W.p. DEFICIENCY
BILL IS SIGNED
BY ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3 CUP -
President Roosevelt today signed
the $250,O00,O0O Works Progress de-
ficiency appropriation bill.
The speedy signature by the
President will enable WPA to place
in6 immediate effect its program
for increasing relief rolls to ac-
commodate mounting numbers of
idle workers.
1t was estimated that the added
appropriation will enaube the WPA
to provide for an average of 100000
more on its rolls between now and
June than would have been possible
under the existing appropriation.

' noon Monday, West said. The best
time and place to have a check OF
assessments with the county, he
declared, is with the field deputy
when he is on the ground because
he has the authority to make any
assessment or settle any dispute
which arises. The assessment
period begins the first Monday in
March and closes the first Monday
in July. All property owners should
confer with Wiest's office during
this period concerning all matters
affecting assessment of property.
$1,000 Exemption
Section IL, article 13, of the
constitution provides for exemp-
tion Of $1,000 for veterans, West
explained Section IL of the same
article provides for exemption of
church property used for religious
worship Forms for making affi-
daYits for exemption may be OBJ
tanned from any field deputy or
from the assessor collectors office
in the county court house. The
date for filing the exemptions ex-
pires June 25, an earlier date than
was the case in prior years. The
legislature changed the date to
June 25. All properties, West
warned, against which an affidavit
has not been filed will be charged
on the assessment rolls.
West announced the field dep
utieS schedules as follows:
Alex Meyer, Brawley city. Meyer

Negro in Democratic Party
A Misfit-Like A Fly in A

You can't make a silk dress
out of a Croker ack. Neither
can you crazy Democrats make
a worthwhile Democrat out of
a Negro. First, they are not of
the material that would enable
a Negro to be real Democrat.
High class white Democrats

use this term advisedly, believe
in staying where they belong

political privileges. But al

growth of in the breast of
human beings who are not a
frald to face the true issues of
life. His discourse was not
tainted with "Uncle Tom" philo-
sophy or hypocrisy. He has liv-
ed long enough to know that it
is far better to die penniless and
have the youth of his, or rather
our, race chant his memories
forever afterwards than stifle
his soul by bringing to any of
his audience a false prophesy in
these perlous and dangerous
hours of any minority.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Mitchell
of the Afro-American stated
that every Negro who had ever
championed the cause of our
race died from the effects there
of and before death went into
total oblivion, dying penniless.
He named many of our most
brilliant leaders who have pass
ed into the great beyond to sub
stantiate his argument. l must
confess that much that Mr..
Mitchell said was true in this
respect but every race has had
it's martyrs in this respect. We
must remember that the onl y
method by which we will ever be
able to carry the torch of truth
to the generations unborn for a
number of years to come will be
by the way of word and mouth
on scuh occasions as we witness
ed last Sunday. 1t is not neces-
sary to state that such sermons
to oru race are far better than
hearing from the pulpit that
I'VE are born to die" That fact
to reach us after our advent in
is one of the first informations
to this world. What the Negro
must learn is, HOW TO LIVE
AND STOP EXISTING. Dean
Pickens endeavored to bring
this fact to us so wildly Sunday
that no one should have gone
away without a greater deter
mination to Great within him
self and those whom he daily
contacted the desire to. get more
out of life by really LIVING and
not being contented to EXIST
as we have during the past rs
years.
The NAACP, and the County
Civic League did themselves
proud in bringing such a fine
scholar to our county. 1t would
have been fine thing for the
intelligent members of the white
race to have had representative
OF their race present to learn at

Dean PiekeRs and Our Problems

We went to the home of the
Black World War Legion at
Kimball last Sunday in large re-
preventative numbers to hear
that scholarly master of thought
who years ago graduated from
renown Yale University. Dur
ing his student life at that
Cathedral of Learning he re-
manned there long enough to
win the highly coveted pre- in
Oratory. l was glad that God
blessed me with faculties suffi-
cient to appreciate those facts
which this brilliant Negro
brought to his race in t he s e
hills and valleys of industrial
and economic struggle for exist
ance.
Dean William Pickens did not
compromise himself at any
time during that hour of wonder
tul discussion filed with logic
and reason. He expressed many
