new NATIONAL BANK
TO HAVE COLORED
D|RECTOR0N BOARD
New Harlem Banking Institution
First to Consider a Negro
Director.

New York, N. Y, Oct. 19-The
Globe National Bank, now in process
of organization, is said to be the first
national bank in the United States TO
recognize the Negro population by
having a board of directors of both
white and Negro men, according to
H. M. Black, a member of the board
and actively interested In organizing
the bank.
"The great oversight in the devel-
opment of the Negro race today" Mr..
Black said, "is the lack of economic
direction. In this city there are a.
bout 100000 negroes. They own real
property assessed at 100000 900.
They have a deposit in various New
York savings banks about $30,00O,-
900, but they are not recognized to
the extent of being allowed to be-
come directors"
"The election of colored members
to the Globe National Bank, to be
opened at Seventh Avenue and 1854
Street, will be held after the formal
opening of the bank. This step will
open the directorates of the $4,000
national banks in the United States
to the Negro race"
There are eighty Negro banks in
the United States. All of these banks
will have the opportunity of sending
one Of their young men to the bank
to learn the principles of national
banking. Mr.. Black said.
'In addition to the saving and dis.
count service" he continued, I'VE will
have an investment service to protect
Negroes from wildcat schemes and a
trust department. The Negro direc-
tors will be selected from the mos.
prominent men of their race. They
will attempt not only to further the
thrift among the Negro race, but to
make the Colored section of Harlem
one of the best sections of the city"

noon, October 9, A. Philip Randolph,
co-editor of The Messenger magazine
left New York City for Poughkeepsie
where he made the initial speech of a
statewide campaign tour for the Of
fee of Secretary Of State.
Randolph has received the highest
political honor of any Negro in Amer
lean politics since Reconstruction. He
is universally regarded as a man of
unusual intelligence. There were
two white men running against him
for the Secretary post on the Farm
er ticket at the convention in New
York City last July. but he was NOM
mated overwhelmingly
The fact that Negro has been ac-
corded such high political honor
among the Socialists has caused a
stampede in the Republican and the
Democratic ranks. The rear Is tnat
Negro voters will forsake the old
crowd and cast their lot where they
will be given a square deal without SO
much begging and pleading after
they have stood by them faithfully al

(From the Eugene Guard)

A legislative commission is now
engaged in spending $4,000 In an
effort to discover why taxes are
no high, and II possible to form
ulate a plan for reducing them.
II successful in both these OBJ
iects the money will have been
well spent, but there Is no occa-
sion for the taxpayers to begin
celebrating yet; 80 far the com
mission has only discovered that
taxes are high, and we all knew
that anyway.
Why taxes are high Is another
point that requires no inVestlga-
tion; 1t Is simply because we are
and have been, living too high
and spending more money than
we can afford to spend. With the
individual, so with the county.
the city and the state. IL the iudi-
yidual covets the conveniences
and luxuries he cannot pay cash
for and acquires them by running
into debt, he generally sweats
blood before he pays off the obli-
cations, and sometimes he has to
take a trip through the bank
ruptcy courts in order to square
things so he may start over again.
Oregon Is a state with a popu-
lation Of little more than 100000,
and its wealth, except in undevel-
oped natural resources, does not
equal that of any one of a dozen
of firstclass cities OF the nation.
Yet, poor as we are, we boast OF
an educational system standing
second or third among the states,
so that the commission finds that
half our tax money goes to the
schools. Then we are spending
more in highways than other
states with many times as much
taxable property, and this work
claims a large part of the money
levied In taxes. Furthermore, We
have workingmen's compensa-
ton law, and a widows pension
system. and many institutions for
caring for the unfortunate, the
wayward, the sick and the Grim
inal; We throw safeguards about
the game in the mountains and
propagate the fish in the streams:
