Denver-There are, in the district
of Colorado, which includes this state
and Wyoming, $4,000 persons whose
incomes will range from $4,000 to $780,
900; and 400 whose incomes are be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000; and 100 in
comes between $4,000 and 100000.
This is the estimate of the Denver in
ternal revenue office, in data for
warded to Washington for use of Con-
gress in its consideration of the an
nual income tax law. Only forty per-
sons are estimated to have an annual
income In excess of 100000 These
figures are based on a population of
100000 in Colorado and 100000 in
Wyoming. In connection with the
estimate of taxable incomes in this
district, it is explained by the collec-
tor that many who will be required to
make returns, may, through exemp-
tions. not be required to pay the tax.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

First and foremost, / call the atten-
ton of the race through this league to
the fact that there are at least 100000
444 acres of unused and unoccupied
land in the southern states. This
means territory as large as Austria
liza. France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
| am glad to say that we already own
and occupy 20,000,000 acres, but this is
only about two acres for each individ-
ual. All this means one thing: That
the time has come when this business
league and other organizations should
send forth voice which can be heard
everywhere and can not be misunder-
stood, for a larger proportion of our
race to leave the towns and cities and
plant themselves in the country dis
tricts on the soil before it is too late.
Verify 1t is true that here in the Unit
ed States the words of the prophet of
old are fulfilled, when he said there
was land awaiting the occupation OF
the people, that was flowing with
milk and honey" In our case as a
race, the milk will come from our own
Jersey COWS and the honey from our
own well kept bees. Forward to the
land! should be our motto everywhere.
Instead of owning 20,000,000 acres, we
should within the next quarter of a
century own 40,OOO,OO0 acres. To the
man or the race who owns the soil
all good things come in time. Let us
leave the fleeting and often deceiving
easy life of the cities and get on Gods
green earth. / want to see members
of my race that are now in too large
numbers fiocking to the cities, join
the great world movement back to
the land" or better STILL forward to
the land."-Booker Washington.
Such Institutions as those at Tuske-
gee, Hampton and Prairie View are
sending out thousands of young men
and women imbued with good pur-
poses and well equipped to render in
calculable service to the negro peo-
pie. These men and women live
wholesome lives and set wholesome
examples that are bringing year by
year heavy fruitage in the way OF
enlightenment and encouragement. AS
vast as is the problem here in the
south, and as tremendous the mass to
be won to honesty, virtue, self-reli-
ance and thrift there is no reason
for encouragement anywhere. Every
where throughout the south there can
be seen among the whites a constant
ly growing sympathy for and interest
in the negro population, and that SYM
pathy and encouragement are accom-
plishing great things. We can see
from the progress of the present how
much better the future is going to
be. and we have every reason to hope
that the problem will be divested of
its complexities as intelligence is dis
seminated among the negroes and as
the white people more fully realize
that their own welfare depends upon
making the negro a more intelligent
and useful factor in our economic life.
We believe the lynching record will
continue to diminish until this blot
will be forever eradicated. The ne
gro himself can help the good work
along by abstaining from all forms OF
lawlessness and by ceasing to give
shelter to those who commit crimes.
A healthy public sentiment will accom-
plish the rest.-Houston (Texas)
