million workers without jobs last
March. The relief charts in the PAM
phlet show that the percentage of the
population on relief last may was
smaller in the southeast where dole
payments were lower than elsewhere.
The southeast, containing 22h per-
cent of the nations population, made
up 18 percent Of the total on the dole,
with an average monthly dole OF
$3.50 per family.
New England, with even and a half
percent of the population, had an
equal percentage on relief, with an
average monthly dole of $45.
The Pacific coast, with seven and a
half percent of the population, fur
nished only six percent of those on
the dole, with monthly payments of
$42.50.
The central agricultural and noun
tain states, with 25h percent of the
population, made up q percent of the
relief population with an average
monthly dole of $3.50.
The northeastern section, with 4011a
percent of the population, furnished
AZ percent of those on relief and an
average dole of $3.50.
The pamphlet points out, in this
connection, that the size of grants, "is
effected by the cost of living, the eli
mate, the existence of home produced
foods or other income and the extent
to which relief consists of the more
expensive work relief grants"

ROAD COMMISSION
STUDY|NGH|GHWAY
"Serious" Thought Being
Given Improvement of
Route to Annapolis.
ev the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, September 20.-The
State Roads Commission is giving
'very serious thought" to the Defense
Highway and is making an exhaustive
survey" to ascertain the best way TO
provide additional traffic facilities be-
tween Annapolis and Washington,
Senator Ridgley P. Melvin, Democrat,
of Anne Arundel, announced after re-
oeiving a letter from DR.. Homer E.
Tabler, chairman of the commission.
Senator Melvin recently called upon
the commission to formulate. in ad-
vance Of the special session of the
, Legislature, definite program for
widening and Strengthening the De-
fense Highway. He said that some
years ago similar program had been
abandoned and that the road was
getting more inadequate and unsafe
all the time.
Special Action Required.
The Senator took the position that
the time for mere comment has
passed and that special action was
required, either by the State Roads
Commission on its own initiative or
by mandate from the Legislature.
DR.. Tabler, in his reply, made it
plain that the attitude of the COM
mission is to draw up a program and
that as soon as the necessary data is
assembled further steps will be taken
Senator Melvin said that improved
traffic facilities between here and
Washington are now assured, both by
safeguarding the Defense Highway
and also by making use of the David
sonville route to Washington.
This latter route. recently opened,
he pointed out, will serve a useful
purpose in relieving the congested
traffic condition on the Defense High
way.
Senator Melvin said he did not
know whether the survey being made
by the Roads Commission will show
the feasibility Of practically rebuilding
the Defense Highway, IN its present
location. or simply eliminating the
worst curves and grades. or of con-
centratlng on another route. such as
from Annapolis through Davidson
VILE to Central avenue, Washington.
The Senator also announced that
the Roads Commission has included
in its present program for the An
napolis- Baltimore Boulevard the elm
ination of curves north of the Severn
River Bridge, He said DR.. Tabler as
sured him this would be done in the
near future, cared for in advertising
for bids for portions of this highway

ROAMING the BOOKSHELF

cilities for good and wholesome
living, are very one-sided. One un
familiar with the conditions would
be led to believe that the commun-
tiles where Negroes reside are
places of horror and unfit for re-
spectacle citizens to live in. This
is very erroneous.
The author gives some credit to
politicians for the appointment to
lucrative jobs ON the police force
and in the school system. In these
two departments the employment
and promotions are based entirely
upon Civil Service examinations.
Reference is made to the number
of jobs held in the various depart
nents Of the city, country, and
state; too frequent mention being
made of how the color barrier has
been oversome. do feel that by
now our students and authors Of
sociological problems should be
magnanimous enough in heart
big enough In vision, and sincere
enough in purpose, to relate the
story of the miraculous progress of
the Negro without constantly re-
minding him of his handicaps on
account of color. Such authors
aggravate the evils. and fan the
flames of racial antipsthy by con-
slant and Unnecessary references.
Contrary to the view of the au-
thor, the Negro politician has not
been opposed to efficiency in gov
eminent. While thinking of the
affairs of ( tate, he has had the
added responsibility of thinking for
the best interest of his race. 1t
has been my view of the Negro
politician who really wants to lead
and serve, that eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" whether in
the City Council, the State Legis-
lature, or the halls OF Congress.
For the past quarter of century
or more, the progress of the Ne
gro IN all fields in Chicago has
served as an inspiration to the Ne
groes of America; Chicago has
been looked upon as the greatest
Mecca and the nerve center of
Negro life In home ownership,
church life, and better social con-
ditions of the race. This has been
made possible by the power of the
ballot used to promote the interest
of all concerned.
1 foil that the author before re
leasing his book should have made
a thorough and complete survey of
the race and the localities occup-
led by them, together with person
al interviews Of the individuals
upon whose biographies he bases
his book.

HUGH M. DORSEY AGAIN In news

crime. The pamphlet was reprint
ed aud widely circulated.
Now Hugh M. Dorsey has come
out big" again in this Herndon
case. But it costs to be big IN this
little woodland especially in Ge-
orgia-and more especially in mat
tiers concerning the Negro race.
Years ago when Dorsey made his
famous attack on lynching, we all
knew 1t would hinder his political
advancement. Governors Of south
ern states are usually headed for
the United States Senate, or other
national honors, after they retire
as governors. Dorsey did not get
to the senate.
He did manage to become a
Judge IL Georgia. But this effort
to rescue civilization from a saw
age law there win like stand In his
way again. We hope nc gets sat
isfaction out Of being big" for
that is the most he win get out of
it.
We hope, with Herndon, that the
Supreme Court Of Georgia will a.
gree with Dorsey. II not, we hope
the United States Supreme Court
win agree with Dorsey. We shall
soon see.
The fool law under which Hern-
don has been convicted is a men,
ace to white as well as to black in
Georgia--and Dorsey is trying to
save the whites there. But whites
often prefer to stay down in the
ditch, with the Negro under them"
rather than to get out Of the ditch
and let the Negro out at the same
time. Herndon win either set CIV
ilization forward in Georgia, or set
it back. We shall soon see.
