WHERE WE STAND
-o
The Alaska Native Brother
hood is virtually the only non
i sectarian, non-religious, fratern
jal organization that is on record
in Alaska as in favor of the Vol
I stead Law. This publication, in
;ro far as the Prohibition Law is
|on the books, believes that con
scientious effort should be made
to onforec that law and every
other law. Personally the edit
or is “dry” and not by virtue of
the Volstead law.
As a vendor of news and opin
ions our columns are open to the
reading public. We are not edit
orially bound to accept any ol
the views of those who contrib
ute to our columns. We, how
ever believe that a conscientious
study of any problem can only
be made of the subject, pro
hibition or any other subject by
dispassionately discussing the
problem from every angle.
CLIQUES and clans
One cf the failings of the pro
hibition law is gang rule. And
\ye refer to any clique or clan of
i political office holders as ‘gangs’
I when they pervert their oaths of
j office to protect favored violat
ors of vhe law but '“throw 'he
| l^ook” at some misfortunate who
j t.oes not belong to the gang. In
! this instance we speak of gen
j oral conditions from one end of
the land to the other.
The next point of observation
is the appointment of men who
I are known opposers of the law.
1 This has a further tendency to
bring the law into disrepute.
A third point is clearly stated
by Chief Jusice Taft who de
clares that- the United States
judicial system is a disgrace.
Under which conditions every
law has less respect than when
administered as intended by
officials sworn to perform their
Guty fearlessly and impartially.
GOING A STEP FARTHER
Because some fellow doesn’t
know how to handle a car (when
under the influence of liquor)
precipitates an accident and kills
p few of our people, should we
permit him to drive intoxicated?
Some fellow crashes his airplane
(when drunk) into another
man’s roof, should we permh
everyone to drive when intoxi
cated. Some man builds a rotten
dam (owing to being intoxicat
ed) and drowns a few hundred
people, should we permit others
to make the same mistakes?
Or because a man drops a live
wire, while drunk, killing anoth
er, let the drinking one go un
controlled? Or through uncon
trolled use of liquor while build
ing a punk edifice, it crashes and
kills a few hundred, should we
permit continuation of building
when drunk; or permit a miner
to go prospecting when his phys
ical and mental condition will
rot permit him to wihtsand
the trip to the hills?
When through use, uncontroll-1
ed use of intoxicants, society is
hurt more than the personal lib
erty, should society give way to
the personal liberty?
Of snoopers, snitchers, stool
pigeons and that like of snakes
and scounderels there is no
use or respect for. Too many
times these “enforcement” offic
ers are working hand in hand
with a gang and arrest only the
petty larceny offender who is
; soaked plenty for a “record”
while the favored wholesaler is
[overlooked, in the shuffle.
‘ i There must be a solution and
it can come only of the right!
kind of education from the on
ly worthwhile source—the home.
The breakdown of the laws of
I the United States is due to the
1 jazziike indifference of the home
j father and mother. How can one
'honor his father and his mother
when they do not honor them
selves? Again, we speak gener
ally for it is our observation
that where fathers and mothers
disrespect civil and moral laws,
i heir children follow in their foot
;cps. How can water be made
lo spout higher than its source?
WE MUST PROTEECT OUR
WARDS
In the State of Oregon, lo
cated between a chain of broad
lakes on the one hand, and on
the other timber-clad peaks that
aold Crater Lake like a deep
blue jewel up to the sky, lies one
of the most beautifully situated
Indian jurisdictions in the coun
try. This is the Klamath Res
ervation, harboring some 1200
Klamath Indians.
The Klamaths are one of the
richest groups of Indians in the
United States today. They have
been plundered, but the tribe is
still worth some forty millions in
property, most of which is tim
ber.
T visited the Klamath Reserva
tion late last summer. And, as
a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wade
Crawford, highly educated, cul
tivated Klamath Indians, heard
unofficially accounts of oppres
sion, injustice, and mismanage
nent of a big estate, which no
American could listen to with
out deep indignation.
Shortly after my brief stay at
Klamath Reservation the Senate
investigating committee visited
that jurisdiction. And all that
had been told me unofficially,
end vastly more, was stated un
der oath by various Klamath In
dians during the Senate hear
ings. A copy of those hearing
lies on my desk as I write this.
This Senate investigation, by
the way, is an event of tremend
ous significance to the American
Indian. He is following it eag
erly, hopefully. Indian council
fires are burning all over the
United States today. And peti
tions are rising to the Great
Spirit.
but to return to Klamath
jBriefly, the conditions are these:
First, the Klamaths, who have
ways been great cattle breed
ers, can no longer raise cattle.
For there is no range. The range
has been ruined. In spite of the
protest of the entire tribe, the
range was leased to white sheep
men for three years. And it has
been “eaten out by sheep, clean
up to the fences.”
The Klamaths declare that
agency or to the Indian Bureau,
regarding mismanagement of
their property invariably proved
futile. Several years ago a cour
iteous ware was sent by three of
them to the Indian Commission
er protesting against their tim
ber being sold at about $3 a
thousand. (The timber price was
then rising and is now $8.) The
'ieply came to the superiritend
jent’s office. He summoned the
Indians and read it aloud as fol
lows :
“You people have no voice in
your timber. I will sell the tim
ber to whom I please at any
place at any price.”
(Ed. Note: The Honorable
j Charles Burke was Commission
j er. The Senate Investigating
Committee uncovered such a pu
trid mess that to avoid criminal
proceedings the honorable gen
tleman resigned. Any crime in
the decalogue of crimes may be
perpetrated on Indian reserva
tions by agents and others under
the Indian Bureau and oh they
have to do is resign ant. i hey are
not persecuted. Nor is this an
exaggerated statement: murder,
rape, robbery, assault; from the
v/orst to petty larceny cases, the
officials are protected by the
Indian Bureau.)
Next week: “One Injustice Af-!
ter Another.”
UNFOLDING OLD MYSTERY
The district attorney of Los
Angeles is stirring up consider
able interest in the William Des
mond Taylor murder case which
has remained unsolved since it'
commission seven years ago. At
o ney Fitts has been making a
lengthy investigation of the case
and now asserts that but one
link remains to complete a chair
of circumstances which wil
point to the murderer.
