BUSINESS LICENSE TAX LEGISLATION
 BEING PREPARED

Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers today was readying the third bill in the basic tax program, expected to be introduced into the Legislature within a few days.
 This bill is to establish a uniform business license system ito get away from the present patchwork of H. censes, many of which bear more heavily on one type of business than another"
 The bill, if passed, would become effective at such time as Congress repeals the act which levieS busi- ness license taxes payatle to clerks of the district courts.
 Rivers commented today: Said act of Congress, which was enacted for territories in 1899, as amended by the act of June G. 1900-has al- ways been in the way of the Terri tory's establishing a uniform busi- ness license system.
 Accordingly. the bill would not become effective until Congress re- peals the old act mentioned. Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett 1 has said that enactment of a uni form system to take it's place is a first step toward getting Congress i to repeal said act.
 This is the third of three bills
 resembling those introduced as 2 basic tax program at the session two | years ago.

Few Negroes Join
Reds. Soys Priest

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-(special)
Despite the party's equal
rights" and "self-determination"
propaganda, extremely few Me-
groes are, or have been, Commun-
lists, declares Father William A.
Nolan, s. J., of the st. Louis
university social studies institute,
writing in the INTERRACIAL
REVIEW.
In his study, Communism and
the Negro, ;" which is the basis for
a doctoral thesis at Fordham uni
versity, Father Nolan points out
that Red concern with the U. 8.
Negro problem was small until
1928, when a little-known Stain
order decreed separate Negro
Soviet republic for the U. s. South.
Since then he says, the party has
alternately pushed and soft
pedaled the "self-determination"
line, in accord with Stains policy
toward the US.
At present, he continues. the
Reds again are promoting the Me-
gro VS.. White distinction, but even
''by pushing a few Negroes to the
top" they have had little success
in attracting new party candidates.
