DO YOU WANT A REPRESENTATIVE TO THE
STAT ELEGISLATURE
Detions are now being circulated in Douglas County call
* ing for the placing on the ballot of a pdoposed amend
ment to the constitution whereby there shall be one legis
late of the State Legistature, rather than a House of Re
presentative and a State Senate as at present and that
there shall not be less than thirty mmbers in the new house
nor more than fifty.
Voters shall e called upon to consider just what this
will mean. It will mean the further removal of the gov
ernment from direct control of the people and the loss of
the alaneing power of the two houses. To the Negro
voter it means much greater disaster. It means t#e re
districting of consolidation of legislative districts and
loss forever of a Negro representative at the State Capital.
You should therefore rfuse to sign these petitions
and preserve your only safe guard, the right of represen
tation.
CALIFORNIA’S LESSON
(From he Omaha World Hearld—Monday, May 14, 1934)
Wednesday night near Los Angelts two masked men
kidnapped from his efstate William F. Gettle, a wealthy
©il man.As they carried him off they answered a friend’s
remonsrance with the snarl: “No soft stuff. We’re here j
here for business. This is kidnapping.”
This incident reminds one inveitably of the kidnap
ing in California last year of Brooke Hart, of his murder,
and of the lyching at San Jose of Hart’s abductors, to
gether with Governor Rolph’s comment: “This is the best
le&son that California has ever given the country- We
show the nation that this state is not going to tolerate
kidnapping.”
Governor Rolph thus had condoned one of the great- j
est crimes against society, a crime greater even than kid
napping—lynch law. The truth is now brought home to
jlim that any concession to violence, no matter by what
Dretext, breeds more wiolence. The war upon kidnappers
ivas hurt, rather than helped, by the San Jose lynching.,
California now gives that lesson to the nation. One hopes j
Governor Rolph has learned it at last.

Editorial Of The Week
(From the Birmingham “Post”,Birm
ingham Alabama)
The Negro and NRA
It is not surprising that the Na
tional Recovery Act has not solved
the complicated economic and social
•problems that revolve about the Ne
gro- The problems are as old as
the nation and go to the roots of our
thought and life
Yet conditions today seem to de
mand that employers both in the
North and South face the Negroo
problem more frankly and that NRA
itself give further consideration to
the claims of those representing Ne
gro workers.
NRA is committed to the principle
of reviving business by increasing
the purchasing power of those who
buy the products of business- There
seems no good reason why it should
ignore 12 million Negrooes as po
tential purchasers and consumers
Yet where Negroes are included at
al in the NRA codes the wages speci
fied for them are uniformly too low
to act as a possible stimulus to busi
ness- Many a business in Alabama
and elsewhere might flourish on the
trade of the Negro, if it were given
a chance to do so
When code revisions occur next
month, definite steps should be taken
to huild up Negro purchasing power
by providing for higher wages than
at present under the blue eagle

WHY DON’T WE STAND HITCHED,
By George W. Hibler
I
Dear Mr. Editor:
I would like to ask the reading
public through your paper, just why
one Harry Leland, an Oil inspector,
Bryan, appointee, has hastily beat
it to Washington? After the Gov
enor has taken care of him for 4
years, how could he be so disloyal at
this time, and hop in this manner.
The Mir- Leland is trying now to en- j
trench himself with the new gang, j
When the going gets tough and |
power has been exhausted where will
he go then? Just because his gang
looks up to him, Mr- Leland is trying
to hop, forgetting how his gang has
been to him- Such a person, to m is
an ingrate or should I have said an
“end-gate.” i
Mr- Leland, I would like to ask of
you, just who—are you going to give
“all” of that immaginary Political
strength of yours? Are you going
to support th new gangs interests
or the old gang. They are opposing
each other foj. the Senate
Gov. Bryan picked you out of the
slums and put you on your feet, why
don’t you try to stand hitched just
one more time and go with the old
ship if it goes down

plank on advocacy of a general sales
tax to replace the present tax on 1
homes nd farms. He also advocates
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
believing that it cannot be properly
eru\.freed with the liiV-onai govrn
mnt and neighboring states being wet

should function more advantageously
to the depostors of the state banks
than it has in the past.

the Young Republican club of 1932 j
and served as a member of the exxecu
tive committee. He also organized j

ares and the elections
Congresman Edward R- Burke,
Nebraska’s Congressman of the sec
ond Congressional District, is loved
by all of his friends and admired
by his enemies- Congressman Berke

finest type of Douglas citizens. But
unfortunately someone has coaxed him
to announce, we believe his enemies,
his political death
Govenor Charles W- Bryant w'ill
eat him so ad for the Democratic
nomination that he wont know he
is in the race, when the ballots are
counted
|. Robert Smith, the popular Clerk
i of the District Court was running
1 smooth on all eight cylinders up until
! somebody brought Senator Kenneth
■ S- Wherry of Pawnee City, Nebraska’s
name to the surface- With Robert
1 Smith. Bailer Dunn, Malcolm Bald
ridge, Huey Butler in the Republican
nomination for United Senator, we
are afraid it will cut up the pie in
too many pieces for anyone of them
receiving any benefit that will help
them on their shortcomings out in
the state
That will leave a real battle ground
in the northwestern part of the State
Senator Wherry will carry Southeast
ern part of the State and has a fair
chnce to get an even break in the
southwestern part of the State
San Klaver, Herman Friedlander,
; and Arthur McCaw are claiming now
they are going to give him a real

Talking things over
Every Bannana That Leaves
The Stalk Gets Skinned”
"UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED
WE FALL”
To some of my readers, this may
seem to e a rather peculiar topic to
discuss. But, little as you may think
of it, it is one of the most vital prc
lems facing the Negro today Every
Bannana that leaves the Stalk gets
Skinned.”
Dear reader, follow me on this sub
ject, and picture yourself in a grocery
store, looking upon a stalk of ban
nanas- It will be easy for you to
understand n^y topic more clearly
You look at that bunch of bannanas
and there is something that attracts
your attention- Those bannas are ripe
yellow, healthy looking articles, and
above all are clnging to one stalk
Every bannana is hanging from the
same position and each one that is
pulled off leaves a space, showing that
one or more is missing- There are
no bruised ones, because if a canana
becomes bruised or no good, as we
wouui call it, t is taken down and
cast aside, because if it is allowed to
r-sman there, t will more than likely
ruin the others- The Grocer does
for the purpose of aving his stalk, and
the ones that are taken from the stalk,
are usually sold at bargin price, be
caue they are at the stage, where they
cannot be held much longer
Now, you notice someone coming in
to the store- They purchase from the
clerk, some bananas- The bananas
are torn from the stalk- From that
moment those bananas are doomed
1 heir minutes and even their very sec
onds are numbered. Why? Because
when they leave that stalk, when the
person purchases them, it is witn one
purpose, to skin them and eat tiicm
So, wth the Hliman family, special
ly the Negroes- We will compare
them with bananas- We will take
the Negro race, a a whole, to be the
stalk- the individuals as the bananas.
Now s long as the Bananas stay on
that stalk, in other words, as long
as they stick together, they have no
, thing to worry about- But the mo
| ment one banana leaves that staik.
i he is in danger, he is not sure of any
, thing; there is always the danger of
1 his being skinned
The Negro race of today, is con
tinually being skinned, and being
nJihed- Why? Because they have
an lett the stalk- Each one is fight
ing the other. Instead of trying to
hit one another up, they are contin
ually pushing one another down- They
are continually skinning one another
Now for instance, take the white race
They are always trading and employ
ing their own people- By doing tnis
there is always positions for their
younger generation that comes out of
school- This being an inducement for
their younger generation to go on
through school and equip themselves
so as to be able to place themselves
upon the stalk of the business world
On the contrary, the Negro has put
VvJ<ut few nducments, because there
j are 1000 chances for the white youth
that go through school to every one
chance for a colored youth- Why, be
cause the white business makes a
new chance every day fr hs youth
j by sticking to their stalk
Until the Negro gets it through his
head that to get anywhere, or, to
get anything, you first must have
(.•operation; until he realizes the old
saying, “United we stand; Divided
we fall-" Until he quits fighting
against his felowman and begins fight
ing for him, he will continue to be
down- He will have no need to ex
pect anything else There will con
tnue to be lynchings, brutal, merciles
heatrless lynchings- The young Ne
gro youths will continue to come out
of schol with nthing t do- There will
continue t be no opportunities for
his youth that come out of universi
ties and colleges by the thousands
each year
Did you ever stop to picture this
situation? It is truly heartbreaking,
to any Negro man or woman that has
the least bit of loyality for his
group. If there were only some word
or some deed or act that could be done
or said that could make the Negro
race see the mistake they are making
There is only one thing inded, and
with that one thing, there would come
a change- That is cooperation, not
half hearted cooperation, but full
hearted, non breakable cooperation.
As long as the colored race con - i
tmues to feel tht its members are no |
good, and that the white person can
complete a job better than the Neg.-o,
the race will continue to be down- As
long as the Negro continues to spend
his money with other groups and have
other groups do their general work,
the white youth will continue to be
the ones to have thet places
If the Negro will make up his mind
tx> ooopl-ate with sfach other* to
trade with their own people or not
at all, the race will begin to stand out
in the public eye. Their chldren will
halve places of employment; there
will b no lychings; there will be
places of employment for the Negro
as well as the white: the white people
A^ill begin to ^respect the colored
They will give them what they de
mand- It is not up to one or two of
th race, to make ths dream come true,
it is up to every individual, every sin
gle person whose skin is tanned the
least bit
Remember my saying “Every Ban
ana tht Leaves the stalk Gets Skin
ned” Examine yourself,and find out
if you are in danger of being skinned
If you are, remedy it right away,
before you are bruised and can not
return, for fear of brusing someone
else- Remember this, that unless you
place your money with one of your
race, so as to give him the buying
power, so that he can buy in greater
quantities, the cheaper the merchants
prices are quoted to him- He can
not sell to you as cheap as the other
race, who has the full strength of his
people and this is the foundation ot
all successful merchants
Friends, above til, when a bill comes
up in Congress, or in any othei place
that is going to benefit you- suci.
as the Costigan-Wagner anti lynch
bll, be as the stalk of bannas, cling
together, and do inot be skinned away

SOUTH FACES DIFFL*
CULT PROBLEM OF
FINANCING SCHOOLS:
COMMITTEE FINDS
Fourteen Southern States are mak
ing a greater effort too support pub
lic educaton, considerating their per
capita wealth, than the average Stte
Despite this effort it would require
more than $400,000,000 additional
expenditures to bring outlays for ed
ucation up to the national averages
Furthrmore, it would require ap
proximately $40,000,000 additional
expenditue to bring outlays for the ed
cation of Negro children up to the
average for white children in these
fourteen states
These facts are among the findings
of the committee on financial support
of the Natonal Conference on the
Education of Negroes called by Secre
tary Harold Ickes at the Department
of the Interior, Washington D. C-,
9-12- Dr- Fred McCuiston of Nash
ville, Tenn-, is chairman of the com
mittee which has been studying the
problems of financial support for
Negro schools foj. many months
Following is a summary of findings
of the committee, and its conclusions:
Since 80 per cent of the 11,891,143
Negroes in the United States live in
the fifteen Southern States where a
seperate school system is maintained,
it follows that any study of consider
ation by the Committee on support
of Negro Education would deal pn
marly with this area- It was not pos
sible for the Committed to gather any
particular facts regarding expendi
tures out side the South,though we
made a number of comparisons be
tween sections and States-•
Ability and Effort of the South to
Support Education:
According to the Blue Book of
■ Southern Progress, there are only
j twelve States having a total per
j capita wealth of less than $2,000
; All of these are in the South- Only
; Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Maryland are above this mniimtm
The average wealth per capita in the
South in 1930 was $1,785, as compared
| with $3,609 for the States outside the
: South
The effort to support education, as
measured by the percent of all tax
eolkctkus expended for school , chan
j ges ths picture considerably, of the se
| ven States expending less than 35 per
; cent of all State and local tavx collec
' tions for educaton, only two are loca
| ted in the South- Thfe average ex pend
I ed by fourteen Southrn States was 41
■3 er cent as compared with 40-2 per
cent for the country as a whole

Chief Sources and Amounts Of Publ
!_c School Revenue: _ __
According to the 1930 report of thir
! tevn Southern States, there was a tot- j
: al of $331,157,842 expended for public
schools. Forty per cent of this amount
was cotributed by local districts, 31
per cent from State sources 28 per
cent from county sources, and -6 per
cent from Federal sources
|_Annual Expenditure Pen Pupil --
_ Enrolled__
.! __
Dr. Paul R- Mort in his study,
“State Supporot for Public Education
■ shows eleven States expended less less
than $15 pr capita total population for
i education in 1930. All of these South
’ ern States- The per capita expenditu
i e in the several Stats ranged from $7
50 in Georgia to $36 88 in Nevada,
‘ with an average of $21-30 for the cou
. ntr.v as a whole No Southern State re
Rt portsfrom eleven Southern State?'
for 1930 show an average expenditure
' ached the average for the country
per pupil of $35-42. Howevr when
expendture are separted into racial
groups we see that ther was an expen
diture of $44.11 for each white pupil
• enrolled and $12-57 for each Negro pu
pil enrolled. When these figures are
■ compared with an expenditure of $99
’ 00 per pupil in the United States as
1 a whole the inequalities are astonish
' ing. A comparision of expenditures
‘ over a long period of time in the Sou
■ them States shows similar inequalit
> | ies have existed- For example the exp
‘ enditure for each white pupil enroll
> | ed in these Southern States in 1910
i was $9-45 while for each Negro pupil
it was $2-90. A check of long time
expenditures in S-nth Cav "na shows
I that in 1900, $4-06 was sp nt on each
1 white child enrolled and $1 lO for each
| Negro chid In Nrt h Car din she av
| ount was $2-27 ic-r each white child
. j and $1-68 for each Negro child Thirty
• years later South Caroolina expended
$59-09 for ech white child enrolled and
■ $11-16 for each Negro child- while No
rth Carolina epent $41-26 and 16-67
• respectively
In 1930 Negro population percent
ages in twelve Southern States varied
from 7-2 per cent of the totoal in Okl
ahoma to 50-2 per cent in Mississippi
; The per cent of public school funds re
ceived tends to be in inverse rato to
the per cent of population. The 7-2 per
cent Negro population in Oklahoma
ceived 5-6 per cent of all school funds
j or 79 cents of each dollar which they
would have received if funds had been
I distributed without regards to race,
j while the 50.2 per cent Negro populat
i on in Mississippi received only 10 per
i cent of the funds, or 21 cents out of
; each dollar they would have received
if funds had been distributed without
regard to race
Expenditures for Teachers Salaries
A study of the salaries for white
and Negro teachers reveals about the
same inequalities ss between total ex
penditures-In 1930 theaverage annual
salary7 pad white teachers in eleven
Southern States -ws $901, ranging
from $715 in Arkansas to $1,546 in
Maryland while the average paid Neg
ro techers in the sme Sttes was $423,
raugfng from $226 m Mississippi to
1,168 in Maryland- In 1900 the average
annul salories paid white teachers in
seve Southern States was ,$162, m
ging from $100 in North Carolina to
$421 in MMaryland compared with $1
06 for Negro .teachers, ranging from j
$75 in North Carolina to $325 in MMa
ryland
Salarie paid city teachers range
much higher than those paid county
or ruari teachers- Reports from six
Southern capital cities show a median
annual salary for 1930 of $.362 for
white teachers and $888 for Negro
techer.
Expenditure for teachers salaries in
Louisville, Kentucky shows less diff
erence between w?hite and Negro te
achers than in any othr Southern
cty reporting. Expenditures for salar
ies of white teachers range from, $22
28 per pupil in average daily attenda
nce in 1911 to $57-03 in 1933, while ex
penditures for Negro teachers range
A
from $17-38 in 1911 to $45-74 in 1933
Transportation of White and Negro
..PUPILS —..
In 1930 ten Southern States trans
ported 749,434 pupils at a total cost
T $12 782,414- Slightly less than. 2 per
cent of the pupils transported were
Negroes and less than 2 per cent of
the funds were expendd for thir tra
| ns ported.
Investment in Public School Property
! The total invostiment in public
school property in fifteen Southern
! states in 1930 was $1,086,942,000, or
$123 per pupil enrolled, as contrasted
with $242 per pupil in the country
' as a whole. The average investment
for pant and equipment for each
J white pupil was $157, and for each
Negro pupil $37
Equaiiation Funds:
t Some type of equalization fund has
been used in the South for a number
of years, though the idea of a large
State fund created to eqaulize educa
tional upp. .rtun*ties is relatively new
Ten of the Southern States had equ
alization funds in 1930 amountng to
more than $20,000,000 and the amiount
has been increasing annually. The
growth of these equalization funds
is most hopeful to those interested in
j equal opportunities for all children
1 However these fund have beer, provi
! dcd and distributed under euch diver
e pans and circumstance that is next to
i impossible to determine the amount
going to Negro schools- In many
cases the expenditure of these funds
has increased the inequality instead
I of diminishing it
Higher Education:
The 92 tugner institutions had
plants and t<iuipment valued at $50.
‘' 869,578 in 1932- The 33 public sup
I ported schools were valued at $29,578,
901, representing an increase of ap~
I prox|mately 400 per cent during the
’ past fifteen years
Conclusion
From the information contained in
this report it is apparent that the
• Southern States are not able to pro
vide public education for all child
ren on an equal basis with the other
sections of the country. If the chil
dren of the South are to have the ed
eational advantages available to other
children of the nation, special fin
ancial support for public schools must
be provided- However, any Federal
1 funds whch are or may be made
; available for public education in the
South should be so distributed as to
’ guarantee there will be no discrimina
tion in the use of such funds be
tween the children of different races
Furthermore, such funds should be so
used and distrbuted as to correct the
1 glaring inequalities which exist at
1 present in the expenditures of sdhool
funds between the racs

“THE WORLD’S WORST
INVESTIMEN T’
(Editorial in Kansas Cty Call)
The great universities of the East
are working together to carry on a
school in which persons will be train
ed in human relations. Instead of
permitting the age-old habit of hating
the stranger to go on. they mean to
apply intelligence to the problem and
.teach understanding. It is magnifi
cent enterprise- This project to which
may easily bring more ftlme than
their law, their science, or their athle
tics
__Hate s the world's worst inveetimenl
Dr- Burris A- Jenkins, one of Am
erica's great preachers, says of it:
“Hate always costs the hater more
than it costs the hated- In the pro
portion that hate rules among the
people, in that proportion they are
still savage, barbarians, uncivilized
One almost despairs of humanity
when he contemplates its inability
to work, strive, to fight for its cause
without mixing hate in the contest
What an> exhibition one makes of
himself when he hates!”
Those who hate are sick, sick of
soul and body- When one is the tar
get of hate, it is hard not to give
blow for blo.w But by remembering
the hater is, it is possible to pity him
enough to pay him back in kind
