Important points made in
Governor Jackson's message to
the State Legislature today:
State should create a sinking
fund to replace fir, losses in
institutions.
Large saving can be effected
by issuing permanent auto IL
cense plates and raising funds
not secured by annual license
fees by increase in gasoline tax.
Too many conveniences in
schools lessen incentive to initi-
ative, so provision should be
made for actual needs only.
Busses should be regulated
by the public service commits
sion.
State institutions should be
required to observe the same
economy the ordinary house
hold is compelled to practice.
Legislature should not delay
longer in strengthening the
blue sky law.
No State salaries should be
increased. Officials kuew what
the salaries were when they
went after the offices.
State salaries increased since
the last Legislature should be
cut to the former amount.
Primary law should not be
repealed.

"The two dominant political par

We should labor together as broad
minded public servants for the ac-
complishment OF this purpose. In

lation there Is no legitimate place
for the Indulgence Of partisanism.

TN my Judgment, there cannot
be an adequate system Of nominat-
ing candidates provided fer that will
be less expensive. To change the
law so that delegates may be elected
by primary, or in any other manner,
would result in fewer voters par
ticipating in the nomination thaa
under the present system.
ITO say that those few would be
more able to make proper choice
than the average voter, is placing
too low an estimate upon the judg-
nent of the voters of the State, and
assuming unto themselves wisdom
beyond that of their fellow voters.
my observation has been that the
people want to do, and usually do,
what they believe to be right, and
they should have the opportunity
to participate just as fully as pos
sible in governmental affairs.
Leave 1t to People
IF there are to be mistakes made
in the selection of candidates for
office on the various party tickets. I
feel that the people would be better
satisfied to make their own mis-
takes rather than have them made
by those who would assume to rep
resent them"
Advocating permanent auto IL
censes jackson declared 100000 a
year could be saved on plates and a
considerable sum on overhead.
THE same amount of money can
be raised at a much less cost for col
lecting the same by placing an addi-
tional tax upon gasoline sufficient to
cover the amount now raised by au-
tonaobile license fees"
Officials Should Be Content
ssSome salaries may not be as large
as they should be, commensurate
with the responsibility and labor re-
quired. However, every one who
sought these places Of trust knew
what salary they were to receive
and they should be content to serve
their present terms without in
creases. We should always keep in
mind that there are thousands of
competent men and women who
would be willing to serve in the re-
spectiVe capacities without increase
in salary.
''I would recommend that no sal
ary increase be allowed.
s'The salaries of some departments
have been increased since the ad-
journment of the last Legislature.
T;lis was made convenient under
the provisions Of the last appropria-
ton bill. ] wpuld recommend that
all such increased salaries be re
duced to the former amount"

DRAMATIZING
NEGRO TRAITS.

NESS Elizabeth Gertrude Stern (whlte) ot
New York has generously called the atteF1on
OF the public to the experiment which is tax
inc place in that city in the matter OF endeav-
oring to dramatic racial traits OF the Negro.
In a complimentary vein, Miss Stern has de-
scribed the Ethiopian Art Theatre. New
York institution of drama devoted to proving
that the Races contribution to the American
stage may be as great as it has been to poetry
music. etc. There could have been added 70
these comparisons, without fear of immodesty
science. warfare, industry and dozens OF other
branches of American progress in which the
Negro has risen to the same dizzy heights OF
perfection as those set by his teachers.
However. as to the Negro students attend
ING the Ethiopian Art Theatre, Miss Stern
generously states that they have been found
easy to teach, ready to receive, eager to learn
and responsive to suggestions, and that they
reed but to be shown to grasp mood or m
expression. The inference is as plain as day.
namely. that the Ethiopian Art Theatre will
eventually produce black Mansfield, Mar
lowe, Mantell or an Ellen Terry, just as
there have been produced in other walks OF
life HAYES, Harrison, Carver and endless
numbers of stars in virtually every latitude
of world endeavor 1t is we'll and good for
AnelolSaxons to boast of their years of civil
ization: but it is sad example of selfishness
for them to hopefully presume trat their long
era of perfection is to be kept within the
confines of their own minds. There have ever
been among them, and there ever will be, tor
that matter, kind people like Miss Stern, who
are opening wide the portals of wisdom to the
worlds black folk: and who can yet indlsput-
ably assert that the latter may have some
innate Gift or emotion which, when given its
full sphere of activity may carry the black
man to heights unknown by any other man?
In the meantime the Ethiopian Art Theatre
is doing noble work in dramatizlng racial
traits-traits which exhibit something more
than comedy and spiritualistic Negro life
traits which will eventually carry all people
back to the DAYS of the Master of men. Some
time the veil of color will be lifted from this
old world, and we shall see each other as COL
sees us. when we know that the yawning gap
of race differences will disappear like the early
morning mists ~v

WHITE AND BLACK LABOR.

THE VIRGINIA FEDERATION OF
LABOR. in is thirtieth annual Ses-
sion made no mistake in its action
in meeting the race question squareiy
and unequivocably by seating the
colored deIeAtes without question
1t must be plain TO any thoughttuI
mind that the interests of white and
black laborers are so intertwined and
linked that the separation of the one
will be fatal 10 the other. There is
no question OF the so-called social
equality, whatever that may mean,
but one OF civil rights and labor
union equality. &c.,.
White labor must either carry
black labor up with It, or black labor
will remain down and undermine
and destroy the foundation of the
structure upon which white labor
must climb. The late Samuel Com
pers saw and understood this. Being
used to the most sordid, poverty
stricken conditions, the Negro labor
er can exist much better than the
white labOrer. under similar condi'
4ions What is said OF labor unions
IS equally true of American citizen
ship.
Negroes are asking and insisting
upon civil and political rights
Social intermingling is of secondary
consideration and few of US have any
desire for it. To speak plainly, the
interests Of the white American are
closely related 10 those of the black
American. A combination of effort
On the part Of both will bring sue
cess and a separation and a racial
