The Tomahawk., 1924-07-17

lhereupon, Charles II. Burke,
then a member of the House oi
Representatives from the State ot
South Dakota, on January Is,
1906, introduced in the House a
bill, known as H. r. No. 11,946,
to amend the General Allotment
Act Of February 8, 1887. The
object of this bill was to preven,
the Indians in South Dakota from
voting liz any subsequent elections
upon the relocation of the State
Capitol. By diligent effort MIR.
Burke succeeded in securing the
enactment of his bill into law and
its approval by the President on
May 8, 1905. By this amendatory
law Indians thereafter allotted
could not become citizens of the
United States until they received
patents in fee from the Depart.
ment, and under the allotment law
patents il fee could not be issued,
except in cases of death, for
twenty. five years after the allot-
ments were made, or for longer
period in the discretion of the
President. This law was general
in its application and was not con
fined merely to the Indians in
South Dakota. Thus to retain the
State Capitol at Pierre in South
Dakota Mr.. Burke denied to all
the Indians throughout the United
States who had not heretofore
received allotments the right of
citizenship, which right had there
tofore been given them by laws
of Congress upon the taking of
their allotments. By this one act
Mr.. Burke succeeded in prevent
ing large body of the American
Indians from becoming citizens of
the United States and thereby
participating in the affairs of their
Government, both State and Ma
tional.
For eighteen years the Indians
sought to have this injustice cor
rected. In 1928 the present Sec
retary of the Interior callec a
conference OF the leading Indians.
At that conference the Indian
representatives were unanimous in
their demand that citizenship
should be accorded the Indians
throughout the country. To fore
stall this effect the present Com
missioner of Indian Affairs drafted
a bill as a subterfuge, which he
caused to be introduced in the
House providing as follows:
THAT the Secretary of the
Interior is hereby authorized,
in his discretion, under regu-
lations to be prescribed by
him, to issue a certificate of
citizenship to any nonc1tizen
Indian born within the terri
torlal limits of the United
States, who may make app!i.
cation therefore, and, upon
the issuance of such certificate
to any Indian, he or she shall
be a citizen of the United
States"
The effect of this bill, if enacted
into law, would have been ih effect
a continuation of his law of 1906.
The bill as drafted passed the
House and was sent to the Senate
for its concurrence. When it
reached the Senate. Chairman
Harreld of the Senate Committee
on Indian Affairs and Senator
Curtis took the matter in hand,
These two men. one of whom is of
Indian blood, have evidenced a
deep interest in Indian matters.
They succeeded in striking out the
entire provisions of the bill as it
passed the House and in substitut
ing therefor the following: .,.
That all noncitizen Indians
born within the territorial
limits of the United States be,
and they are hereby, declared

STATE GAINS $5,0O0,Ooo .
in GRAIN VALUES
Maryland Farmers Realize More
For Their Corn, Wheat, And
Oats Than In 1928.

Maryland farmers realized $5,OO0,-
600 more on their corn, wheat and
oats this year than in 1923, accord
ing to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation, which reports that the
national increase in grain values a.
mount to $550,OOO,0O0. Oats alone
were responsible for gain of half a
million, while wheat brought farmers
of this State an added 4 millions and
corn an extra half million over last
year, the report states.
While the Maryland corn crop for
1924 fell considerably below that of
the preceding year, the better price
this year. brought the total income to
25 million dollars, approximately the
income for the year before. The in
crease in the wheat crop this year
brought the value up to $13,50O,OOO
as compared with $9,9OO,0O0 of 1923.
The oat crop of this State this year,
too, showed a gain with the result
that farmers will have taken in one
and one-half million dollars on this
crop as compared with one million the
year before. @' w
| The yield per acre on corn iii Mary
land the report states, dropped to
1912 bushels per acre as result of
unfavorable weather, but the profit
! per bushel to the farmer was 80 cents
as compared with 24-the year before.
The wet days, on the other hand, were
a great help to the wheat and oats
production, the former rising to 20.8
bushels per acre as compared with
1872 the year before, and the latter to
34.1 from 1913 in 1923. The, profit
per bushel Of wheat this year was S6
cents where only, cents was taken
last year and IL cent profit in oats
for the 9 cent loss of the preceding
year.
| The increased yield per acre, of
small grain and the increased price
per bushel on all grains has aided ma
| terially in restoring the farmer to a
better financial basis, the Foundation
report includes. The higher grain
prices have resulted in higher live
stock prices and this has brought a
new vitality to agriculture.

INFANT PARALYSIS
SITUATION BETTER

The infantile paralysis situation in
Montana at the present time appears
more favorable than at any time
since the outbreak in Garfield county
early in July and that in Missoula in
the latter part of July. In Garfield
county there have been thirteen cases
with two deaths. This epidemic ap-
pears to have subsided. The number
Of cases reported from Missoula is
lessening and the disease has assum-
ed a much milder form. Out Of the
last forty-four cases reported there
has been bat one death. Just how
much permanent damage Will result
in those cases recovering, can only
be determined by a later survey. In
Gallatin county there have recently
been eight cases with but one death,
only two Of these cases occurring in
tha city Of Bozeman. Butte hae re-
ported three cases, two Of then hav-
,ng come into the city from outlying
districts. Yellowstone count las re
ported three cases, one occurring in
Billings During August one case
occurred in Dillon and one in Lima,
no further cases developing Four
cases have occurred in Ravalli coun-
-. We have reason to believe that
all cases occurring in the state have
been reported to this office. Judging
from the history of previous epidem-
les, we expect the disease to subside
on the appearance Of cold weather.
Some physicians have reported fav-
orably on the value of the Rosenow
serum in the treatment of this dis
ease. This serum cannot be obtained
in the open market, being put out
only by the laboratory of the Mayo
Foundation. 1t is very difficult to
keep on hand a sufficient quantity
to meet the requests of the doctors.
At the present time the State Board
of Health at Helena has a limited
quantity for distribution.

Ca'an Goes to anaconda
Jack Gavan, formerly connected
VII la Rialto theater orchestra II
Eo...an, and prominent tHeater or
cl,- ra leader and music teacher of
sos 1-c.aral Montana, departed last
We for Anaconda where he has
sic contract with d. c. Scott,
of ,oda, owner Of the Margaret
and 'na.ral theatcrs in thai city, to
MANAGE ,hose popular playhOuses.
Mr.. Gavan came to Nontara from
Wisconsin eight years ago, and set
tied n livingston, where he engaged
in orchestral work, muse teaching
and qrtcd the first delicatessen or
dairy store in the Park county seat.
The establishment was since sold to
V. c. Schustrom. Mr. Gavan also
ha3 barge Of the Park county high
school orche~trl in Livingston and
built the organization until it ncw
has the reputation as one of the best
preparatory school orchestras in the
state. William Hotis, former i.lc-t0.
of the Rialto theater orchestra IL this
city, has moved with Mrs. HOtis and
their three children to Livingston,
where he takes over the direction of
the Orpheum theater and high scnCol
Orchestras. Mr.. Gavan is considered
one of the best orchestra directors in
the northwest, being a master trap
drummer, a musical composer Of con-
siderable talent and at home on any
instrument used in bands or orches~
tras. A successful future is predict
ed for Mr.. Gavan if he decides to re-
main in the Treasure state because
of his familiarity with every phase
and department of the theatrical
business.
