WHAT NEGRO EDITORS ARE
SAYING
—“The only way to cure an evil or
right a wrong is by definite positive
action ..The longer the disease of
dicrimination continues the more dif
ficult will be the cure ..Human ex
perience teaches that no evil has cured
itself by sitting down hoping for a
way to open ....Hope without action
has never caused social progress ”

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US
“Our colored population represents
the evolution of the one-time African

HOW WILL
THE V01 GO?
The proposed Congressional bill to
tax all government business enter
prises on exactly the same basis as
private enterprises should not be lost
sight of- It should be brought to
a vote at the earliest possible oppor
tunity.
The bill is vitally important for
two very different reason.
First, the government is in dire
need of additional revenue—;-nd it is
becoming increasingly evident that
this cannot be safely obtaised by ad
ditional taxes on .individuals and in
dustry- Taxes are now so high that
business is lagging because of inabili
ty to attract capital and the mdivi-1
dual property owner is beisg taxed to
the point of confiscation- The total
value of government business en- j
terprises- -federal, state and local—■
runs into billions- Taxation of muni-!
cipal and federal power and light
properties alone would bring in gi
gantic sums to the treasury
Second, the public has never had
an opportunity to judge the efficien
cy of government in business—large
ly because, being free from taxes,
public enterprises have a tremen
dous advantage over private busi
nesses of the same nature- The aver
age electrical company, for example,
pays more than ten percent of its
gross—all the revenue it receives, be
fore any expenses are ededucted—to
th tax collector. The public electric
company pays nothing- Taxing all
businesses, whether public or private
would favor none—and would give
the voter an excellent yardstick with
which to mesure comparative effi
ciency.
There is not a single good reason
why government ventures which fall
within the realm of business, as dis
tinct from those performing a nec
essary ervice benefiting the entire
nation, should *ot be taxed- The
proposent of the hill is to be con
gratulated—and it will be interest
ing to see which way his colleagues

“The Fight for the Right to Vote,”
“Stimulating Cultural Achievement,”
“The Fight for Public Accomodation."
We are offering these articles in
the hope that they will prove of in

FORGES LEGAL WEAPONS
The efforts of the association re
sulted in the introduction into the Sen
ate by Senator (later Vice-President)
Charles Curtis in January' 1920 of a
resolution calling fo a Senate invest
igation of lynching. At the same
time Convressman Leonidas C.Dyer
introduced a bill in the House of
Representatives » mjaking lynching a
federal offense. Through the efforts
of the Kentucky N. A. A. C. P bran
ches an antilynching taw was passed
and signed by the govenor. A simi
law was enacted in West t irginia
and a more drastic one in Minnesota.
Through the efforts of the association
the widow of Joe Stewart, a Negro
lynched at Laurens, S. C. was award
(Hnxages of $2,000.
The long and determined fight of
the Association for a federal anti
lynching law culminated in the pass
age of the Dyer Bill in the House of
1922 by a vote of 230 to 119. The
national office with the full support
and cooperation of the branches now
pushed the fight on every front far
passage through the Senate. Great
was brought to bear upon the sena
tors from every possible source. Des
pite these efforts a combination of
abandmenx of the bill by Republican
senators and a filibuster by southern
senators, the fight was lost.
Today, after a passage of ten years
in which lynching steadily declined
until the rise from 10 to 28 last year,
the association is again fighting for
the passage of an anti-lynching law.
Coetigan and Wagnar, and in the
House of Representatives by Congress
man Thomas Ford of California.
The Association did not confine its
agitation against the lynching evil to
the United States. It sent lynching j
facts and parades with stirring pla
cards in London, France, Germany,
Italy, Russia, Japan, Sweden, Nor
way, Findland and all Latin Amer
ica, and still does. Its newspapers
and feature articles were published in
all the countries of the entire world,
and still are. Through its persistent
and intelligent publicity the Crime of
America is known wherever men
read.
NOW THAT SPRING IS
HERE AGAIN
Now that spring is here, and sum
mer is just around the corner, the
minds of millions are occupied with
plans fo vacationing.
This is an uusual year for the
traveler. so far as paying for one’s
wanderlust is concened. The cur
rent rate of exchange with most
rmorpean currencies, lor example, is
much less favorable than it was a
year ago. That American dollar
which used to be so potent has liter
ally shrunk in size. A hundred and
fifty or two hundred of them are
needed to do the woTk that a hundred
used to do.
The result is that where travelers
used to think of first is Europe, they
are now looking elsewhere. They’re
going either to countries where the
money rate is favorable—or they are
going to follow the old adage and
really see America.
Seeing America is an especially ex- 1
oellent idea. It’s a big country—and
very few of its citizens have more

ing a steadily increasing numbeT of
people who want a real vacation at

of it in terms of ice—not knowing
that certain sections produce giant
strawberries and flories. We think
of the Arctic Circle as being as far
away as the north pole—yet a little
way south of tit at Fairbanks there
is a firstclass school of mines and
an agricultural college. Wethink

AN ASSURED FARM
FUTURE
_ i
The Cooperative Division of the j
Fam Credit Administration reports ■
that amillion more animals were hand
led by farms’ cooperative sales agen
cies operating on terminal livestock1
markets in 1933 than in ’932. The
value of the increase is placed at
$7,000,000.
That record is similiar to those
made by other major cooperative
groups last year. The cotton pro
ducers, the dairymen, the fruit farm
ers of vaious sections—all of them
showed an inceasing faith in the nec
essity and efficay of the cooperative
plan. And the result was, in a dis
organized and chaotic year, that the
American agriculturist made genuine
pogTass in building for a posperous
future.
Cooperation is the keystone of agri
culture—precisely as it has been the
keystone of industry for many years.
All the government relief in the world
no matter how well Lntentioned and
how expertly administrated, can be
of but temporary benefit. It can
aid—but it cannot cure a problem.
It may carry farmers over lean
periods—but it cannot assure fat ones
The cooperatives are permanent.
Tyey are unfected by political con
siderations . They do not go out of
businees with the change f each ad

They should loyally support their.
organizations, and seek to enlist new
members. Doing that means money
in their pockets—and it means that
