The Widest Scheme Everi

Atlanta Constitution.
 There have been many crazy schemes of the negro problem" but of all the crazy patch proposals ever made, that of the American Negro Cooperative and Industrial Association" emitted from its worst.
 The convention decided to raise 6 fund or 00.OOOO 900 in four years by levying a tax of fl cents per month on each of the II, ,00OO 900 negroes alleged to be in the man and child.
 Figure up that proposition. It means an average family of M i've 'esa persons @ s9Sso as a year for four years. That Is equivalent to the State tax in Georgia on $5 000 of prop erty per family of five persons. The in tional treasury which include all the actual taxes paid by indirectio by our citizens for the foreigner pays the tar in taxes, you know, by having read Re publican authorities, amount to but $S.75 per capita. The total receipts of the na- tion average $7.00 per capita per annum and our total expenditures are about $6. g per capita.
 And yet in the next four years this as- sociation calmly proposes that the ne groes of this country shall pile up in its control $2OO 1000, 900 in cash, equal to 10 per centum of the Government revenues in the same period, and equal to one fifth of the total tangible property believed to be owned by the eptire negro population in America!
 How even the most visionary crank in a colored assembly could invent such a proposition is inconceivable, yet we have this body of alleged educated, thoughtful. business negroes seriously adopting it and evidently meaning to attempt It's eXploita- tion.
 How they imagine they will get their fl cents out of every palpitating negro, in cluding the perambulating ones, each month is not the least mystery in the scheme. When millions of negroes refuse to pay one or two dollars per year poll tax in order to enfranchise themselves for the ballot box how can they be ex- pected to pay $4.92 per year to a fund that this association will handle, invest and otherwise employ?
 As curiosity of the ebullltions from the race problem stew this Is the most vaporish and vain of the series. Its tomb stone may as well be ordered right now the epitaph is ready made Died as the fool dieth."
