Why Not Close Il Entire|v?.

Uncle Sam has $500 employees
in bis Indian Bureau according to
the ANIMAL reports. -
He spends $13, 1000, 900 annually
to maintain this bureau.
And for what purpose9
!, To keep as wards of the govern.
ment some 1853, 900 Indians.
Yet each year the bureau of
immigration. with only 2,75O em-
ployes, handles more than 500, 900
immigrants, and since the Indian
Bureau was organized the bureau
of naturalization has made Ameri.
can citizens out of more than 15,-
600, 900 of these immigrants.
If one small government bureau
can turn $4,000. aliens into
American citizens, why cannot the
Indian Bureau with . much bigger
force, turn 10000 American, born
Indians into American citizens in
the same length of timea
The reason is, of course, that if
the bureau turned them into citi-
zens, it would work itself out of
a job" The $500 employees of
the Indian Bureau would be out of
work just as sooD as they fitted
their 10000 wards to become
citizens.
The Indian Bureau was created
for the very worthy purpose of
promoting the welfare of the
American Indian. 1t wcs designed
t. guard him against exploitation
by unprincipled white men who
might trade upon the Indians ig
norance of business methods. 1t
was designed to educate the In
dian and teach him the white mans
civilization. And it has served a
useful purpose on the whole.
But its usefulness is ended. 1t
is now little more than an agency
to provide jobs for about $500
individuals and these jobs can be
perpetuated only by obstructing
any real progress by the Indian.
