A FOOLISH PROPOSAL

On the heels of Newark, New
Jerseys proposal to send unem-
ployed migrants from Dixie back
South comes the attempt by Mayor
misery in the Louisiana metrop-
oils by getting rid OF city-employ-
ed Negroes.
The leading privilege enjoyed by
Negroes throughout the nation is
that Of being made the goat in any
affair or condition which arises
Hard times have staggered this
race and the Negro is groggy from
the blows received. In the days of
prosperity he did not pool his re
sources or spend his money wisely
and provide a way to employ his
own. Accordingly. his punishment
has been out of proportion with
his place and contributions, finan-
cial and otherwise TO American life
and business.
The proposed New Orleans or
dinance is something which could
never be seriously considered had
the Negro voice in civic govern
ment. But he has none and il
New Orleans Negroes are like those
in most parts of Dixie he is making
little attempt to better his condi-
ton.
Dunderheaded proposals like that
Of Mayor Walmsley are strong rea-
sons why the Negro goes North
when he can.

Every thoughtful persons in the
United States today is thinking long
and seriously of economy. Every
dollar is being dissected into the
largest number of parts, and these
parts are being appropriated careful

and economically, these are siren
uous times. anus.
The greatest corporations of the
earth, whose incomes run into the
hundreds of millions of dollars year
ly, are reducing overhead, slashing
payrolls, cutting personnels. Indi-
vidual States are levying special
taxes; and the rich United States
Government, which five years ago
had on its hands a bigger surplus
than it knew what to do with, has
raised the cost of postage and Gre
ated special taxation-all in one great
effort to balance budgets, or in 9TH
err words, see to it that what is spent
does not exceed what it earns.

However, thoughtful Negroes hope
that those who control the huge in
dustrial mechanisms and the finances
of the world, will not believe their
eyes. For Negroes have been affect
cd, sorcly affected, by this paralysis
in business and commerce. And THE
ENTERPRISE elects to tell them
now, that the Atlantic City show
of fools gold is merely the tangible
manifestation of mania with which
one man and his henchmen, have
been afflicted, and does not at all
reflect nor represent the conclusions
of intelligent NEGROES who sanely
and seriously weigh our nation S
present conditions.

II is difficult, from this distance
to understand how Mr.. Puryear, the
Urban League or any other indiyid-
ual or organization should sponsor
the deportation of unemployed Ne
groes from Newark to the South.
The debate at Hopewell. Church
last week seemed to indicate that
Poor Overseer Owen A. Malady,
white, pulled the wool over Mr.. Pur-
years eyes in getting the Urban
Leagues support for deportation.
Mr.. Puryear thought Mr. Malady's
deportation plan was for all races
and then woke up to find it was to
affect Negroes chiefly.
Father Louis Berry, of st. Phil
lips Church, was right in declaring
that lit is better for Negroes to
starve in Newark than to endure
peonage in Mississippi, Georgia and
Alabama.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL
CONDITIONS SCORED
River and Creek Pollution Dis
grace, Izaak Walton League
Is Told.

Sewage disposal conditions in the
District were severely criticized last
night by DR.. NJ. Darcy Magee, president
Of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton
League, at meeting in the Commerce
Department Building which inaugurated
a campaign by the league for a modern
sewage disposal plant.
He said the polluted condition Of the
Potomac River and Rock Greek was a
disgrace to the Nation. He singled out
Rock Creek as particularly Objectionable
because of waste discharged into the
stream by Walter r hospital
District officials in complete
accord with the leas as to the need
of new sewage system, Dr. Magee
declared, and the only thing that
remains is to obtain the needed appro-
priation from Congress.
The principal part of last nights
meeting was taken up with the showing
of a moving picture of sewerage plants
in Berlin and other German cities.

SCHOOL CAR FARE
ARGUMENTS HEARD
Counsel for Companies Hold
Commission Order to Be
Confiscatory.

Counsel for the Capital Traction Co.,
the Washington Railway & Electric Co.
and the Washington Rapid Transit Co.
argued before District Supreme Court
Justice Peyton Gordon today that the
order of the Public Utilities Commits
sion requiring the transporting of school
children for a 3-cent fare was illegal
and confScatory.
They insisted the companies had not
been accorded hearing by the COM
mission before the order was made and
urged that the act Of Congress on
which the commission relied was un-
constitutional.
Justice Gordon Is expected to take the
case under advisement.
William A. Roberts, assistant corpo-
ration counsel, and Richmond B. Keech,
peoples counsel, argued that the order
of the commission was based on the
act of Congress fixing a rate for school
children, which was valid exercise Of
police power by the Congress. 1t was
not necessary for the commission to
give hearing, they urged, because the
legislation was mandatory and left no
discretion in the commission.
Attorneys S. r. Bowen and John S.
Barbour appeared for the Washington
Railway g. Electric Co., G. Thomas
Dunlop for the Capital Traction Co.
and George P. Hoover for the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Co.

sion decided to overrule them.

BROWN TO INCREASE
FOOT PATROL FORCE
Orders Inspectors and Captains to
Study Present Assign
ments.

Plans for increasing the police foot
patrol service were discussed at a con-
ference today between Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police, and
his staff of inspectors and captains.
Maj. Brown told the officers to make
careful study of the assignments of
the personnel Of the various precincts,
with view to placing as many men
as possible on foot patrol. He believes
the presence Of uniformed officer on
the street is strong crime deterrent.
Ever since Maj. Brown took Office he
has been making determined effort to
build up the foot patrol service by
the reassignment of officers doing cleri-
cal work. A number of such men al
ready have been transferred to the
uniformed patrol force
Plans for the Community Chest cam
paign in the Police Department also
were discussed. Maj. Brown said the
department would give the Chest 100
per cent support.
