Slri" la Sepumbef I called your attention to complaint at th re newal of th oil lease on six hundred and eighty thousand acres of Osage Indian Tribal , lands. , Tou lgnorsd ths matter. . On October fifth, having further prassurs for Investigation, of th un just character of that lease, and hav ing ascertained from that the Osage, being our citizens, it wss my duty be yond question to demand of you as th Chief Guardian of these particu lar lands, an explanation as to what good reason. If any. ther might hhv been for the renewal of the lease, at conditions fixed by you. I, on that Am .Via In.mnl Hrnnand Of YOU in writing. October ninth, the Acting Secretary of th Interior, writing as he stated, on aocount of your having referred my letter to him, his explanation wss that you had nothing to do with ths lease, except fixing the compensation that th land owners were to receive. I was not satisfied with ths answer because that was ths very thing we objected to, namely, the grossly In adequate compensation to th land owners, whloh was the real complaint. On October twelfth, I answered you, referring to the Interior Department's explanation, and stating to you: (a) . That you had refused to give the Osages an opportunity to .pro duce evidence before you to show the amount of compensation Justly due to them as ths land owners. (b) That ths oil field, of which their lands were a part, was an es tablished, rich, producing field, where royalties and bonuses to land owners were established by long practices and precedents. (c) That among the lowest averages the Osages were at that time entitled to at least seven million dollars cash bonus and ons-slxth royalty. (d) That ths Indian Territory Il luminating Oil Company, a sub of the Standard Oil Company, as the as signee of the original Foster lease, was by subletting this same Osage prop erty to operating companies, receiv ing much more as a bonus than ths Osages would receive as ths owners of 1 ths land on a one-sighth basis (e) That against ths original Judg ment of ths Department of the In terior and upon the request of Messra Guffey, Barnsdals, Senator Depew and other weliidcnown agents of the Standard Oil Company, you had granted an extension of th leas on this six hundred and eighty thousand acres of land at th grossly Inade quate compensation of one-eighth royalty and not on cent of cash bonus. . Pursuing my duties to th Osage Indians as citizens of our State, I re quested that you cancel that leass to the ond that th Osage Indians might havs an opportunity to receive by competitive bind or otherwlss, an In come from ths on values or tneir lands. which they could readily ob tain qual to the average obtained by the adjoining Kna owner to in north, east and th south of their lands. ' I am to-day In receipt of the fol-1 lowing letter (ram your Cecretary of 8tate: s C. N. Haskell. n , ' . A - 1 61r: Tour letter of October 12th, 1(08. to th President of the United 8tates, and signed by you as Governor of Oklahoma, has been referred to the Department of Stat, which is charged with the conduct of corres pondence between the President and the chief executive of th several States. The character of this communica tion, which I understand to be mainly false and which I percelv to b whol ly Insolent, Is such that I am forced to recard it as a device to attract from the President for the purpose of a personal controversy a degree of notice wmcn yourself wouia -not re ceive personally. Respect for the State of Oklahoma, upon which you have inflicted th Injury of signing such a letter over your title as Gov ernor, leads me to acknowledge Its receipt The substance of ths com munication precludes any further of ficial notice of it. Very respectfully, (Signed) ELIHU ROOT. I regret that my duty forces me. Mr. President, to decline to havs this gross injustice to two thousand citt- sens of our Stats disposed of by side stepping or evasion. Tour secretary of State says T am insolent Mr. President. If honest adherence to my duties la Insolence. then 1st It bo insolence, but that ab surd statement from your Secretary of State will not be accepted aa a substitute for fifteen or twenty mil lion dollars due to th Osace Indiana Mr.. President- your . Secretary of Stat say my demand Is a devlc to attract from th president tor. th purpose of a personal controversy a degree of notice which I could proba bly not receive personally. ,,, Mr. Presldsnt It 1' Immaterial to ma what construction your Secretary of State desire to put upea my de mand, la hi attempt to shield you. I do not seek prominence, but I do seek justice for thOsagea had shall not permit th Standard OH Company to benefit to the extent of fifteen or twenty million dollar honestly due to ths Oaage simply because it , la a friend of Tour, v.. - Indeed Mr. President, this expres sion from th Secretary of Stat 1 ludicrous la view of ths fact that you ome two weeks ago descended from the dignity that your predecessor ha established for the high . . offlc of Presldsnt and sought to ' carry m down with you to the level of petty precinct politics. ... ; " " 5 -This ettort to fluctuats from ths highest respect In the land to the lowest practice has never been equal ed la the extent of its fluctuations t hi ntered stock On tn maraew s Is possible that your astute Secretary of Stats might hav advised you at that tlm to your,owa advantage, as his twenty-six years experlenc at his law offlcs : In Wall StreetM-wher he ha guided the greatest corporations of th Jand with his advlc. would douhtless thsa have saved you from the humiliation- that i- your reckless and unreliable political associate. Mr. HearsV led you into,- But aside with political discussions The question a of whether th Osag Indians shall hav ths ordinary value of ths oil upon their land, as adja cent land ' owners acting upon their own behalf are able to obtain, or whether w shall permit you to make the Standard Oil Company a present of, the greater part of these oil values is a business proposition. I represent the personal rights and interests of the Osage because they are citlsens of Oklahoma, . You ars simply th chief guardian of these particular lauds. Justice to the Osage requires ths cancellation of th leass which you havs mad with out their knowledge or consent, and with respect to your high office and th most generous construction I could put upon your act would be that that lease was made through Ig norance of conditions or undue haste at the solicitation of th agencies above referred to. . Let It be considered as settled fi nally you will either cancel that leass yourself or th authorities of the State of Oklahoma will present the matter to Congress as soon as it as sembles, and see if that body will be deaf to a righteous demand for Jus tice.
