To All Indians.

(By William Madison, Secretary,
Society of American Indians.)
Never before IN the history of
this country has there been such a
demand for the real facts concrrn.
ing the administration of Indian
affairs as there is at the present
time. Much credit is due to the
Federated Woman's Club in arous-
ing the public consideration of the
Pueblo Indians condition. They

Bill, which passed the Senate, with
an absolute destruction of their
Pueblo life, their homes and little
farms. The same influences threat.
en- all Indian life and property.
The misery of the Blackfeet, Fort
Belknap and Fort Peck Indians is
due directly to Indian Bureau
supervision that has squandered
their funds 10 useless irrigation
projects, costly administration and
a disregard for the needs of the
Indian people. There is no reason
to expect anything better from the
Indian Bureau System. Particu.

Per Capita Payment Bill
Passed By Congress-
BILL AUTHORIZING sIoO PER CAPITA
PAYMENT TO MINNESOTA CRippEWAS
SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT LAST
FRIDAY.
State Aid Called Off Owing to immediate
Relief From Indian Department.

The bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Knutson authorizing a
payment OF 800 per capita to the
Minnesota Chippewas passed Con
gress unanimously last week and
was signed by the President on
Friday last. The per capita pay.
ment bill was brought to stand
still 10 the House when it was first
introduced owing to the objections
of Congressman Carter, who raised
the point that none of the trust
funds of the Chippewas could be
lawfully paid out until the expir-
alton of the fifty year period as
contained in the agreement of
1889. However the activities of
state officials in investigating con
ditions among toe Chippewas, and
the fact that state aid was on the
way to relieve conditions, coupled
with the earnest appeals of Super
intendent Wadsworth of the Con-
solidated Chippewa Agency at
Cass Lake, caused the bill to be
amended and reintroduced, with
the result stated above. This
should bring the much needed
payment to the Chippewas not
later than March 1st, and possibly
before that tine. The exact dates
and places will be announced
later.
Publicity is great thing these
days. If it had not been for the
investigation and reports made by
committees appointed by Governor
Preus, and the great amount of
publicity the condition among the
Chippewas has received through
the metropolitan press, it is very
doubtful if the Chippewas would
have received the per capita pay
ment at all. The state, through
the State Relief Committee and
the Minneapolis chapter of the
American Red Cross, was just on
the point of sending a car load of
-four and and a car load of meat to
relieve the situation among the
Indians when Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Burke telegraphed
the sum of $1,000 to Superin-
tendent Wadsworth at Cass Lake
as temporary relief until the per
capita payment is made. This
amount will be used in purchasing
necessary food and clothing.

how badly they were in need of it.
The Detroit Record pays the
following tribute" to the Bureau
of Indian Affairs in its administra-
tion of the affairs of the Minnesota
Chippewas:
The Indians are under the care
and jurisdiction of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs of the Department
of the Interior of the Federal
government, which has on deposit
to these 'paupers'' account some
six millions OF dollars, or a sum
equal to more than half the total
assessed valuation of all the pro
perty within the borders of Becker
county.
1T seems needless to make the
statement that the Bureau of In
dian Affairs zealously guards every
prerogative vested in them-and
many that are not-and bitterly
resents outside interference by any
person-official or otherwise.
The Indians ARE facing death

some of them are. This is in the

reau"
While the Record takes a rap at
the Indian Bureau as quoted
above, the editor makes his article
serve double purpose-that of
discrediting Gov. Preus in his
efforts to aid the Indians, and also
that of slurring the Chippewa
people. The Records article is
scurrilous from beginning to end.
Referring in an offhand way to the
Chippewas as "paupers", improvi.
dent, ETC., with six million dollars
to their credit in the Federal
Treasury. The Chippewa people
take exceptions to such statement
as contained in the Record and
rightly 80. The Minnesota Chip
pewas are no more paupers today
than any other race of people
would be had they been all their
lives subject to the despotic rule
of bureaucracy that instead of
giving them what rightfully be-
longs to them has kept their money
and property to insure its own
perpetuity. 1t is true that the
Chippewas have tribal fund of
s., 900, 900 or more to their credit,
but no one knows better than the
editor of the Record how impos-
sible it is for them to obtain one
dollar of this money for relief
among them. Furthermore, the
fact that the Chippewa people
have an equal share in this estate
is no reason why, if they are citi-
zen Indians and tax payers, they
should be denied aid from the
county in which they reside. The
editor of the Record seems very
much humiliated in the fact that
Becker county has ''an Indian
reservation party within its bord
ers." Right here we wish'to state
that the town of Detroit, where
the Record is published, reaps a
rich harvest whenever a payment
of any consequence is made to the
White Earth Chippewas. In fact
Detroit could not boast of the fine
business. blocks, residences, etc.,
it has today were it not that Beck
er county has an Indian reserva-
tion party within its borders "
Much of Detroit's prosperity is
due to the existence of the White
Earth reservation and the land
and other business that is Incl

goes to Detroit. and which has
made many Detroit men wealthy.
