Taxation la held up aa the bugaboo, but to tha man up the tree It looks more like the public utilities and tba power corporations are demandlag tha drastic wage slashes In order to avert the equalisation of taxes which waa recommended by the committee ap pointed to study the question. That committee was appointed by the pro- Tiona legislature and occupied tha In tervening two years In Invealigations. As haa been before stated In this col umn. we are of the opinion that a re duction of wage necessitates a Ilka reduction In the standard of living. It cripples purchasing power of the peo ple The manufacturer as well as tha purveyor of commodities suffer from the curtailment of the purchasing pow er which after all, la the mass of wage earners The legislator who sanctions the “slashing to the bone” of the email salaried wage earner haa about aa much conception of the economic and industrial condition as a Flgl Islander has of the stratosphere. Today mer chants are cam-plaining because tha goods on thetr shelves are becoming shopworn, and unless there la pro vision Is halt calfed on this latest crate of wage reduction those mer chants will soon see their doors cloaa on crowded shelves. SCOTTSBORO FARCE Well one of those Scottsboro farces have ended and a Jury has declared Haywood Patterson. Negro youth, who with eight others are accused of at tacking two white girls hoboing on a freight train. Because of Its obvious racial intolerance, the trials have been watched with International Interest. The very fact that there had to be armed guards to protect the prisoner was sufficient to nullify the assertion that the youths would have a fair and Just trial. We do not question that It was an Alabama idea of fairness, es pecially where the object Is a Negro Patterson waa convicted and that tn spite of the testimony of one of the supposed victims of the assault that neither of the girls were assaulted. ” 1 made my former assertion because I was told that Victoria Price, the ofher accuser, that If I did not testify ths way I waa told that I would be arrest ed and placed In Jail for riding on a freight train.” testified Ruby Bates. To show the racial venom, the proxi- coting attorney conld not refrain from berating the attorney for the defense as a Jew It is to be regretted that such revolting travesty In the name of Justice should prevail in the boundary of this nation. The civilized world will not think of Alabama as the murderer, under 1« 4 »1 guise, of Haywood Pater son. but tt will refer to the UNITED STA TE S of AMERICA. Sooner or later, the national government will have to curb the mob tendency of the South or the Bar Sinister on the es cutcheon of the nation will be too firm ly set for erasement. THE POTENT THINGS Does the American Negro know what he wants and is willing to work and wait with patience to accomplish hia end. to realise his wants? Of course we want an equal chance in tha economic and industrial world. Wa want equal treatment in the court«, equal Justice before the law We want every constitutional right aa guaran teed by the Constitution. Those are the potent things. They are the right of every citizen who obeys the laws. Bat most of those things are denied the Negro. He Is making a tight tor them but It amounts only to a desul tory skirmish. There are no aerried ranks, no solid battle phalanx. We chant our wants and deplore our con dition and let ,t go at that. If we have a chance to remedy the condition at the ballot box, we ran always find our ranks depleted by the deflection of those who sell their racial birthright for the dollar of election day. It waa not so In the years gone by. The men and women who were but recently freed felt the need of a close commun ion. To better defend themselves they stood closr tcrether. shoulder to shoul der. They had implicit confidence in their leaders, for that leadership waa of them and for them. Theirs waa great leadership of service. Theirs waa comes another day. Men with a bit of schooling but unlimited ambition for got the leadership of service and greed and aggrandlzment soon decimated tha ranks. When leaders prove false, whe ther tn church, politics or what ever phase of our racial life it Is, time for the proletariat to find among their number some one who is not too higb- browed to understand their language. HAYWOOD PATE j RSON • The rase of Haywood Paterson should be carried direct to the public There should be a concerted mova made Including every Negro In tha United States to appeal to the pub'lc opinion and show the Injustice of hla conviction. There should be a direct appeal to the executive head of tha nation. That appeal should be made by every religious organisation, every fraternal association, and In fact by all Negroes, barring non«.
