i chaims that these increases are paid
by the company’s customers are
branded as inaccurate and misleading
by the Nebraska Power Company.
A statement issued by the company
explains why the increase was to be
expected and that none of this ex
pense is being paid by the customers
of the power company.
“The World-Herald’s figures, as
usual, are inaccurate,” the comp
any's statement declares, calling at
tention to an error of $130,000 in the
total reported to have been spent by
the company for advertising in 1942,
which makes its 1943 advertising ex
penditure appear enormous by com
parison.
’We have spent money, our money,
in our fight to prevent the socializ
ation of our property, and will con
tinue to do so if the attack continues,”
the company’s statement says. “Our
company has no other means of pro
tecting itself against misleading and
often false accusations that are being
made in an attempt to destroy our
well-established business, and to force
Omaha’s electric service under polit
ical ownership and management.”
The statement explains that the
money the company is spending in its
defense is not coming out of the poc
kets of the electric user, but out of
money available for paying dividends
to its stockholders.
Anyone who knows anything a
bout how electric rates are made
would know that no regulatory body,
such as the city council, would in
clude any expense in establishing rat
es unless in their judgement that ex

Here’s A Sure Way To
Have Fresh Vegetables
This Year.
T here is one way to help make sure
that your family will have an ample
supply of fresh vegetables this year,
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
points out, anl that is by growing a
Victory Garden. Those who take
care of their gardens need not be war
lied about fresh corn .tomatoes,
string beans, carrots beets mustard
and spinach, onions, lettuce and other
garden vegetables. All they’ll have
to do is go to the garden. And sur
pluses can be dried, canned, brined,
or stored for scarce seasons.
To meet the Nation's wartime re
quirements for food, the Government
is asking 22 million, or two out of
every three families in the United
States to grow gardens this year And
the Government is further asking that
these gardens be large enough, and
productive enough to produce 10 mil
lion tons of vegetables.
The need for this increased food
production is obvious; our Army,
Navy, and Marines fighting on GO
battle fronts must be fed, our civilian
population must be kept strong to
produce the sinews of war, our allies
our friendly neighbors and the starv
ing peoples whom we liberate from
Axis aggression all must be supplied.
The extra food grown in Victory
Gardens makes just that much more
of the commercially grown food a
vailable for our wartime require
ments.
Indirectly, they, the Victory Gard
ener is handling baskets of vegetables
right over his back fence to a soldier
in New Guinea, a flyer in Russia, or
a hungry child and its mother in Sou
thern Italy.
In planning your Victory Garden,
be sure to select a plot that is fairly
level, of reasonably good soil and
that has at least six hours of sunshine
a day. and good drainage. If vou are,
sharing a community garden, try to
select one that is close to home, or
near public transportation so that you
can get to it often and give it good
care.
If the plot was not plowed or spad
ed last fall, then get to work with
your plow or spale as soon as the;
ground is dry enough. You can test
for dryness by scooping up a handful
of soil, squeezing it. If it crumbles
when you open your hand then get
busy putting the ground in shape for
planting. If it doesn't crumble, but
is sticky, you had better wait a while
longer.
If you have compost or stable man
ure spread it on and spade it under.
Add lime if needed, and then work
the soil until it it loose and fine. !
With the garlen established and |
growing, the important thing is to I
keep down the weeds and grass and I
keep the garden properly watered.»

Editorial Comment
A GENERAL SPEAKS BUT .
SAYS NOTHING
According to news releases from I
Los Angeles, our one and only Negro
General in the U. S. Army, Brig.
Gen. Benjamin O.
Davis, was quoted
as saying, ‘‘He per
sonally. knows of
no discrimination
against Negroes in
the army. ’’ Now
that cold be true;
maybe the General
doesn’t come in
contact with that
Negro soldier or
sailor who was
mistreated in the
Davenport Army and Navy
and maybe he doesn’t want to know a
bout the complaining element—and
again, maybe the Negroes who have
complained to this writer were just
exaggerating. The General is not
known to us personally. W> have
heard him speak in Chicago, dedicat-1
ing a Jim-crow Unit of the U'SO. or
similar outfit. His speech didn't im
press us, even slightly. The General
was accompanied by Truman K. Gib
son, Jr., Civilian Aide to the Secre
tary of War. We know a little of
Mr. Gibson. He was the BRILL
IANT lawyer who gave the Negroes
the worst exposition ever witnessed.
He went to Detroit and witnessed the
Negro Exposition there prior to the
Chicago EPOSE-ition and told Chi
cogoans that the Detroit affair was
a huge joke and the Chicago exposit
ion was to be a tremendous success.
Most of the printing at the Chicago '
Exposition was done by white print
ers. Although it was the original
idea of a man by the name of Wash
ington, Truman K. Gibson was put
in charge of running the affair. The
big Negro newspapers failed to print
facts about the dismal failure of the
Exposition. This writer was the only
columnist who exposed Gibson.
The Ice Cream concession was let
out to one of Chicago's policy barons
who incidentally was a client of Mr.
Gibson ; this fellow would not use ice
cream manufactured by Negroes, but
contracted with a firm that hired
Negroes only as porters. The late
George Washington Carver's discover
ies were not on exposition—Carver
was one of the greatest scientists who
ever lived, yet this BRILLIANT at
torney had only a photograph of the
great man, and that was on the floor.
In the array of prominent Negroes
photographs he omitted the photo of
the founder of the Liberty Life In
surance Company of Chicago, yet he
had the pictures of his father, who
is new president, and the late Harry
Pace, who at that time had moved a
way from his people. We could go
on at length to describe this fiasco
but we are only trying to show what
type of man accompanied the General
on his tour of JIM CROW ARMY
( AMPS. Judge Hastie resigned the
same job that Gibson is now holding
because he. Hastie, could not hold his
head up as a man, knowing the Negro
Soldiers and Sailors were being mis
treated by civilians as well as offic
ers of the Army and Navy. Gibson
is a law partner of Congressman
William L. Dawson “Nuff Sed” who
also finds no discrimination.

PRICE TAG ON THE BALLOT
Abolishing the poll tax is one of
tins countries major jobs in this
me st important year. In our all out
fight to defeat fascism abroad, we
must also do something to stamp out
the undemocratic, pro-fascist practic
es in our country. One of the most
practical means cf doing this is by re
storing the right to vote to the tei
million people in the seven southern
frl! tax states who are now denied
this 1 glit because of the price-tag on
the baLot.
HR. 7, the anti-poll tax bill, pass
ed by the House last May and was
approved by the Senate Judiciary
< 'cmn.itlee, now after long delay it is
on the order of Senate business.
It is our job, as citizens, to write
to our Senators, Hugh Butler and
Kenneth S. Wherry, demanding that
the v vote for cloture, in order to
limit debate and avoid the filibuster
that the Southern bourbons are prom
ising, that they vote against any a
merd.nent or parliamentary trick to
kill HR 7 and that they vote to pass
HR 7.

in Utah, was the scene of a history-making event
on May 10, 1869—the realization of a great
American's dream. It was Abraham Lincoln who
visualized the vital need for uniting, by rail, the
East with the Pacific Coast, and who authorized
the building of a transcontinental railroad.
The Union Pacific struggled through lean and
troubled years but, like other pioneers, it had
faith in America's future. Edward H. Harriman
had unbounded faith in America. His guiding
genius — and the faith of the leaders "from the
ranks" who followed him, gave strength and
vigor to the railroad.
America always has offered unlimited opportu
nity and ample reward as an incentive for hard
work and individual enterprise. That's why it's
such a great country. It's our job to keep it
that way.

This year marks the 75th Anniversary—the
Diamond Jubilee — of the driving of the Golden

so that victory and peace may soon be ours.
