WAR ON TRAVEL TAX.

BY Newspaper Enterprise.
WASHINGTON.-Removal Of the
tax on railroad passenger and Pull
man tickets is in prospect as re-
suit of a campaign by manufacturers
and wholesalers.
These interests point out that the
increased railroad rates coupled with
the tax prohibits the keeping OF
statesmen on the road. thus contrib
uting to business stagnation.
Removal OF the tax would increase
railroad traffic, and with their reve-
nues increased, they might be able
to reduce fares, it is argued.

PAIGN AFTER INAUGURATION.

(By A. N. P.)
Washington, d. c.. Feb. 24-Immed-
lately following the Inauguration of
President-elect Harding, a nationwide
propaganda effort will be made. with
the cooperation of nev spapers,
churches, public men. and Drganiza-
TONS to acquaint the general public
with all the facts in matters and the
welfare of Colored Americans.
1t has been pointed out that the
Irish in the United States have raised
millions for propaganda, that in a
recent single meeting in Chicago,
$175.000 was raised and turned over
to Miss Mary insolvency, and that the
Jewish people of the country have
Gin the twinkling of an eye" raised
hundred of thousands of dollars to
combat Henry Ford's anti-Jewish
propaganda. It is thought. therefore,
that 100000 Colored people should
be aroused sufficiently to have their
problems fittingly and extensively be-
fore the general public.
