BY NJ. CLYDE KELLY.

Congressman from Pennsylvania.
Written for Cosmopolitan News Service
There is not a job holder in the
Indian bureau from my district
and l can at least approach the
question without pressure, and ex
press the views have held since
had the pleasure of serving on
the Indian affairs committee.
AS it stands today, | am in favor
Of immediate citizenship and settln.
date, say two years in advance
when we shall wind up the affairs
of the Indian bureau, which for
fifty years has been a temporary
proposition; by allotting the lands
and dividing the tribal funds and
the individual accounts of the In.
dams, giving each Indian what is
due him.
This Indian bureau is dealing
with less than 100000 Indians. and
has an employee on the payroll fol-
every eight families. Every new
fact revealed has confirmed my con.
vlction that our treatment OF the
American Indians is the sorriesr
tale that has ever been written
i'll the history Of this Republic.
Sorry Situation At Present.
Nor do l refer to the old days
OF brutal dispossession of the native
inhabitants; / refer to the present
situation of the indian. shac<le!
by despotic system gagged by un
Just power, blinGfolded by enforced
i'm Orance, while o> err them stands
a bureaucracy intent only upon its
own perpetuation.
OF course, there are high sound
ing arguments made in behalf OF
the bureau rule of Indians. The
fundamental argument is that the
Indians are helpless children. in
competent to care for themselves
and would perish were they to be
freed Of the benevolent guardianship
of loving, paternal bureau.
If ninety years of bureau guard
ianship has transferred them into
creatures, who have lost all sense
OF brotherhood and common respon
sibility, so that they would now
prey upon each other to a common
ruin, the blame should be placed
upon the system of guardianship.
The indian bureau has control
over the estate Of its wards amount
ing to 81 100000. 900. 1t spends more
than 100000 for an irrigation sys
tenn on the Blackfeet reservation
where there is a frost every month
1t has kept one out of every four OF
its wards out of school entirely, and
many families in tents and houses
without floors. and that, after nine
ty years of guardianship.
Other Bureau Results.
The Indian bureau has doomed
26,SOO Indians to lace making. wild
rice growing. basket making, bead
work, blanket weaving, fishing
wood cutting and similar pursuits
and boast about it.; yet the average
daily pay for such work was Is
cents day.
The Indian bureau is one bureau
that should have been abolished
twenty-five years ago.
