![["Mrs. M. D. Myrick sent a letter to Congressman W. G. Stigler regarding proposed bills concerning the Ohio Royal Shawnee Indians and the Black Bob Band. The document was then referred to Congressman George B. Schwabe, who is a member of the House Committee on Indian Affairs. Schwabe informed Mrs. Myrick that the committee is currently conducting hearings on proposed measures relating to Indian claims and suggested that it would be more appropriate to establish an Indian Claims Commission rather than giving jurisdiction to the U. S. Court of Claims. Schwabe stated that he is unable to pass an act authorizing the Court of Claims to assume jurisdiction of the claims at this time, especially since a bill seeking to establish an Indian Claims Commission is pending. He offered to keep Mrs. Myrick's papers unless she wanted them returned."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_5_55_0004.jpg "Proposed Legislation for Indian Claims: A Letter from Mrs. M. D. Myrick")

![["The document consists of a series of letters discussing the Voorhees Bill (H.R. 97) which is being debated in Congress. The bill is opposed by various individuals, including Congressman George B. Schwabe, due to its provisions that would give the government power to intervene in private patent suits, mandate compulsory licensing of patents, and allow for the cancellation of patents. The documents express concerns about the potential negative impact of the bill on property rights, innovation, and research. Schwabe reassures constituents that he and his committee are not in favor of the bill and will carefully consider all aspects before making a decision. The documents highlight the importance of constituent feedback in informing legislative decisions."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_6_5_0013.jpg "Opposition to the Voorhees Bill: Correspondence with Congressman Schwabe")

![["In the letter dated March 6, 1945, Mr. George B. Schwabe discusses his intention to introduce a bill in Congress to create a commission to investigate the individual competency of Native Americans and the removal of their restrictions. He believes that many intelligent Native Americans are capable of handling their own affairs and should no longer be considered restricted by the government. However, he also recognizes the need for a competency board to assess the qualifications of individual Native Americans before removing restrictions. He suggests that members of the commission should be selected from the tribes themselves and that the findings of the commission should be final, with the Secretary of the Interior issuing orders based on their determinations. Mr. Schwabe seeks input and suggestions from Mr. F. W. Files, an attorney with experience working with Native Americans, on the proposed bill."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_5_55_0011.jpg "Proposal for Competency Commission for Indian Affairs")
