separate native and corporation

The meat of the reindeer is a

It must be put on the market at

always have a surplus Let him
sell it to the highest bidder, and
let the Government give him a

The native has not been beg

has been from the Corporation.
All that was asked in the first
place was the right to his pro-

Committee.
Where is the native to get
justice in this matter? How will
he get his deer? How will he
get his lands? What did the
Council do toward it? How can
he get settlement for the
years he has been deprived of
his property?
It appears that the herds are
to be divided into UNITS or
districts, five i'll number, and
there are five Lomen herds,
these Units arc to be supervised
or managed by an officer of the
Government, paid by the Gov
eminent. Thus the Government
will provide the management of
the Lomen herds and save them
that overhead. Will this be
charged to the appropriation
for the benefit of the native?
If SO, why so? They have had a
Lapp overseer and superin-
tendent at their five herds. The
Lapp overseer in some cases
received $4,000 per year. Super
intendent's salary unknown.
This arrangement would relieve
the Lomen Corporation of much
expense and would be from what
appropriation?
The Lomen Corporation seem
to want control all the native
product, and on a commission
basis. Nearly all the meat ship

Assessors Favor
Taxing Homes Of
State Veterans

SACRAMENTO, April 2. (U.H -
Homes and farms of California war
veterans, now exempt from taxa
ton, would be returned to the as
Sessment rolls for taxation at the
same rate of other property, under
plans of the California County As
SCISSORS association, meeting here to-
day.
The proposal was offered pre-
liminary to a joint session with
the state board of equalization,
veterans representatives, and the
members of the veterans welfare
board. Such a move would place
between $40,0O0,0o0 and $50,000,000
back on depleted assessment rolls,
it was declared.
The assessors resolution called
on the state legislature to determine
a permanent basis for assessing vet
erans' homes, with full assessment
being made in the meantime.
Assessment of veterans homes
has been a controversy for several
years, and legality of the assessors
proposal will probaDSy be contested.
1t has been contended that since
title to the properties being bought
on 20-year contracts remain with
the state, the value representing
the unpaid balance cannot be taxed.
