Today'a article cxplntlta some of Ihe oppoaltlon arsumcnts. k When the group ol Klamath In dians who arc saying an emphatic "no" to the proposal for liquidating the reservation start their argu ments before a senate sub-committee next week, they will drop back Into history to make their most Im portant point. The point is that the Klamaths and allied tribes once had control of this entire region. Now they have only a small share of their ancient empire, but are determined to keep it. In 1864 the Klamaths wero cor nered and more or less given the alternative of signing a treaty with the whites and getting on the reser vation to live, or extermination. They signed the treaty. At that time the white men lolu them, In effeot, that they were standing In the way of tho march of progress, that tho best thing they could do would bo to get on the reservation which was act up by the 1864 treaty and stay there.

" reservation, they were told, would be their homes and their children's honfes from that time on. The reason the reservation was located where it is was so the In dians wouldn't be around to annoy the whites. The land set aside was not fit for cultivation then. Now the whites are giving thought to a measure which would do away wlUi Uie rservation and turn -the Indians loose.
