Striking at the
Root Of Government.

1t was never the intention of the
founders of our Government to
have it go into business competi.
ton with its private citizens.
Every time it enters the field of
business it does a lasting damage
TO large numbers of its own peo-
pie and adds double burden on
the taxpayers who must make up
the tax revenue which govern
ment owned enterprises are ex.
empted from paying.
The greatest sufferers from gov
eminent competition at present
are the small publishers and print
ers woo cannot compete with the
tax free government owned print
ing plant which prints and sells
return addressed stamped snvel-
opes. There is much agitation to
discontinue this abuse but at the
same time we see the country
flooded with political propaganda
co launch the government in other
branches of industry. All such
proposals are contrary to the true
spirit of our Constitution.

Creek Tribe Prepares Case Against
Government for Tribal Lands.

The Greek indians of Oklahoma,
have begun preparation of a suit
for $40, 900, 900 against the United
States Government which involves
payments for lands the Creeks
formerly occupied in a number OF
southern states. Suit against the
Government is authorized by a
jurisdictional bill just passed By
Congress.
The most important records are
the treaties between the Greeks
and the federal agents, e. ]. Van
Court, counsel for the Creek In.
dams, asserts. So far as the
searchers have been able to dis
cover, the first treaty between the
Republic and the Indians was in
1870. The Creeks will claim re
endorsement for all lands and
properties held by the tribe since
that time. The tribal council
claims that the Government seldom
has fulfilled any of its treaties
with them properly.
One of the largest claims, it is
expected, will involve lands in
what is now the State of Georgia
These lands we're originally owned
by the Indians and were transfer
red to the Government by treaty.
To many instances the lands were
taken by force, the attorneys will
claim. Where compensation was
involved the amount was not paid
in full in many instances. Com.
pensation for a large section OF
old Indian Territory is also to be
asked.

White Hands in the
Red Mans Pocket.

II yOu saw uduu RlttoEluS
with diamonds and platinum reach
out for q nickel in the pocket of q
ragged, hungry child, what would
you DOB Would you let the owner
of that expensive hand complete
the theft or would you yell at him9
It's silly question. We know
what you would do. Here goes
the yell:
The party with taat bejeweled
hand is none other than our we'll
known Uncle Sam. He is en-.
deavoring to put his hand into the
pocket of the Navajo Indians and
take therefrom the sum of $780,
900. The same Uncle Sam who is
so rich that he is voluntarily re.
ducing his annual revenue by over
$500, 900. 900 is endeavoring to
fitch $106, 900 out of the purse OF
an Indian tribe with an annual
income of less than $500 per fam
lily.
The excuse for the attempted
larceny is the building of a bridge
across the Colorado river in q re.
mote corner of the Navajo reser
walton. Utah and Arizona are
each putting up $4,000. The
federal government agreed to pay
the other half of the cost, but un
der the appropriation bill now be
fore Congress the money is to be
charged against the tribal fund OF
the Navajos, which contain jus,
about this sum.
Utah and Arizona want the
bridge; the Navajos don't. Utah
and Arizona want motor turists to
move through these isolated, un
known parts OF their territory
across the new bridge, the only
one spanning the Colorado for q
distance of 700 miles. Utah and
Arizona will profit by the con.
struction of the bridge; the Nava-
jos won't derive any benefit what.
soever.
One.third of the Navajo popula-
ton has trachoma, the infectious
eve disease leading eventually to
blindness. tuberculosis is in
creasing among them. -Four
thousand of Navajo children are
not in schools. They need many
wells to open up the forage OF
waterless spots for their crowding
fiocks of sheep. They sorely need
many things-but they don't need
bridge across the Colorado
river.
By a vote of 43 to 90 the Senate
last month confirmed the joint re
port of the Senate and House
Conference Committee in the pro.
vision of the deficiency bill which
provides for the construction oil
two bridges in the Navajo Indian
reservation in New Mexico and
Arizona with a cost to the Indians
of 100000.
The vote defeated efforts of the
opposition led by Sam G, Bratton
(D), Senator from New Mexico,
and Ralph H. Cameron (R), Sen
ator from Arizona. TO save the In.
dams from the expense of the
bridge.
The present act provides that
that the Indians must pay half the
cost Of the $4,000 project, and
the Government the other half.
In urging rejection of the meas
ure it was pointed out that the
Navajo Indians are now in debt
$500, 900 and that they now have
only $l1s, 900 in their treasury, SO
that the present assessment will
put the tribe into virtual bank.
