CITIZENSHIP PLAN By Joseph w. Latimer

We consider it a settled ques- tion that since Congress has de- clared the American Indian a citizen of this country lie is en- titled to all the rights, benf1ts, and duties of any other citizen. Certainly he should now "be re- cognized as an American citi- zen; treated as such; educated as such."
 Fortunately if handled ac- cording to established funda- mental laws, many of these In dian citizens have vast proper ty interests of which they are the benefciaries. This property consists of both real and chattel, and though this has been held for years and is now held by a Government there are fun damental laws in this country which could protect these bene- fciaries on the same principles as other properties are protect ed for beneficiaries. The fun damental question this change involves is in no way complicat- ed, though working out details would involve careful and eX- perienced service. "
 Again, if Congress now votes such vast sums to the Bureau for Indian maintenance, cer- tainly the same policy should be as freely continued when the funds already establish nmleW funds go into already establish ed State departments all con- ducted with equal impartiality to all it's citizens no matter o1 what race or creed.
 i Therefore, as a working basis for fundamental relief for the American Indian from the pres ent control the following plar has been suggested:
 1. Free the Indian at once fro mBureau Wardship of hi person.
 2. Each State through it's al ready established channels un. . der which and in the same man.

ner they now treat their other citizens, but the Indian-to ed ucate, to- guard health, and to police the Indian. Congression- al appropriations "(from Indian funds where treaties permit or from taxes as now now voted annually to the Bureau (and more if needed) to go to the State to cover all cost of fore- going.
 In eases of emergency the Red Cross should be given all power, free from Bureau con- trol, to immediately take charge of the Indian health and life situation
 3. Begin at once with compe- tent heads to untangle the Tn- dian property mess existing in the Bureau, with the view of creating legally, active trustee ships, subject to court review, |of this property, including trib- al fund. These trusts should be created on same fundamental legal basis as other innumerable trusts which now hold property .all over the United States.
 At no time of course, during the above program is the Indian to be inequitably disturbed in the rights, occupancy, and use of any Indian property now by him possessed. .'.'''

NOT so GOOD

Eddte -Morrissey, erst-whife fisheries scientist of Ketchfkan, is quite optomistic as to the. salmon run of this year. He sez{A sez he: Since the opening. of the trap salmon. fishing sea son the catches have been a lit tie better than normal in the Ketchikann district. It. is esti-'' '.'" mated that the Is canneries in F. the Ketchikan district have put up 5O,oOo cases, which con1pares favorably with last year" %st1 crt#a
 The only trouble with this re- port is that last year was one of the greatest failures in thetsel el packing of salmon ever expert .'@i1 enced in Ketchikan. and Alaska in general, ssr ae~:st=*ve2 .-Tf

JUNEAU DEFENDS WORKERS
 COMPENSATION ACT fi

The general superintendent of the AL. Mine at Juneau rose on his hind legs and defended tile Alaska Compensation Act in no uncertain terms. The occasion for said defence being the Hyder Chamber o Commences petition printed elsewhere in this issue.
 Says MT. Metzger Our com pany is for compensation and fair treatment to injured en- ployees and their dependents" ]" He characterizes the Hyder pe- tition as ridiculous" Stating further that the position of the Fydcr Chamber was not sound and apparently based on a lack of information regarding actual conditions. He pointed to the work of the past three Legisla- lures to bring the law to per- .fection.
 One of Poorest On Record
 According to the A. F. of IL. students of workmen's compen- sation laws, the Alaska edition is one of the poorest on the stat. ute books and one of which no state or territory need be proud.
 It was written by attorneys for the Big Mine of Juneau, lob bied through by them and Uncle Joe Murray, the Kennecott re- presentative with a bunch, of circus seals and monkeys all plating "aye" when the boss cracked his whip. Talk about mass voting" and voting en mass" The educated sheep had it all over the ignorant Indian" when it came to being real dumb sheep.
 Naturally, the general super intendent would be proud of his own baby, The trouble with this abortion being an albino or something else less beautiful only the father of it is color blind and otherwise cockeyed and doesn't know his son is a real monstrosity.
 The Hyder Chamber of Com merce is to be commended on it's stand for labor. May other chambers of commerce in Alas ka be as strong to make right that which is wrong.

FIRST IN ELEVEN. YEARS


 l A Negro entered the U. s. Mill itary Academy at West Point last week, the first Negro cadet in eleven years. Inevitably press spotlights focused upon him, Alonzo souleigh Parham, 20, of Chicago appointed by Ne. gro Congressman, Oscar De Priest of Illinois Crime May POI. Erect and alone, Cadet Par ham approached "The Points" vine-clad walls, walked through it's arched entrance 1ugging a suitcase, wearing dark suit, a grey cap. With 385 other cadets he presented himself at head quarters for the routine of en- rollment.. On his registration blank under Fathers Occupa- tion" he wrote: Nothing spe- cial." He took bath, was given a close haircut, his undress uni form. His room was a single one In south barracks. On the basis of height he was assigned to the Second Company where he got a place in the front rank. Late the first afternoon with other new cadets on the parade grounds he took his oath of all |1egiance to the U. s. N
 No f1utter in the routine did West Points officers permit Ca det Parham's presence cause. Warned Major General William Ruthven Smith, Academy Su- perintendent, There will be no distinction made eitheir official ly or unofflcially. Mir. Parham is here by law. If any cadet thinks the white race is a su- perior race, he can go ahead and prove it.
 Haywood Broun, New York Telegram colyumist, commented This young Negro. :. will be called upon to exercise as high 2 degree of courage as any hier who ever crossed the ocean"
 Prior to Cadet Parham in West Points. history, many a Ne gro had applied for admission. Twelve got in, three were gradu- ated as second~ Ieutenants. The last, Negro Cadet was James B. Alexander. of Ohio who entered in 1918, resigned :. ofter six months. The cost to the U.: S. of making an Army officer of each West Point cadet, white or black, is $19,989.-TIME.
