I am a very Interested by Standcr

Superintendent of the rcscrva-

have a vital interest in seeing
that the Indian people are served
with roads; We spend all of our
road money and cooperate with
the County and State to build
more roads: l think that We did
a pretty slick job to promote this
with no expense to the Indian

very little expense to the State,

too far astray. we are going to

feel. as here indicated from
the Starr School people, some.
what surprised that they should
get a road at this time. Such
an opportunity. for a relatively
small community. comes only
once in twenty-five or maybe
once in fifty years. They aren't
objecting to a grca, degree at
routing the road through town.
in place of going north along the

the thing is that VIC get road
into the area. no matter which
way it is routed. ! can't see
another chance in the near flu.

don't do something that will

Mr. T. A. Buscy
Editor and Publisher
Glacier Reporter
Browning, Montana
Dear Mr.. Buscy:
! wish to compliment you ON
the editorial concerning the sale
of liquor on reservations and
entitled Trying to Help the In.
dams, which appeared in the
April 6 issue of the Glacier Re.
porter. Your article contains
one of the most intelligent and
understanding discussions of a
tragic situation that ! have read.
In this editorial, however, it
is asserted that the only law.
making body with full authority
to make and enforce ALL laws
on the reservation is the Tribal
Council" Unfortunately. from
the point of view of the members
Of the Blackfcct Tribe. this state.
mcnt does not tell the whole
story.
When the problem of law en-.
fOrccment involves diSOrderly
conduct or drunkenness on the
part of Indians. the Tribal Coun.
Gil. of course. can provide APP.
propriatc penalties for the of.
tenders. When the problem in.
wolves illegal sales after hours
or the sale of liquor to minors
by nOn-lndians. on the other
hand. a crime is committed un.
der Federal and State laws. and
these governments alone have
authority to punish the guilty
party. In such cases. the Tribal
Council cannot get a, the root
Of the evil through a prosccu.
ton. but can only revoke the
license of the seller. il he has
one. after notice and hearing.
Your editorial notes that las
a matter Of common sense. i, is
too much to expect the Countil
to enact and enforce a sufficicn,
code of regulations in addition
TO their other multiiudinous
duties" My purpose in writing
is TO point out that the Council,
which has no jurisdiction over
non.lndians on the reservation,
actually has no power 10 do a
complete job of law enforcement.
but that responsibility rests also
with the Federal and State au.
thoritics.
Sincerely yours.

II April, 1856

Rep. Orvin Flare,
House Office Building.
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. Flare:
Your confused letter to Ever.
EFT Elliott in the Conrad Indepen-
dent Observer deserves COM
ment. Is it utter ignorance of
parliamentary procedure that is
responsible for your continuing
failure to admit the fraud of
your news releases on the durum
bill?
May | review? The durum
bill was introduced in the Sen.
ate by Murray and Mansfield.
with other Senators on January
9. The last of February you is
sued a news release that you
we're going to present an amend.
ment to the bill in the House.
When the bill finally passed the
House and went to the President
on March 9Th you had neither
offered your amendment. nor
testified for the bill when it was
before the committee.
Your lame excuse, in a fur.
Their news release. that the bill
was placed on the consent cal.
endar. depriving me of the op.
portunity to present my amend
ment" is patiently false. Look at
the rules of the House. Mr.. Flare.
and you will see that for bills
on the consent calendar con.
sideration is had by the House
as in Committee of the Whole"
and under this procedure debate
is limited to the so.called five
minute rule. The S minute rule.
according to the House Rules
and Manual reads ANY member
shall be allowed five minutes to
explain any amendment he may
offer"
Admit. Mr.. Flare. that your
statement was wrong and that
you could have presented the
amendment. if you actually had
one. We know that you had
no legislative experience when
you went to Washington. but
surely in a year and a half you
should have become familiar
with at least the elementary
rules of the House whose dc.
liberations you are supposed to
participate in.
have two suggestions for
you. Mr.. Flare: First. that you
study the Rules and Manual of
the House of Representatives of
the United States. II you can't
find a copy around your office
Ill loan you the copy I used
for reference while I was Demo.
cratic floor leader in the Mon.
tana Senate. Second. that you
quit sending out phoney news
releases whose only basis and
intent is to get your name in
the papers.
! notice in a recent news re.
lease that you label this a do.
nothing Congress. In view of
the facts outlined above the
people of Eastern Montana will
recognize that they. at least,
are represented by q do.noth thing
