Reduction for Indians in Indian appropriation bill
The House Committee on Indian Affairs finished the Indian appropriation bill totaling 7,244.26 dollars with a budget of 9,878.48 for the year. The chief cut equals 2,000,000 dollars from treaty-required items, and miscellaneous expenses are about 1,000,000 dollars below current law. No cut to Indian schools. The measure opens Indian mineral lands for development except those in Indian Territory and allows appeals to the Supreme Court for Cherokee intermarried citizens from Court of Claims rulings. A 1902 provision repeal assigns certain lands to White River Utes south of Strawberry River on Uintah.
