> I A PLEA FOR THE AMERICAN
INDIAN
(From the Christian Science
Monitor, Boston, March 11,1929)
Seeking to secure for aborigi
nal Americans at least a similar
right to “life, liberty, and the
I pursuit of happiness,” as that
enjoyed by the most recent im
! migrant to the United States,
' Joseph W. Latimer, of New York,
is advocating a plan which, he
declares, would free reservation
Indians from the circumscrib
ied position they occupy as wards
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
and give them liberty to work
out their peculiar problems in a
more normal way
Mr. Latimer, an Illinois attor
ney with headquarters in New
York, is an author and publish
er. For many years he was as
sociated with Dr. Carlos Monte
Izuma, of Chicago, the Apache
j graduate of the University of Il
linois, whose career was largely
devoted to Indian relief, and
with Gen. R. H. Pratt, founder
of the onee-famous Carlisle In
i
!dian School, whose mantle he is
now said to wear. He has been
i widely commended for his disin
terested service in behalf of the
I
reservation tribes.
Defects in Administration
Following the publicity given
isome of the maladjustments in
the administration of Indian
wardship by the Bureau of In
dian Affairs, which appeared in
the report on the condition of
the American Indian made by
the institute for Government
Relations, Mr. Latimer has re
cently made public what he de
nominates as the “Citizenship
plan for the solution of the In
dian problem,” and at the same
time has indicated many of the
alleged flaws in the present bu
reau plan which he hopes to
eradicate. The plan is:
| “1. Free the Indian at once
from bureau wardship of his
person.
“2 Each State—through its al
ready established channels un
der which and in the same man
ner they now treat their other
citizens but the Indian—to edu
cate, to guard, and to police the
Indian. Congressional appro
priations—from Indian funds
where treaties permit o r from
taxes as now—now voted an
nually to the bureau—and more
if needed—to go to the State to
cover all cost of foregoing.”
Note.—Estimates indicate that
the amount now used by the bu
reau for above if properly pro
portioned would more than cov
er necessary costs to the States.)
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
A recent issue of the Seattle
Star carried the following ad
' vertisement. We reproduce it
because we believe every word of
it to be true and fits every com
munity that has its newspaper.
Nothing Can Do the Work of
Newspapers Except Newspapers
The service of its newspapers
to a community is vital to its
prosperity and progress.
This is so true that it may be
said that the bigger, better and
stronger newspapers a city has
the better off that city will be,
and it naturally follows that the
same applies to every resident
of that city.
Newspapers are of necessity
civic leaders. On them falls the
►
| responsibility of clarifying and
crystalizing public thought and
opinion so that the big, import
s' and measures which are essen
tial to progress can be success
; fully be carried thru.
No other vehicle can do this
all- important work. Yet with
out it the chamber of commerce
clubs, the community associa
tions and other public-spirited
organizations would be power
less to function with any degree
of efficiency.
The newspapers, strength
> prosperity and ability to serve
the community depends in the
long run, on the support of the
community.

i A Prophet is Without Honor In
His Own Country
“You have the raw material.
“Don’t let someone else take
the profit.
“Get everything out of it that
you can.
“Your products belong in the
Territory.
“You must take care of your
elf.
“It is all right to help your
! neighbor country BUT HELP
YOURSELF FIRST.”
These are a few striking sen
| tences which he delivered to the
Ketchikan Chamber of Com
merce, and strange to say, not a
I single member of that body
dropped dead. Perhaps they
were merely being polite.
“Alaskans have every reason
for working together.
“That is the most important
thing that they can do.
“Do not forget that whatever
does one town good is good for
the other town. Don’t separate
'Our forces. Get together as
closely as you possibly can work
together.
. .“STAND TOGETHER.”
If we had said the above, no
doubt many would say “The
voice of a politician” or “What
does he want now”?

INVESTIGATIONS
-o
The warning of depletion of
the herring fisheries has been
sounded for several years and all
the attention given to the warn
ings has been the reply “Bol
shivik.”
The Bureau of Fisheries con
tinuing its policy of moral cow
ardice, refuses to take any pos
itive action to protect that fish
eries from further destruction by
the fertnlizer plants. They have
been investigating the fisheries
and they are still investigating.
There will be nothing left to in
vestigate err long and then Mr.
O’Malley will try to show what
a wonderful, scientific machine
he has. And every time a little
run of herring is reported he will
j say better than 1929 or better
rhan 1928—the low years of pro
duction of food in that industry.
AFFLICTION OF MID-EUROPE
-x
We, Americans, point fingers
of scorn at the European auto
cracy and its bureau-ridden
governments. In Alaska the on
ly increase noticeable in popu
lation is in the “Federal Bri
gade” and regulation is displac
ing law even to support of the
judiciary for the bureaucratic
autocracy.
Being a Republic and a Terri
tory under that Republic we can
see and understand our own sit
uation better by “pulling the
mote out of the European eye”
and forgetting our own:
“Bureaucracy Is Affliction In
Mid-Europe”
From The Daily Colonist, Van
couver, B. C.
One of the most notable re
forms introduced by Premier
Jules Maniu during the session
of the Rumanian Parliament
just ended was the reorganiza
tion of the Rumanian State Ad
ministration and a radical re
duction in the number of state
employees. To carry through
his plan almost cost M. Maniu
: a revolution, but it was worth it,
In cutting off a few thousand
heads of the hydra of bureau
cracy he attacked a monster

Abuses Are Enormous
Bureaucracy alone is a heavy
burden to bear, but bureaucracy
multiplied and stultified by cor
ruption becomes a visitation.
One of the first acts of the Man
iu Administration was to dis
pose of state automobiles usea
by former ministers and then
friends. An investigation oi
hospital conditions disclosed the
lack of beds even for urgent
cases, while in medical depots
100,000 thermometers and a
greater number of hypodermic
needles, ordered from Germany
at double the usual price, were
discovered.
To be Continued
CONSERVATION
The O’Malley system of con
servation is beyond the under
standing of every practical fish
erman of Alaska.
The late run of salmon is con
served to a point that an over
seeding takes place in every
stream. The early runs of sal
mon having performed their one
duty of depositing and seeding
their spawn, die and become
feed for trout and fertilizer for
the creek banks. The late run,
fostered by O’Malley, comes to
the same spawning areas, dig up
the nests of the first run and
deposit their own. The seed of
the first run is virtually destroy
ed by the conservation system
fostered by bigoted ignoramuses
and buric rats along with the in
tensive over production from the
later runs.

Only a blindly prejudiced man
or one benefitting in a monetary
way from the system, can fail to
see the wrongness of the plan
and its injury to the Territory.
. . . . NO FEED—NO FISH . . . .
A fish buyer, asked how the
fish were biting replied: “No
feed—no fish. No feed any
where. The fish are not biting.
The herring fertilizer plants
have cleaned out the herring.
