lieves tho reservation system Is

opinion that the Indians of tho five
civilized tribes bhould receive home
steads of twenty acres each and bo
allowed to sell tho romalndcr ot the!
land at once tho government to put

let tho Indians sell for less.

handlo money they cannot handle
land. Ho would have tho land sold
at once that It may becotno taxahlo
