the latter article was an an
nouncement of several meetings
that were to be held in Brown

walton that Blackfeet Indians
might get information about the
American Indians of Montana,
Our understanding is that there
was small attendance at the
meetings. We take it that it's the
same old story-"Let George Do

Editors Comment

The Chief assumes no respon.
sibility for critical statements ap-
pearing in this article. Out Of our
wish that the American Indians
of Montana organization may
grow to be a blessing to the
states aspiring Indians. we are
publishing it.
We question whether the criti-
cal part of it with add vitality to
the organization, since now it is
in its important formative pro.
cess.
1t is wholesome to note that
while the author of the article
sets out with charges impugning
the motives of Browning men,
bers of the executive board. she
concludes with the Iaudation that
the organization has an exscu.
tive board that has gained the
confidence and respect Of The
people by their honesty and sin.

Consideration by Congress of
bill TO repeal the Land Grant
Act has prompted many to ask.
What is a land grant railway"
In lS50-l87l the federal govern
ment coded about 130,000,000 acres
of land to railways - to encourage
construction in undeveloped territory,
attract settlers, increase taxable
wealth, and enhance the value of and
promote sale OF Government-own
land remote from markets. A land
grant railway is one which received
such grants. This aid was given to
less than 10 per cent of the nations
present rail mileage.
Present law requires transportation
by land grant railways of federal
military personnel and property at
one-half the rates available to COM
mercial shippers. Non-land grant rail-
ways by agreement with the govern
ment meet these reduced rates.
One result is a commercially dis
ruptive rate situation affecting sup
pliers of military goods. The lower
land grant rates favor the firm so
located that land grant rates apply to
its shipments and against a Compel
ing concern so located that land grant
rates do not apply, thus requiring
payment of higher established COM
mercial rates.
Original value of the granted land
has, in the intervening years, been
repaid to the government many times
over through land grant rates.
Great Northern is not land grant
railway but meets the land grant
rates of other lines in its territory.
Only such grants ever acquired by
Great Northern on its entire system
embraced some Minnesota lands be-
longing to predecessor companies
Great Northern later purchased.
