Expenditures on Indians and Trust Funds Policy Debated
A Washington dispatch reports that total government outlays for the Indian service from 1780 to 1900 reach 68 950 217 dollars. For the year ending July last, education costs exceed 3 330 000 dollars. Rations and trust fund distributions provoke calls to curb dole, favor education, and reform per capita payments. The report warns demoralization risk, urges targeted aid, and outlines two proposed remedies including gradual fund extinction with school maintenance or per capita land division.
