ton law the taxable value of
livestock is fixed at 80 Is per cent
of the assessed value and grazing
land at 30 per cent of assessed val
ues. On this basis, then, the tax
able value of all livestock and graz
ing land in 1881 was $55, 1927, 900.
Almost all property owned by
public utilities, however, takes a
40 per cent taxable value under
the classification law. Railroad
lands and tools fall under the 80
per cent and 20 per cent classified
ton but the weighted average is
SO per cent of assessed values, so
that the taxable value of utilities
is about S115, 900, 1000, more than
twice the taxable value of all graz
ing land and livestock.
The livestock industry has prof
tied by reduced assessments in
the last seven years. In 1924 live
stock and grazing land was e
ed at $196,071,48 and public util-
tiles at s296y141 ,845. By 1881 the
livestock and grazing land e
ments increased $17,000,000 to
$313,570,788
"This is in line with changing
economic conditions in the state
and is proper, the board feels, but
it does indicate some shift in tax
burdens" says Judge John ].
Greene, a member of the board.

which hitherto had not known the

sank so low that employees ON the
university payroll received a sur
brise June 80. greater than that
occasioned by the whitewash Of Per

Instead of the usual long green
piece of paper was lodged IN the
envelope advising temporary finau-
eial embarrassment, with a promise
that in few days the empty cot
fers would be replenished. The total
amount of salary deficits is thought
to be around $4,000. A loan is
believed planned.
Within the memories of the oldest
inhabitants of Howard University,
this embarrassment has no precedent.
The administration therefore can
boast of another record--its inabil-
itv to pay certain employees on pay
day.
Just how acute suffering is from
the disappointment, the writer has
not been able to ascertain. Usually
such eoups hit those who can stand
them the least. Employees ON the

selves, it is stated, to weed out the
colored workers as fast as possible

This process is being hurried by
train conductors who openly trick
colored brakemen into making mis-

One gag that has proved effective
is purposely telling the brakeman to
cut out the wrong car at certain
stations and swearing that the brake

is investigated in the superintend.

generally comes out on top in these

SAVANNAH, Ga.-The worst ef-

deeply rooted in Dixie than any
place are being felt most by the
railroad workers, who are fast be-
coming extinct in the face of white

All sorts of tricks, chicanery and
violence are being employed to ex-
terminte colored firemen, brakemen
and engineers who, until the last
few wears. were traditional in the
South.
Preiudiced straw bosses, transpor-

workmen out of jobs that hitherto
whites would not have.

Red Candidate
Sees Negro As
Ruler OF South

NEW YORK.-A prediction that
an American soviet government, once
in power, will deal death blow to
the existing jim crow system in the
United States, was made last week
by William 2. Foster, white, Com
munist candidate for presidency of
the United States.
"In a soviet system" Mr.. Foster
pointed out, "the Negro will have
the most complete equality-econom-
ically, politically, socially. The doors
tn every occupation, to every social
activity will be wide open for him.
'qHe will have ample land, confls-
Gated from the great white land
lords. He will be free to do as any
other citizen, without let or hind
rance. Attempts to maintain the
capitalist white chauyinism and os-
tracism of the Negroes will be pun
ished as a serious crime against So
ciety.
Accordingly, the right of self
determination will apply everywhere
in the American soviet system. u
the so-called black belt of the Soutf
where Negroes are in a majority
thew will have the fullest right U
Govern themselves and also sucl
white minorities as may live in TIL
region. The same principle will appl'
to all colonial and semicoloniai pee
nles now dominated by American IN
perialism in Cuba, the PHILIPPINES
aThe experience with self-detel
mination of national minorities
the Soviet Union shows that IN
Russians have solved this probiei
with the revolution. The many n
tional minorities have the right
self-deternination; they have the
own language, their own culture.
