On the Other Hand.

Now. as to the other side OF the pic
ture If the plan works as Mr.. Jones
and his colleagues maintain that 1t
will. the farmer will have the two
fold benefit OF the increased price due
to the bounty and presumably the add.
ed value given the commodity BY
shortened supplies.
And Ii the plan works. the consum-
err will find himself In the unusual sit.
uation OF paying the farmer to raise
the price by limiting the supplies. In
short, the consumers bread will cost
more because the miller pays an ad-
ham will cost more because the packer
has paid the tax as q professor OF
tile hogs. and SO on through the list
of whatever commodities eventually
are included In the terms of the law.
II will readily be seen that this cir

The funds with which TO pay those
certificates would be raised. as was
stated earlier, by the tax on process
Ing The first professor would be
called upon to pay the charge fixed,
and then the treasury would use the
amount In pro rata repayments as a
reward TO those farmers who complied
with the voluntary reduction program,
so there would be, theoretically at
least. tendency to balance consump-
ton and production by holding down
the latter.
From these facts 1t is seen that
there must be an apportionment, a de-

be produced of each of the commodi-

mysteriously committed suicide two
weeks ago the remains were returned
to the McGavock Mortuary from the
cemetery where post norton was
held by order of the County Attorney
Michael ,Kinkead at the request of
some of Mr.. Anderson's relatives.
An examination revealed the al
legged bruises on his body were of
old origin and did not contribute in
any way to his death. The results
of the post norton sets at rest ru-
mors that Anderson was a victim of
foul play. The mystery in the case
not yet disposed of is two telephone
calls received by Mr.. Anderson on
the day of his death. It is reported
that Mr.. Anderson had received a
threatening letter sometime before
his death.

Huey Longs Black
Eye Given Him
By Race MUSICIAN
MASTERY OF LOUISIANA SENA.
TORS BLACK EYE SOLVED

New York, Sept. 1.-The mystery
of Senator Huey "Kingish" Longs
much discussed black eye has at last
been solved. According to the New
York bureau Of the Chicago Defend
eb Dallas Turner, New York Col
ored musician, hit Huey in his optic
orb after he had patiently listened
to- Longs insults for two hours. Huey
attended an exclusive affair at Long
Island country club. Turner was
one of the paid entertainers at the
affair. Along with several other
black employees Of the club, he was
the butt of the uncouth southerner's
insults all through the evening. To
cap the climax, Huey followed Turner,
who is quiet and unassuming indi-
vidual, into the barroom of the club
and whispered one of the epithets
niger "shine" or "coon" in Turn
er's ear. Like a bolt of lightning
Turner Strengthened the blatant Huey
out on the floor with a knockout
punch to the face, and the now ia
nous hunt for the man who struck
Huay began.
The white daily press, strangely, de-
spite it's ability to find the news, was
unable to discover" the fact that
black man hit the Honorable Mr.. SEN
ator Long, but the Aframerican week
lies in New York soon found out who
the gentleman in the wood-pile was.
The mystery of Huey Longs black
eye has at last been solved. No won
der Huey would not tell who hit him.
Imagine what his constituents back
down home in Louisiana would think
if they knew the great Huey Long
had been punched in the eye by a
black American who resented his in
suits.

NEGRO BUSINESS

Chicago leads the nation in mum.
Der of retail stores operated by Ne
groes. 1t ranks first in number of
employees, payroll and in value of
stocks, and also in the amount of nei
sales. With a total population of
$4,000 by the 1880 census, 815 stores
are operated by Negro Chicagoans
These facts are embraced in a re-
cent repcgs broadcast by the u. S.
Census Bureau.
Particularly revealing of the Ne
gro's great buying power is that
part of the report which details ex-
penditures of almost 20 million dol
lars over the counters of Negro bust
nesses, in the Is largest American
cities. A huge total of S101, 146,043
of net sales were listed by the H.
FOL Negro business places of the en-
tire country.
Such figures are remarkable when
it is understood under what heavy
handicaps Negro business must exist.
Racial prejudice and inequalities
enter even the business fields and
most of the $4,000 Negro businesses
operate without the protecting and
sustaining arm of the banks. Almost
without exception, white financial in
stitutions which accept Negro de-
pesits readily enough, on the other
hand refuse Negro business firms
credit facilities and loans. In view
of this fact the growth of the So
called Negro business is one of the
most remarkable phenomena of the
American business world. s

LARGE AND SMALL NEGRO
JOURNALS AND LIFTING

The larger and more influential
Negro weeklies may boast long and
loud Of their news gathering facili-
ties, but we smaller weekly editors
know from whence most of the
stories. that appear in our larger
periodicals emanate. We know that
while most of our four page papers
are treated by some of the bigger
brothers with certain studied con-
descension, we also are aware that
without the small paper most of the
larger papers would be out of luck
for foreign" news stories.
1t is true that we have three fair
ly good news services, but these
same agencies depend largely upon
the columns of the rs or 80 small
Negro journals for their news sources
While they almost openly purloin the
material of the smaller papers, sell
dom if ever do they credit them as
the source of their releases.
AS an example of how the "big
boys" use the "little fellows" we might
cite the case of your own paper, the
HERALD. Last week the X. C. Call,
powerful Missouri valley publication,
member of the potent Cooperative
Publishers Association, member of
the Audit Bureau of Circulation, and
one of the best papers of the coun-
try, almost bodily lifted three stories
from the HERALD without giving
this publication one iota of credit
Stories concerning the Evan Ander-
son suicide, the Minnesota Masonic
Grand Lodge and the Ben Berry
Death carried in HERALD of Au-
gust 10, were carried in the CALL
Of Friday, August %. Small .por-
tons of the material were rewritten
but much of it was reproduced YER
batim. The news editor of the CALL
at present is the popular and COM
petent Frank Young, formerly of the
Chicago Defender. When Young was
on the Defender, he was death on, the
small editors who used Defender ma
terial without a "credit line" We
know this, because in our absence
once, staff members lifted a Defend
er story and overlooked giving the
source credit. Immediately Mr..
Young despatched US a testy letter,
protesting against scch unethical prac-
tice. Yet, he and other editors of these
newspaper "giants" have for years
used material from the four pagers
without thought of a credit line. Per-
haps they have considered the source
of large part of their foreign news
was too lowly to mention. Most of
the editors of the smaller papers are
very careful about lcrediting the
source of their material and the
"big boys" should learn to be just
as ethical ..
