What the Indians Want
Too Much Is Plenty; Let Them Have It

r or out ( ,Uc,
It is quite all right for our noble Indians to
get an advance of several thousands of dollars
each on their timber sales. But what of the
several very lean years that must elapse be
tween the time many of them will have squan
dered the lump sum and the time the next in
stallments will have become due?
The Indians say they want their money to
get into the stock business. They also say
they are ready for a final settlement with the
government. A delegation is to be sent to
Washington for immediate cash and final set
tlement. Grave doubts must persist as to the
wisdom of any of these overtures. Many of
the Indians express these doubts.
There, is no doubt that throwing open the
. reservation will benefit Klamath Falls. There
is no doubt that a $5,000,000 cash advance to
the Indians would help Klamath Falls. But
is a purely mercenary consideration to govern
the solution of such a vital problem, to . the
Indians?
The reservation lands do, however, belong
to the Indians. Perhaps it would be just as
well to give them what they want. Throwing
them on their own resources might, after all,
prove their salvation here, or hereafter.
Klamath Can Help Congress
Has Real Talent to Toss Into Reclamation Muddle
"Reclamation farmers as a class are not
repudiators. That is not, the spirit of the
West. But their -hopes have not been real
ized." says the annual report of Dr. Hubert
Work, secretary of the interior.
In a spirit of frankness Dr. Work lays the
entire reclamation problem on the boards in
order that Congress may determine "an equit
able and economically sound policy which will
remedy existing evils and make impossible a
recurrence of conditions which have demoral
ized the Federal Reclamation Service."
"All water users are not settlers struggling
to pay for a farm, some are speculators," the
report continues. Klamath water users know
something of this. The speculators struggle
not to pay their taxes, saddling them on the
legitimate farmers. And with a slickness
that makes the farmers like it, and pay for it.
And the logical course out of Klamath's
participancy in the general reclamation mes3
is, of course, for the farmers to send Messrs.
Bradbury or Thomas to Washington right
away quick. To play a real joke on Con
gress, Charles Wood Eberlein, volunteer spir
itual advisor to the district board, should be
sent along as a guiding light.
o
Growing of sugar beets is stressed in the
annual report of C. A. Henderson, county
agent. The great Klamath country is to hear
much more about this important industry.

I'd like to know the name of
the mean, low-down cuss In the
pool parlor yesterday who made
that crack about our Indiana. He
heard somebody say that the poor
red men who are starving on their
160 acres each on the reservation
want a 15.000,000 loan from the
government at once against the
$17,000,000 In reservation timber
sales contracts which are signed
up. The redskins say they want
the gold to Improve their land
and buy stock. This low-brow
yelled, "Yes, they'll buy stock all
right In a brewery."

most plentiful where they grow

Paying fifty rents a month for

small matter by some. It has
mora Importance than Is readied
generally. Losses on circulation
accounts are not huge, and do nut
seriously affect the Incomes of
the newspapers. The loss la vsry
apt to be more serious to the
Individual.
e
Losses on circulation vary from
one to ten per cent as s usual
thing, depending on the character
of the community and ths systems
of distribution and collection.
Pome newspapers, struggling for
circulation, would rather take a
loss on circulation than not have
It. Those newspapers which have

Invoke a weeding out process.
