ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS

Mr.. Roosevelt has his Congressional
difficulties. He wants to get an adj
journment by the middle of May, thus
sbviating the difficulties that long
congresses usually make for a Presi-
dent. But before the adjournment
can come, in the administration view,
1t is vital that a number Of bills be
passed First among them is the
tariff bill. which would give the Presi-
dent authority to execute reciprocal
trade agreements with other nations,
to lower Y. S. duties on any article
up to 5o per cent. Opposition against
the bill is centralizing, and speedy
action is essential if it is to pass
Second is legislation to get rid of
income tax leaks, bringing in an adj
ditional S258, OOO, 1000, according to
estimates.
Third is the passage of the nine
appropriation bills now laundering
about i none branch of congress or
the other. Seven Of these have pass
ed the House, five have gotten
through the Senate. All of them are
essential to the Presidents recovery
plans. If any more of them are al
lowed to bounce about until near the
end of Congress, there is always the
danger of a filibuster, by which one
senator car kill them unaided. A
more immediate danger lies in the
Senate having added a S354,00O 900
amednment to the Independent Off
ces Bill, that would go to veterans
and to restoring the pay cuts taken
by government employees last year.
Mr.. Roosevelt has definitely said he
would veto this; is worried about
what will happen when he sends the
bill back unsigned.
Much other legislation is wanted.
Among it is a bill regulating the
Stock Exchanges, Federal regulation
of communications, ratification of the
St. Lawrence Treaty (Which promis-
es a very close vote) Philippine In
dependence, Congressional renewal Of
the NRA license provisions. If the
President is able to get all Of these
through he will have accomplished a
miracle, he will be satisfied with a
partial victory.

NS)-Bishop Charles Manuel Grace,
founder ard head of the House of
Prayer for all People, who was on
victed on a charge of violating the
Mann Act and sentenced to one year
and a day in a penitentiary, was re-
leased on bail of $500 on Wednes-
day when his attorneys gave notice
of an appeal.
As soon as he stepped out of the
detention pen of the Brooklyn Fed
eral Court, where he had been detain-
ed, he was r~earrested. He was lodged
in jail on a paternity charge by Min
ME Lee Campbell, the 21-year-old
girl, who caused his first arrest on
the Mann Act complaint. The girl is
now prosecuting him for non-support
of the seven-months old baby she
claims is his.

Taxpayers Get A Break

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress authorizing payment Of Fed
eral and local taxes on government
property utilized for purely comm
ercial business purposes in competi-
ton with private interests Of citizens
of the United States. Exempted from
assessment would be property used
for the army and navy and other
strictly governmental functions
which benefit all the people instead
of only privileged groups.
Tax-exempt governmental business
ventures have caused a tremendous
drain on private taxpayers. This type
of unfair competition with private
citizens destroys highly taxed private
business with the result that remain
ing private property is forced to
carry a heavier tax load to offset the
deficits thus created.
Without a doubt supporters of tax
exempt, socialized government COM
petition with private citizens, VIII
strenuously oppose this bill. If it is
passed, the tremendous subsidies
which political business enterprises
now enjoy, will be wiped out and a
foundation of tax equality and justice
established, which will offer tremen-
dous encouragement to private initia-
tive and enterprise.
Take a specific example to show
the taxpayers interest in this bill:
The Federal Government has now
authorized initial appropriations of
some 9,1OO, 900, 900 for two power
projects on the Columbia River to
build duplicate electric plants in a
territory already oversupplied with
power. Under the present laws, these
business ventures which will cripple
or destroy the earnings and tax-pay-
ing ability of private plants, will be
entirely exempt from taxation. They
perform no necessary function OF
government for all the people and
will serve but a limited number of
privileged users from properties paid
for by all the people of the United
States.

Speed Breeds Death

One of the most serious aspects Of
the automobile accident problem is a
constant increase in the number of
fatalities per accident. In 1888, for
example, the number injured non
fatally increased % per cent over
19S2-while fatalities jumped So per
cent.
The reason for this is obvious: Ex-
cessive speed. 1t is an incontrovert-
ible maxim that the chance of an ac-
cident producing a fatality become
greater as the speed of cars involve
increases. A vivid example of this is
provided by comparing last year with
1927. Registrations in 1888 were less
than 3 per cent above the 1927 level.
The total number Of miles driven by
passenger al was little, if any.
greater. But there were II per cent
more deaths.
A recent exhaustive survey pro
duced the fact that excessive speed
was responsible for 33 per cent of all
automobile deaths. And that term,
Excessive speed" needs a definition.
There are times when fifteen miles
an hour is dangerous and there are
times over fifty miles and hour is
over cautious. Road, weather condi-
lions the amount Of traffic and
the experience of the driver
the condition of the car-these fact
ors, rather than a mere speedometei
reading, are the tests of safe operat-
ing speeds.
Any speed is unsafe if the driver
is unable to stop his al in the assur-
ed clear distance ahead. Road and
weather vary the safety factor.
Study your car and your own cap
abilities. Discover how soon you can
stop at varying speeds. This is indis-
p~ensable in becoming a safe motor
list.

Washington Judge Follows
Air Mail Justice in Sent
encing BOy.

WASHINGTON, March 28-(CNS
Judge Isaac R. Hit, of the Police
Court recently sentenced a young Ne
gro lad to serve so days in Jail be-
a policeman testified he "sus-
pected him" Of being an habitual
thief.
Comment on the case likened the
Judges action to the air mail de-
cision Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton but before the lapse of 80 hours
the judge revoked the jail sentence
and placed the youth on probation
for n year.
Charged with the theft of a So
jacket, Willis Fairfax, colored, stud
ent at the Francis Junior High
School, was arraigned before Judge
Isaac R. Hit in Police Court. He
pleaded guilty to taking the jacket
from a school locker.
The youth had no previous record,
it was testified, and finally returned
the stolen property to its rightful
owner. In view of his first offense,
Judge Hit announced he would place
the boy on probation.
The judge was about SO to rule
when Policeman Edward Tucker Of
the Third Precinct, volunteered to
testify. He said: I'VE have suspect
ed this boy Of thefts, but
have never been able to prove he was
guilty. He has been questioned sew
eral times regarding missing articles
at the school,"
After the poficeman's testimony,
Judge Hit reversed his decision and
sentenced the youth to so days in jail.
No attorney was assigned to defend
the boy and he pleaded his own case.
Questioned later, Judge HIT de-
clared: Il sentenced him because of
his record. If he had been convicted
before would have sentenced him to
. year. His age has nothing to dc
with the cas From II to 81 is the
criminal age now"
Twenty-four hours after this pecu.
liar sentence went into effect, Judp,
Hit had the boy brought back int
court and said to him: "It was m,
intention to keep you in Jail owe
night SO that you might realize tn,
seriousness of taking things that dix
not belong to you. ! am doing to plac,
you on probation for one year, but i
you come back here again you will b

Within the whole gamut Of seeing

able or more patheticallyi weak than
this insistent contention that the Ne
gro's highest ambition is social
equality eliminating inter marriage

races A study of conditions observa-
ton of the natural tendency Of col

their own and avoid such with white
peope ought to convince any n that
the ground is untenable. It is now
being very seriously questioned
whether the white people who keep
up this contention really believe it
themselves.
The colored man insists that MEM
bers of the different have the
right to marry if they choose; that
the laws forbidding such are unjust
and are q violation of the spirit OF
the Declaration Of Independence and
Of the Constitution of the United
States but in all probability II there
were no such restrictions seldom

WING SOUGHT
New Efforts to Speed Work
Will Be Made by
Officials,

New efforts will be made by local
officials to speed the building of
the proposed north wing to the
federal building, it was learned to-
day.
Because of the limited space in
the present building, activities of
many government offices are him
dered, Wallace Buchanan. assistant
postmaster, said today.
Some functions of the postoffice
have been transferred to the
Illinois street station because Of the
limited quarters in the main post
office, he declared. This arrange
ment binders transactions of GER
tain postal activities, he said.
insufficient Customs Space
Because of the increase in the
liquor imports to the country, the
United States customs office now
has insufficient space to carry on
its activities.
Many federal departments are
forced to rent space in other down.
town buildings.
Establishment of the regional
labor board here necessitated taking
over quarters of the federal grand
jury, which causes much incon-
venience when the grand jury is in
session, Mr. Buchanan pointed out.
Some important federal offices
even have been established on the
fourth floor. intended for storage,
of the building, Mr.. Buchanan said.
Although plans for the wing re-
ceived federal sanction several years
ago, no steps have been taken
towards the erection OF the wing.
Early Survey Made
In anticipation of the erection of
the new wing, the postal depart
ment made q preliminary survey
more than a year ago so that build
ing activities could begin immedi
ately.
Plans were approved by govern
ment authorities and the money
appropriated. 1t was understood
that the $1,080,000 grant for the
structure was used during the last
year by the federal emergency relief
administration.
Funds for the wing probably will
come only if Harold Ickes, public
works administrator, allows an ap-
preparation for the project, local
authorities believe.
The local firm of Mcclure &
Shook has been engaged as archi-
tects for the wing The plans for
the structure provided for erection
