WCIiNIOND'S COLORED CITIZENS.

Richmond'S census figures relating
to the division of the races are cn-
tightening only as to the proportion
a. whites and Negroes, and the pcrcen
t~gc Of increase OF each race during
the last ten years. The figures show
that the city has ll7,565 whites, an
increase from 63.4 to 6S.5 per cent,
while there are 5i,047 Negroes, de
crease in their percentage from 36.G
i 81
Allowing six persons TO Il family,
the figures mean that there are ap-
proN.matcly 5000 Negro families in
Richmond. Or these families it
would be interesting to know how
many reside in sanitary houses, how
many are crowded together in mi;cr

THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS

THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS
Now, since the Scripture says God
made all nations. and 80 nll races.
nnd that He made them all out OF the
blood OF ono man (and that man WAS
Adam.) how. then can ono race be su
pcrior TO tho othor? For that IL saying
thing can bo superior TO itself
which is scientific and eth
noloisical impossibility. Can You
tell me what 1t Is that makes the
w!Iltc man think and feel that he
and his race are superior to others
In racial qualities. when according
to the Scriptures I just quoted, God
made all OF one blood? The Apostle
Paul Is rchuking tho fooling Greeks,
who Thought the same thing. bUt they
had sumc kind of II logical claim for
their belief. for they believed that
thoy were the Offspring Of ION. who
was the son Of the god Mars But the
white races Of today have no such
claim for their ovcrdrawn race van.

THE KIND OF SEPARATION
WANTED
Yes. we have by divine Great ION
racial equality. and We have for husi
ness and economical purposes equal
association. but not personal lndiyid-
ual intercourse. nor do we. as col.
orcd race. ask or want that. Indeed
we look and long for the day when
we shall have power 10 make the

ASSESSMENT REDUCTION.

At this particular time when taxes
are proving rather hard for most
people to pay, it should be matter
of pleasure to those affected by the
Produce Tax, Acreage Tax and Dis
trict Levee Tax, on the east side of
Bayou Teche, and who get no protec-
ton from the levee, that through the
work of Assessor LaBauve the Local
Board Of Tax Adjusters has consent
ed to reduce the assessment on all
Class A land so situated from $50 per
acre down to $45 per acre for the
year 1921. This reduction effective on
all land except that situated near the
city of New Iberia, where of course
the property becomes more valuable.
This work on the part of Mr. La
Bauve should be duly appreciated by
those concerned.
