Brown BOmberS
Basketball
Team Hits

A group of our boys between the
ages of fourteen and seventeen
years, in the vicinity of 3Sth and
Fourth avenues S., Minneapolis,
one of the few organized boys
clubs in the city, is really "going
places" and doing things!
The boys are representing the
neighborhood in the Junior Divi-
sion of the Y. M. C. A. basketball
league and are living up to the
name of Brown Bombers, blasting
their way into first place last
Thursday night. The boys are
playing heads-up basketball and
your cooperation is asked in their
effort.
Needing uniforms, the boys, un-
daunted by lack of funds, set out
to seek aid from the merchants
and friends in the neighborhood
who responded by raising funds
for eleven complete outfits.
Friends will please note the
merchants who have helped make
these things possible for our boys.

Taylor, and Markve marked the
first two days of the trial
"Joe" Taylor, the defendant, in
custody of a deputy, seemed very
cheerful and spoke to many of his
friends who were in the court
room. Taylor has lived in Mime
apolis for years and has many
friends in all walks of life. He is
partially crippled by rheumatism.
For years Taylor worked for
various railroad companies and the
Pullman Co. He was known dur
ing that period as a jovial well
hammered person who was liked by
everyone. This probably accounts
for the genuine surprise which the
unfortunate shooting occasioned.
In contrast, the dead man, Peter
son, was known as a very trouble
some character in the neighbor-
hood where he lived.
No inkling of the defense could
be obtained from Taylor's lawyers.
The trial is expected to take until
the weekend. Final details of the
trial will be published in next
weeks paper.
The shooting occurred in the
Fresno Chafe, which Taylor OPP
Grated. Taylor's statement to the
police said he shot Peterson in
self defense.

Urge Negro Be
Put mDept.
OF Agriculture

WASHINGTON, D. c. While
pne House committee on agriculture
is conducting hearings on the
$500, 100000 Bankhead-Jones farm
tenancy bill, it becomes more ap-
parent that if the Negro farmer is
to get the full benefit of legislation
enacted to assist farmers, the first
step toward that end should be the
securing Of an appointment Of a
colored man to an administrative
position in the Department of Agri-
culture. ....
Census figures show that of the
total farm population Of 31,SO9, 907
on January 1, 1896, 4,742,056 were
colored persons.
A step forward in this direction
would be the appointment of Ne
gro as Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, a position now held by
a Georgian. Such an appointment
would have a salutary political eff
feet among colored voters and give
assurance to colored farmers that
their interests would be looked af-
ter.
An example of their disadvan-
tages may be seen in their inability
to avail themselves of the benefits
of Legislation already enacted to as
sist the farmer. A large percentage
of them cannot qualify for loans
under the Farm Credit Act, which
requires stock, a financial state
ment, and unpledged property suf-
ficient to justify the loan. The
only collateral most Of them have
is their prospective crops.

AMATEUR GOLF
TOURNEY UNDER
WAY AT PHOENIX

PHOENIX, Dec. 10-CUP)-Wltn
four star divoteers highlighting the
entry list, qualifying matches for
the 18th Arizona state amateur
golf championship tournament were
under way today at the Phoenix
Country club
Unofficial observers place the out
come of the match in the wlry
hands of Russell Valentine Univer-
sity of Arizona star who is defend
ing champion.
If Valentine holds up under tough
competition from the finest golfers
in Arizona, he will walk off with
honors for second consecutive
season, they agree.
However, the student tee star ap-
pears slightly out OF condition, and
may sag curing the four days OF
strenuous play which will halt on
ly when the sun goes down Sun
day.
And if those hands falter, just
once or twice, there are many who
would step into his size 10, cleated
broga11S.
Foremost competitor, on the basis
of pre-tourney play, will be Dave
Peter, pride of the Phoenix club.
Playing over his home course,
Peter stands good chance of meet
ing the champion in the finals.
A dangerous but erratic player is
Kim Bannister, Jr,, present South
western Golf association titleholder
who is rated among the foremost
club-swingers in the nation-when
he is in condition. Bannister, how
ever, has been off the turf more
often than on during the fall.
Ready to teach the young boys
how to 60 around under par is Kim

today, the entry list was being par

Students To Vote

sumption of athletic relations with
Phoenix Union high school, which
we're served after a near "riot" sew
eral weeks ago, will rest on vote

House.
This relief for business, calculat-
ed to inspire confidence and induce
capital to invest in enterprises
which will put men back to work
is regarded by all official Washing
ton as the most essential thing to
be done. That opinion is practically
unanimous in both Houses of Con-
gress and in Administration circles
from the President down.
If these tax reforms can be rush
ed through in this special session
the result would be quicker in its
effect in breaking the present bust
ness depression, but in spite of the
pressing need for such relief. Con-
gress shows signs of not letting it
self be stampeded into hasty action.
Congressional memories are keen,
and they recall that the undistri-
buted profits tax is one of the New
Deal measures which was rushed
through under pressure from the
White House
CONGRESS BECOMES WARY
This time the pressure comes from
the entire business world, but Con-
gress is apparently determined to
proceed in an orderly manner and
not to enact another law which in
it's turn will call for amendment OF
repeal in a years time. The problem
is not so much how to amend the
tax law in that respect, though
there are differences of opinion yet
to be ironed out, as it is to provide
in the same general revision Of the
tax laws some other taxes to fill
the gap in revenues which the pro-
posed action world leave.
On no question of legislation in
years has such a unanimous public
opinion been disclosed as on this
need of tax relief for capital. It has
been expressed spontaneously and

Minimum Wages
For Women To
Be Fixed
Living Conditions
Of Women Studied To
Determine Needs

PHOENIX, Dec. 10-Arizona' S
minimum wage law for women and
minors, enacted by the 18th legis-
lature, soon will be in effect, State
Industrial Commissioner Sam W..
Proctor disclosed in Phoenix in out
lining progress made toward plac-
ing the act in operation.
The industrial commission,
through its women's division, has
been quitely conducting a survey
to determine a budget that will
assure working women living
standard commensurate with health
and comfort.
Upon arriving at the budget, a
wage board representing workers,
employers and the commission will
set up the minimum wage. .
The commissions women divis-
ion, headed by Louise e. Geare and
assisted by Caroline Manning of
the q. S. department Of labor, url-
dertook the survey of living con-
citions upon request of 20 Phoenix
mattresses, who submitted petit
ton.
The wage board hearings, Proc
tor said, probably will be hel"
shortly after the first of the year
The budget survey is near con-
clusion.
In arriving at a fair budget Proc
tor said, the principal problem is
the "cost of high living" and not the
"high cost of living"
Rooming and boarding houses
and clothing stores have been ex-
amined by the commissions agents
to determine how much it is neces-
sary to spend to live in health and
adequate comfort.
The working girls budget, as ar
ranged by the commission, must
include these things: rooms with
cross ventilation, sufficient light,
a table lamp, lavatory facilities not
available to more than five or six
persons; low-priced meals with ade-
quate food value; sufficient dresses,
hose, shoes and other garments to
attractively and adequately clothe
the girl; insurance, cosmetics, en-
tertainment anG other necessities
and near-necesSities.
One wage standard should be
sufficient for Arizona, Proctor said,
pointing out that varying climatic
conditions erase most differences
which arise.
It also should cover all types Of
work, as the aim of the law is
simply to fix minimum wage suf-
ficient to maintain woman in
health and ordinary comfort.

STATE TO
FORCE TAX
ON TRUCKERS

PHOENIX, Dec. 1O-The Arizona
Corporation Commission and the
motor vehicle division of the state
highway department has moved to
force Mexico truckers hauling fish
through the state to comply with
Arizona laws.
Their action was prompted by
demands of Arizona fish truckers
that a Mexico cooperative fish
hauling organization be barred
from crossing the border-a restric
ton officials said was impossible
The American truckers COM
planned that Mexico bOycottS
them by not allowing their
trucks to cross the information
al boundary for commercial
purposes. They charged the
Mexico cooperative refuses to
sell them fish at NogaIes and
is attempting to mOnopOlize the
American distribution.
Amos A. Belts, member of the
corporation commission, said it Was
impossible for Mexico citizens to
be barred from hauling fish in Arr
zona, because that commodity Is
exempted from regulation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
However, he said, the truck oper-
ators would be required to observe
Arizona laws.
The NOgales, AriZ., truckers
who made the complaint are L.

Attended by hundreds of his
many Friends, funeral services
for Diego GallegO, II, popular
Lincoln school student, were
held at A o'clock Thursday after
noon at Sacred Heart Church,
followed by interment in the
Nogales cemetery.

a beautiful sermon, telling of the
exemplary life of the quiet and un-
assuming young boy who was call

the end he made valiant fight for
life. Blood cransfusions were given
him on Tuesday and Wednesday in
an effort to save his life. Death was

Diego was held by his host OF

ologist's explanation of the "un-

Confounding it's traditional win
tertime habit of slipping down from
Canada into the Middle West, the
polar air-masses last year embark
ed on continental shift. They
leaped the Rockies and settled them

and the Pacific Coast.
The masses appear to be moving
gradually westward, establishing a
