The Only
Thing To Do

hing 10 10
The Libby Rod and Gun Club
has taken a wise step. 1t has writ
ten to Senator Wheeler asking him
to make inquiry of the Department
of the Interior and find out if there
really exists treaty granting to
Indians the right to hunt through
out this district during all seasons
of the year and without any re-
strictions.
For long time local sportsmen
have been considerably put out over
the ability of some Indians to vio-
late the game laws of Montana and
then when arrested to plead exist
ence of a treaty with the United
States government giving them the
privilege to hunt in this region
without restrictions and for all time
to come They claim the treaty has
existed since before Montana was I.
state.
This matter was again brought 70
public attention by the recent trial
of an Indian for the killing of deer
out Of season-which was admit
ted by him-but for which act he
was found not guilty by jury
when a copy of the purported trea-
ty was submitted in evidence.
The action by the Rod and Gun
Club is the only logical thing to DO
Find out if the treaty really exists.
If it does it will have to be abided
by or steps taken to abrogate it..
if possible. If it does not exist, then
the Indians should be made to obey
the game laws, just the same a.
other citizens. The indiscriminate
killing of game is threat to the
game supply and should be stopped
if there is just way to do it. II
there is such treaty and if there Is
no way to abrogate it, there might
be ways by which its provisions
might be made ineffective. 1t has
been said that Montana laws fer
bid an Indian to carry a gun off tire
reservation. II this report is true, it
might provide a means for the con-
troll Of hunting by the Indians. They
couldn't make much Roadway with.
out rifle.
If the treaty in question remains
definitely in force, there would be
little use in taking the matter into
court. For an exactly similar case
has already been passed on by the
United States supreme court. A
number of years ago some state OF
Washington Indians were arrested
for fishing too close to a dam in
a Washington river, Washington
state law prohibiting such fishing
within SO many feet of dam. When
taken into court the Indians sub
mitted as evidence a treaty signec
in the early days between an officia
representative of the Government
and the Indians giving them the
right to fish and hunt in that ares
without any restrictions. The In
dams lost the case in the state court:
and carried it to the u. S. supreme
court. There it was held that thu
treaty was a valid one and that IL;
provisions must be respected arc
that the Indians had a perfect RICH
to fish as they pleased on the lake.
and streams of that area. This i
exactly similar in most respects t,
the problem that has arisen here |.
respect to big game hunting.
Therefore the Rod and Gun Clul
has taken wise action to find on
just where we stand. When that i
learned, plans can then be made Il
correct condition that should no
be permitted to continue.
