ditions generally are worse. and
great unhappiness, confusion. and
despair among the Indians have ne
suited.
Arguments advanced against the
Wheeler-Howard Act in general.
can be summarized as follows:
l. Acceptance of the act CHANGED
the status OF the Indians from that
OF involuntartary wardship.
2. The act provides for continued
wardship of the Indians and gives
Secretary of the Interior increased
authority.
3. The act is contrary to the es-
tablished policy of the Congress of
the United States to eventually
grant the full rights of citizenship
to the Indians.
4. The act provides for only one
form of government, with all pro-
perty, real and personal, held in
common; and it compels the Indians
to live in communities segregated
from the rest of American citizens.
S. The act itself and the admin
stration of the act violates the
righs OF citizenship which the In
diar have won through long years
of efforts.
6. That the Indians prefer to be
undor the jurisdiction of the laws
OF tie respective States where they
reside.

that the Civil Service Commission
has held that it cannot take action
against Bureau employees who
campalgned in these various sect
ions because of authority conferred
upon the Secretary of the Interior
under the so-called Wheeler-How-

with the Indians and they were pro-

Report On Proposed Repeal
OF Wheeler-Howard Bill

formation obtained by visiting var
ious Indian reservations and COM
munities throughout the United
States by subcommittee of your
committe making a survey of con-
ditionS among the Indians of the
United States, have disclosed that
certain general conditions prevail
on all reservations and localities.
A summary of the evidence in va
rious forms brought to the attention
of your committee seems to reveal
the following:
l. Four campaigns have been sta
ged on the reservations by the Blu
reau of Indian Affairs, relative to
the said act, viz: (a) Campaign to
secure Indian approval of the pend
ing bill in 1884; OBJ campaign to Sc
cure Indian acceptance of the act
itself, in elections held for that pur-
pose; (c) campaign to secure Indian
acceptance of a constitution in ele-
ctions held for that purpose; (d)
campaign to secure Indian accept
ance of a charter in the elections
held in those places where both the
act and the constitution had been
accepted.
2. Witnesses supporting the bills
for repeal of the act were unani-
nous in their statements that un-
justifiable amounts of Federal ap-
preparation for the Indian Bureau
were used to conduct these four
campaigns; that Indians were; high
presumed into accepting the act and
adopting the constitutions and char
tiers under authority of the act;
all local agency officials and In
dams employed on Work: Relief
projects were ordered to cannpaign
actively for the act and that under
threat of losing their positions, they
did SO campaign; that officials of
the Washington office of the Indian
Bureau and Indians from the reser-
vations were brought into local
areas to campaign and that Indians
both from outside and within the
local areas were paid a salary and
travelling expenses for campaigning

The bill provides that the books of all cities and towns shall be audited once year by experienced public accountants, with copies of, the audits filed with the state tax commissioner.
 The auditors will be appointed in each community by the budget making authority, which in Water bury is the board of finance. This is victory for Senator Edward F. Egan of Waterbury, who early in the session introduced a bill calling Tor appointment of an auditor by the finance board. The bill was rejected at that time.
 Frankly based on the allegations of the Waterbury grand jury that taxpayers were not given . true picture of city finances, the munici- pal audit plan had the backing of the Democratic, Republican and So-, cialist parties. ';
 The unanimous vote was given yesterday after an amendment by Senator John L. Sullivan, of New Britain, providing for audits to be made by the state, was defeated. 7.

Only One Measure for Lower Interest Rate :. Survives
Especial to The Democrat)


 State Capitol, Hartford. April 2G 1.-The banks committee of the state legislature has voted to reject all small loan bills with the exception of one introduced by Rep. Hugo Guastaferri of Waterbury. This measure, which is being held for further consideration, would limit tNo interest rate on small loans to opn per cent a month, and would set $500 as the maximum amount for such loans.
 Apparently however, this bill has liEtle chance of passage. Observers pHedict that the banks committee will also vote to file an unfavorable report on 1t.
 tsIep. Guastaferri's bill may be the shkject of battles on the floor in the senate and house, since it has many ptoponents who will seek to over throw the report of the banks com- nfittee.
 iTnterest rates on small loans have bAen bone ~. cQntention at the pAst four or five Sessions of the General Assembly. Public hearings oH this sessions small loan bills two weeks ago were attended by a large apd vociferous crowd, and commit. tGe members questioned representa- tiSes of small loan companies as to money paid for lobbying at previous sessions of the legislature.
