in authority believed that
too much was being done for the
Indian-that a common school ed
ucation was all that was necessary.
1T was soon appreciated, how
ever, that the Indian boy had just
as great capabilities of succeeding
in business way, if he had the
training, as the white boy, and the
business courses were re-estab-
lished. 1t took longer, in the
case of the normal training classes,
but we now have them at Haskell
not at any other of the Indian
schools-and we hope to be gradu-
ating each year classes that will
average fifteen or more.
Establishment of the normal
training classes made it possible to
provide classes for the smaller
children at Haskell, something we
had not been able to do before.
In fact, we had to have the prim
ary classes in order to provide the
proper practice work for the pros
pective teachers.
"The normal training course has
been made a part of the vocational
work of the institute. Every
student, when he has completed
the tenth grade at Haskell, is re-
quired to elect some vocational
course for his remaining two years
at the institute. This addition OF
the normal training.training course
simply extended the choice.
& ''The courses, as we have devel
oped them. differ little from those
given in any normal school. They
include The theory of teaching,
educational psychology, and little
of the history of education. A
bit more stress, perhaps, is giver
the teaching of English to non
English speaking pupils. that
would be done in other schools
