BOSTON WOOL

Boston, March 7.-(P)-A fair de-
gree of firmness is shown in under
tone of the wool market, as members
of the trade hope for moderate
improvement in the spring demand
for mems suiting. Wool houses that
have sizeable lines of any grade OF
domestic wool are refusing current
low bids, while they are willing to
close out odds and ends at Slight con-
cessions from asking prices on larger
offerings. Estimated receipts OF
domestic wool at Boston during week
ending March S amounted to 189, SOC
pounds as compared with 437,500 lbs
during the previous week.

The Danger Signal

From every county in the state came re-
ports Of increased delinquencies in tax pay
ment.
This means that more farmers will be-
come peasants and more homeowners be-
come tenants.
1t means that the property of the peopla
is being confscated by huge taxes and that
wealth becomes more and more concentrated
in the hands of the few.
Taxes and interest are fixed in numbers,
not in the value Of dollars. The dollar Of three
years ago is different dollar today in every
thing except these two items.
The dollar is different in wages. With
thousands unemployed and with society still
buying labor as it does potatoes, at auction
block prices, all wages have been reduced.
The dollar is different in farm products
and in every manufactured article. The farm
er must raise two bushels of wheat where he
raised but one. The manufacturer must
make three articles where he made but two.
But the same number Of dollars that ne
paid in the old days must be paid today-and
more, because interest on debts has way OF
growing and making more dollars necessary.
Until the national government does
something to initiate the value Of dollars, all
that can be done by the people is to cut down
the number of dollars for tax purposes locally
if they wish to escape the inevitable confsca-
ton Of all property.
This can not be done while the Governor
refuses to call the legislature into session.
An emergency session could cut down the cost
of government Immediately. 1t could cut out
the useless state policemen, the present poll
tical method of selling auto licenses, the huge
salaries of those who lobbied themselves INTO
excessive salaries during days OF imitation
The public salary that was generous
three wears ago today becomes extoruonate'
The tax eaters become the Egyptian locusts
of the modern day.
The size and number of tax delinquen-
cies should be a danger signal for every pub
lie employe. It means that there will soon
come a time when there will be no money TO
nav nublic expenses and all government
will go.
The quick way is to call an emergency
session of the legislature to cut costs OF gov
eminent to a parity with other prices and
then TO distribute the burden by an income
tax that will relieve the farmer and the home
owner.
ONLY the wilfully blind will refuse to see
the signs of the times.

The toad wished that he had BIZ

so great and it was more or less a
matter of pride with him to attend
the laying of every corner stone. He
remembered that the next event
mentioned in the papers would take
place in Houston, and so he groaned
a little at the thought of the long
trip before him.
Still he gritted his teeth and said
to himself, Il shall hop of at

1T SEEMS TO ME BY H FF0zGS

TEXAS is large and curious
A state which has given 10 the
world Speaker Garner and the
horned toad. Both of these natives
have capacity to crawl into a
shelter and remain for days or even
years without breathing much or
ever uttering an opinion.
The refuge of Mr.. Garner has
been the speakership, while the
alternating toads run chiefly to
cornerStones. Whenever a Lone
Star edif1ce comes down, out crawls
a toad Of McKinley's era from under
the ruins.
AS far as I can gather, each one
of these inundated creatures is just
as mum as Speaker Garner upon
the issues of the moment. Neither
toad nor congressman ever has been
interviewed in a way which could
be termed satisfactory.
The hermit role of John Garner
is a matter of choice, and it may be
that the toad of 1898, which took
upon itself the Siences, was equally
conscious of the quality Of his act.
After all, he attended the dedication
exercises and heard about free silver
and the way in which Wall Street
downed that great statesman, VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, in the election
of 1896.
The speaker assured the toad that
in 1900 things would be very
different. And, naturally, jackson
was mentioned and also Thomas
jefferson.

Emancipation
is inyolvedi

For the first time since Lincon's proclamation,
signs not lacking that the struggle Of Negroes
for political and economic freedom beginning to
be won.
Delegates to the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Coored People convention opening to-
day in Washington are launching a national cam
paign for enfranchisement of Negro voters in the
SOUTH for distribution of school funds to give Negro
children equal educational opportunities with white
children, for abolition of the Jim Crow system
They urge the 100000 Negro Americans to use
the franchise with intelligence and refuse to be
herded by political bosses to the polls. They urge
an economic program designed to give the Negro
worker parity with the white in wages and living
standards.
Most significant is the growing potency of the
black vote" Since the World war scattered so
many Negro families from the rural south into
northern cities, this vote is being felt.
1t is no secret that the political power of these
voters helped defeat the Negrobaiting Judge Parker
for confirmation by the senate as a supreme court
justice.
Since then northern Negroes successfully have
opposed three senators who voted to seat Parker.
Allen of Kansas and Mccullough Of Ohio were re-
tired. In the defeat Of ex-senator David Baird for
Governor Of New Jersey it estimated that out
Of 10000 Negro votes cast fully $4,000 we're against
Baird.
Already Il can be said that no political party can
lay claim to having pocketed the Negro vote in any
state north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Whether because of growing political power, or
because of growing racial tolerance only fourteen
Negro lynchngs were recorded in 1881, as compared
with twenty-five in 1880.
The road to justice for the American Negro is hard
and the journey long But it is good news that sub
stantial progress is being made.
