parison Of the three, with present
and prewar taxes:
Present 194D law: Exemptions

pendent; normal tax 3 per cent, sur
tax starts at 20 per cent on the firSt
$1,000 above exemptions.
CED: Same exemptions, tax at 10

basic exemptions, surtax starts at
3 per cent on second $4,000.
NPA CRuml-Sonne): Same ex-
emptions, tax ut Is per cent, surtax
starts at per cent on third $1,000.
Twin Cities Plan.
Twin Cities: With q 5 per cent
sales tax, exemptions 5000 single,
81, 400 married, 500 each depend
ent; without sales tax $500 single
81 200 married, $3.50 each dependent: !:
normal tax 10 per cent, surtaxes
start at 6 per cent on second $4,000
II with sales tax, at s per cent on
first $4,000 If no sales tax.
For q man with a wife and two
children, here are the indicated tax
bills on selected net incomes after
all deductions but before exemp-
tions:
Net income $2,500-Current law
$3.50; CED $50 to 500; NPA $50;
Twin Cities $50 to $50. This family
would have paid no tax back in 1899.
Net income ,000-Current law
$505; CED 1920 to $500; NPA $500;
Twin Cities $3.50 to 1898. The 1899
bill would have been around $l2.
Net income $l0,0OO-Current law
$2,245: CED $500 to $4,000; NPA
$3.50; Twin Cities 81 ,222 to 1854.
The 1889 bill would have been about
$603.
Would Cut Cooperation Tax.
Corporations, which now pay 4
combined normal and surtax of 40
per cent. and 95 per cent Of excess
profits. would be assessed l6 to 20
per cent under the CED plan. A
S per cent franchise tax plus 16
per cent of undistributed profits is
suggested by the National Planning
Association. The Twin Cities group
keeps corporate levies at 40 per

than $4,000, with reduced rates for
smaller companies.

When Is A Man
CoIored Query
In South Africa
Definition OF
Law Is Vague;
Debate Begun

CAPETOWN, South Africa
ANP)-A recent decision of the
South African government to make
additional pension grants brought
on no end of trouble when it be-
gan to temper with the color Sit
uation. The conflict may end up
with each citizen wearing a
dog tag stating whether he is
European, native or a colored
person. Debate on the subject was
begun by ]. D. Strydom, national
M. P, for Waterberg in the house
of assembly.
When is a person European,
colored or a native, ahl that is
the question. Native" has the
following definitions: (a) a men,
Der of an aboriginal race or tribe
of Africa; or (b) a Hottentot,
Bushman or Koranna: or Co a
person who residing in a native
location as defined in section 10 of
the natives taxation and develop
ment act, 1925; or Cd an Ameri-
can Negro.
Things became a bit confused
and twisted when it was asserted
that an American Negro is not re-
garded as colored or a European,
but as a, native.
The matter of distinguishing
among terms becomes more tnvol-
we'd in consideration of the follow
ing statements and questions, What
is the mixed child of an Indian
and a native? Native women marry
colored men or vice versa what is
the child from that marriage? IF
a native here intermarries a color
ed person and they have children
that grow up among the colored
here, then what are the children?
African editors, leaders and citi-
zens are demanding that Stydom
clarity such facts.

The youthful conega prexy had
been in town for three days In
conference with state board of
education officials on the curricu-
lum of the AME college. Upon
completion of his conferences he
found that it was too late for a
train to Jacksonville. He then de-
cided to travel by bus.
President Lamb states that ne
bought his ticket and was the last
person to board the bus. The en-
tire back seat was full. However,
there we're many vacant single
seats. The bus driver became re-
sentful wher. Lamb suggested that
some of the white passengers near
the back seat move forward in or
der that seats may be made avail
able. The driver was in favor of
one of the Negro passengers stand
ing during the 169 mile trip to
Jacksonville.
CURSED AND SLAPPED
President Lamb states that he
left the bus voluntarily and ac-
cepted a refund of fare. After
getting his bags which had been
checked, he was in the act of leav-
ing the bus station when the local
policemen accosted him.
'We are not satisfied with this
thing" said Officer Barrineau. "You
are smart one" With these words
the college president was escort
ed to the waiting police car.
When they arrived at the police
station the officers charged him
with disorderly conduct and ours
ing. When President Lamb denied
the charges, he was slapped and
called liar by Officer Barrineau.
The young president was given
an option of going to jail or post
ing S25 cash bond. He did not
have that amount of cash on hand.
They refused to accept a check.
He was also denied the privilege
of calling outside friends by phone
who would post the bond for him.
LATER TRANSFERRED
He was later transferred to the
Leon County jail until late in the
afternoon.
While in Jail, he was able to
contact Atty Clyde w. Atkinson
who was visiting one of his clients
there. The attorney delivered a
message to friends of the young
man and those friends were able to
obtain his release.
President Lamb would give no
statement when asked if he con-
templated entering suit against
