ThJ. week Majorie Edwards, 2411 Erskin St, was added to the 1st. Almost one-half of the time allotted to this project is divided among those girls, because of the ef j forts of the mayor and Dr- Langfieid This is the only emergency relied project we know of that employs fifty per cent colored people. Why We Should All Support Bill Green In going through this life we should all have good reasons for mak ing known our thughts and ideas. Bill Green should he elected for County Surveyor s his wide experiene and his thoughtful way of doing things in the right way are evidence that lie Ik the man for the office. He is beleT quali fied and deals fair with every one along all lines of service which that office should render. Now let all of us keep these things I in mind and vote for him on Nov. 6. | —A VOTER -=-i BERT MOORE’Scolumn i HELLO FOLKS! Best wishes to all. Well, remen^ber, I said last wee not tobe fooled by the beautiful we ther we were having. i have seen a lot of overcoats on this week, and hot stoves in a number of horned that I have visited during the registration. I find that there are so many people who didn’t register. I insist that it is your duty to vote, and you can’t vote if you don’t register. There are two very important issues in the coming election regardless of your party af filiations- 1 beg each and every voter man or woman, democrat or republic an, when you go to the polls Nov. 6, to vote for repeal, and vote to bring racing back to the state of Nebraska, which both mean much employment to our race, and oppotse the one House Legislature. A hint to the Voters: There are hundreds of people in Omaha who don’t vote, there are thousands in Texas who'wish that they could vote. When persons are frightened, they are apt to emotional eoorts What I do is all that concerns me, not what some people think. Mother who rocky the cradle, the destiny of your children depends on you, for your faithful motherly love Father works from sun to sun, But mother’s work is never done, done. Vou know there are mfmey people who say this world is bum, and they could make a better one. A What the secrets of most failures are—Because they are not ready when opportunities come Even to candidates for State Sena tors who stand cm down town street comers and talk to their former bet f ^ ter halves. fl I held an interview with Detective T. Jenkins, enquiring about conditions in St Paul, from where he had just returned with a prisoner. He praise! the metropolis for the welfare of US inhabitants. It is dtill referred to as God’s Country. To the Bradshaws, a prominen family of Topeka, Kansas,, a baby boy was born- Owing to the condition o the new born child, it was necessary to use a pull motor. The family was so well pleased that they named the child Pull Motor Bradshaw- The baby is doing fine now. At St- Louis, or tbee abouts, a chil w;«3 born shortly after the sixth game of the World Series, when the teams were tied three and three- The family, not knowing the outcome, nam ed him Rowe Dean . A Republican Convention was knock ing the New Deal. The Baron said, | “How could some of the Republicans eat if it wasn’t for the New Deal?” Who could answer that? “One of the Republicans on the re lief roll, of courts©.” I _ i saw in thp papers a few weeks ago whee a pominent preacher said “The hot dog politicians muet go.” But he evidently forgot to refer to the evening tea politicians, which was held on Twenty Fourth Street last Sunday evening. One of the ladies of the republican club told her un derstudies that they must take candy, chewing gum, peanut^ to entertain the children while they succeeded in persuading them to vote the old deal ticket ! So many people say that «“*** ocice holder* are not good, but they didn't vote in order to keep out of their offices- You and You can put men in offices that are good if you will do your part and VOTE. One thing I noticed during the cam-' paign 1* that the Republicans are rid ing the Democratic Mule- I haven’t seen a iqingle Democrat on the G- O.

RobWns, work director for the Alabama Relief Administration hi Coffee County, wishes to add the fol lowing stony to the humor of the na tion Aieeording to Mr. Robbins, he has had on work relief 350 colored mea and women who were cheated out of the benefits of most of the education J al funds of the country when they were of school age- As a consequence I Mr. Robbins complains that when paY 'day came, he had 350 persons who1 marked X on the payroll instead of writing their names. The relief director got tired of all this Xing- He therefore obtaine 350 pupils from the high schools and assigned one pupil as a teacher to each of the illiterate s When the next pay day came, there were 350 signatures instead of 35 X’s. - - ...» -— ■ | HEAR GEORGE W. NORRIS . FOR YOURSELF HON. SENATOR GEORGE W. NORRIS North Ojmaha citizens will hear George W. Norris, November 3, time and place announced later, on “How t« Cut Down Taxation ahd Increase Efficiency Without Interference by Big Interests in Our State Legislative Body.” Every sane thinking citizen should with hold his judgment and not make up his mind on this Constitutional Amendment which the Hon. George W. Norris is advocating, until he has had an opportunity to ne*r ooui sides of the question at issue. The fact that George W. Norris had alays lived nd planned for our children’s children, in other words, he Is a man wth vision, who is fifty years ahead of the aver erge citizen, and the fact that he has been n outstnding, unselfish aenmt in the iterest o fthe citizens of Nebc««ea for the past thirty years at all times, and every act, and everything he ad advocated when he was in the House of Representatives in Washington, D. C. and since he has been In the United States Senate Chamber as Nebras ka's representative, are the many rea sons why we should withhold our Judg ment until we have heard him, in per son, explain why he advocates this a mendment in our state. < : VOTE FOR ONE HOUSE LEGISLATURE Proposal Is Sponsored By Senator Norris And Progressives of All Parties TO THE VOTERS OF NEBRASKA When you go to the polls you will be handed a ballot on wrhich the One House Legislation pro-j position will appear in the following form 330 YES “Proposed by Initiative Petition An amendment to the Constitution of Neb raska providing that beginning with the regular 331 NO session of the legislature in 1937 the legislative authority of the state shall be vested in a legislature con sisting of one house of not less than thirty nor more than, fifty mem bers. the members to be nominated and elected in a non-partisan manner; fo provide for the compensation and terms of office of said legislative members; to provide for sessions of said legislature and to provide the procedure of and in said legislatve body necessary for the enactment of laws.” VOTE “YES” « The present two-house Legis' lative system is an historical ac cident. The structure of our state legsi latures was carried over from the make-up of the colonial legislative bodies as they existed in 1776. The colonial legislatures, naturally, were patterned after the mother country England, and England’s Parliment at that met was a two house body, one chamber representing the English nob ility and aristocracy, the other the common people. No good reason now exists for con tinuing this slavish imitation of an ancient English legislative system now in effect discarded even by England itself. Nebraska does not give special representation to specially privileged classes. Adoption of the one-house Leglsla • ture proposal will result in the follow ing advantages: 1 .The jeanoosj, friction, and rival ry between the two homes, which of ten results in de*<Becks and the de feat of cpnstnuetive legislation, will be •Mmlnated by a one-home legisla ture. Benjamin Franklin long ago comper ed a twoechambered legislature to a wagon with a horse hitched at each end and the two pulling in opposite dir ections. The cities of America long ago abandoned as unworkable the two chamber council system. No business (Continued on Page 5) Morro Castle Funds To Benefit Negroes ASBURY PARK, N- J.—ANP.)— City officials announced this weey tin distribution of the fundh thus far col lected from admission fees to view the wreck of the Morro Oatle, and colored citizens of the seashore re sort were delighted to learn that $1,» 500 had been aet abide definitely for improvement of the Negro community Plasm have been under way fo*| some time, under the leadership o Paul Prayer, local business man, t establish a branch of the National Um ban League which will *erv® as a sen ter and guiding influence for pr grams of racial betterment for color citizens of Asbury Park.

On the baths of the best facts avail able, Leon Hendert&on, NRA’a chief economist, for sees a substantial rise in business for the Fall and a less than usual slump during the remainder of the summer. While the chief of the Division of Research and Plannig emphasize^ that there Is no expecta tion of a boom development, he points out that the decline thus far this summer has been less than normal and that there are now Isigns of an upward trend in business generally.
