tlon for investigator.
milwaukee Journal


Grave accusations against the
present administration of the IN
dian Bureau were contained 10 q
resolution introduced 10 the House
the fore part of this month by
Representative James Freor, Wis
consin, seeking an investigation by
a congressional committee into
the charges of neglect, dissipa.
ton of funds, improper treatment
and misgovernment of American
Indians" that may be brought, to
its attention. -.,,.. .
The Frear resolution recites
that through 70 years of bureau
cratic guardianship, the Indian has
been held by the Indian Bureau in
a hopeless, un-American and IN.
ambitious position, with 240. 600
or two-thirds of all Indians kept
by the Indian Bureau in a restrict
ed condition and declared by it
incompetent to own or manage
property; this status being deter
mined by the Indian Bureau itself
without the right to court review. y
Special mention is made Of In.
dian Commissioner Burke and
Assistant Commissioner Merritt,
who the resolution states, "exsr-
else practically unlimited control
over Indian property estimated at
81, 800, 900, 0,O0O." According to
Mr.. Frear, the Indian Bureau
has consistently, through. admin,
istrative usurpation and through a
ceaseless persuasion of Congress,
increased its power as a means of
politically perpetuating itself in
more than 5000 salaried positions
paid for by the taxpayers aud the
Indians without the Indians con-
sent" @.... =.
One of the "whereases" charges
that the Bureau has neglected the
health Of its Indian wards, result
ing in shocking conditions" on
reservations that menace" the
pvblic health of the surrounding
states.
The accusation is made that the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
has advocated laws that have re.
quired, and will require, the In.
dians to give unjust oil leases
reaching many million dollars, and
unwarranted favors to oil pro-
ducers and spectators including
payment by the Indians of the
white producers and SPECTATORS
tax, and further has failed and re-
fused to protect the Indians pro-
perty, but on the contrary, in re.
peated cases involving enormous
results, has favored legislation
designed to cancel and confiscate
Indian property rights and to re
move the legal protection to which
the Indians, as wards of the nation.

Important Events Ia Chippewa Matters
Transplre at Washington During
Past Week.

Important events in Chippewa
matters have transpired at Wash
ington during the last two weeks
The Supreme Court of the United
States rendered it's decision in the
case brought by the United States
on behalf of the Chippewa Indians
against the State of Minnesota to
recover back approximately 1861
600 acres of valuable lands patent
ed to the State under the National
Swamp Land Act, and to cancel
applications of the State for large
body of similar lands for which
patents have not yet been issued.
The decision of the court was
against the Indians and in favor of
the State of Minnesota. In view
of this decision it is exceedingly
unfortunate that the Department
of the Interior lid not permit the
Chippewa Indians to employ their
own attorney and be properly rep
resented in the case. The only
chance the Indians now have to
recover is a suit against the United
States. Their chances of recovery
in such suit have been mipimized
by the decision of the court in the
suit just decided, and it will now
be far more difficult to recover
from the United States.
The jurisdictional bill, author
izing the Chippewa Indians to
prosecute all their claims arising
under or growing out of the Act
of 1889 and the agreements entered
into therernder has passed the
House. At q meeting on Wed
nesday, March 10th, of the Senate
Indian Committee the House bill
was taken up for consideration,
At the request of Ed. Rogers and
other leading members of the
tribe Senator Schall offered an
amendment to the bill with refer
ence to the fee provision. The
bill as it passed the House pro.
vided for compensation to the two
attorneys or firms of attorneys of
$4,000 each for a period of FIVE
years. 1t then provided that at
the conclusion of the litigation the
court might in its discretion after
considering the value, extent and
character of the services rendered
allow the attorneys additional
compensation not exceeding FIVE
per centum of the amount recov.
cred, and that the additional al
lowance for both attorneys should
not exceed $40, ,OO0. Senator Schall
at the request of Ed. Rogers, Mr..
Ballinger, and others moved to
strike out the limitation of $40, 900
and to substitute therefor a pro-
vision whereby the attorneys at
the conclusion of the litigation
might, in the discretion of the
court receive compensation, in
cluding all they had received in
salaries, an nmount not exceeding
five per centum of the total
amout recovered. Senator Schall
explained that under section 2 Of
the bill the Indians had five years
in which to fla all their suits, and
yet the attorneys were only to re
ceive compensation for q period of
five years. He pointed out that it
was obvious that the suits last
fileo could not be prosecuted to
conclusion within the FIVE year
period and that it would bs neces
sary for the attorneys to complete
the work on contigent basis. He

further pointed out that with the
Limitation of $4,000 it might be
difficult for the Indians to obtain
the services of competent ard able
! attorneys. He stated that the
-court could safely be trusted tu
allow the attorneys additional
compensation within the Limitation
of five per cent, particularly when
the five per cent was to include all
that had been heretofofe paid them.
James L. Coffey opposed the
amendment. He told the Commit.
tee that he, represented the Chip
pewa Indians Of Minnesota and
requested a postponement of action
on the bill until Congressman
Knutson could be present, stating
that Congressman Knutson was
opposed to the amendment. Chair.
man Harreld then called the at
tention OF the Committee to q
telegram from Ex.Congressman
Halvor Steenerson who desired
some amendment to the bill. Mr..
Steenerson requested a postpone
ment until the 18th of March.
After some discussion the entire
matter went over until March 18th.
The Chippewa people should make
known to the Committees of Con-
gress that James l. Coffey does
not represent the Indians or any
part of them, that he speaks only
for himself. -.--..-.. Cd, ...,.sey.,... ...-

Commissioners Burke has been
i'll for the last two weeks, and the
indications are that he will be con
fined to his home for sometime to
come. This has seriously delayed
consideration of the classification
bill by the. Committees of Congress.
On account of Mr.. Burke's illness
a final agreement has not yet been
reached between Webster Balm
ger and the Department. Mr..
Burke is personally handling all
Chippewa matters. He has evil
denced sincere desire to assist
the Indians in adjusting all of their
matters with the Government. 1t
is doubtful whether anything can
be done on the classification bill
until Mr.. Burke is able to return
to his Office.
