Anti-Liquidation Group
Plan Hearing Arguments
Editor's Note! Thla la the second of

the Klnmnth Indian reservation, subject
of a consrcsslonnl hearing on SB 1223 to

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. The

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
