Federation Does Not Want to Pillage the Treasury
Pay “Hein" and Get
Rid of Indian Affairs
(Continued from Page 1)
haa sustained and given good account
of himself, and will continue to do
so, when unhampered by a group of
nurse-maids of highly questionable
ability and understanding as to the
fundamentals which must enter into
a program of economic security of
any race — the goal of mankind
throughout the world today. The
bureau! the bureau! supported by the
taxpayers' money gets the attention
of Congress, and the taxpayers’ mo-
ney — nearly all, judging from the
past few years. And the Indian gets
nothing.
THE TAXPAYER
What of him! he is paying the bill,
which, after 114 years, remains un-
paid — SI,600,000,000 of unpaid In-
dian claims against his government;
for broken and violated treaties with
the Indians. He should be tired and
disgusted with it all— he would be if
he knew the facts. He would destroy
this farce; this extravagance, this
un-American program — overnight.
SOLUTION
The American Indian Federation
proposes that Congress pay to ALL
Indians of the United States the mo-
ney which it will appropriate for the
use of the Indian bureau for the next
twenty years, which, measured by
appropriations of the past three
years, will amount to a per capita
payment of over J3.000 to every en-
rolled Indian or his or her heirs in
the United States — in full and final
settlement of all claims of the Indi-
ans against the federal government.
In this way the taxpayer will rid
himself of the Indian as a ward of
the government; pay the just claims
of the Indians and stop the ever-in-
creasing flow of public moneys to
maintain the Indian bureau for the
Indians ? ? ? ?
We invite our Indian people and
the tax-paying public to unite with
us in this effort.

Taxpayers Relieved of
Bureau Operation Cost
Since 1931, including appropria-
tions for 1939, two per cent of Fed-
eral expenditures would create a
fund approximating the amount
($1,200,000,0001 The American In-
dian Federation is asking be paid
to the Indians in settlement of brok-
en treaties and promises on the part
of the Federal government to the In-
dians, dating back 150 years. And,
the taxpayer would lie getting rid of
the Indian as a ward of the govern-
I ment, pay the government’s obliga-
j tiem to the Indians and do away of
j the Indian bureau forever with its
mounting annual costs.
The purpose of the Federation is
not to take the dome off the capitol
at Washington or pillage the Treas-
ury justice, simple justice in a com-
i promise settlement with the Federal
1 government is all we ask

Indian Problem a “Myth”
The so-called “Indian problem” is a myth. Purely In-
dian activities in the life of the present-day Indian is a dis-
tinct harm to the Indian.
Indians have played a great part in the development of
Oklahoma; helped write the state constitution and enact,
interpret and enforce the laws thereunder.
The tom tom and tepee are gone forever. The Indian
of today is a real man in the world of the white man; as he
was a real man in the world of the red man. one, two, three
and four hundred years ago.
The Indian needs and is entitled to a final and com-
plete settlement of his affairs with the federal government.
