does not pay for the schools the city
supplies or for the municipal service
IL renders, but it is reminder that
the Negroes are taxpayers. Many
thousands of white citizens, it must be
remembered in all fairness, pay no
more in taxes than these Negroes do,
vet where is the councilman who
would deny them a share of the new
smooth-paving, simply because they
are poor?
This is a strong plea for justice.
1t may be accentuated and emphasized
by the statement that the person, who
pavs the taxes on real-estate is not
the owner, unless he himself occupies
the property, but the tenant, who
pays the rent. The labor elements,
organization ETC., have a slogan; that
Gas labor creates all wealth, all wealth
belongs. to labor. The Negroes con-
stitute the laboring classes of this
communitys and add more to the
wealth Of this municipality than these
official records show, -: 9 :'s'o:;;%e'
Even this statement, though is un-
.necessarS.M the. Of the eniinently
fair statement made BY our Esteemed
contemporary. 1t concludes as follows:
- 1t costs $4,000 a mile to oil the
average 30-foot street, the type that
is most common in the negro sections.
Thirty thousand dollars, half that the
Negroes pay in taxes in year
would pave ten miles. 1t was Mayor
Bright's boast during the municipal
campaign that his administration had
hard-surtaced sixteen miles OF city
streets in four years and had oiled
1T. Let justice be compounded now
with energy, and part of the oiiirg
for 1928 be done for those who nave
no votes with which to demand 1t,
and no hope of getting it otherwise
than through the tairplay of the white
peeple.
This is a condition and not a theory
that confronts the present admins
tration. Back up this pea by organ
nized action and it may be that the
financial wheels of the city may be
made to turn in the direction of those
sections OF the city where colored
folks reside.

WHAT NEGROES WANT

The Richmond, Va, News-Leader,
of April 9th under the caption, The
Negroes Want More Than Parks or
Fairgrounds" deals plainly with
moot unsatisfactory situation and
makes q strong plea for Improvement
in dealing with this large aggregation
Of our body petite. We are impressed
with the fact that this minority of
ourwhite population which is anxious
to do even and exact justice to all
classes is making a persistent fight

Even more touching - he sentiment,

among thousands of agroes, that If
the city is to approp ate any money
for relieving their ldition, it can
most advantageously be spent in saw
ing the Negroes from the plague of
dust in summer and the bane of mud
in winter.
In the older Negro quarter north of
Broad, no streets are naved or even
oiled, unless they happen to be
thoroughfares. Even the best Negro
residential street, Leigh, was never
given modern surfacing until the
city wanted to utilize it in relieving
congestion on Broad street. The depth
of the dust in old Jackson ward is,
measured by the length of time since;
the, last downfall. The thickness of
the, mud can be gagged by the record
of precipitation at the weather bureau,
Nothing is ever done to lessen either
dust or mud. If long dry spell comes,
the Negroes pray for rain. If the rain

have to pray to be delivered from

SMITH AND THE PRESIDENCY

Gov Alfred E. Smith Of New York
Us the storm center in Democratic
politics at this time and the disturb
apce has extended to the Republican
ranks, for that party must name q
candidate reasonably certain to beat
him should he, be nominated. The real
puraose Of tens of thousands of Dem
oerats is to keep a Roman Catholic
commitment out of tie White House
at Washington. Whilesnot- saying SO
they are resortingsto practices close
ly akin to. ,those, which would be In
vokea should Negro or a, Jew be-
nominated for the great honor.
Ii is well-known fact that Cover
nor Smith is a "vote getter" certainly
in New York state and this prestige
has extended to other. States, where
loyal Democrats reside and who want
that juicy. political plum, the As
electoral votes of New York to be
transferred from the Republican to
the Democratic column. There are
three issues against this brilliant New
Yorker, one of which is spoken under
breath and the other two openly pro-
claimed from the housetops.
Gov. Smith is a devout Roman
Catholic and Senator j. Thomas Hef-
lin, who is as bitter in his attitude to
Gov Smith as Roman Catholic as
he would be towards him asa Negro
declares that he would be subject to
the influence of the Pope of Rome.
This is strenuously denied by that
Church. The other reason is that he
is q leader in Tammanys Hall and that
this organization would exert PERM
cious influence upon him, should he
occupy the White House, The other
ssssa is that he IS wet He does
Not, believe in, 4theser drastic prohibi-s
ton laws, although he swears'to SUPP
port and uphold these laws as long as
they are upon the statute books.
In statement denouncing Gov.
Smith, Senator j. Thomas HeHin, of
Alabama; is quoted as saying: :.
"Did you know that while AL Smith
has been elected Governor Of New
York four times he has never carried
but four counties of the State, and
