80 Per Cent Improved
Is year ago the prediction was
made from Lincoln highway head
quarters that construction plans
for 1925 would permit the announce
naent at the end of the year that
the Lincoln way was 80 per cent
improved from coast to coast. This
prediction has been fulfilled.
OF the total distance, 8, 142 miles,
Hudson river to San Francisco bay,
less than 10 per cent now remains
unimproved-ay paltry 500 miles
along this whole magnificent sweep
OF connecting highway. 1t is pos
stble now to say that the end OF
1926 should find less than 100 miles
Of Lincoln way between the two
coasts unimproved with some type
Of construction adequate for the
existing traffic volume.
That does not mean that the
Lincoln highway will be completed

In the passage of the Chippe wa

therein contained authorizing the
Indians of the White Earth Reser-
vation, by council. to select a CON.
mittee of FIVE of their members,
whose duty it will be to select an
attorney or firm of Attorneys to
prosecute the Chippewa claims,
considerable rumor is about as to
whom the White Earth Indians
will finally select. Several firms
of attorneys have already made it
appear that they will seek the en-
dorsement of the Indians, and no
doubt there will be others in the
field before the council is called.
There has also been a false
rumor circulated in some quarters,
that in the event the Indian finally
decide to employ their good friend
Webster Ballanger to represent
them, the Indian Office will not
approve or recognize his selection.
This is propaganda, pure and
simple, and absolutely false, and

SUBSCRIPTIONS: si.5e PER YEAR II ADVANCE
The JurisdjctionaI Bill
Washington, D. G.
May 1, 1926.
Editor, The ToMAHAwK,

oSop'SoShs -
May 1, 1926.
Editor, The ToMAHAwK,
In reply to your request for a
statement relative to the Chippewa
Jurisdictional Bill under which the
Chippewa Indians are authorized
to prosecute all their claims against
the United States arising under or
growing out of the Act of January
IA, 1889, l take pleasure in sub
hitting the following statement:
The bill has been agreed to in
conference and the conference re
port has been adopted by both the
House and Senate. The bill will now
go to the President for approval.
With the exception of one pro.
vision in the bill l look upon it as
one of the best jurisdictional bill
enacted by Congress in recent
years. 1t has been the subject of
many conferences and has been
minutely scrutinized by the Senate
and House Committee on In1ian
Affairs. 1t was designed and in,
tended, and does in fact, open the
Courts of Claims to the Chippewa
Indians 50 that they can now secure
q judicial determination ofall their
claims against the United States
arising under the Act of January
IA. 1889.
The only provision IN the bill
which / look upon as unfair to the
Indians is the provision with refer
ence to the payment of additional
compensation to the attorneys.
This is found in section 7. As the
bill passed the House, section 7
provided that each of the two
attorneys to be employed should
receive annual compensation at the
rate of $4,000 per annum for q
period not exceeding five years,
and then authorized the Court of
Claims at the conclusion of the
litigation to allow the attorneys
additional compensation for their
services not exceeding five per
cent of the amount recovered and
in no event should the courts allow
as additional compensation more
than $4,000. When the bill went
to the Senate, Senator Schall offer
ed an amendment which required
the Court Of Claims in computing
the FIVE per cent additional com.
pensation to be allowed to take in
to consideration the total salaries
: heretofore paid the two attorneys,
and stricking off the limitation of
$4,000 Senator Schsll's amend
ment was adopted by the Senate
When the bill went to conference
/ appeared before the Conference
Committee and urged the adoption
of Senator Schall's amendment
The reasons assigned by me for
the adoption OF the SchalI amend
ment were submitted in writing
and were as follows:
THE intelligent Chippews In
dians ask the adoption of the Sem
ates Amendment to section Z Of
H. r. 178. The reason for so do
ing are:
'Under the HOUSE PRO
VISION the two attorneys will
receive 100000 in salaries, and at
the conclusion of the litigation, if
Is much as 100000 is recovered,
the court could allow the maximum
additional compensation of$4 0,00O
in fees, thus making a total of
100000 10 salaries and fees for

ed attorneys that were exorbitant
and had resulted in scandal. He
stated that as. a member of the
Senate Indian Committee he did
not want to see any legislation
enacted under which il was posi-
BILE for cxorbitant fee to be allow
ed in the future.
The House Conferees insisted
upon the House provisions, and
the Senate Conferees. yielded aud
the House provision was adopted.
look upon this provision in the
bill as unwise and unfair to the
Chippewa people. 1t will permit
the courts to allow the attorneys
the maximum compensation for Q
minimum recovery. 1t puts the
InGians at a disadvantage with the
United States, in that the United
States may expend 100000 or
even a 81, 900, 900 in obtaining the
best legal talent money can pur.
chase with which TO defend the
suite, while the Indsans are limited
to the expenditure of 100000.
If honestly and vigorously pro-
secuted the litigation cannot be
completed within five years and
maximum recoveries made for the
Indians. | look upon che policy
of limiting the compensation the
Indians can pay their attorneys
and The United States carte blanc
to use any amount of money WITH
which to employ tho ablest attor-
neys it may see fit to employ, as
fundamentally wrong. If limi-
tation is to be placed upon the
compensation the Indians can pay
their attorneys then a like limi-
tation should be placed upon the
amount the United States can
expend on legal talent to defend
the suits.
After nearly thirty years of
effort the Chippewa people have,
finally obtained access to the Court
of claims where they can obtain ali
accounting, from the Federal Go
vernement for the administration
of their Estate under the Act of
January IA, 1889. Under the bill
the Indians on the White Earth
Reservation will be permitted to
select a committee composed of
live members. The Indians off
the White Earth Reservation will
be permitted to select a like com,
mittee. Each committee will in
turn be permitted to select an
attorney to represent the Indians
in their prosecution of their claims.
After the long years spent in an
endeavor TO secure access to the
court in order to obtain an account
ing from their guardian, the Unit.
Led States, / sincerely trust that
the Chippewa people will act wise
~ and select intelligent, capable
representatives on each committee,
and that the two committees when
selected will employ the best legal
talent they can abtain within the
limits Of the amount they can pay
for the services to be rendered
Much will depend upon the charac
ter and the ability of the attorneys
to be employed. The matter is
now in the hands OF the Chippewa
people If they act wisely sub.
stantial recoveries will be made
which will enure to the benefit of
them and their children. If they
act unwisely thirty years Of effort
have been wasted and the Chippewa
people and their children will
suffer the penalty for their folly,

per cent of the amount recovered.
Under the SENATE AMEND
MENT the attorneys could receive
nothing in addition to the salaries
unless the recovery exceeded
81, 200, 900, and the maximum ad
citional compensation that could
be allowed would be 5 per cent on
the recovery in excess of 81. 200,
900.
Under the H 0 U S E PRO
VISION if the judgments entered
in the Court of Claims aggregate
$800,000 the court could allow the
attorneys the maximum additional
fee $4,000. If the judgement Of
the Court of Claims could be
quadrupled by appeal to the Su
preme Court of the United States
there would be no inducement to
the attorneys to prosecute the ap.
peals.
Under the SENATE AMEND
MENT no additional fees could be
allowed the attorneys unless the
total recoveries exceeded 81, ,2OO,-

of increasing the judgm ent of the
Court of Claims by appeals to the
Supreme Court of the United
States q sufficient inducement is
offered to justify The attorneys in
prosecuting the appeal

Under the SENATE AMEND
MENT there il sufficient induce

much as 8 to 10 years. -..-, =
No limitation is placed upon the
United States in the amount of
money it can expend for legal ia
lent in the defense of the suits.
The combined salaries of the
Government attorneys assigned to
the work and the salaries of their
superior officers while actually en-
gagged in supervising the defense
of tie suits will aggregate pro-
badly $4,000 per annum. Under
the HOUSE PROVISIONS the
MAXIMUM salaries and fees that
can be paid the Attorneys repre-
senting the Indians is 500, 900.

surely it can be trusted to fix the
fees of the attorneys within the
