I want to say one thing more, and that is that we made no attempt in requesting funds from P. W. A. to keep within State lines. We went after the things we needed most. I have had occasion to study the allotments that have been made, however, and have been amazed to find the more or less evenness of the entire distribution.

DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION FUNDS IN SOUTH

DAKOTA

In South Dakota, for example, I had occasion to draw a comparison between the two congressional districts, South Dakota having a rather large Indian population. There was a difference of only about $5,000 between the district to the east of the Missouri River and the district on the west side. I give that merely to indicate that we have had a reasonably equitable distribution of our whole P. W. A. allotment, and we have, of course, allotted our E. C. W. funds along the same basis.

Mr. RICH. I do not believe anybody could find fault with your distribution. Naturally, you would have to give more for Indian P. W. A. allotments to the State of Oklahoma than you would to the State of Pennsylvania, because they do not have any Indians in Pennsylvania, and therefore you would have to take care of the Indians. in Oklahoma.

Mr. DODD. Yes, sir.

DISTRIBUTION OF EXPENDITURES FOR INDIAN SERVICE BY STATES, FISCAL YEAR 1936

I offer for printing in the record at this point a statement of expenditures by appropriations and by class of funds from the regular appropriations. This statement has been printed in the hearings for a number of years past, and has been of great value to the Indian Office in particular, and, especially, in answering questions coming from various members of Congress concerning the expenditures in the various States.

Mr. JOHNSON. There is no objection.

(The statement referred to is as follows:)
