Mr. Lane’s Report Tells of
Problems in West. Impatient
of “Washington Bureau
cracy,”
Washington, D. C. A definite, con
structive policy for the Indian, by
which he may he transformed from a
ward of tlie government to a success
ful and Integral part of the American
citizenry; a discussion of the develop
ment of the West: and a review of the
achievements of the last year, are con
tained In the annual report of Secre
tary Franklin K. Lane of the Interior
Department, sent today to President
Wilson
Three Things.
“Three things," says Secretary Lane,
"of unusual purport have marked the
life of this department during the past
year the passing of the Cherokee Na
tion. the opening of Alaska, and the
advancement of a series of measures
aimed to promote the further develop
ment of the West. These things are
apparently unrelated, yet they have
made an appeal to me as alike illus
trative of the newness of our country,
the novelty of its problems, and the
responsiveness of our government.”
Needs of the West.
In the extended discussion of the
needs and development of the West,
Secretary adverts, with notable
frankness to embarrassments which
he has encountered In dealing with the
problems presented In his department.
“it cannot be unknown to you.” the
Secretary says, "that there is through
out the country, more especially in
the Western states—which because of
their ambition are naturally Impatient
of obstruction - a very real fear of
| what Is called the bureaucracy of
Washington. This Is said to he a
system or organised machine, the
spirit of which Is to oppose action or to
effect negative action
Cynical or Malevolent,
it Is visualised as either cynical or
malevolent, altogether out of sympathy
with those who needs must come to the
government for some form of help, and
1 so wound round and round with the
! ied tape of officialdom as to resemble
■ i barbed-wire entanglement which, If
I not absolutely Impregnable, is only to
be passed through after much suffer
| ;ng and toll. it Is a matter of no tm-
I mediate concern how much basis there
is for this belief. The presence of the
belief makes It a real problem, and
the destruction of the belief a neces
| -tty. If ilia government itself Is to
remain an object of pride and Its bene
flcient efferost understood and appre
ciated ”
