![["The document is addressing concerns about a proposed Memorial Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri, and why it should not be approved. The reasons include opposition from the City Plan Commission, fraudulent bond issues, lack of funds for construction, legal disputes, existing memorials to Thomas Jefferson, potential displacement of industry and workers, and a four-year delay in progress. The document urges the recipient to consider these reasons and not support the project."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Regarding Jefferson Memorial Plaza Funding")
![["The memorandum discusses a bill proposing an appropriation for the Osage Tribe of Indians in the amount of $776,742.03, which was the net proceeds from the sales of Osage lands by the United States. The Attorney General suggests that if Congress decides to make a payment to the tribe, they should refer the matter to the Court of Claims to determine the amount owed after considering set-offs and counterclaims. The memorandum also highlights various set-offs and counterclaims that have been rejected or accepted by the Court of Claims in similar cases. It suggests that Congress should consider reducing the claims of Indian tribes against the United States by the amounts expended by the Government on their behalf."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Analysis of S. 670: Appropriation for Osage Tribe Lands")
![["The document is a series of letters regarding the Osage Civilization bill, with discussions on the proposed measure, interest rates, counterclaims, and the involvement of various parties such as the Osage Tribe, Congressman Disney, Senator Thomas, and Attorney F.M. Goodwin. There is a focus on the need for the bill to provide for interest on delayed payments to the Osages, as supported by a recent Supreme Court decision. The documents also mention the potential for delays in obtaining a report from the Interior Department and the importance of introducing the bill to move the issue forward."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Proposed Legislation for the Osage Tribe of Indians")
![["The document discusses the Indian Claims Commission Bill and the opposition to it. The writer, Mrs. Scott, expresses her disagreement with creating a new government agency for Indian affairs and believes that settling claims should be done without the need for a new commission. She also mentions the different approaches of the Republican and Democratic parties to Indian claims settlement. The Congressman, George B. Schwabe, defends the bill and explains that it was the result of careful study and input from various parties interested in the welfare of the Indians. He also mentions that the bill was supported by both Democrats and Republicans."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Debating the Indian Claims Commission Bill")
![["Mr. Blackwolf wrote a letter expressing his frustration with the Indian Service, stating that Indians are unable to get information from agency officials and often do not receive replies to their letters. He recommends closing Indian Agencies and distributing lands and funds to tribe members. Senator Moore introduced a bill to abolish the Indian Bureau in the last Congress, but it received little support. Elmer Thomas, responding to Blackwolf, expresses the prevailing opinion that the Indian Bureau should be retained and that qualified Indians should apply to have their restrictions removed. Thomas appreciates Blackwolf's viewpoint and invites further suggestions or recommendations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_3_82_55_0000-Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Committee%20on,%20Indian%20Affairs,%20Alaskan%20Settlement%20Claims,%201948-1949,%201950/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_3_82_55_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns and Recommendations for the Indian Service")
