rVESTDAHL HAS
DIESEL ENGINES
The tender Westdahl, com
peted for the exacting work of
he U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Purvey at the yards of the Al
>ina Marine Iron Works, Port
and, Oregon, has just passed
acisfactory trials and been ac
epted by the Government. She
s- 77 feet over all, 15 feet 6 in.
>eam, and draws 6 feet.
This new 90-ton vessel is a
narked departure from previous
■ypes of surveying tenders con
structed for the Coast Survey, in
hat a steel hull with complete
Icuble bottoms and Diesel po
ver, have been substituted for
vcod and steam.
It is intended for surveying
operations in localities unsuited
,o the larger sea-going vessels,
ouch as inland waters of consi
lerable size and inshore work
along exposed coasts. Such ai
vessel must combine sea-going
qualities, rugged construction
and manuvering ability, and
have ample fuel and fresh water
space and comfortable quarters
for a complement of from 12 to
15 officers and crew.

Does Slavery Still Exist?
ww
-X
continued from last week
Nearly a quarter of a million
Indians, pent up on their reser
’ vations, are still denied any
voice in the management of
their property or the education
of their children; still denied
the right to live where and as
they please; still denied vertual
ly all privileges guaranteed un
der the Constitution; still treat
ed iike savages and incompe
tents and subjected to cruelty
and injustice probably unequal
ed in any land.
In defrauding the Indian we
have been fairly shrewd on the
whole. And yet there has been
a certain grim humor in the sit
uation.
Try as we would to select ut
terly worthless wastes to banish
the Indians to, the joke has fre
quently turned on us. Good
farm lands we deny them. Yes.
The descendants of those whom
we exiled to the barren lava
beds, for example, are today ex
isting in miserable shelters made
of sticks and rags and are dying
of starvation and despair. Ev
en the resourceful Indian could
dn nothing with lava. And there
are many groups in the various
States as pitifully situated. The
majority of the Indians to-day
|are desperately poor!
I On the whole, we accomplish
ed our purpose Many tribes
have been obliterated. Others
are threatened with extinction.
In some cases, however, cur
I judgment erred. We drove a
number of tribes up into the
timbered mountains. Timber!
Later it proved worth a fortune!
And we did not lorsee coal. Nor
did it occur to us that deserts
might possibly spout oil. Or that
the Indians, with their ancient
knowledge of irrigation could
make even a wilderness blossom
—and show us what valuable
water power we had thrown
away.
As it gradually became evident
that the Great Spirit had not
permitted all his red children to
be left destitute, as the value of
their timber soared, as their -wa
ter power became precious, as oil
began to bubble from the sand
of their desert wastes, the cupid
ity of unscrupulous white men
became inflamed. And there
commenced in this country a
ruthless, prolonged raid on In
dian estate, which appears to be
at its climax today. Forty-one
'million dollars of reimbursable
debts have been saddled on the
Indians for roads, bridges, irri
gation systems, and other pro
jects of benefit chiefly to whites.
Of this sum the patient In
dians have paid already some
eleven millions. The remainder
hangs over them.
The Indian estate, meantime,
iias been shrinking steadily. The
diminution, in four years, thru
1926, was 4 per cent a year, total- j
mg $122,000,000. (This state- j
ment takes no account of the j
estimated oil and mineral val
ves, but covers all tangible,
measurable, known property,
both tribal and individual—that
is, lands, houses, timber, cattle,
and money.) It is necessary to
point out that the dwindling of
any estate at 4 per cent a year
means complete annihilation in
25 years. Such has been our re
cord as “guardian” of the Indian
people!
In every section of the coun
try the Indian problem today is
different from that of every oth
er. There are Indians who are
:n desperate want, having been
c.enuded by the white race of all
they owned. These need cur
immediate care. There are other
tribes who, though heavily rob
bed, still possess assets. These
should be rescued before their
jesidue is gone. There are still
others whose potential wealth
in oil or v/ater power is just being
guessed at—just attracting the
attention of the predatory in
terests. These Indians should
be given the utmost protection
our civilization can afford.
