Statement to Press by
DIR. Vernon r. Thomas

A Misunderstanding of the pur-
poses of our organization in the
campaign to free the home and
farm from taxation in Nebraska
to the extent OF $4,000 appears in
the belief of some that homeowners
are seeking to entirely evade tax
alton.
1t is agreed by all that home
ownership, construction and inn
provement is being discouraged and
delayed by the present tax system,
in Nebraska.
Such broadening of the tax
hase would continue the tax pay
ing by the home owner in common
with all others but would remove
the penalty on building and inn
provement and remove the menace
of the tax lien on homestead.
A meeting to which the public Is
invited will be held at the Rome
hotel, in the Crystal Room, Tues
day evening May 18h at 800.

ong Negroes, passed unanimously
2 resolution at the session of the

eve recognize mob violence and
the lynching evil as blots upon the
escutcheon of our American nation,
q disgrace before the eyes of the

and inhumanities as exhibited in
too many instances, has awakened
the American conscience to the
danger of furnishing the American
mlHu WlIH d AlIIllIld1 IllJs INObliS
from the record that by far the
greater number of lynched victims
are Negroes which leads to the i'm
preston that lynching is largely
based on racial prejudice, race hat
red, economic rivalry and politial
agitation.
"In view of the fact that the lyn-
ching POLLEN has come to the fore
drought the passage of the Gava-
gan Federal Anti-Lyncing bill by
the House of Representatives and
now rests with the United States
Senate.
"Be it resolved, The the College
Of Bishops and the General Con-
nectional Board of the Colored Me-
thodist Episcopal church, herein
condemn lynching and mob violence
in all forms and for any reason.
We believe in law and order, and
we condemn crime of every kind.
"Resolved secondly, That we ap-
prove of the Gavagan anti-lynch-
ing bill as passed by the House of
Representatives and that we send
a copy of these resolutions to our
several Senator'S, and urge that
they will give whole-hearted sup
port to the passage of this pending
anti-lynching bill"
