KILLED HELM lin CROW"

.Washington.-The recent declaration
OF Congressman Martin B. Madden, Of

to the effect that the people do not
preparation Committee of the House,
care whether Mr. Coolidge serves one
term or ten" and that ''the people can
not do better than follow the present
program BY keeping Coolidge in the
White House. has awakened consid-
cradle interest and occasioned much
favorable comment among colored
citizens throughout the country, all Of
whom realize that Representative Mad
den has always espoused their cause
and consistently STOOD UP in
Congress and elsewhere for the rights
Of persons-the right of property, as
well as the rights of life and liberty.
In this connection it has been re-
called that only few years ago when
the House had under consideration the
Heflin "Jim Crow" Amendment to the
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1927-07-23

District Of Columbia Street Railway
Bill, Martin B. Madden came to our
rescue in a masterful effort that re-
..ewed our faith in the general prin-
ciples of the Republican party
He said: "The amendment offered
by the gentleman is un-American. 1t
is unjust. 1t is discriminatory It Is
indefensible. It IS lamentable and this
House will not, am sure, permit it to
be enacted into law This Is the Ma
tons capital. We would be derelict
in the performance of our duty as
representatives Of a free people if We
permitted the preparation of such an
outrage upon liberty-loving and God
fearing people" Thus was the Hefiin
Jim Grow" street railway bill killed
by the man in whom colored citizens,
generally, repose great confidence.

Montana stockmen residing along the

cattle to eastern markets any day Of the
week, according to word received by the
Montana railroad commission. A series
Of complaints from stockmen against
the railway company in the matter Of
stock loading days have been received
by the state commission. The plan as
outlined and adhered to by the railway
company was to load only on certain
days Of the week in each district, then
consolidate the shipments into a stock
train.
The company contended that this
would give the stockmen better service
and much time would be saved, while
on the other hand, Stockmen took the
position that the consolidated shipments
flooded the markets -1G materially af.
fected the prices. The stockmen further
held that in bringing their stock Ions
distance to the shipping point, the!
should be allowed to place it in car
Immediately and not be compelled tt
hold over until the day specified To-
that point.
The commission was advised by thl
Great Northern that stock would bt
loaded any day Of the week satisfactor
to the shipper, and with this the com
Iplaint is satisfied.
