I sincerely urge that each citi zen vote, whether or not he is supporting my candidacy for City Commissioner. If I am elected, I won’d much prefer to be placed in >ffice by a MAJORITY of our citizens, rather than by a mim rity of those entitled to vote. There are so many important is sues in this campaign that every citizen is vitally affected by the outcome of the election. The re sults on May 9th will determine whether Omaha will have for the next three years its present old style and unsatisfactory city gov ernment, or a wide-awake and pro gressive city administration.

It is aimed particu larly at the “white collar” pro jects which will localize them in the states and vest control in state authorities. The NAACP pointed out tjhat this would seri ously cripple, particularly in southern states, the already small opportunity given Negroes and particularly Negro writers Th^ association also called attention to the considerable amount of ma terial in various art fields which has been gathered by Negro writ ers and the m^iderable number of contributions made in the fields of music and the theatre. It point ed particularly to the number of books written, the vast amount of material about Negro life and Negro contributions to American culture which has been gathered and published, and to the Negro theatre as represented in the "Swing Mikado,” “Macbeth,” and in the creation of art oenters Hke the one in Harlem. Interested persons should write their senators and congressmen urging opposition to* any bill de signed to curtail the federal arts projects or to vest control of them in the several states. SOUTHERN GROUP TO FIGHT HEALTH DISCRIMINATIONS Birmingham, Ala. May 3— A o/ntinuing campaign against dis criminations in public health pro grams, and for the improvement of tibe health of colored people was pledged in the resolutions adopted here April 23 at the clos ing session of the fourth Southern Regional Conference of branches of the NAAGP. Branches in Ga, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee were represented at the meeting. The health resolution urged that state and federal funds for health work be allotted justly in pro portl to the health needs of the Negro, that Negro doctors dentists nurses and social workers be em ployed on the staffs of public health bureaus and departments, and that Negro advisory comm.it tes be named by state and federal health agencies to assist with the Negro work The resriution also urged safeguards in the new President’s health program outlin ed in the recently-introduced Wag ner bill. Branches and teachers were urged in another resolution to cooperate in pushing test cases in the courts t» secure equal teacher’s salaries and to correct other inequalities in public edu ca'Hon. The u*esolion did not mention it, but there was consid ering talk in the city of the pos sibility of some Negro student ap plying for admissMn to the Uni versity of Alabama* for advanced or professional training. In a vigorously worded resolu tion the conference urged “Ne groes 6m demand the free right to vote in primaries as well as elections, the right to serve on grand and petit juries, the right to be free from police brutality, and the right to have equal ac commodations on the common car riers of the nation." Continued support to the campaign for a federal anti-lynching law was pledged. A pledge to support labor legis lation for the betterment of the working class and a suggestion that colored people give prefer ence to those merchants who em ploy Negroes were contained in other resolutions. Tho closing meeting In the | Masonic Temple was addressed by A. T. Walden, and Luther Bdookes, of Atlanta, Ga.; the prin cipal of the high school in Mobile Alabama, and Roy Wilkins, as sistant secretary and editor of the Crisis, from the nati. nal office in New York. Bishop B. G Shaw, spoke briefly urging Birmingham citizens to support the NAACP by taking out membership. Tho keynote address of the con ference was delivered by Dr. E. W. Tagart, former president of tho Birmingham branch and now a national director of the NAACP. Panel discussions on education, labor relations, problems of youth constitutional rights, religion and economics, and race relations made up the program on April 22. J. L. LeFlore of Mobile and Dr. C. A. McPher#<n of Birmingham were re-elected chairman and sec retary respectively. S. L. Belle is President of the Birmingham j branch. , < HIT IN THE POCKETBOOK Government acquisition of the electric light and power industry is beginning to hit out citizens where they feel it most—in the pocketbook. And the result is that a great many dosy dreams of the blessings that are supposed to dime from socialized power are being rudely exploded. Tn the state of Tennessee for instance, a government agency, the Tennessee Valley Authority, has taken over all the major private power properties. These properties were taxed to the hilt wh^n in private hands, and ade now prac tically tax free. As a consequence, it is estimated that the state gov ernment alone will lose $1,080,000 a year in tax revenue; its muni cipalities will lose $1,027,348; counties and school districts will lose $727,794; and a total of $C76, 953 more in miscellaneous taxes the utilities used to pay will also be lost by various units of the Tennessee gi/vernment. That, adds up to more than $3,500,000—which jv>X«dx«t VRt JopuoM ou s(^j as tjhe saying goes, “isn’t hay!" who see dollars added to his tax statement in order to cut a few cents from his light bill, is becom ing disillusioned. Crossing the continent, a simi lar siijuati ai threatens in the Paci fic Northwest where public owner ship adfvocates are making a great cry in an attempt to persuade the voters to approvo publicly owned power districts to d’stribute electricity from Grand Coulee and Bonnevillo daims to supplant the private utilities. In a recent year the major utilities in Washington and Oregon paid $5,700,000 to sitate and local governments, plus $2,000,000 ho the federal govern ment, and in some counties utlility taxes amount to nearly half of all county tax revenue. Both of these state face severe budget difficul ties and as n^ire than 25 per cent of their area already consist of tax-free Indian reservations and national parks, the loss of utility tax revenue would be a blow. And that may explain why Northwest taxpayers, in general seem to he locking on the public ownership proposals with cold and ciitical eyes. The simple way out, of course, is for public ownership projects to pay taxes on precisely the same hasis as private utilities and to willingly submit to the v*ame kind of regulation, accounting practices, etc. But, in every instances, this proposal has been fought tooth an nail by those who are so eager to socialize the electric industry. Can it be that the socialists pri vately realize that if their projects are put on a fair comparative basis wth private industry, the public will really see h'w empty are the windy promises they make of “cheap power?" -ooo SHOT IN THE ARM It is reported that government economicts view the immediate business future with optimism largely because the Treasury’s monthly deficits are increasing. One wonders just how much lon ; ger these "shots in the arm" tac tic* will meet wiJh any success. It may temporarily invigorate in dustry. bi pour out money without worrying where more money is coming from to meet the deficit. But it certainly doesn’t build a sound foundation, for a nation to keep on piling up debt for future generations to pay. Some day, we’ll learn that the on ly honest and permanent prosperi ty must come from productive, ex panding industry under a stable government which makes bo.h ends meet. Let’s hope we don’t learn that too late. 60,000 Organized Negro Workers In Harlem New Work, May 4 (C)—There are now 60,000 organized Negro workers in Harlem, it is estimated by Frank R. Crosswaith, chairman of the Negro Labor Committee, 312 West 124th street.
