Maryland Governor
Would Equalize
Teachers Salaries

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 6-Govcrnor
Harry w. Nioa on December 28
nnuonced that he would initiate
the necessary steps to equalize the
salaries paid to white and Negro
teachers in the state. This will
mean an increase of $486,000 in the
annual salaries of Negro teachers
throughout the STATE.
Governor Nice stated that a
number of distinguished lawyers in
Maryland had informed him hat
the law now on the statute books
providing one saary scale for
white teachers and a much lower
salary scale for Negro teachers
WIS totally unconstitutional"
At the present time Maryland
works its discrimination through
a state law which puts salaries for
white TEACHERS on a yearly basis.
The minimum salary for a white
teacher in elementary schools is
5000 per year, but for a Negro
teacher $40 per month. In an eight
month school term the Negro ele-
mentary teacer receives $3.50 less
than the white elementary teacher.
A white high school teacher re
ceives a minimum salary of $1,150
por year, while a Negro high
school teachers receives $50 per
month, which makes a differential
of $50 against the Negro high
school teacher in an eight month
term.
Ma. A. {. p. Attacks Law
The law and the salary scales
have been attack by lawyers Of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
acting for teachers in Montgomery
county and Calvert county, Mary
land. The NAACP legal staff con-
tends that statute setting up sep
arate salary scales for public
school teachers based solely on
race violates the Fourteenth
Amendment to the United States

porbars Of federal anti-lynehing
legislation modified their forces
today for a final drive for passage
Ct the Gavagan-W Van Mugs
bill which come to the floor Of
the Senate this week.
While Washington observers are
practically unanimous in agreeing
that the bill will be passed il it
can be got to a vote. they are also
predicting that there will be a
stubborn resistance and that the
supporters Of the measure can
not relax for one instant until the
vote is taken.
More than 20 senators at one
TINS or another pledged in writing
to vote for the bill or indicated
unmstakenably in polls and other
ways that they were in favor of
it. However, there is always a pos

it is known that many attempts
will be made to amend it so as to
take the teeth out of it.
Senator William f. Borah of

Power Company Has
Gain In 1897 Business

The Nebraska Power Company,
during 1897, continued to carry
forward its function of supplying
new and old customers with elect
ric service and. at the Same tine,
carried out a construction program
which had as its aim better service
for the people of eastern Nebraska
and western Iowa, J. E Davidson,
president, said today in a year end
statement.
The generating plant of the
Company produced, in 1887 415,
100000 kilowatt hours of electric ty
IN increase of 100000 XVIII over
1886 production figures said Mr..
Davidson. This increase in gener
alton of electricity meant addition
al service and benefit to the eus
toners of the Company.
"The year just ended witnessed
much construction work of a per
manent nature, including farm
lines, overhead and underground
systems and additions and improve
ments to the generating station.
to provide for the needs of custom
rs Over $1,400,0OO was spent for
this work during 1887. and a like
amount has been budgeted for con
struc, ion work during 1888. The
principal work to be done in 1893
will be the construction of the new
South Omaha steam and electric
g. nerating plant which will be
completed during the year. This
project is now furnishing employ
ment for as many as 165 men.
The year 1897 saw electricity
brought to many farms in the
Nebraska Power Company terri
tory. At the close of the year,
approximately rs per cent of all
farms in the company's territory
had awaited themselves of the ad
vantages of electric service, com
pared with an average of 10 per
cent for the state of Nebraska as
a whole. Nebraska Power Company
is prepared to supply electric ser
vice to all those farmers who de
sire it, within its economic service
area
According to MI. Davidson, a
marked advancement in 1887 was
shown in the sale of electrical APP
planes. The records show that the
total sun spent by customers of
Nebraska Power Company in 1897
with dealers and in electric shops
was $3,595,O00 as compared with
$3,281,000 in 1886, and increase of
almost 10 per cent.
The year 1887 also brought more
residential customers to the Com
pany, bringing the present total
number of residential customers to
71,300-the largest in the history
of the eompany-as compared with
10000 in 1896.

dodging federalist bullets.
Unlike the old days, however, when re-
volt was frequent and merely expressed
personal ambition. the new insurrection
is fraught with deep political and social
significance. Mexico under Cardenas has
become a nation Of socialized industry,
labor management and operation of the
railroads, government operation Of the oil
industry, strikes, class struggle, mill
tarized labor militia, and all the other
manifestations of social revolution.
Symbols Of Conflict.
Cardenas and Cedillo are symbols Of
the profound conflict which has been
gathering for four years. Their personali-
ties and ideas exemplify the opposed
principles for which they are struggling.
Behind Cardenas is MARKHAM Socialism
with its precepts Of class struggle and
revolution from below; behind Cedillo
is latent Fascism and its precepts Of
class correlation and reform from above.
How far Cedillo will succeed in stemming
the tide of Socialism depends upon how
far conservative forces-landowners in
dustrialists, clergy and military factions,
which resent the dominance Of labor
rally around the San Luis dictator with
arms and money.
Without q nationwide mobilization Of
conservatives Cedillo's insurrection Is
doomed to languish in the mountains; with
the arms and money the wealthy classes
might provide and possible foreign assist
ance, Mexico may plunge into the vortex
of civil strife.
In the present situation President Car
denas enjoys degree of popular support
rare in Mexican history, but Cedillo has
drawn about himself a small band of in
tensely devoted agrarians who will fight
and die for him, if necessary.
Benevolent Despot.
Their devotion to the Lord of Las Palo-
mas" is the product of is years Of benevo-
lent despotism. Benevolent because Cedillo
has striven to elevate the indians Of San
Luis by grants Of land to those capable
Of tilling the soil, farm training for those
who are not and creation Of vast system
Of irrigation to raise the productivity Of
their land. Despotic because he has taken
the land from rich landowners, despoiled
the finances Of the state to pay for his
benefactions, and ruled with an iron hand.
His dictatorship grew out Of his early
yearning to better the lot Of his people,
the Indians Of San Luis Potosi. Born
November 29, 1876, at Ciudad de Maiz Of
mestizo parentage, he was the only one Of
four brothers to survive the civil wars after
the downfall Of Dictator Porfirio Diaz in
1911.
His young aspirations brought him into
frequent conflict with the dictator. So,
when Francisco Madero issued his mani
festo against Diax at San Luis in Potosi
City in 1910, Cedillo threw in his lot with
him and stood by him against victoriano
Huerta In 1913. With Huerta President
hs took to The mountains, and for . NUM-

began his rise to affluence and political
power
From 1923 until his present flight from
Las Palomas, Cedillo entrenched himself on
his expanding estate, into the form Of which
he aspires to make over Mexico. Here he
acquired more and more land, granting it
to the peasants, arming them. building his
own private arsenal and sitting as the
single ruler of San Luis Potosi regardless
Of the administration at Mexico City. BY
1885 he was reputed to have an army of
more than 10000 men. all armed; $50 ma
chine guns, 20 bombing planes and high
power radio station. It was one Of these
planes which attempted to bomb the head
quarters of President Cardenas near the
city of San Luis Potosi a week ago.
After four years as military commander
in San Luis the ex-bandit was elected
Governor Of the state, his four-year tenure
of that office being marked by rapproche-
ment between all social classes, without
distinction of creed or faction. and the
absence Of strikes of any kind.
So completely did he fasten his hold
upon his territory that-no matter of i'm
portance concerning San Luis Potosi could
be taken up with the federal government
without prior consultation with Cedillo
Ruling the state through puppet gov
ernors after retiring in 1881, Cedillo en-
tered the national political scene in 1882
by occupying for short while the secre-
taryship of agriculture under President
Ortiz Rubio. He was a member Of the
Executive Committee of the National Revo-
lutionary party when 1t met in 1888 at
Queretaro to nominate Cardenas for the
presidency and draft the six-year plan for
the socialization of Mexico, in fulf1llment
Of which the oil companies were expro-
priated
Conservative Leader.
His participation in the leadership of
the party was conservative and although
he pays tribute to the Socialist ideal he
has no sympathy for the ultra-radical
tendencies of Cardenas, which revealed
themselves fully only after he became
President.
Thus, when in 1885 Gales and Cardenas
came 10 u S1lOWOOWA ONcA tAAC 1ACoANSAAV .
determination to carry out the six-year
plan to the letter, Cardenas gestured for
the support of the conservative element by
appointing Cedillo secretary Of agriculture.
But there was never harmony between
the two. Cardenas hastened the seizure
and distribution Of land, creating COM
munal "ejidos" wherein peasants worked
tho land comparatively and received ad-
vances from the state against the latter
marketing of their crops. Land distribu-
tions were going on more rapidly than at
any time since the adoption Of the consti-
tuition Of 1917. Coupled with this was Car
denas' growing socialization Of industry and
commerce, encouragement of strikes and
general harassment Of the propertied
classes.
With these ideas Cedillo was In direct
conflict. He blieved the socialization move
ment should be toned down in order to get
money from industry and commerce with
which to finance agrarian reforms. Further
more, he fought against the mass seizures
Of land and their ALLEGATION among the
