According to an audit of the city s
rolls just completed, 81 per cent of
the property in the city of El Gen.
tro is held by nonresident owners.
Therefore 81 per cent of the one
mill levy for advertising the city
of El Centre is paid with outside
capital, bringing new money into
El Centre for the city's develop
ment, for publicity and promotion
al purposes. This is the only way
of making outside property owners
contribute to the advertising of the
city and to maintenance of the
chamber of commerce. The vote
on April 8, should therefore be
NO. on the proposition which
appears on the ballot as Ordinance
375.
Ordinance 375. which is the only
proposition appearing on the bal
lot. seeks 10 revoke the one-mill
levy. This proposition should be
defeated by an overwhelming mo-
vote. thus continuing this 81 per
cent support of the city and the
chamber of commerce with outside
capital.
Nonresident property owners and
nonresident property derive equal
benefit from rise in property
values and the general growth OF
the city. It is fair that they should
contribute their share to the cost of
such increase and development.
The present method of a one-mill
levy for this purpose should be con-
tinued. This is accomplished by
voting against revocation of the
plan, and by voting "NO' at the
approaching election.

T T FOR ANTI
LYNCH BILL BEHIND
THE SCENES
Senators Costigan and Wagner Con-
fer with Senator Jos Robinson On
Date for Bringing Up Measure;
Revision to be Urged From Floor

New York City-A quiet, but in
tense battle for the Costigan-Wagner
anti-lynching bill is being waged be-
hid the scenes n Washington it was
learned this week by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
Friends of the bill are pushing for
it to be brought up on the floor for
a vote, confident that they have
enough votes to pass it if they can
get it on the calendar. Opponents
are pulling every wire to prevent the
bill coming up.
1t is believed that the White House
favors the bill, but so far, the Presi-
dent has not put it on his list of pre-
ferred legislation.
Confer on Date
Senator Costigan and Wagner
conferred Thursday with Senator Joe
Robinson of Arkansas, majority leader
m the senate, in an attempt to smooth
the pathway Of the anti-lynching bill.
The results of the conference have
not been made known.
All supporters of the bill, both OF
CARNATIONS and individuals, are urged
to write or wire President Roosevelt
ugrng him to insist on action on this
bill before Congress adjournes. They
are also urged to wire their senators
asking that the bill be revised when
it comes up so as to strike out the
words: Gin the custody of any peace
officer which can be found on page
1, line 8 of the bill.
If this phrase remains in the bill
the law will apply only to those per-
IONS lynched while in the custody OF
officers. Tt is well known that many
lynchings occur where the victims
nave nOC y0L DtCn di1OSOCu SA5
have been permitted to escape so that
a mob could kill them.

Mr.. White pointed out that accord
ing to latest advices there were
enough votes pledged for the bill to
pass if it could be got up for a
vote. Mr.. White also dealt with the
much-discussed objection to the bill
that of the liability clause against the
counties where a lynching occurs.
He pointed out to the President that
eleven states have anti-lynching laws
which contain this liability clause and
that the clause has been upheld as
constitutional by state courts. MI.
White also cited the recent book of
Prof. J.. H. Chadbourn Of the Uni
versity Of North Carolina law school,
which declares that in South Caro-
lima the number Of lynchings in the
state declined sharpely after the I'M
position of such a penalty and that
pezIIsusd uesq psq qoIqM Alunoo on
had ever had a second lynching.
At the suggestion of the President
a memorandum was prepared by the
n. A.. A. C. P. and sent him convern-
ing this section Of the bill Mr..
White urged upon the Chief Execu-
tive the necessity of the bill being
voted upon at this session of Congress
Would Wipe Out Restriction
The N. A. A. C. P. has also pre-
pared a memorandum and sent it to
all members of Congress pointing out
why it is necessary to lift the restrie-
tions Of the Costigan-Wagner bill so
that it will apply to all ~lynchings
and not simply to those where the
victims are taken from peace off
icers.
The memorandum shows that OF
the 55e lynchings which have occur
red from 1918 to date, S08 have been
persons not taken from peace off
icers.
Thus if the Costigan-Wagner bill
is passed as it is now worded, it will
apply to only an average of 49 per
cent of the lynchings. Fifty-five per
sent would not be affected by the
bill.
All persons and organizations in
terested in this bill are asked to write
the President and urge him to US
his influence to see the bill comes u
fer a vste.

Bill in Peril
The Costigan- Wagner bill so far
has had comparatively smooth sailing,
according to the N. A. A. c. p, but
is nov in real peril. 1t is known
around Washington that, in an effort
to adjourn congress, several bills may
be sacrificed; the labor disputes bill
the unemployment insurance bill and
the anti-ynching bill.
"We call upon supporters for the
newed effort" the statement said
''To date far more than half the en-.
dorsers and active workers for this
bill have been white people and many
of them from the South. We think
it would be a tragedy if this bill
should fail to gain proper consider
alton because of the apathy Of
