GOVERNMENT HIT
 ON BOOZE REPORT
Enforcement Weak, Council Of
 Churches Is Told

Washington, Sept, IT Rl-Failure to apply adequate remedies 10 curb diversion of industrial alcohol and manufacture of high powered" beer was laid at the door of the Federal government last night by the research and educational de- partment ofthe Federal Council of Churches in making public an ad- dtional section of its report on the social consequences of prohibition,
 There is no visible reason why the illicit removal of alcoholic beer from 'breweries' cannot be effectu- ally controlled" said the report. The beer problem would seem to De wholly soluble, although it has .Seen one of the scandals of the prohibition regime. xxx
 "The diversion of the industrial alcohol presents at present the hardest task of enforcement. Yet there Is no excuse for the abuses that have developed, and there is no reason why the government can not, with reasonable diligence, con- trol the situation"
 Smuggling Minor Phase
 Discussing at length other en- forcement problems, the report de- clared that smuggling continued to present many difficult aspects. al- though the total amount thus being brought into the United States at present 'is not great enough to make it more than minor phase of the enforcement problems" that the homebrew industry had been virtually eliminated that state ments with reference 10 the growth of an illicit wind industry have been much eXaggerated" that small scale manufacture of bootleg whiskey stil lis extremely prevalent in some section," and that annual with hrawals of liquor from bonded @arehouses have been reduced to 'inconsidcrable quantities.
 The report also contained a com. pilation of costs of prohibition en- torcement placing the total for the present fiscal year which ends next July 1 at s19,319,Sl7. This figure Included coast guard expenditures bccasloned by the operations against rum running. The expenditures oI the prohibition officials themselves Including operations against botl liquor and drug offenders, were list ed as having climbed from S2,o59,.

It makes possible finer quality because Studebaker, being an indepcndent manufacturer, with no subsidiary or allied companies to favor, IS free to buy on the open market, demanding the finest materials at the lowest possible price Studebaker purchasing agents are unrestricted in their search for quality and value Studebaker designers and engineers are unhampered by out side interests.

QuinauIt indians
Win First Round
In Federal Court,
(The Real American)

Quinault reservation Indians
won point ia their controversy
with their Indian agent, w. b.
Sans in Federal court at Tacoma,
Wash. last week when Judge E.
E. Cushman denied the motion to
dismiss the bill of complaint on q
show cause order as sought by the
government.
The case was the outgrowth of
rules put into force by the Bureau
of Indian Affairs through Agent
Sans. Under these rules the In
dians were required to pay license
fee for fishing privileges and to
sell to q boyer designated by the
government. The Indians held
that such rules we're in violation
of their treaty rights under the
agreement of 1856.

that the junior Senator from Ne

Perhaps those two Senators know
too much about the committees
for which they applied, but it is
hard to tell.
Mr.. FRAZIER: have taken a
great deal of interest in the Com

the chairman of that committee, if

in the statement that l have at.

that in some instances have gone

political control of the vast Indian
Estate under bis jurisdiction than
the personal welfare of the Indian.
1n fact those of US who have
known Commissioners for many
years agree that Burke was the
most autocratic of them all.
First Assistant Commissioner
Merit we all knew to be what
you have termed a "Bureaucrat, u
that is, one who has been in auto
cratic control for so long period
of time of the Indians personally,
and their promised property-that
he looks upon US all as per se''
nothing but wards and incompe
tents"
Personally it was the opinion of
those present at this meeting that
both Mr.. Burke and Mr.. Merit
deprive US of our just dues-be-
cause both of these leading officials
had been, in all their experience,
schooled only into the "mystery''
of the Bureau machine which op
crates today to continue the In
dian lin spite of his citizenship as
as ward" and an incompetent
without redress for any wrong
from the Bureau except by Con
gressional action.
In short we all condemned the
present political and Bureau
cratic" control of the Bureau, and
agreed that our most speedy relief
would come when politicians were
ousted as our autocratic Lords. -
the present organization cleaned
out, and che Bureau reorganized
on humanitarian lines, to act as a
Trustee rather than as at present,
a paternalistic autocracy, with the
end in view of its abolishment
To further this end we each
pledged ourselves to organize all
true aud progressive Indians in
separate organizations in each
state, and like the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, to engage in po
litical activity on behalf, independ
ent of party, of only such House
and Senate members who would
be pledged to free the Indian
from the autocratic control of this
un-American Bureau.
| 1t was further understood by
the majority of the Indians pres
ent, that to avoid interference by
the agents of the Indian Bureau.
we should proceed with our in
dividual organizations-but thai
| no national or combined meeting
should be called with the same il

Indian Organization.


came apparent that the Indian was
partially freed, in that he could,
according to the laws of the State
in which he lived, cast his vote
for Congressman and Senators in
his respective State.
Accordingly we urged upon
progressive Indians, from nearly
all Reservation States to enroll
themselves and enter our National
political life, and to further such
end to form organizations, one for
each Reservation, or tribe or state.
Strong organizations have been
effected in Minnesota, South Da
kota, North Dakota, Washington,
Montana and many other states.
Without our intimate knowledge
this move has gained such rapid
headway that get together"
meeting was held in Washington,
D. c., according to the following
published letter from Mr.. Meade
Steele, a Sioux Indian. from the
Ft. Peck Reservation at Wolf
Point, Montana.
We strongly endorse the organ
ization of these units and urge all
Indians, unorganized, to form Or
ganizations for the purpose of ex.
ercising their right to vote for
Congressman and Senators in :heir
respective States.
These organizations should each
have one main object, and that is:
To clean out this Bureau as it is
now organized. This means loyal
work and your leaders should be
free of all Bureau control. None
should be tolerated who work
With the present Bureau organi-
zation. -. ~'.'~- f. '~

Mr.. Joseph w. Latimer,

My dear Mr.. Latimer:
Before l leave Washington, l
wish to give you and ask you to
publish a report of a meeting held
here of members of various Indian
tribes in Washington at the time
and who had all been working on
your suggestion, made to many Of
US last summer and fall, to organ
ize individually on our various
Reservations for toe purpose of
exercising our citizenship right to
vote for such Congressman and
Senators who would give ear to
the deplorable condition of the
Indian as a ward" and an in
competent" ->-~. .~....
Those of us, posted upon our
rights, realize tnat we are still
held under an autocratic Bureau
without redress to any Court. We
are as "beggers'' before our Com
missioner of Indian Affairs-as he
is without any restraint from any
Court, nor is any Court open to
us--though we were last June de.
clared to be citizens. Z
Therefore this letter to you-as
it was significant, that so many
representatives of different tribes
should be here at the time and that
each of such were of equal unani.
nous opinion.
There were present representa-
tives of the following tribes:
Grow, Sioux, Chippewa, Una
tilla, Flathead, Creek. Assiniboine,
Blackfeet and Choctaw.
Each and every one was heard
and without exception had q ser
ious complaint against the treat.
ment they had received from the
present personnel of the Indian
Bureau.
