Of this amount at least $3 000 way devoted to the cau of Indian edn- cation. The report revives the change in the system of transporting supplies by wiich supplies are shipped in open mar at tariff or better | rates and estimates that this saves 20 per cent in cost Under the head of obstacles | to self-support of the Indians the report deprecates the ration system, annuity pay- , ments and the leasing of allotments. The ration system, says the report, is the corol lary of the reservation system thon In 207900, Indian population of the United States is about 267,900, of which 45,270 re- ceive a dafly ration. The ration issued and jts value vary, according to the tribe. Nearly two-iifihs of the number receiving | rations belong to the great Sioux nation | The ration bas been gradually reduced in | the last few years, in accordance with the of the Indlan bureau. If the In- claim for full rations as a right | conceded the commissioner pred that | the time when they will be self-supporting | lies in the very distant future, if it comes ut all. A number of the Indians mlso are | assisted by occasional iss id - at | eral agencies the old and indigent are pro- vided for These aggregate it 12,570, Altogother there are 97,370 Indiuns recelv- | ing subsistence in some dogree, exclusive of Indian children in boarding schiools. The | commissioner urges that the indiscriminat issuo of rations should stop at once. Tho old and helpless, he says, should be pro- vided for, but rations should be issued to the able-bodied only for labor, while | those who have been educated in Indian isxhnul.‘ should depend entirely on their own resources Annuities distributed last year $1,507,043, the per capita, down to 30 cents. The report large money payments to the Indians “are demoralizing in the extreme. They degrade the Indlans and corrupt the | whites, they induce pauperism and scandal aud crime; they nullity all the good effects of years labor people indiuce the Indian to go into debt and then the debt has accumutated and the Indfan’s credit is gone, pressure is brought to bear by the ereditors upon the wnent to pay the Indlan so that he can pay his honest (7) debts. The of | growing out of this around some of agencies is a scandal und a Alsgrace. “There is now in the | credit of Indian tribes $33,315 ing int at the rate of 4 and cont, the annual interest amounting to $1.66,485.95.
