To Remain In Republic
(Ry Dispatch A. P. Wire

MEXICO CITY, April 16.-The Right
Rev. George j. Garuana, apostolic
delegate to Mexico and the Antille,
who's been in Mexico only a short
time, apparently has successfully
passed the danger of being requested
by the government to leave the coun-
try In conformity with sum-
mons from the department of the
interior, Archbishop Caruana, who is
an American citizen, exhibited his
passport and other documentary proof
that he entered Mexico lawfully un-
der his own name, and had insisted
all along that the Mexican govern
ment was considering deporting the
archbishop upon grounds of alleged
improper entry into the country
without accurately identifying him
self to the immigration officials He
has taken the position that he was
not obliged to prove his innocence
but that he was willing to do so.
1t is semi-officially indicated that
the government was satisfied with
documents produced by the arch
bishop The Catholic newspaper, ID
Pals, goes so far as to state thai
officials of the department of interior

INDIAN
OFFICERS WILL
JAIL RIOTERS

KLAMATH sFALLS, Ore, April 16.-
Indians on the klamath reservation
who have been on drunken ram
page, were placed within the law of
arrest again tonight. The United
States attorney at Portland, Ore, sent
word to the United States commits
sioner here to order the arrest Of all
Indians who have been defying civil
authorities on the reservation. The
order makes no provision for enlist
ing the Naid of state, county or city
officers, in making arrests, but
charges the Indian service with the
duty of arresting and hailing offend
ers before the commissioner.
The new order is compromise to
appease citizens who appealed to
Washington against a recent decision
of a federal judge at Portland which
held that Indians as wards of the
federal government are immune from
arrest, under treaty provisions, Dis.
trict Attorney Elliott here was adj
vised tonight to appeal from the fed
eraI district court decision.
The situation is aggravated by the
fact that many of the drunken In
Q1anS nave mucn new money, nav
ing recently been paid an aggregate
of $26O,000 for their timber on the
reservation.
other Indians range large herds of
stock in the hills, supplementing their
income from timber sales.
Many are in the habit of leaving
the reservation Z to spend Saturday
night in Chiloquin, the reservation
center.
Affairs are expected to come to a
head tomorrow night when the In
dams gather.
Even in the old days when the In
dams were under the restraining COM
mand of klamath county peace Of
| ficers, shooting of dance hall lights
and other manifestations of exuber-
| ance were common.

CAMERON'S [. BILL
ON CEDING LAND
RIGHT TO STATE

Senator Ralph H, Cameron of Ari-
zona has introduced bill in the SEN
ate which will arouse nationwide at
tention and interest. The measure
provides that the United States gov
ernment shall cede to the various
states wherein they lie, all of the un-
reserved public lands held in federal
ownership.
Present established rights in the
public lands acquired by individuals
under various styles of locations would
be recognized and protected under the
terms of the bill. Provision is made
that individua.s or corporations who
have filed on public lands through
the homestead law, by mineral loca-
ton, oil lease, grazing act, etc., will
be allowed to complete their titles un-
der the procedure already begun.
The forest, Indian, park and other
reservations would inoty be effected.
They would remain under. federal own
ership and supervision as at present.
In short the only lands which would
Re transferred to the states, sh luld
the measure become y Jaw, are includ-
cd in the so-called unappropriatedr pub
lie domain There are millions of
acres Of such areas within Arizona
For several years there has been a
growing sentiment in the public lands
states of the west that the time has
arrived when the unappropriated pub
lie domain held by the Washington
government should be turned over to
the states. Ihe states3effected by the
passage of the Cameron bill practical
ly all lie west of the Missouri river.
They include the Rocky Mountain and
Pacific sections of the country.
Long ago the federal government
retired as a bag holding landlord in
the eastern and middle western states.
Those sections of America have pros
pered greatly as result of the lands
passing into individual ownership The
lands within their boundaries long
have been on the tax rolls and open
to private development.
Paternalism and bureaucracy have

piled. They have served to stunt and

Right Honorable Philip Snowden
Member of Parliament. challenging
world domination by white people.
and asserting that the idea of white

ed. He writes in part:
The old idea of the right of a

and with a more advanced economic
development to dominate the rest, Of

The constitution of the League Of

of that fact Regardless of color,

'If 1T were sougM tn maintain
the domination of the white races
