In 1903 came the founding of the Senefslder

became president. It was with the publication
of his Panama series, however, stin later, that
the demand for his Autographs began. It was
on his way back from Panama that his htno-
graphs of the Yosemite and the Grand Canyon
were produced-those beautiful interpretations

EDITOR HERALD:
MUSHROOM POLITICAL oRGANI-
ZATION.

In Negro politics there is a Twin
City lull that is ominous of what is
to follow. Except for two organiza
lions one in st. Paul and one of an
other political faith in Minneapolis,
there has not been single ripple to
disturb the calm of the serene politi-
cal ocean, notwithstanding the daily
Press is full of national and local
political furore. Certainly two or
CARNATIONS one of each national po-
litical parties is sufficient for the
needs of Twin Citians but no one
who has lived through the local NUM-
cipalities elections will question for a
moment that ST. Paul nor Minneapolis
lack in political organizations rather
there are too many of them.
What then can one attribute this
inaction to; is it that the leaders are
vacationing up state in the lakes re-
gion or have they gone to Idlewild,
Mich, for an indefinite stay, or have
the respective members been so busy
engaged in seasonal work that call
meetings would have proved a farce?
Neither of the above questions for a
moment would battle a moron, for
few persons are taking vacations
this year. Not only because II mil
lions persons are unemployed with an
additional so millions depending on
them for bread, but thousands who
are fortunate enough to still retain
their jobs are forced to take (vaca-
tions) without pay.
Negroes are marginal bruttress
workers, this week marks the end of
the thirty-fourth month of the 1929
depression for over twenty-seven
months, six millions or more persons
have been unemployed. So a casual
discerner would conclude that a pro-
tracted vacation was improbable and
that the time factor hung burden
some. Perhaps then it was the heat,
again reason destroys this myth, for
the summer of 80 has not been an alb
normal year beside Harriet island has
been used by all types of organiza-
tions. Surely political organization
could have used this city park.
Now is one justified in branding

morning instead of Saturday in the

of Minneapolis were decorated and
canopy of lights were erected on
Nicollet avenue from Bridge Square
to Eighth st. The incandesent light
was not developed at that time and
gas was used. Huge iron gas pipes
were set up in double arches cross the
street Gas jets were inserted in the
opnings and globes of all colors were
fastened on. When lighted at night,
the effect was beautiful Beneath this
canopy of lights, all kinds of parades
and amusements would take place.
The carnival would always open
Monday night with run up Nicollet

apparatus was horse drawn then and
dozen or more companies would as
semble at Bridge Square and one
after another race up Nicollet as if
going to fire. First would come the
chiefs wagon, then a big fire engine
drawn by three horses abreast, then
came horse cart, then the kids de

NEGROES IN CHICAGO PAY HIGH
Err RENTS THAN WHITES,
REPORT ADMITS.

Chicago, Ill.-(CNA)-That Ne
groes pay much higher rents for shell
ter than any other group in Chicago,
is admitted in a report on conditions
in this city put out by Hoover's Con-
ference on Housing.
More than 80 per cent of the col
ored families spend 20 per cent or
more of their earnings for rent, the
report shows, while among white fam
lilies only 80 per cent pay such large
proportion of their income for this
purpose. Only five per cent of the
white families, but 40 per cent of the
Negro families, spend more than 80
per cent of their earnings for rent.
The committee also reported that
leases were found of colored land
lords whose exploitation was fully as
extreme as that of white landlords. I"
The report further states: "The
tenants are putting sums of money
into houseowners' hands each year.
and the only return some of them are
getting are rooms in houses which
are partly responsible for destroying
the fabric of family life, health and
happiness"

SENATE APPROVES FORCING
FEDERAL WILD.LIFE UNITY

The first bill to come before this
session of the Senate and the first to
! be passed was one which recognized
depression" among wild game
creatures. The purpose of the meas
ure is to compel the various Federal
departments and agencies to CO.
operate with each other in cOnSid-
ering the needs of wild life before
carrying out any project that might
affect this resource. It's passage was
the first concrete result of a two
year study of the problem by the
Senate Committee on Conservation
of Wild-LiCe Resources, of which
Senator Frederic G. WalcOtt, of Con-
necticut, is chairman.
During discussion of the bill SEN
atOr Harry Halves, of Missouri, vice
chairman of the committee, said:
"In our Investigations we find that
there is not a single department of
the government which does not in
some way come in contact with the
problem of conservation of wild life.
The purpose of this bill is to call to
the attention of these departments
the fact that in considering public
projects they should, if economical
ly practicable, make provisions for
wild-life preservation and produc-
ton"
The bill would make it compulsory
for the Bureau of Reclamation, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Ma
tional Park Service, the Forest Serv-
ice and other agencies to give the
Bureau of Biological Survey and the
Bureau of Fisheries an opportunity
TO establish adequate wild-life pro-
ductiOn on public domains, Indian
reservations, national forests and
parks, and any lands owned or leas-
ed by the federal government wher-
ever practicable.
The measure would give the Bu-
reau of Fisheries experts a chance
to see that future gOvernment-con-
structed dams do not hinder the bu-
"cau's work by failing to provide
some means for fish to pass from
one side to the other. 1t would also
compel government agencies con-
ironing ilnpounded waters to allow
use of these for wild-life production,
when such use is not inconsistent
with their primary purpose and does
not conflict with the constitutional
rights of the states in which the wa
Lcrs arc located.
The bill did not call for an appro-
pIiation. Conservation organizations,
rs well as federal game officials,
have approved this measure, says

IMPORTANCE OF AMERICAN
SHIPPING

Representative groups of men
identified with all branches of ship
ping are to meet in Washington the
last of January for the purpose of
considering the problems of Ameri-
can shipping. The meeting will be
the fifth national conference of the
kind that has been held in the inter-
est of the merchant marine. 1t is
likelythat considerable attention
will be paid to the subject of mail
contracts, and Legislative needs to
meet foreign competition, particular
ly in the Panama Canal traffic and
the European trade.
A lot of people seem to think that
one of the great difficulties faced by
our American ships lies in the fact
that it is hard to get drink on our
boats. Evidently this is a sort of
straw man. The real thing that needs
to be done is for the government and
business interests to support our
ocean shipping companies in the
same vigorous manner that we en-
ploy i'll uphOlding the rights and in
terests of railroads. The rail car
riers usually get everything that is
coming to them, particularly in the
shape of mail contracts, and favor
able action by the government. But
most of our territory extends back
from the seaboard, and the vast in
terror of the country fails to appre-
ciate the full value of American
The greater European ma
tions have specialized more upon
their ships than upon the railroads
and all of these European countries;
England, Germany and
France have gone the limit in the
way of subsidies, mail contracts, and
treatment of their ship
ping interests. AS a result their
ships have been chasing rings around
the American merchant marine, even
in American waters, where the traf-
fic naturally belongs to Uncle Sam.
If American business interests and
the American Congress do their full
duty by our merchant marine, it will
not be long before the group of own
ers that took over the United States
lines will be able to place the Amer
can flag in a position second to |
none on the high seas. That day
should be hastened.
