WadSworth Ready
to Inform So|ons
on Indian Affairs,

Declaring his willingness and
readiness to explain any Indian or
reservation matters upon which
members of the state Legislature
may desire information, Mr.. p.
K. Wadsworth, superintendent OF
the Consolidated Chippewa Indian
Agency at Cass Lake, has sent q
letter to every member of both
House and Senate of the state
legislature.
In his letter Superintendent
Wadsworth declares that recently
efforts have beeu made to misin.
form the public and the legisla.
tors. Mr.. Wadsworth makes
special mention OF the article pub
lished in THE Tomahawk" in our
issue of April 8, in which, he de-
clares, are many statements which
are not true.

At the present ratio the Indians

Laws to Encourage
Automobile Accidents.

Although a food of compulsory
automobile insurance bills were
introduced in the various legisla-
lures, the tabulated list already
exceeding sixty, very few of them
got anywhere. In great majority
of cases the strong arguments
made against the measures were
sufficient to postpone action.
The reasons against the plan are
many and cogent and we're we'll
set forth in the report of the Com
mittee of Nine appointed to con-
slider such measures. This report
holds that such laws would not
prevent automobile accidents, but
would rather tend to increase
them, and outlines the other argu-
ments against the plan and the
inevitable tendency to encourage
state insurance.
Edison S. Lott, President, United
States Casualty Com mpany, says the
one remedy that meets the whole
situation of automobile accident
insurance, compulsory or other
wise, is prevention Of accidents.
The prevention of accidents"
be says, "is worth more than all
the compensation in the wide
world for accidents. Therefore,
we should first concentrate our
efforts on prevention, and avoid
any partial remedy or mere pallia.
tive that might tend to divert
public attention from such objec
tVe. Above all, we should AVOID
any palliative that might tend to
increase the public dangers from
motor traffic rather than to pre-
vent or reduce them"

Loud Cries Of Liar.
minnesota Daily Starr

When the Indians of Minnesota
ask for food, the superintendent
of their agency answers-what9
From a letter in the hands of
the Star and sent to every member
Fot the state legislature the answer
seems to be: 8
You're liar.' 81
The name is P. Il. Wadsworth.
He is superintendent of the con.
solidated Chippewa Indian agency
at Cass Lake, and his letter COMES
on the let'erhead of the Depart
ment of the Interior, United States
Indian Field Service.
Mr.. Wadsworth writes to the
members of the legislature asking
for an opportunity to appear be-.
fore it. He opens his letter with
the charge that statements in an
article published by Indians is
untrue.
This very clearly shows the
attitude of tie superintendent of
this agency in the face of condi.
tions that have been reported not
by Indians but by white people of
good reputation for reliability.
It'is entirely clear to, everyone,
perhaps, but the Indian superin
tendent that the Indians of this
state have been deliberately cut
off from any possibility of con
tributing properly to their own
econoulic support.
1t is the rankest kind of evidence
Of mismanagement and poor policy
that the government agents have
not been able to direct these In.
dians so that they may earn their
own living but have allowed them
to faltinto a position where they
had to call for help from the
capital in their tribal funds.
The fact that $50 per capita is
frankly insufficient to stem the
suffering they have undergone
adds to this evidence and that
there should be any call at all for
Minnesota to help is still further
grounds for investigation Of the
Indian superintendent.
Relief for the indians is i'm
perative.
If Mr.. Wadsworth is capable of
putting them on their feet then
perhaps he and the United States
government ought to be continued
on the job.
If not. then Minnesota ought to
be given control over the Indians
within her borders and it would
be very much of a surprise if the
state could not make them an asset
instead of a liability.

People, But "Guardians" And Other
White Nelghbors Aren't Over

The Usage Indians in Oklahoma
are the richest people per capita in
the world. Once they were about
the poorest; now they won't look
at anything less than a twin six.
What is the explanation9 Oil,
In 1920 each member of the
tribe received $10,091. In 1921,
due to a decrease in the price of
oil, it was less. But all they had
to do to get it was just to be alive.
Almost the first thing l saw in
Pawhuska. the capital of the Usage
nation. was q car drawing up in
front of a music store and a young
Indian and his wife getting out.
On the drivers seat sat a white
chauffeur, but not the kind of a
chauffeur l had expected. No
uniform, 40 nobby cap, no leg
gings. Instead he was coatless and
collarless and seemed to be trying
to stretch it out to two shaves a
week. He did not move to open
the door; in fact he did not even
turn around. His employers might
have been in Tibet for all the at
tention he gave them. While they
were getting out be lit a cigarette.
Then, taking q mass of folded and
crumpled paper from his pocket
evidently carried for just such
wayside reading-he selected a
colored comic page and slid down
on bis spinal column to make the
best of the wait.
There are two kinds of Indians;
the old and the new; the snappy

tials on q monogrammed belt, and

ton. On his head was a huge
sombrero and under it a coil of
hair. In his ears were great rings
and on his feet were moccasins.
His shirt was silk but as be got
out saw that bis trousers were
merely two separate and distinct
legs, attached by leather thongs
to a belt.
He entered the confectionery
store with his wife few respect,
full feet behind. As he was one of
the older and more picturesque of
the blanket Indians the customers
Immediately came to attention, but
he gave them never a look nor a
glance. Ice cream was what he
wanted, and from under his blank

and immediacy OF service interest

The pail was returned, filled, and

swept a tall glass jar of candy
from the counter. It smashed on
the floor. He did not pause; he
didn't even look around. He gave
the damage no concern, for he
knew that it would show up in
good time on his monthly bill.
The matter of the bill is never
forgotten. But it takes wisdom
to be an Indian trader. You can't
just 60 into town with a handful
of diamonds and then move on
again to pastures new. An Indian
does not trade that way. He be-
lieves that the whole of white man
kind is out for his commercial
scalp, until ne thinks a trader
proves himself worthy of his trust.
