I submit my candidacy, therefore, in this manner, and sincerely hope that you will, under the circumstances, give it your studied consideration. The commission has sole jurisdic tion over rates and service of rail roads, telephone, truck, bus, tayicab, street railway, express, telegraph and irrigation companies; issuance of pub eration and maintenance of electric lie utility securities; construction, op transmission lines; licensing and bond ing of public grain and storage ware houses, together with limited jurisdic tion over numerous other public serv ice corporations.

For in stance we feel the attack made on Dean William Pickens when he was appointed to a $10,000 year position, he was brutally attacked by the Dies Committee. He was accused of sub versive activities, which of course was never proven. Dies and his com mittee are using the tax payers mon ey to carry on this nefarious work to satisfy a personal, prejudiced camp aign. Tihs committee has never at tempted to investigate te Ku Klux Klan activities.There are other enem ies to law and order, carrying on un Aserican and un-Democratic practices without any name. Dies anr his co horts have never tried to bring the Poll Tax problem to light or suggest ed a remedy of the peonage crime, as it is practiced in eight southern stat es. Now you ask. So what? Well just this, we think just this type of scizzor bills have been looking for a chance to either curb or stop the ac tivities of our Newspapers. Claim ing as some of them did awhile back, that on account of them being bold and courageous enough to give the^ truth to the country as they knew it, that they were stirring up discontent among the Negroes of America. We recognize this, the truth hurts. We have just got to put more mon ey into the Association and more mor al and physical activities and power in its efforts. Let us be on hand on March 26th at 3 :30 pm. at Clair Chap el und either bring a friend or the membership of one and hear an inter esting program. We must realize this—If it had not been for our fight to beter our lives and conditions, we would be no bet ter cff than we were when slavery existed. The mistakes of yesterday are but stepping stones to a better and more successful tomorrow. HOUSING SITUATION The housing situation is as acute as ever and will continue so as long as the Real Estate board continues its agitation of confining us to certain districts, in that they plan and try to either put you where they want you or to build where they control land in localities that are not acceptable to whites. As we see it—it is just an other spoke in the wheel of progress, of segregation and denial of the right to be your own judge as to*where you shall live. Right now an effort is be ing made to have any group of Ne groes to buy in one of those districts. No unit will be put up for less than $5,000 with a good many years to pay off in. And now don’t forget one thing: This is in a restricted district Where no matter how badly you may need a little money, no excuse is strong enough for you to float a loan in this district. No bank, no Build ing and Loan Assn., No Loan Co., will back you up. I wish it were pos sible to say I know just one agencv that would build a Negro any tvpe of home wherever he miebt own a lot or plot of ground. Yet we are fight ing forDemocracy, at home and a broad. If we were to follow in tne footsteps of writers, scholars, minis ters and many of our neighborhood citizens and make no more progress in the future than we have in the past fifty year, I fear there would be a rather dark future ahead for not only the Negro but many of the white race THE OMAHA GUIDE A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Published Every Saturday at 2420 Grant Street OMAHA, NEBRASKA—PHONE HA. 0800 Entered as Second Class Matter March 15, 1917 at the Post Office at Omaha, Nebraska, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.

The white man must know by now that it is useless to put a man in the guter with one foot on his neck and expect to keep the mud off of the other foot. COMMUNITY CLEARING A very interesting and helpful meet ing was held in Zion Baptist church on last Friday night. Two very im portant matters were discussed and a definite action decided upon. This will be carried out between the last and the next regular meeting. It is imperative that all members of the council be at the next meeting. CHARLES A. BURNETT On last Saturday a large number of relatives and friends attended the funeral of the late Mr.: Charles A.
