have hoped to do, but We have &C.
complained much.
Life Rich Drama.
As q result Of the new policies
Indian life in these recent years
has become rich and intense
drama. The striving Of the will Of
individuals and Of tribes is the NOV
ing force In this drama. Indians
have turned from anticipated death
to anticipated life, from fatalism to
action. from inferiority to healthful
pride. Most important Of all, they
have turned from believing and ac-
cepting that the Government had
the first and last word, to believing
and asserting that they, the In
dians, have had the first and last
word. Thousands of Indians now
are consciously aware that prosper
ity and greatness can come to them,
but only through the things they
themselves may do.
With the facilities and stimulus
provided under the Indian Reorgan-
ization Act of 1894 and supplement
tary legislation for Oklahoma and
Alaska, Indians and Eskimos are
developing surprising capacities as
businessmen.
Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico has
furnished an example. Four years
ago the Pueblo's range was largely
leased to whites. Drought relief
cattle were supplied the Isletas. An
Indian cattle trusteeship was set up.
In three years the Pueblo had nqui-
dated the whole of its debt to the
Government and was owner Of a
herd, and Of cash derived from sales
representing SIS, 1000.
Another joint effort undertaken
by the Indians is the Lyons Co.
operative Association in Oklahoma.
A number of fullblood Cherokee
Indians living In the hilly eastern
part of Oklahoma, where the land
is poorly adapted to general agricul-
ture, banded together for the pro-
duction of Strawberries. An Indian
supervised the work. A loan of
$4,000 was obtained to clear land
and purchase plants. After two
years work the first crop was sold
last spring for $1,000. A payment
was made on the loan and the
balance was distributed to members
on the basis of their participation
in the activity.
Other Enterprises.
Examples Of cooperative and
corporate Indian enterprises are
numerous. A salmon cannery has
been built in Alaska, q tourist cabin
enterprise is being operated in Wis
consin, a community dairy and
farm are being conducted in Cali
fornia, an oyster culture enterprise
in Washington. and municipal
water project in the Pacific North
west.
Several Indian tribal corporations
are producing on tribal lands the
hay which they need badly, partic-
ularly on Northern reservations.
Such hay enterprise Is conducted
by the Fort McDermitt Paiute and

tions Of Indians. People want to
know where the Indians are living.
Today about 28 per cent Of the
Indians in the United States are
In Oklahoma. Removed there from
the Southeastern States by the Fed
eral Government before the Civil
War, these five civilized tribes
Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws,
Creeks and Seminoles- just now
emerging from the long twilight
brought on by the smashing of their
tribal holdings. Except for few,
made accidentally wealthy by oil
discovered on their land, these In
dians live at low economic ebb.
Back in the hills many fullbloods
cling to their ancient ways. Else
where the five tribes are admixed
much with the white population. In
Western Oklahoma the lot of the
Indian has been a little happier.
In the Southwest, particularly Ari-
zona and New Mexico, are the vii
lage dwellers - the Rio Grande
Pueblos, the Hopis and the Zunis-
living mainly by agriculture and
growing their crops by irrigation,
as do the Pimas in South Arizona.
Here also are Papagos and Navajo
the latter the largest homogeneous
group Of all and in some respects
the most perilously situated at this
moment. The Navajos are sheep
raisers and the Papagos are cattle
raisers, both tribes leading a semi
nomadic life on the deserts of Ari-
zona and New Mexico. Among these
Indians of the Southwest, almost all
OF whom are fullbloods, the eco-
nomic basis of existence has not
been destroyed by the coming of
the whites, or else new means Of
existence have been found not in
consistent with their own culture.
With the Navajos. however, drought
and soil erosion bring dire peril to
the economy and the culture Of this
great people. We are doing much
to hold back this calamity and we
hope for the best.
OF the Indians Of the North Gen.
tral region, including Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana, the most numerous groups
are the Chippewas and the Sioux.
Over much of this area the impact
Of white civilization has almost, If
not completely, destroyed the earlier
Indian ways Of living, including
their tribal governments. White
men have long been among these
Indians and have used much Of the
land and resources in the white
mans way.
Indians in Northwest.
Indians of the Northwest-W Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho-depend
largely on fishing, hunting and agri-
culture. Assimilation of Indians in
the white population has made con-
siderable headway in many parts Of
this section.
In Nevada and California Indians
are widely scattered and live for the
most part in small settlements and
rancherias. Here, as in Oklahoma
and the Great Lakes States, the
effect Of white domination has been
the most damaging and irreparable.
I told you a few moments ago that
since 1928 Indian population has

land was purchased with funds pro-
vided under the Indian Reorganiza-
ton Ac.. The farm Is operated on
q community basis, every family
sharing In the proceeds In propor-
tion to the services rendered. After
three years cattle owned by indi-
vidual Indians on this reservation
increased from 400 to 400 head.
A store is operated by the Jicarilla
Apache Indians IN New Mexico.
Eighty-five thousand dollars was
loaned for the purchase and opera
ton. The economic life Of these
Indians centers around sheep. The
store supplies credit to carry the
members through the year and
markets the lambs and wool for
them. From November 1, 1887, to
December 81. 1898, sales Of over
tl35, 900 had been made. The enter
prise was operated very conserva-
lively, overhead expenses being kept
down to 81 per cent and the stock
turned approximately 81 times. A
per capita distribution of profits Of
over $500 and . patronage dis
tribution Of over $2,500 were made to
members Of the corporation. A pay
ment on the loan of $500 plus
carrying charges was made to the
United States.
These Jicarilla Apaches Is recently
as four years ago were considered
= backward people.
Wider Markets Found.
Indian handicraft, in some areas
thought to be a thing of the past,
has been. with the help of the
Indian Arts and Crafts Board, re-
vived and transformed into pur.
suits at once cuIturally and eco
nomically beneficial.
Since sthe boards inception, It
has searched and found wider
markets for Indian products, pro-
vided standards Of excellence and
has interested the public in we'll
made authentic products. The
board has worked with the producer
for improvement Of production, has
established standards and Govern
ment labels to protect the genuine
and has conducted exhibits, dis
plays and prepared publications for
creating public appreciation of the
beauty and usefulness of Indian
art objects.
Besides improving Indian natural
resources and earning power the
Indian Service focuses upon the
home, family and community life
of the Indians, to improve their
standards Of living, to combat sick
ness and disease and to help make
possible a healthful and rich cul-
tural expression.
Not all the problems have been
solved.
There remains to be accomplished
far more than we have been able
to do. All of you who hear me
tonight will be instrumental in
determining the methods by which
these things will be done.
The thing that we have started
to do, and with your help, have
continued to do, Is to help the
Indian work out his own destiny
We have helped him to retain and
to rebuild the richness of his own
national life and in doing this we
think We have vastly enriched the
national life, the national heritage
and the national honor Of 100000
900 Americans. This is the way
the democracy of the United States
is solving the minority problem of
its first Americans.

vancement. Now I tell you that It
was In 1928 that the American public
witnessed and indeed brought about
the sharpest advance In it, handling
Of this Indian situation. It was In
that year that there was made pub
lie the findings Of the so-called
Merriam report, . study made by .
committee headed by DR.. Lewis
Merriam and made under the Insti-
tute Of Government Research. The
facts there presented, many Of them
long known to close friends Of the
Indian, brought to the American
public . profound sense Of shock.
And 1t was at this point that the
forces Of democracy began to swing
into effective action. There was
nothing politically partisan about
this action. It was q matter Of ma
tional honor and Of national hu-
manity.
The United States Senate, COM
menacing in 1928, held long and ex-
plosive series Of public hearings
which heralded some Of the reforms
to come.
In 1929 there were appointed a.
heads Of the Once of Indian
Affairs, two outstanding men, Mr..
Charles j. Rhoades as commissioner
and Mr. Henry Scattergood as
assistant commissioner. In their
four years Of service they laid the
groundwork for some of the changes
that were later to come.
Beginning In 1888, under Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Of the
Interior Harold Ickes, two longtime
friends of the American Indian, the
American people, having learned the
facts Of the Indian minority situa-
ton, issued to the Indians a new
charter for a long and a better life.
Hit Autocratic Rule.
President Roosevelt, in urging the
enactment of the Indian Reorgan-
ization Act Of 1894, the basic law
upon which Indian reform is
founded, made this comment: /:
Certainly the continuance Of
autocratic rule, by q Federal depart
ment, over the lives Of more than
200, 900 citizens Of this Nation is in
compatible with American ideals Of
liberty. It also is destructive of the
character and self-respect Of .
great race"
The program adopted in 1888
aimed to do these things:
To move the Indian toward eco
nomic self-support, which includes
furnishing land for subsistence to
landless groups; furnishing agricul-
tural credit and opportunities for
chronological training to Indians
and assisting the development Of
the cooperative movement among
Indians.
To speed up the final settlement
Of Indian tribal claims against the
Government.
To establish civil liberty. includ-
ing group and cultural liberty,
within q framework of continuing
Federal protection and assistance.
To establish conservation, through
intelligent use by the Indians them
selves, with Government aid, of all
Indian-owned natural resources.
Indian land resources had become
dangerously deteriorated through
misuse in the recent decades.
Affirmatively to seek the conserva-
ton of the Indian social heritage
or culture through finding ways to
help it interact with the general
life, in matters economic, political
and esthetic. This includes as one
element the protection of Indian
ceremonial life; as another, the
protection and reinvigoration of
Indian arts and crafts; as another,
the discovery and utilization, in

Judicial Decisions

The tax immunities hereto
fore accorded to private income
derived from government securi-
ties or government employment
are not inexorable requirements
of the Constitution, but are the
result of judicial decision. I re-
peat that it is not unreasonable
to hope that judicial decision
would permit elimination of
these immunities.
Decision of the Supreme
Court rendered since my mes
sage, particularly the decision
in the Port Of New York AL
thority case, have made an i'm.
portant and constructive con-
tribution to the elimination Of
these inequitable immunities.
1t is obvious, however, that
these inequities can not be sat-
iSfactorily corrected by judicial
decisions alone. Without legisla-
ton to supplement them, many
individuals and corporations will
be subjected to tax liabilities for
income received in past years
which they mistakenly but in
good faith believed to be tax
exempt.

ANDREWS ASKS
PAY-HOUR LAW
Be SIMPL|F|ED
Seeks Ruling on Area
of Production

Q.N.S0. The wages and hours
law should be simplified, Admin
strator Elmer F. Andrews told q
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee in hearings released today.
Andrews also asked for a Con.
gressional definition Of AREA pro-
duction." Under the law of fruit,
vegetables and similar articles
within the AREA of production"
is exempt from provisions Of the
act. Interpretation of this pro-
vision has aroused much dis
sension among Gamers.
PRINCIPLES HELD SOUND
II think I would like to sit
down and talk with the labor
committees, because I think
that first in Importance Is that
the law be amended for simplifi-
cation, but I do not think that
the basic principles should be
changed" said Andrews.
The administrator suggested
that employers be protected
against penalties for violating the
law if he has been given an ad-
visory opinion that they do not
come under its terms. While he
now gives advisory opinion, he
said, employers have no protection
against a possible adverse court
ruling.
Predicting that half the States
will enact wages and hours laws
this winter, Andrews said this
would simplify the problem of Dor.
der-line cases.
The House subcommittee was
given estimates that 1874, 900 peo.
pie were directly affected by the
law.
The Washington times., 1939-01-19

To the Congress of the United
States:
In my message of April 25,
1898, urged that the time had
come when the Congress should
exercise its constitutional power
to tax incomes from whatever
source derived. urged that the
time had come when private in
comes should not be exempt
either from Federal or State in
come tax simply because such
private income is derived as in
terest from Federal, State or
municipal obligations or because
it is received as compensation
for services rendered to the Fed
eral, State or municipal govern
mentS.
A fair and effective progress
sive income tax and a huge per-
petual reserve of tax-exempt
bonds could not exist side by
side. Those who earn their
livelihood from government
should bear the same tax bur-
dens as those who earn their
livelihood in private employ
ment.
The Washington times., 1939-01-19
In Interest of Justice

1t is evident, for example, that
employees of many State agencies
as we'll as the holders of Securi-
ties of public corporations be-
lieved that the income they re.
ceived from such sources was
eax-exempt, in view of the opin-
ions of eminent counsel based
upon earlier decisions Of the
Supreme Court.
In the interest of equity and
justice. therefore, immediate
legislation is required to pre-
vent recent judicial decisions
from operating in such a retro
active fashion as to impose tax
liability on these innocent en-
ployes and investors for salaries
heretofore earned, or on income
The Washington times., 1939-01-19
Great Hordships

The assessment and collec-
ton Of these taxes will doubt
lessly in many cases produce
great hardship.
Accordingly, I recommend
legislation to correct the exist
ing inequitable situation, and at
the same time to make private
income from all Government
salaries hereafter earned and
from all Government securities
hereafter issued subject to the
general income tax laws Of the
Nation and of the several States.
It is difficult for almost all citi-
zens to understand why a con-
stitutional provision permitting
taxes on income from what
ever source derived" does not
mean from whatever source
derived"

Army Friction Spurs
Hitler Shdkeup Plans

LONDON, Jan. 10 Q.N.S.).
Official German denials today
failed to put an end today to
rumors that Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler is contemplating a re-
shuttle of the Nazi hierarchy.
The latest reports said that the
Fuehrer'S plans were based, not
upon Propaganda Minister Paul
Joseph Goebbels' alleged fall from
grace, but upon a more important
factor-namely, a determination
to ease the supposedly constant
friction between the German
army and the Nazi party.
This friction, the reports said,
was said to have been aggravated
The Washington times., 1939-01-19

by a reported proposal to increase
the elite Black Guard storm troops
by $4,000 men and equip them
with heavy arms, including tanks
and artillery, a move vigorously
opposed by the ReichSwehr.
The rumorS suggested that Field
Marshal Hermann Goering, who
is both an army and a party man,
would be able to smooth out the
difficulties by taking over the
posts Of vice chancellor and war
minister.
It was said that Hitler'S recent
reception of army officers at the
fuehrer house was for the purpose
of giving them a sales talk" on
the army'S duties to the state.
