Blackfeet At
Helena In Tax
Controversy

Meeting with state officials
those of the offices of attorney

state department of public well
fare-a delegation of members of
the Blackfeet Tribe at a Helena
conference Tuesday argued their
case in opposing a principle that
the state has the legal right to
collect taxes levied upon person.
al property on Indian trust land.
Among the main Indian spokes-
men was Leo M. Kenne erly,
chairman of the Blackfeet Tribal
Council. AS a member of the
Blackfeet tribe, Glacier County
Representative Dave Higgins
spoke in strong language against
the principle.
Nearly every tribe in the state
as we'll as the Montana Landless
Indians group had representa-
tives attending. Besides Kenn-
erly and Higgins, hos of the
Blackfeet delegation included
Tribal Coucilman Angus Monroe
and his wife, Councilmen John
Shoup and Fred Grant and Polite
Pepion, John and James Mckay
| and Mrs. Kennerly, wife of the
Tribal Council chairman Kenner-
l. Iy.
Representatives of the Koot-
enai-Salish- sh-Flathead Consolidat-
ed, Crow, Gros Ventre, North
Cheyenne "a nd Assiniboine
tribes were in attendance,
AS a whole it was a friendly
meeting, with spokesmen for
the state offices admitting in the
/ course of argument that they
didn't know too much about In
dian problems"
At a meeting W h n several
weeks, Montana Indian groups
will go over the same ground
with tax collectors of II Monta-
ma Counties.
1t was the unanimously agreed
the tax question should be set
tied in court. In that event Eel
tx Cohen, Indian counsel in Wash
ington, D. C. assisted by resi-
dent counsel, will plead against
the states levying upon Indian
trust land.
| That Montana tribes could and
might withdraw from whitemen
all fishing and hunting rights on
reservations was a threat made
at the meeting as retaliatory
measure should a court decision
disfavor them in the present con-
troversy.
According to Kennerly, the
present existing agreement be-
tween the State Fish and Game
Commission and the Blackfeet
Tribal Council could be nullified
upon brief notice.

week with an amusing story
on herself. 1t was in regard
to her recent appearance on
television when she made a
brief talk on the U. N. The
TV short had been made with
in the charming confines OF
her own New York residence.
Immediately following the tel
ecast some calls came in.
Mrs. Lord" said one un-
known voice at the other end
of the line, II just saw you
on TV." "Yes," said Mary
Lord, her face beginning to
broaden into a smile in an
ticipation of the compliments
on her talk that were sure
to follow. What 1 want to
know" continued the voice,
"is where you bought that
lamp that was sitting on the
table"
Two more people telephoned
for the same debating rea-
son, grinned Mrs. Lord, and
she couldn't tell them where
the lamp came from because
it was a wedding present. 1T
must have been a pretty un-
usual article" observed her
listeners. 1T was a table

ton given by the goodlooking
woman who's more interested
in U. N. affairs than house
furnishings.

At long last an official of the present
administration has put his finger on
the key to this hysteria about Russian
spies. In commenting on the charges
Of disloyalty at Fort Monmouth, the
Secretary of the Army recently stated
that at the time in question we were
allies of the Russians and freely gave
them information. There was no need
for spying, and hence there was none
at Monmouth.
If we will transport ourselves back to
the fighting forties. when we were
either actual allies or still baSking in
the warm afterglow, and note that the
incidents now complained of actually
took place in that climate, 1t will serve
to bring into truer perspective their
correct value.
Congressional committees and some
others are not as objective as the pres
ent Secretary of the Army and are
more interested in seeking headlines
than in finding the truth.

Dim the Troffic LIGHTS?

1t is encouraging to note that ex-
perts like George Keneipp are recog-
nizing that traffic lights are not a
cure-all for traffic problems. 1t is a
popular misconception to think that
traffic lights are always a blessing;
they can be a curse as we'll.
Mr.. Keneipp is quoted in The Star
of December 2 as saying that the job
of traffic lights is more to control
heavy traffic than to provide safety.
The inference is that when traffic
ceases to be heavy, many traffic lights
could be put on a flashing sequence to
the benefit of all. Such procedure would
largely remove the curse. Few things
are more exasperating and inefficient
than traffic lights operating on the
familiar red-green phase when the
traffic volume has dropped sufficiently
to no longer require their use. The
cost of clock control to make this
possible would soon be repaid to the
motorists in gasoline and time saved.
