IN. We w.uld be nike a city be-
legged. We would he subject 10

That is the real reason why we OBJ

ject to association with our own
but because segregation Invariably
and inevitably uts us "out on a
limb" It's terrible consequences
are so clear that failure to compre-
bend its dangers amount almost to
stupidity. For instance, if colored
people were permitted to live where
ever they could pay the rent, and
white and colored lived in the same
neighborhoods, the residents would
receive equal treatment. They
could not pave the streets in front
of the houses just occupied by
white folks. They could not col
lect the garbage for white families
every day and that of the colored
families once a month. They could
not single out the neighborhood as
a Negro crime center, and if the
n~eighborhood was improved by mo-
dern lighting, sewage and fire pro-
lection it would have to be done for
the colored residents as well as the
white. The same is true of color
when colored men and women be-
long to the same labor unions as
white men and women. oYou can
not make one scale of wages for the
white members and another for the
colored. But when they must be
organized in separate Unions Of the
same craft or trade, it is not I'M
common in some sections of the
country for the wage scale for col
ored workers to be lower than that
Of white workers. In other words,
the Negro can be isolated and
therefore singled out for special
treatment, USUALLY especially bad
treatment.
If this is true in labor and in
community living, it is no less true
of business enterprise. Negro bus
mess as such has made a fairly
good record, but it still has a long
way to go. We as business men
lack capital, lack knowledge Of
business practices which you can't
learn in school, lack contact with
sources of information as to what |
IS going on in the business world.

whether it is an issue of new stocks

late. When it gets in the papers
you can be sure that everything
has been cut and dried. We new

reason is we are isolated in our

Well, what's the answer? The
answer is that we must cease to

IF i~nterracial cooperation is neces-

must join together wit! white men
and women to expand Jul business

with those who have access to the

It is a very strange and some

! c. B. Lund, Regional Admnilstra-

| half-year of operation of this fis
cal year, the NYA has assisted,
through it's war program and stu
dent work program, in the State OF
Nebraska. a total Of S,12S young
people.
The young men and women as
signed to the war training pro-
jects in the five states of North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota during the
first six months of this fiscal year
produced a total Of 2,963,315 items
of value in the war activity. The
estimated market value Of the it.
ems produced total in excess of
three-million dollars.
The production work is an int
grail part of the training philosophy
of the NYA program. While in
training, the youth produced actual
job orders comparable to those
found in war industry. In addition
to the war production program, the
War Manpower Commission, thru
the National Youth Administration,
has established a number of Farm
Shops throughout the Region
where young people receive train

GROUP IN ACCORD
ON PAY.GO PLAN
CANCELLATION OF LEVIES
UNDER $50 N
BILL GOES TO HOUSE


Breaking a five-day deadlock,
senate and house c%onferees late
Tuesday agreed on a compromise
pay-as-you-go income tax collect
ion plan which would cancel a full
years taxes for persons owing $50
or less, and rs percent of one years
taxes for others.
To put taxpayers on a current
basis, a 20 percent Withholding levy
above basic exemptions would be
installed against wages and salar-
les, effective July 1.
The residual 25 percent of one
years tax-1942 or 1943, which
ever is the lesser-would be pay
able over a two year period, 1914
and 1915.
SPECIAL NOTCH PROVISION
A special notch" provision will
be written to equalize the amount
of forgiveness for a person just I'm
der the $50 figure and those slight
ly above. The terms of that pro-
vision have not yet been decided.
Persons with incomes other than
wages and salaries, including those
receiving income from business,
professions, rents and royalties, in
terest and dividends would be re-
quired to file an estimate by March
Is on the current taxable years in
come and they would pay their tax
es in four equal installments.
PAYMENTS COUNTED
Since most taxpayers have filed
their 1912 returns on March Is
their payments on March Is and
June Is, 1913, will be treated as
payments on current tax liabilities.
The decision of the committee,
appointed to adjust senate and
house versions of the long contro-
verted legislation was reached by
a vote of II to 8.
The compromise goes first to the
house for approval, then to the
senate. Chairman Doughton (dem.,
IN CO. of the house conferees said
he hoped to call it UP late this week
and was hopeful Of approval of
both houses.
Doughton estimated the bill
! would abate about six billion dol
lars of n years tax liability, or
about ga percent of the total taxes
for a year.
The agreement broke a stubborn
deadlock between the tax experts
of the two houses of congress.
Doughton would make no guess
as to what effect final approval Of
the bill might have on the presid-
ent's request for an additional 16
billion dollars this year in taxes
and savings. He said he hoped the
president would approve the CON-
promise.
