I THE MORE ABOUT T H E L Y N C H IN G S IN SO. C ontinued from page one ed with the fact that murder at the hands of a mob pres ents a question which the States have not been able to cope with. And that is why the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is asking for the pas sage o f the Dyer Anti-lynch ing bill. A rgum ent for Federal Bill Anti Lynching Crusaders place the responsibility for the recent increase in the number of lynchings upon the Dyer Bill. " It is now evident beyond a rg u m en t.” declared the Bo ard of Directors of the N a tional Association for the Advancement of Colored Pe ople, " that the States them selves either can not or will not stam p out lynchings. W hen the Dyer Anti-lynch ing Bill was pending in the Congress, lynching sharply declined, aparently because there was fear of Federal in tervention. This evil which disgraces America before the murder we are still confront- civilized world apparently will never he ended until an aroused public sentiment de finitely serves notice upon Congress that effective steps must be taken to stamp out this crime.” T h e main attem p t to ju s tify lynching has been based upon the contention that on ly bv sum m ary m ethod of mob m urder could colored men be deterred from atta ck ing white women. But the figures of the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People show that among the crimes thus pun ¡sited m urder leads the list, and that the alleged or real causes include the most tri vial offenses. They point out that the strongest rebuttal to the statem ent that “the usual crime” that provokes lynch ing is that colored women have been lynched. From the figures it is apparent that o- ther incidents than the so- called “ usual crime" form a large m ajority of the causes hack of lynching of Negroes. In the South Carolina case the courts had dismissed the rase against one of the three defendants. An attorney of Aiken des cribes the crime that led to the lynching* as follows: “Sheriff H. H. Howard ot Aiken County, S. C., for whose killing the three Neg roes were on trial, went in April, 1925, with three depu tie#, to the home of a colored man, Denman Lowman, e ar ly o n e morning Sam Low- man. the father, had gone to a mill to get some meal ground.

They both face hard problems on account of scant and scattered population, long hauls, competition, insufficient capital, and heavy and ever-mounting taxes. If our farms aifc- to prosper they have to secure outside money for loans and money to finance crops. If our indus tries are to develop they have to finance their purchases and payrolls. Both have to have markets and that means new people and more industries. * * * T h at is what that Dennis resolution is designed to do. It is an invitation for capital to come in and help us all out. W e desperately need money to open up the state. We have to have money for farm loans and no m atter how pretty this talk sounds about a state income tax we cannot es cape the economic and unalterable fact that new capital which we require does not have to and will not come to Oregon unless we make it advantageous for it to do so. W e must remember that there are 120,(XX),(XX) people in the L’nited States. Of them one hundred and nineteen million plus, live outside of Oregon. T hey have plenty of need for the same money in case we of Oregon don’t sho\V that we really want it. W e tried it once—and before the people repealed the state income tax it cost us millions; drove industries, payrolls and taxable wealth out of O re gon and taxes still went up! Every farm er who had to borrow money knows what it did to him, too. * * w No forward thinking and constructive citizen want* that disaster to happen again. Ipstead of making things hard for everybody— farmer, merchant, industrial worker and citizens in general we w ant to have a purely economic problem taken out of pol itics. I he way to do it is to vote no against both the Grange Income T a x Bill and Offset T a x Bill and vote ves for the Dennis resolution. By this means we guarantee to every citizen, industry, and to capital that there will be no income tax before 1940. It fu rth er guarantees to every family that they will not have to pay taxes on their sav ings when their bread winner dies. It is a prosperity-m ak ing measure—it is sound business policy and deserves ev ery progressive citizen’s support. * * * V O T E 306 X Y ES— Dennis Resolution Vote 329 X NO— Offset Income T a x Bill.
