Squaw Men Get Theirs Owing to the active proclivity of the Osages to marry 'with white men and women, the Home Owners se forth that laws and regulations to protect the Indian are of little or no avail.

The records bear testimony that the contention is correct. Here Is sample case from many.

A plea for consideration for the ultimate consumer was made today by Senator Thomas, Democrat of Colorado, before the Senate finance committee holding hearings on the house emergency tariff bill. K.

D. Loos, appearing on behalf of California-lemon growers, had asked for a tariff of two cents a pound on lemons. "That is a fine example of what is being asked of Congress" said the senator. VEverybod- -rhn has something to sell is seeking to exploit those who have to buy. Some may need -relief, but so does the consumer.

Why, the only tbjngs the consumer can buy cheaply now," he added, "are corkscrews and postage stamps, and he has no need for corkscrews." The witness said the' tariff sought was intended only to carry the lemon producers over the emergency. "That is" Mr. Thomas interrupted?

SLAB AWAITS THOSE WHO POWDER FACES INSIDE TABERNACLE ZION Jan. 8. Here after women in the Zion tabernacle will appear with unpowdered noses or Overseer Vohva will lecture them and slap their faces. The solemn edict was delivered today. "The tabernacle is not a boudoir," the overseer proclaimed.

"The use of the worldly powder puff is a violation of the sanctity of God's house. I have seen women in this tabernacle dabbing with powderpuffs barefacedly. It is a sacrilige and a disgrace." "I've seen women going through those contortions on trains ind on street cars," he declared. "But you'll come hwe unpowdered and you'll cover your bodies as my grandmother covered hers, or I'll lecture you and slap your faces Instead of powdering them." 'They WORK while you sleep' Don't stay bilious or constipated, with your head dull, your stomach sour, gassy, upset.

It would do the Indian no gttod whatever, in that view of it, to centime the trust period after 1931 and pay. him hereafter." Wright replied: "Absolutely, under the present method of pay- nient.

There are' no other Indians theface of the earth who are so Improvident as- the Osage Indians, simply because this money has been shoveled out to, them. The Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes, where I was for 20 years, are far more provident, because they have to work for a living. The department has repeat edly recommended, and I have been before the Senate committees and urged, that this money be paid the same as to "other restricted. Indians. In the Five Civilized Tribes Congress does not permit a payment of over $200 each per annum to restricted full-blood Indians, except under supervision, and yet payments are required to be made to these fullblood restricted Indians of over per year." And again: "Some of the halfblood3 are as improvident as the fullbloods, though I would not recommend super-visine payments' of adult mixed bloods." When Mr.

Wright was asked a second time: "Do j'ou contend that the competent Indians among them should not be allowed to take this I money and expend it?" his reply was: "No, sir; I would turn them loose absolutely and- give them everything they had and let them sell their homesteads," With the large individual incomes drawn by the Osages it may be a cause for surprise that such huge debts as are shown by records can be accummulated. But this is accounted for by the fact that many of these Indians "draw more than one share. Shares come to each tribal member upon the death of a relative under the Oklahoma laws of inheritance. In other cases the Indian parent draws and expends the money, and revenues from lands of all the minor children. A sample of the shares that are inherited is shown in the June, 1919, payment.

The records show that of 406 full bloods 226 drew cash for more than one share; some had as many as four shares by virtue of deceased Forty-eight full blood minors draw more than one share 'of the large revenues and own a like proportion of land. Of 671 mixed bloods 151 adults drew more than one share and 8 minors were thus favored. One might conclude that among people drawing as much money and possessed of as much land as are these" tribal members, debt would be uncommon but large' debts appear to be the chief holding of these favored people. Huge Personal Debts May, 1920, the eleven banks of Osage county reported as to number of depositors and the amounts deposited, also the number of borrowers and the amounts borrowed. This statement showed the largest individual deposit to be ell, 750; the largest loan to be $11,760 and the smallest $11.

There was a total number of 91 depositors with their credit. The borrowers numbered 271 and their debts amounted to $237,655. There are on file at the AgencyTiead-quarters statements of various Indians showing their indebtedness and their incomes. One man and wife whose income for 1918, 1919 to. March 15.

1920, aggregated $23,845, had. indebtedness of $19,221, indicating an expenditure of $48,066 in the time. Another full blood man and his wife had an income of $35,586 for the period' covering 19J8. 1919 to March 15, 1920; they had an indebtedness amounting to $20,544, an expenditure of $56,130. A full blood married toa part-blood Cherokee was in debt $13,518 while his Income had been $18,537 from 1918 to March 1, 1920.

Sample statements of a like charac- 1 ter could be multiplied to a very large number, but these are indicative to show that the largess of the government in caring for these Indians is not appreciated by the recipients. The names which appear on these different statements filed by creditors are among the most noted of the tribal officials; members of the council, chiefs and ex-chiefs, so it cannot be truthfully claimed that the improvidence is confined to the young and Irresponsible. It can be said to the credit of the females, that the women while numerous, do not indicate an s.uch an amount of bad financial management as do the bills of the males.
