HUGH JACKSON'S
LETTER

To my fellow Piegans:
Many years ago, you sold part of
what is now Glacier Park to the U.
S.
Approximately $1,50O,OOO was the
consideration. In those days that
was a very considerable sum. Your
deal was a barter rather than a
cash consideration. You got horses,
cows, implements, of all kinds food,
and other necessities of life.
Result was: from 1900-l906, you
became wealthy. Because you had
thousands of live stock on the
range, you need to be able to 60 in
Frank Walls, Broadwater's or the
j. H. Sherburne store most anytime
and buy two hundred dollars worth
of merchandise, and say, Charge
it,. Without batting an eye the mer-
chant would answer, Certainly"
Of course, those were the golden
days. But, how did you get that
way?
Beside the Indian Agent, there
were possibly half a dozen other
Glacier County chief., 1939-11-24

employees to help look after your
interests. Your success and good
luck was partly due to the foot that
you were left alone. You did not
have too many people running
around telling you the where and
how to do things. You were on YOUR
judgment and past experiences.
Today, you have an agent with
a great many helpers, on high speed
machinery to look after your inter-
ests. And, too, your own govern
ment run by your council to do the
same thing. This government has
the ear marks and acts like a Next
can government on a Roman holi-
day.
Mr.. Average Piegan, are you get
ting anywhere on the new line UP?
Maybe you are like me-she is too
doggone deep to dope out. One
thing, though, it is not too deep or
too hard to fix. You have lots of
time to think this over. Should YOU
think its o. X. and would be nice
to have Mexican style of an Arts
tocracy, vote the same bunch in on
election day. Otherwise, the new
council will have to be elected on
the fact they are going to junk the

FROM TRIBAL
COUNCIL MINUTES

A lengthy discussion then ensued
in regard to the loaning of tribal
funds to individuals. A resolution
was prepared by the council prohib-
iting the use of tribal funds for loan
purposes. Upon motion by Brian
Connolly, seconded by Richard San
derville, the resolution was unanim-
ously adopted. Copy of resolution
attached hereto.)
The repayment of loans now in
effect was then brought up for con-
sideration. The records of the tribal
office indicate that the loans are
not being repaid according to the
terms of agreements made by the
borrowers. In view of the fact that
tribal funds in the amount of $3.50
are outstanding on individual loans,
the Council prepared a resolution
instructing the Chairman to contact
and interview all borrowers in an
effort to secure repayments, parti-
cular attention to be given to loans
now in delinquent status. Upon
motion made by Brian Connolly, Sc
conded by William Buffalohide, the
resolution was adapted unanimous
ly. Copy of resolution attached
hereto.)
The transfer of tribal funds from
the First National Bank of Brown
ing, Montana to an I. I. M. account
of the Blackfeet Agency was given
careful consideration by the Coun-
Gil After add phases of the propos-
ed procedure was considered, a re-
solution was introduced by Wright
w. Hagerty, seconded by Edward
Bigbeaver, authorizing the Treasur-
er to transfer the Tribal account
from the First National Bank of
Browning, Montana, to an I. I. M.
account of the Blackfeet Agency,
such fund to be designated as 1.-THE
Blackfeet Tribe of the Blaclfeet In
dian Reservation. The resolution
was adopted by an affirmation vote
of seven with VIM. J. Spanish and

MIR. Jack Duncan
Editor Glacier County Chief
Browning, Montana
Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to a
letter of Mr.. John Collier, Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs appearing
in the Glacier County Chief under
the date of November II, 1899.
As a member of the Blaclfeet In
dian Tribal council, I feel that GER
tain parts more than others are di-
rected toward me and for that rea-
son 1t is my desire to explain my
stand on certain matters stated in
the letter which l believe do not
wholly state the facts.
In one place, the Commissioner
remarks that he was somewhat dis
turbed by the fact that I besides
one other voted against the transfer
OF tribal funds to an account at the
agency. It IS true that voted
against the transfer of this account
to the agency, but I believe that I
was justified in doing so.
The council proceeding the pres
ent one lived up to the laws and re-
gulations and there was no heed or
wish to transfer the funds to the
Agency. At the time the matter
was up for discussion before the
Cuncil l remark that so long as
we lived up to the laws and regula-
tons, we would not need to transfer
the funds to the Agency and that if
the Council failed in this particular
it should clean its house. I felt fur
Glacier County chief., 1939-11-24

Their that we as tribe are supposed
to be self governing and that the
withdrawing of these funds to the
Agency would be a curtailment OF
our rights if not in fact in any event
in principal. We further admit by
the transfer of these funds that we
are incapable of looking after them.
l felt then, and feel new that each
time we surrender one of our rights
we are loosing that much ground to-
wards self government.
Very Truly Yours

Distance is Your Problem

Almost everything the Northwest produces
must be hauled long distances:
Wheat, to -four mills and, as -four, to far-fung
cities everywhere;
Cattle, from western ranges to packing plants,
and eventually to the tables of consumers through
out the nation;
Seed potatoes, from the Red River Valley to the
Southern States,-1,500 miles;
Apples, from the State of Washington to Chicago
and New York,-from 1000 to 5000 miles.
Most of our products, in fact, must find their
way to populous, distant markets where they are
consumed or put to use.
But after they are hauled these long distances,
and unavoidaby at considerable cost, they gen.
orally cannot be sold for any more than similar
products which are shipped to the same markets
from producing that closer.
These great distances are inescapabfe facts.
All that any of US do about it is to try TO
minimize this handicap SO far as possible.
And that has been the policy of the Great North
ern Railway from its earliest days,-to provide
highly efficient transportation; to help you find prof
liable markets for what you grow; and to try to
make rates that will enable you to sell your products
prohtably in those markets.
But the extent to which the Great Northern
can be helpful depends upon two things:
I-Hov cheoply we can produce the trans
portation you require; and,
2.-How closely We can come to using
transportation facilities to their full capacity,
because VOLUME is the only thing that lDiU
spread and thin out the expense of maintain
ing our railroad plant and its overhead costs.
The handicap of distance is only made more
burdenson1e by public policies, laws and regula-
tons which add unnecessarily to the cost of furnish
ing your railroad transportation; which artif-
cally divert traffic from the railroad to other forms
of transportation through subsidies, unequal regu-
lation and unequal taxation.
When the bulk of uOhat you produce must be
n1oued hundreds and eDen thousands of miles
by railroad, the effect of public policies on the
cost of each mile of this transportation be-
comes a matter of grave concern.

PARK SLANG

In some of the national parks there
is a slang lingo under which the
tourist is called dude" The college
student who serves around the hotel
is called "saveage." the table wait
er is called HEAVIER and the bus
driver is known as gear jammer.
The splendid type of young people
who work in these parks. largely to
earn money for education, don't de-
serve these names. Most travellers
have seen elsewhere folks to whom
they do apply Some tourists. as they
swell around trying TO seem bigger
than at home, might be called
dudes" When some college students
go on their campus rampages. they
seem somewhat akin to the primitive
red man. Many tourists have had
their experience with "heavers," who
heave the food very slowly when
tips are not forthcoming. Bus drivers
are almost always competent, but
plenty of gear TANNERS are opera
ting private automobiles.

BECOMING sUPERMEN

Many of the German people are
said to believe that their country is
occupied by a race of very superior
intelligence and scientific ability,
and as consequence that their cOun-
try is destined to be dominating
influence in the world.
A belief that Germany is such a
country was thought by many to have
largely Influenced the nation toward
"a policy that led to war in 1914.
Chancellor Hitler and his followers
today are claimed to entertain some
such belief, and it is supposed to
urge them on to try to make their
country the dominating power in
Europe and possibly the whole
world.
The Germans are very efficient and
scientific, and if possession of these
qualities enables a country to go on
to new heights of progress. Ameri-
cans will be asking how they too can
become supermen. They do not want
to dominate or rule the world, but
they would like to be supermen
enough to solve their own problems
and produce a state of welfare and
progress never reached before.
If the Germans are entitled to be
supermen they may be-
come so masterful that the world
will feel them to be a danger, and
will combine against them and put
them down. That was about what
happened in the World War. If the
supermen try to boss the whole plan
ct they show less than super intelli-
gence.
The scientific and educated eff
cheney which supermen are supposed |
10 acquire is desirable, if it leads
people up the paths of peaceful pro-
yress. II could lead them that way,
f it were not for the innate selfish
ness of mankind If the people of
my nation come to feel that they
InOw more and are smarter than the

THE DESPAIR 0F A RACE

A dispatch from Bucharest, Ru-
mania, tells how $50 Jews attempted
to jump into the sea when they were
unable to sail on a refugee ship. Very
many Of this prosecuted race have
attempted to end their sorrows since
the Germans began to persecute
them.
In this hour of despair for the great
body of Jews thrust out ON a cold
world, they have the word of their
Psamist. who said. Though / walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death, thy rod and they staff they
comfort me-"
The opportunity our people have
given the Jews shines like a good
deed in a naughty world, as Mr.
Shakespeare said. When accounts
are made up on the great Judgment
day, our people will not regret the
things they have done for a race
whose great German population has
been east out of its home and turned
over to the pity of the world.

SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT

One good way to make the home
town seem attractive is to give spe-
cial care and attention to sidewalks.
Since it costs such large sums TO
keep up the roads and streets for
automobiles, there is tendency in
many towns TO economize on side
walks. That policy allows many
walks to remain rough and stony,
and it is not pleasant to walk about
the neighborhoods suffering from
these deftcts.
A rough walk in front of a nice
PLACE, makes it look like the man
with nice clothes except for the fray
ed ends of his trousers. If that walk
can be repaired or rebuilt, a co,nsid-
cradle addition is made to the selling
value of the place. and it becomes an

HITLER AND THE NEWSPAPERS

The fear of war, according to
Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany, is
due to "unbridled agitation on the
part of the press, an agitation as
mendacious as it is base, in the cir
culatiOn of vile pamphlets about the
heads of foreign nations" He be-
lieves that ''as soon as the respon-
sible governments impose upon
themselves and their journalistic or
gans the necessary restraint and
truthfulness as regards the rela-
tions of the various countries, the
fear of war will disappear"
According to him then, a govern
ment controlled press is the means
by which wars can be avoided. To
this doctrine the American people
reply an emphatic No. They can see
that where a government feeds out
TO the newspapers its own version
of events, which praises everything
the government does and denies and
ridiclles the criticisms made of that
government. the conditions are Gre
ated that lead to wars. There would
be no danger of war in Europe to- /
day, if it was not that the Germans
have been given distorted picture
of world events and conditions in
their own country by their own
newspapers. which are made subject
to the government.
If the newspapers of some cOun-
try give out a dictated picture Of 4
events, and if there is no chance to
correct the errors in that picture,
You can't blame the people of such
a land if they think the rest of the
world is ganging up on them, and
that the only thing for them is to
fight TO overcome this concerted at \
tack.
If there is free press in a coun-
try, there is little chance that its
government will ever start a war
The free press will express the hor-
ror which the people feel of war,
and will demand that the govern
ment follow peace policies.
