RETAIL TRADE
COMPARISONS

The Bureau of Economic and
Business Research at the Uni
versity of Illinois has just COM
pleted estimates of retail trade
in Illinois counties. This study,
which includes figures through
the first quarter in 1913, was
made to furnish interested peo-
pie with the latest data avail
able. Estimates of retail trade
by countries are usually made
for an entire year, which means
that no figures for 1913 will
be published until some time
in 1949. The Bureau feels that
businessmen and other inter-
ested persons require and are
entitled to more up-to-date in
formation than has been fur
nished in the past.
Retail trade in Lake County
totaled $32,799,456 during the
first 3 months of 1913, 22.5
per cent greater than in the
same period last year and

During World War I, he was

Rhodesia Refuses Tax
Exemption in Low
Income Bracket

LONDOA, May Is. (ANP)-
Native Africans of Northern Rho
desia, who are in the low income
bracket, will not be exempted
from the native tax, according to
Mr.. Meyhew, M. P, here last
month. Answering a question put
to the secretary of state for the
colonies as to what recommended
tons the committee set up in
Northern Rhodesia had made on
the question of automatic exemp-
ton of Africans whose incomes
were below a certain figure, he
said:
"The committee, which included
an African member, recommended
that there should be no automatic
exemption from native tax of
Africans in urban areas whose
cash earnings are below 81 a
month, but that the present pow
ers of district officers to reduce
or remit tax should be generously
exercised when the capacity to
earn had been lost or reduced by
any cause"
He also said that he did not
know what action the Rhodesian
government had taken on the rec
concentrations.
1t was pointed out that while
Africans earning less than 81 a
month were not exempt from tax
alton, a European with a wife and
two children in the country pays
no tax until his annual income
reaches $4,000.

he would return to the gridiron
when he signed his 1913 contract
to play his third season with the
Los Angeles Rams of the National
Football league.
1t had been rumored that Wash
ington would give up the pigskin
for a motion picture career. Last
year he averaged IA yards per
try in runs to lead the league in
average yardage gained. He also
had the seasons longest run, so
yards from scrimmage, against

COP Senators Fear
Present Anti-Lynch
Bill Won't Pass

WASHINGTON, May rs. GAN
P)-Senate Republicans are in a
other over whether to water down
the present anti-lynching proposal
or scrap the bill entirely. Accord
ing to the COP group and their
northern Democratic allies here
last week, there is but the faint
est hope that the bill will get thru
the senate as is.
Either they yield to southern
pressure and allow the bill to be
watered down, or take a chance
on having it defeated. This brings
up another point. If the measure
is defeated, Republican leaders
may be forced to revise their
whole program on civil rights and
use the poll tax repeater as their
only point of action before the
two parties meet in national con-
vention. This of course would
mean a reversal of the senate
COP conferences decision that the
anti-lynching bill would be first to
go through.

Up Democratic D. G.

P)-Sec'y of the Treasury OHM
Snyder is holding up the CONVEX
sion of the old Belasco theater
from a warehouse to a first rate
theater admitting people of all
races without discrimination, a let
ter published in Equity magazine
this month revealed.
This letter, written by the
Washington Art Center associa-
ton, was written to explain how
this organization is succeeding in
it's efforts to eliminate discrimina-
ton in play and movie houses in
the nations capital.
Along with the Council for civil
rights and the rank and file citi-
zens of the District of Columbia,
the art center is cooperating with
Edith Atwater, chairman of the
committee on Discrimination Of
Actors Equity, to break down
the color bars in local theaters.
At present the treasury depart
ment is using the Belasco for a
warehouses; use which the de-
partment admits is not the best
possible. Many bidders are willing
to lease the theater and run it on
a non-segregated basis as a movie.
The Public Building administra-
ton, al agency which owns and
controls all federal buildings, owns
the Belasco. The PBA intends to
tear the building down and build
a new annex for the treasury but
it will be 10 years before the
work begins. In that time, thru

AS expected, Dunbar's distance
twins, Frank Kilgore and Lynn
Owens, captured the mil and half
mile runs respectively. Kilgore
pulled down a healthy 1922 mile,
and Owens came in at 1883 in
the half mile. Another favorite,
Vernon Stroud, tied with four 9TH

in third in the high jump.

Winner For Dunbar

Dayton's Dunbar high school
eked out a close one last Satur-
day to win the state track cham
pionship. Scoring 22h points, the
Wolverines barely nosed out Can
ton Mckinley which team amassed
20 points. Lancaster was third.
Star of the meet, however, was
Gene Cole, a 17-year-old from
Lancaster who pulled the first
triple since Jesse Owens did it
back in 1888. Cole won the 100,
220 and quarter-mile runs. The
latter he did in 48 seconds for a
new national record.
Dave Albritton deserves much
credit for whipping up such a we'll
balanced team as the Wolverines.
Dunbar won complete mastery
over all their local opposition. The
biggest nemesis has been Spring

depth of talent was able to beat
them in several relays this year.
