INDIANS SUFFER
UNDER GUARDIANS

and that the guardian charged ex
pense of this suit against Allie’s
estate.
That guardians anxious to se
cure Irdian estates keep “birthday
books” to apprise them of the date
minors become of age and subject
to state court supervision over their
property.
That it co t SI6OO to administer
the SSOOO estate of another Indian.
That a guardian charged a b’H
against an estate of $2700 for gas
oline consumed during three months’
time and when questioned about it
charged the bill Off to a loan.
That administrators charged 5.82
per cent of the total income from
an estate for their services.
That guardians took $24,620, or
30.55 per cent of the total income
of another estate for their employ
ment.
Hundreds of such specific cases
are alleged by the Indian Service
of Oklahoma as reason why the
guardian system should be abolished
and the ,Indians restored to federal
control over their property as well
as their persons.
Results of a probe conducted by
the federal government in Creek
county, Oklahoma, showed that in
1895 cases either j.o reports had
been filed by the guardians for In
dians or else the reports required
by law, showing how the estate is
managed, were missing from the
files.
The probe is also declared to
have disclosed:
That in 543 cases representing It
dian guardinships in the same coun
ty, out of 2770 investigated, the to
tal receipts amounted to $3,832,-
094.90, and that the expense of ad
ministering these estates (the only
ones for which complete reports
were available) amounted to $480.-
434.33. This made the cost average
12.79 per cent of the receipts.
That the cost of administering
white estates as judged from typi
cal cases in the same court averag
ed 4.89 per cent of the receipts.
On the other hand, white guar
dians for the Indians vigorously
deny all charges made against them
by government officials a..d say they
earn every penny paid for services
rendered in looking after the prop
erty interests of their wards.
One guardian put it this way:
“A white man having an Indian
under his care is bothered almost
to death by the Indian who really
prefers a guardian because through
a guardian- he can get more money
out of his estate from the govern
ment.
“Indians having guardians come
into the guardian’s office and com
plain about toothaches a’ id all sorts
of things. Some of them even de
mand that the guardian act as es
cort for the Indian’s family and ac
company them to the theater.”

in the office of the tax receiver will
close on May Ist, after which time

NECPOES IKED
T 8 POISON COTTIJN
(Continued From Page One)
cotton plants closely and let noth
ing interefere with their being
properly poisoned. The first appli
cation of calcium arsenate should
be made 5 days before the first
squares appear on the plants. This
‘poisons the weevil's plate,’ as Dr.
DeLoach expressed the idea. Then
repeat th e poison application every
five days thereafter until four ap
plications have been used. The
second application should be made
when the first squares appear. The
third 5 days later and the fourth
still 5 days later. . Then all the
squares that have fallen off the
plants should all be carefuly pick
ed up and burned. If farmers will
do this, no additional poisoning
should be needed throughout the
season, and they should make nor
mal crops, provided they get nor
mal season and work their crops as
usual.
“But poisoning is the most im
portant of any operation in the
entire program of cotton farming
under boll wevil conditions, Noth
in,g should be permitted to inter
fere with regular and thorough poi
soning, especially early in the sea
son. Thre e to five pounds of cal
cium arsenat e to the acre should
be sufficient, and this keeps the
cost well within reason.
“And just one other thing I’d
like to say is this: Negroes farm
a considerable number of acres in
Sumter county. The yield of
these farms is essential to the prosr
perity of the whole community. To
the negro this yield is most vital.
The more cotton bales negro farm
ers unload at Americus warehouses
this fall, the more dollars th e ne
gro race as a whole will hav e to
spend with Americus tradespeople.
I want to impress these negro
farmers especialy with th e neces
sity for poisoning early and thor
oughly. I wish that their race lead
ers would take up this problem of
impressing negroes with the neces
sity of increasing their earning ca
pacity through the production of
more cotton.
“801 l weevil control is now past
the experimental stage; calcium
arsenate, it has been demonstrated
beyond all doubt, will kill the wee
vils whenever and wherever it is
properly applied. Let’s all get to
gether on this proposition of poi
soning; apply the poison early and
thoroughly, and this fall Sumter
county will experience a prosperity
unknown here during recent
years.”
Arthur Hammerstein, impres
ario, has just entered upon his
fourth matimonial venture. His
latest bride is Dorothy Dalton,
movie actress. The picture was
taken in Chicago on their wed
ding day. Hamerstein gave his
age as 51 and Dorothy said she
was 30. Miss Dalton is the di
vorced wife of Lew Cody,

BLUE LAWS’ TO BE
INVOKED IN SO. GA.
THOMASVILLE, April 26.
Thomasville on Sunday, probably;
will be about as cpiiet a town as
exists anywhere in Georgia. The
grard jury which has just adjourn
ed went on record, as insisting that
home steps be taken by police and
county officers to prevent the sale
of ar-ything on Sundays except
for “necessity or charity.” This
is one of the most interesting state
ments made by a grand jury in
sometime and will bring forcibly to/
the front the matter of Sunday
regulations, sometimes called “blue
laws.” The matter is squarely pre
sented for action.
