blo Suggestions.
Executive Dkp't Tami.iquaii I.T
Nov. 01891
To thk National Council Gkn-
ti.emes: An-.ther year is atiilo'l
to the unknown conluries of our
nutioual existence sinco last you
met in regular session. Whatever
may ho thought of us and of our
relutive standing with other na-
tions tho dignity ol antiquity is
ours. Each year thus numbered
with the past reminds us of the
next and ol the necessary prepara-
tion to meet its wants. In a like
inannor wo aro confronted yearly
by the renewal of old demands or
new ones proposed by tho govern-
ment of tho United States to which
ut first I desire to call your atten-
tion. It is hardly necessary to go
into the details or tho merits or the
propositions offered by the govern-
ment at Washington through its
honorable commission.
It is n wretched condition of a
nation with tho solemn guarantee
of the United States to protect it
to bo always on the defensive sim-
ply with tho arms of argument and
the pitiful protestations of right
and preference. Such a condition
of affairs demoralizes industry
hinders progress and unsottlos the
aims of tho people and keeps them
In perpetual torment ot apprehen
sion It does more than this on
account of the supposed insecurity
of our government and of our com-
mon properly rendered so by what
is seeming moro a demand than a
proposition as appears from the
threatened demolition of our insti-
tutions. The inaction of tho gov
ernment to completo its obliga-
tions and our inability to protect
ourselves against inliu. ion togeth-
er with the belief that overy at-
tempt on our part to do so through
tho execution o( our laws will only
involve tho nation in other difficul-
ties and give encouragement to u
herd of intruders no less avari-
cious and unmerciful than a rabble
of camp followers in timo of war
who despoil tho rinad and rob the
defenceless.
That you may be reminded of
tho naturo of the propositions
herewith eubmlttod the following
svnopsis of thorn is tendered fur
tfiat purpose;
To divide our lauds recurving
town sites and minerals far other
disposition.
Lands to bo inrtliflnablo for twen-
ty. fivo years or longer if wanted.
To romovo unauthorized persons
from homesteads.
A final scUluiicnt ol all claims
against iho United States.
All invested funds excopt edu-
cational mid funds derived from
t)io sale of townslles of coal and
mineral and due from the United
Slates to be divided par oapltaiw-

cording to the respective rights of

A board of three persons to be
agreed upon to determine citizen
rights in the nation.
A board of three persons to bo

In the event of an agreement a

to continue until lands are allotted
and each person putin possession
then t)e chango to tako place.
Intruders to be removed as pro-
vided in the treaties which are to
remain unimpaired in that respect
if so desired. ."
Tho extent and meaning of theso
propositions aro easily understood
us lo their eflects upon our institu-
tions and tenuro of our lands in
common and what we may expect
of completo justice in all things
and of our social and business re-
lations in tho midst of a domineer-
ing ncoplo.
bile entertaining these propo-
sitions they should to be honest
with ourselves ' be carefully and
respectfully considered in the
light of our own preferences and
the preservation ot our govern-
ment. Tho policy of tho government
towards tho nations of this territo-
ry being that set forth in tho fore-
going synopsis as announced by
its authorized commission who
are to render a roport of its pro
ceedings for the information of
congress would respectfully sug-
gest that urnong your first acts you
nuthorizQ tho appointment ot a
delegation to be in readiness to
meet any movo that may bo con-
templated by reason of theso prop-
ositions. Tho present term of con-
gress is n short ono and all busi-
ness will be dono with nocessary
dispatch.
ouk lands. '
Tho fact cannot ho denied that
tho lands of our nation aro tho
very foundation of our political
existence and source of our liveli-
hood. For this reason tho condi-
tions dependent upon this asser-
tion aro of less importance to us
aa individuals than that which is
viewed by the business world as
property and by tho patriotic
home and country. Holding our
lands as we do in fee simple title
from the government of the Unit-
ed States we are absolutely se-
cure In their possession wliifo we
may not be in other respects. Ile
Inc thus secure as to interference
Willi our Mile any action on your
part as tho legislative department
urns nation to regulate their usp.
and occupancy In accordance with
the constitution will bo proper
nnd right until otherwise changed
in tho same manner and by tho
same authority. But it must bo
admitted that no departure Irom
tho present way of holding our
landiis legally possible or that In
law can bo considered permanent
or Snal without tho consent ot the
p0H
ioH.
Kvryvug established by law
ns is iho mnnnor of holding our
lands in common carries with it n.
mentioned or implied authority to
rogulato matters accordingly.
Land 4 in common is omnium in-
terest and common intercut im-
plicp equal benefits whenever the
people n a community demand
their share of equal rights and ben-
efits in the common property.
To regulate mailers according to
fixed rules tho authority to do so
cannot otherwise bo vested except
in tho law-making powor of this
nation and so it is provided in our
constitution as a necestnry moons
to keep within tho original inten-
tion the use and benefits of our
common property lh?t "Iho na-
ional council fhall havo the power
lo adopt such laws and regulations
as its wisdom may deem cxpedionl
and proper to prevent citizenp
from monopolizing improvements
with a view to speculation."
The original intention with re-
gard to our common possessions
and tho enjoyment of them ac-
cording to tho actual wants of each
citizen as evidenced by the con
stitutionnl provisions against the
monopoly of improvements for the
purpose of speculation is contem-
plated as tho legitimate right of nil.
It follows therefore that overv
citizen owns in his own rilit a
certain quantity of tho nation's ui:-
divided loud of which ho cannot
be deprived ui long as he remains
in tho country. By no manner of
arjmmont consistent with our con-
stitution can any citizen as fur-
ther evident claim on account of
possession Hie land he occupies
with any reasonable belief that he
never will bo molested while there
is a single citizen having equal
rights with himself in the common
property is without his share.
Itoom in tho common homo of tho
nation is provided for all.
Ihe legislative department be
ing tho constitutional custodian of
the nation's common property it
ih your duty to proridc for the
protection ol tne interest every cit-
izen lias in It and to see that in
its enjoyment nono are denied or
that there is room lor all.
In this connection I wou'd re-
spectfully Invito your attention to
some satisfactory disposal of in-
truder improvements in a manner
consistent with the constitutional
provision against monopoly and
so us not to interfere with another
provision that "Tho lands of the
Cherokee nation shall remain com-
mon properly."
The work of completing the ap-
praiscment of intrud-r nnjrjvc-
ments nuw in progress suggests
sortie legal disposition of such
property to bo made vacant hy
proclamation issued by the proper
authority at Washington City for
that purpose.
There is yet one other subject
with regard to our lands I wish to
recommend to your attention as
needing some legislation at your
nanus and tin t is to amend the
"Act prohibiting tho sale and re-
stripling tho lease of real eslate."
1 his law in some respects is In
operative nnd has been for n num-
ber of years or at ltat il has re-
ceived no official attention becauso
of any violation of its provisions.
I no leasing ot unoccupied Iand4

civon time for the improvement''
they put upon them. Ins been and
Is yet the lutuse of so man in-
truders in our country and of the
monopoly of improvements. The
spirit of speculation and disregard
for tho rights of others have be-
come so reckless of consequences
that nothing but determined legal
proceeding under laws enacted for
that purposo can possibly avail
against such abuse. To restrain
and correct eiich practices I would
suggest that all improvements
made under leases to non-citizens
and all improvements town lots
or parcels of land sold In non-citizens
be subject to investigation by
our circuit courts and if charges
for causes mentioned be sustained
the court to declare tho property
to be public and ho taken in charge
by the sheriff.
minerals.
As a matter that may seriously
interfere with the control of our
lands I deem it advisable that
some legislation bo had in regard
to minoral leases so as lo keep
them under easy management and
of as little causo of trouble in tho
future as possible. Tho present
law is much too liberal in some
respects and too looso in others.
Tho number of miles covered by
one single lease is tweuty-fivo
souaro miles or sixteen thousand
sijuftro acres. Taking the number
ot acres of our public domain to bo
5000000 and tho number in one
lease as provided by law 1000(1
we aro startled with - tho fact that
S12 leasos would cover tho entire
nation. This you seo is entirely
too liberal and is fraught with
much danger to tho common rights
of tho people.
Another fact Is that tho law does
not provide how much work la to
bo done within a -'iven time to
hold a lease; or whether a lease is
lo bo determined by tho discovery
of mineral in paying quantities
after so long a time is entirely too
loose considering the enormous
advantages granted to any one
citizen with tho privileizo ot sub
iicusing to a cniien oi mo yimou

THE JUDICIAltV.
As in my lust message I would
again bring to your attention such
suggestion as I deem necessary to
moro nearly perfect our Judicial
system. Ono in particular is tho
right of appeal from tho trial court
in capital cases upon writs of er-
ror J.o a full bench of the supremo
court. To protect the privilege
from possible abuse it would be
well to limit the privilege by re-
quirements specified in lay As a
furlher necessary provision sug-
gested by this subjecttho supreme
court should bo authorized to hear
orifmand ai the oase may be and
as clreuinstancoslnay require any
appeal on writ of error.
As a relative subject I would al-
so recommend as a plan to econo
mizo expenses in criminal cases
that all offenders who lail or ro.
fuse to give bond for their appear;
uuwu on uiu uiiy in triai ue piaceu
in tho national prison u.Uil want-
ed. Rather than g-i to jail tho ac-
cusod would exhaust every moans
to glvo the required bond that he
may go comparatively a free man.
To. practice to a considerable ex

Ab a necessary precaution to se-
cure safe and undisturbed trials of
murder cases and to provide for
tho possibility of exhuu-ling the

become a provision in law. Thut
there bo no abme of the privilege
it should bo guarded by restric-
tions mentioned in the act or the
circumstances named that will jut-
tify the court in giving the order.
As an expected result of our late
per capita payment maiy claims
will be presented to tho council by
persons omitted from tho pay roll.
If as in oilier payments of tho
kind such claims are heard and
satisfied without strict examina-
tion as lo their legality under the
law the amount of money set asjdo
to pay such (.hums will bo greatly
insufficient- Hut however insuffi-
cient it may prove to bo there can
be no other fund responsible for
the deficiency. This fact suggests
the propriety of close and careful
examination after the mannor of
court proceedings cither by your-
selves or by some convenient trib-
unal authorized for the purpose
NATIONAL DnnT.
Tho fiscal yo or closed tho 30th
of September 1893 shows that our
national debt including all funds
amounted to 8179990.17. Or this
amount iho sum of $157117.50 is
chargeable to the general fund;
8H.70S.-15 to the school; $7887.22
to the orphan and $1288 to the in-
sane. Up to October 22 189-1 as
reported by tho treasurer tho in-
debtedness of tho general fund
amounted to 8172471.40 by which
showing it has been increased over
that of last year by $15353.90.

to defray the expenses of the pay-
ment agferegato SGS.782 90. This
leaves on hand as a balance ot tho
8100.000 premium $31217.10. Add
to this the $5712 reservt d on the
Strip allotments we havo $30-
929.10. Taking as a precedent to
tho entire valuation of intruder
improvements what has beon
dono in that respect there will be
left of the $2.30000 set aside to
pay for such improvements a bal-
ance of about $150000. Those two
sums aggregato $180920.10 which
could not bo better applied thin
to the payment of our national
debt as it must be paid somo day
anu 11 is ueuer iu.uu so wuuo we
have the means.
This calculation if correct leaves
only $100000 ns ft sum sufficient
to pay far intruder improvements
and suggests tho inquiry how it
shall be done. Your act of Anril
15 1893 appropriating $250000
makes it the duty of iho treasurer
Up. pay out such amount in orders
or cuucbu upon iuu uimeu dimes
sub-treasury at St. Louis. This
method of paying intruders for
their improvements may not prove
satisfactory on tho grounds that a
check is not a legal tender. I
would therefore recommend so as
to avoid any delays on this ic.
count that payment be mado by
cneck or cash asmoy be preferred
It may be reasonably anticipat-
ed that in disposing of intruders
anu paying lor tnetr Improve-
ments there will bo somo attempt
ed litigation to delay or defeat tho
measure. Their removal by
agreement is tho duty of the
United States and the payment
for certain improvements is a.n
obligation of the Cherokee- nation.
Jt appears therefore that each
ono Is obligated to perform a cer
tain part of tho contract whatever
difficulties mav arle to nrevent.
In tho performance of its obliga-
tions relative to intruders certain
questions of law may require some
legal attention on pari of the na
tion in view ot sued a prob-
ability I tak.e it la be advisable to
appropriate a reasonable sum of
noney to be used if necasary
