North American Indians under
the jurisdiction of the United States
Government are faced with from 200
to 800 bills affecting their social,
political and economic life, including
some laws affecting Executive Or
ders, Treaties and agreements be-
tween the United States and Indian
Tribes, Dave Higgins, president of
the Inter-Tribal Policy Board told
board members this week, as those
bills most affecting Montana Indians
were discussed at a meeting of the
inter-tribal board
In an effort to stem this tide
Higgins read a resolution he had pre-
sented to the National Congress of
American Indians and which Rep. Lee
Metcalf is introducing in the congress
under the sponsorship of the NCAI.
The resolution says that Indians
have not been accorded full oppor-
tunity to participate in the drafting
of legislation of Importance to them,

WHEN INDIANS INVADE WASHINGTON

THEREFORE,: be it resolved .
that any Indian tribe, band or other
identifiable group of Indians con-
cerned with such legislation, shall be
consulted prior to it's drafting, par
ticularly bills affecting rights and
privileges guaranteed by Treaties and
Agreements, and such Indians shall
be given full opportunity to partici-
pate in the drafting of any proposed

Though it is accepted that the
termination of federal stewardship
of the Indians has been halted at
this session of the congress, Indians
feel keenly the sentiment of the
present administration in Washing
ton as expressed by Senator Wat
kins, (R.-Utah) that "Indian Treaties
have outlived their usefulness" and
Senator Watkins threat eve won't
get this bill through this session, but

Pilgeram, native of Montana was
born in Great Falls on March IL,
1890. He was first elected to the
Montana Legislature in 1922 and
served as representative from Cas-
cade county for five sessions. He was
Speaker of the House in the 1885
session and the first Cascade county
representative to be so honored.
At the time he was serving as
Speaker of the House he also sat as
Governor for 10 days when Governor
Cooney was in Mississippi and Elmer
Holt, President pro tenn of the SEN
ate was in Illinois. At that time there
was no 1t. Governor as 1t. Governor
Cooney had moved into the Governor
ship when Governor Erickson took
over as U. S. Senator. After the
death of Governor Cooney, Pilegram
served a number of times as Cover
nor when the then Governor Holt
was out of the state.
Pilgeram was Governor Bonner's
appointment as Commissioner of
State Lands and Investments from
April, 1949 to April, 1868, during the
first boom days of the Williston ba-
sin oil discovery at which time the
State Land Department handled rec
ord receipts of over ten million dol
lars in 1862. He started as field man
for the State Land Office in 1925
and served during the time |. M.
Brandjord was Commissioner.

and taxes on families with income of
$4,000 or more per year.
Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, one of
the ten Republican congressman to
support higher individual exemptions,
in arguing for such Increases, told
fellow House members that under HR
$500 without that provision, mil
lions of fine American citizens, tax
payers all, receive no tax relief :"
Emphasizing that "the purpose of
this tax bill was to bring about re-
lief from the heavy burden of taxes
for the American people," Mrs. Rog-
ers said HR $500 "does not accomp-
fish this purpose"
What it does accomplish, she con-
tinued, is to give tax relief to peo-
pie least needing such relief. "The
biggest item in the loss in revenue
to individuals" she said, "is the pro-
posal to reduce taxes on dividends.
AS now proposed reduced taxation on
dividends by fiscal 1857 will amount
to $3.50 annually.
Much has been said by Admins
tration spokesman on how widespread
corporation stock ownership is, and
accordingly how big boon to peo-
pie of small income reduction of the
tax on dividends would be. The Con-
gresswoman from Massachusetts eff
fectively punctured that argument by
pointing out that of Americas So
million families, "only per cent
:. owns any stock of publicly held
corporations. This means that about
100000 families own stock.
But, this is not even close to
the full story" she continued,
because of the 100000 that own
stock, $4,000 families actually
own 80 per cent of the total pub
licly held stock in America" Each
one of the $4,000 families
themselves own $4,000 worth OF
stock or more. Therefore tax cuts
resulting from this proposal will
go to only a very limited few of
the (52 million) American fam
lilies
AS for cutting corporation taxes
by $619 million as the bill proposes,
in the name of giving investors more
incentive to invest in industrial eX-
pansion, Mrs. Rogers pointed out
that we already have an industrial
plant capable of producing more

: iCALF FOR, D'EWART AGAINST
aHER INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS

: ontana's congressman, Metcalf
q D'Ewart, as on most import
: t issues nullified each others vote
. i increasing individual income tax
exemptions when the House was con-
sidering the Eisenhower Administra-
TONS tax revision bill, HR $500 last
week. The move to increase exemp-
tions from 5000 to $500, lost by a
210-204 vote, with voting almost
strictly along party lines. President
Eisenhower and his Congressional
aides, strongly opposed the move to
increase exemptions.
Metcalf voted for the 500 ex-
emption increase. D'Ewart against.
Had the increase amendment been
successful it would have opened
the door for the average family of
four with an income of about $4,-
600 a year, to have had an extra
$88 per year to spend on food,
clothing n d other necessary
household items.
In the aggregate, an exemption in
crease of 500 per individual would
have resulted in $2.3 billion addi-
tional purchasing power being avail
able to the American public. Can
exemption increase to $500 would
give the American public an addition
