TITLE TWENTY-FIVE

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Department of the Interior:

As requested, there is enclosed a list of sections of the United States Code relating to Indian affairs (Title 25) which have become obsolete.

MCCLENON:

Title 25, Secs. 26-28, 30, 38. These sections may probably be regarded as obsolete on the ground that there are in fact no Indian agents at the present time.

R. S. 2052 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 26): Appointment of agents by President

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Department of the Interior:

What were formerly known as Indian agents are now designated as superintendents, and appointments to such positions are made through regular Civil Service channels. The above section is now obsolete and should be repealed.

MCCLENON:

27 Stat. 120; 30 Stat. 573 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 27): Detail of Army officers as Indian agents

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Department of the Interior:

The practice of detailing Army officers to act as Indian agents no longer obtains. This is unnecessary and not in accordance with Civil Service procedure. This section is therefore obsolete and should be repealed.

MCCLENON:

R. S. 2056, as amended by 22 Stat. 87 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 28): Term of office of agent

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Department of the Interior:

Superintendents are at present not appointed for any definite term, but hold their positions until separated as determined by the needs of the Service or their own wishes. This section is now obsolete and should be repealed.

MCCLENON:

R. S. 2060 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 30): Residence of agent

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, De-
partment of the Interior:
This provision is now obsolete
and should be repealed.

MCCLENON:

R. S. 2061 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 38): Visits to Washington by agents in California

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Department of the Interior:

There is under present conditions no necessity for any restrictions against California employees of the Indian Service visiting Washington. Visits by employees in that State are on the same basis as visits of employees who happen to be located elsewhere in the Service, and there is no need of any specific legislation. This section should therefore be repealed.

MCCLENON:

R. S. 2080 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 72): Abrogation of treaties

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Department of the Interior: Actual hostility toward the United States on the part of any tribe of Indians is no longer experienced. This section is therefore obsolete and should be repealed.

The Office of Indian Affairs advises that it has no objection to the elimination of Sections 91, 92, 94 and 334 of Title 25, Indians, they having been superseded by other sections or later provisions of law.

MCCLENON:

It appears unlikely that a situation could hereafter arise in which this provision (Sec. 72) could be operative.

The subject matter of sections 91, 92 and 94 appears to be substantially provided for by section 93 of this title, which was enacted later and hence may perhaps be regarded as superseding the sections in question.

R. S. 2083 (U. S. C. Title 25, Sec. 91): Purchase of goods for Indians

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, De- MCCLENON:

partment of the Interior:

In view of other general statutes governing the purchase of supplies for the Government, and in view of the present regulations of the Department placing more responsibility on the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, this section appears to be no longer necIt is believed that this essary. section should be repealed.
