|. F. PAUL DISCUSSES IMPORTANCE
 WHEELER-HOWARD ACT TO INDIANS
Resources Wasted


 1 This law was the result of the l findings of the subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs which had made a very comprehen- siye investigation of the conduct of the several reservations. Indian prop critics, moneys and resources. The Indian agents were judge, jury, prosecuting attorneys and guardians of the Indians at the same time. In- dian resources and wealth had been wasted through criminal negligence
 aI even by thieyeTy with the con niyance of the guardians. The most notorious case being the Jackson Barnett ease wherein Commissioner Burke gave $75O.OO0 of this mans wealth to the Baptist Church and an equal amount to a notorious woman with whom he had gone through some sort of a marriage ceremony.
 For long years the Indian Depart ment has been as a barnacle on the bottom of the Indian ship of life. having the care and custody and ed satiOn of these people More money was spent in the past hundred years, per capita. for Indian education; more school buildings put up in pro portion to population than was pro vided by several states for citi- zen children, with little if any inn provement in the assimilation of modern civilization. Incompetent agents had control over lands and resources of Indians who were com petent as has been demonstrated time and time again, to administer their own affairs Lands were sold or leased for nominal sums without the consent of the owners. The In- dian Bureau grew from a few hun-' dred employees and a few hundred thousands of dollars appropriation until it had a roster of over 15,00O employees and an ap-. of over $30,OOO 0O0 an. nually. At the same time the wealth and resources under the management had decreased and there seemed only a sad end to the so-called Indian Problem. "
 Purpose of Act
 The purpose of the Wheeler-H How ard Act was to place control of In- dian affairs in the hands of elected Indians through organization of bus mess corporations. Credit established from a $1O,OOO,OOO revolving fund to permit agricultural or industrial effort and employment. When obli- cations to the government had been epaid, the corporation could by vote fe divorced from any bureaucratic eonnection. Through this Indian
 organization Act" would come the nd of the domination of this bureau aver the Indian.

man, there was less opposition to it
than ever before. 1t has only Teen
since the commission was reorganized
during the administration of former
Governor o. Max Gardner on a
Statewide basis and the district sys-
tenn abandoned, that an increased a.
mount of dissatisfaction has develop
ed. One reason for this is because all
those wanting roads or having COM
plants had to come to Raleigh to
appear before the entire commission.
Formerly they took their troubles to
their district commissioner and it was
only when he could not handle the
matters presented that they were
brought before the entire body.
Most observers here think the re-
organization will help rather than
hurt Waynick's chances of being re-
appointed as chairman of the COM
mission.

Raleigh, Jan. 8.-The recommends
ton for the reorganization of the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission on district itasis and
it's enlargement to ten members, in
Guiding the chairman, is regarded by
a good many observers as being a
compromise move on the part of Gov
ernor Clyde r. Hoey to placate the
enemies Of the present highway set
up without sacrificing Chairman
Capus M. Waynick. The anti-Way-
nick faction however believe that if
and when the reorganization is per-
fected, it will exclude Waynick as
well as most of the present members
of the commission. Friends of Way
nick, however, maintain that the pre-
sent plan of organization, with only
five commissioners, and with no dis
tricts, is largely responsible for the
dissatisfaction with the chairman,
since he becomes the focal point for
all dissatisfaction, whether it is his
fault or the commission.
Would Remove Opposition.
If the highway commission is en-
larged to ten members, as Governor
Hoey advocated with nine members
to be selected from nine administra-
tive districts and the chairman to be
selected from the State at large as
general administrative and executive
officer, much of the present opposi-
ton to and dislike for the commits
sion will be eliminated, many obser-
vers here believe. They point out that
when the highway commission was on
a district basis, as it was under Gov

vious wet-dry elections should be con-
sidered as lainding Now the same peo-
pie who so vigorously fought against
a referendum are the very loudest in
calling for one. the controllers declare
Three Legislative Views.
Representative Hobbs said the pre-
sent legislature is composed of three
general groups as regards the liquor
ouestion-those who want State con-
troll with a large share of the profits
going to the central government,
those who want county control as is
now effective in seventeen counties
and those who are opposed to any sort
of control and who cling to the belief
that prohibition is the best method
of handling the question.
"There is majority in favor of
some sort Of CONTROL" he said, "and
the only danger is that State and
county controllers may not be able to
unite against those who are still like
ostriches and think that the best way
to get rid Of the liquor question is
to stick our heads in the sand and
forget it."
Representative Cooper praised Gov
ernor Hoey for his general ability and
policies, but reiterated his opposition
to the views he entertains about
liquor.

the finest men I have ever had the
