A Tangle of Laws.
Kansas City Journal
A peculiar complication of laws has
come to light in Indian Territory. It Is a
typical result, however, of the tangle -of
legislation which has been passed with the
view of bringing a settled order of things
to I hat badly governed territory.
The early statutes distinctly give the
Indians of the Chickasaw nnd Choctaw
nations the right to lease their lands; and
In the exercise of this right these Indians
made many good and valid leases. Stat-
utes of a subsequent date, however, pro-
vided that "the certificate of allotment Is-
sued by the Dawes commission shall bo
conclusive evidence of the title of the
allottee to the tract of lHnd described
therein, and the United States Indian
woman of Oklahoma that would be de-
rived from statehood Is very much
greater than Is seemingly apparent.
While the present territorial form of
government is Indisputably efficient
and pleasing and, more than is common
In such
people, It Is a fact, established by the ] for

a time, but the chief advantage wont

collapsed the buying diminished, and

crop were Injured. The laws of supply

In the face of such testimony against it

How the Indian agent. Mr. J. Hlair Sho-
er.felt, understands that this statute Im-
iv duty upon him to put every Indian
allottee In possession of his land and to
all other persons, even lessees,
therefrom that the Indian expresses nn
objection to; and Mr. Shoenfelt Is proceed-
ing to act rigorously In accordance with
this Interpretation, lie claims that he Is
amenable to no writ of court In the ex-
ercise of his authority, and that if the
lessees b®VP an* rights they must first
submit to the ouster, nnd then. If they de-
sire. go Into court to establish them. The
lawyers of the Interior department seem
to support the agent in the stand he has
taken.
The results of Mr. Shoenfelt's action
have been disastrous to many lessees.
There is a widespread feeling of Insecurity
among tho occupants of leased lands.
They nil know that if their red-skinned
landlords take the notion the wish v
be accomplished simply by filing an c
jection with Agent Shoenfelt. 8uch
harsh and Inequitable complication of the
land rights could occur nowhere except In
Indian Territory.
