Negro Children
Seek To Enroll In
E. ST. Louis Schools

East St Louis, Ill.--Three groups
of Negro shoot children tried un-
successfully last week to enroll
in schools restricted to whites
children.
Twelve students of the Lincoln
junior high school for Negroes APP
piled for admission at Rock junior
high Six other Lincoln students
tried to register at the East St.
Louis High School. Both of those
groups remained in the buildings
and said they would stay there
during class hours until given in
struction.
Another group of nine grade
school students from the Attacks
school went to the Att Sta school
for admission. They were accom-
panied by two Negro adults.
William Jones, attorney for the
NAACP, East st. Louis chapter,
said he would seek a writ of man
damus in circuit court to have the
Negro children admitted to the
white schools
He said children of the two
races attend the same schools at
Belleville. There is no ground for
discrimination in Illinois, he add
ed. He said several Negro schools
are overcrowded while m e
white schools have empty rooms.

SIGN TWO NEGRO

themselves in obscurity when. the
Dodgers and Giants meet at the
Polo Grounds or Ebbets Field ra-
Their than show their allegiance to
the New Workers because Jackie
Robinson is with the Buns. The
n. y. Giants have settled all that
by signing Monte Irwin, long ball
sWatter from the Newark Eagles,
and Ford Smith, six foot right
handler from the Kansas City
Monarchs to begin their major
league chores with the Jersey
Little Giants, number one farm
club of the Giant organization.
Monte Irwin can run and hit a
long ball, and after a short per-
iod of adjusting his beam TO meet
better stuff, should find a place
somewhere in the Polo Grounder's
out field. Ford Smith, pitcher
from the Monarchs is strong

EPILEPSY CLINIC
BY Roscoe Simmons

Chicago-The modest gesture of
young woman has started action
which will bring the program of
the American and Illinois Epilep-
sy leagues within reach of un-
counted sufferers from the mala-
dy which respects neither place
nor race.
Mrs Develop Walmsey, young
woman, native of Arkansas, and
sister of Mrs. v. NJ Townsend,
and Miss Ruth Cox of 2123 Cross
street, Little Rock, Arkansas, walk
ed into the office of the Illinois
Epilepsy league, 1870 N. Wells st.
She had come to give all she pos
sessed-$l00-to the league. Be-
hind her offer lay the story of the
suffering and death of her hug
band, Edward Walmsley.
Foundation Planned
AS a memorial to Walmsley
who had been the holder of a
number of music scholarships, and
as tribute to the devotion of his
widow, the Illinois Epilepsy league
plans to set up at Provident hos
pital the Walmsley Foundation to
be administered by a south side
epilepsy committee. The founda-
ton would make the best avail
able to the large population served
by the hospital.
Walmsley died in 1946, a victim
of the age-old seizures.
The south side committee, now
being completed, will be filled by
those long concerned with the
spiritual, the physical and intel
lectual advancement of the Negro
people. mo committee" said W.
Ellis Stewart, insurance executive
and leader in civic affairs, ever
accepted a more important task"
When Mrs. Walmsley made her
modest offer she was told by
Benjamin Gray, director of the
Epilepsy league, that maybe she
had done more than she dreamed.
II Proves An Inspiration
I'VE will not take your contribu-
ton at this time Mrs. Walmsley
was told, but because you offer
it we may be able to do what we
have wanted to do; we may be able
to set up a clinic for sufferers
from this malady who are hesitant
about seeking relief. We will offer
what little we know to the hum
dreds who suffer terribly and
know less"
Mrs. Ruth Mccormick Miller,
president of the American Epi-
iepsy league and known for her
interest in the advancement of the
American Negro, was moved by
Mrs. Walmsley's offer.

we had to do something. | never

What Price Government?

Though having no part in it, I
listened to a conversation among
three men as they stood on a street
corner. Two were carpenters and
the third plasterer. All were good
American citizens, the heads of and
providers for American families.
The income of no one of the three
was under $4,000 a year.
Said one of the carpenters: THE
cost of government is entirely too
high. For my family of six, as an
average, the cost is close to $1,000
q year. l am not Red but could
as well be anarchist and get along
without any government rather
than pay such a price" The other
two were inclined to agree.
That carpenters first statement
was factual. Taxes collected by the
federal government amount to 1882
per capita each year. State, county
and municipal taxes will add at
least an additional 5000 per capita
each year. 1t means we are paying
just about $500 per capita as the
cost of government.
If those to whom we delegate the
making of our laws and the spend
ing of our money would try half as
hard to save as they do to spend,
our tax bills would not continually
60 up. Fact is, our public officials
spend their energies on seeking new
subjects for tax levies and for ex-
cuses to increase old levies They
are all too anxious to see their
names engraved on the corner
stones of new public buildings which
the people could get along without
in these days of high taxes in all
branches of government.

Why Geese Fly
In V-Formution

"A goose" according to Oliver
Wendell Holmes, flies by a chart
which the Royal Geographical So
ciety could not improve"
Wild geese and ducks often fly
in V-shaped formation, but nat
uralists have discounted the popu-
lar notion that the leader of the
flock, flying at the apex of the tri-
angle, breaks the wind for the en-
tire group. A certain amount of
wind is believed advantageous to
the sustained flight of birds; how
ever, by advancing in wed for
nation each bird avoids the wake
of the bird preceding and is able
to see the leader more clearly than
would be possible in any other
formation.

statement made by some-a consid-
cradle sum-of those looked to for
guidance by the masses.
FATHER KELLER says such fig
ures are at variance with the facts
and, in his new book, definitely
proves his point. His analysis is on
the basis of the income of indi-
viduals, workers, owners - all Of
us - for the year 1914, the latest
year for which complete data is
available. That data is largely from
government records.
In that year there were A.
54,468 Americans with taxable
incomes, including 39,886,914
with incomes Of $1,000 or less;
1,834,433 with incomes of be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000; 1885,
481 with incomes between S10,-
900 and $4,000 and S117,640
with incomes of more than SIS,
900.
Income is derived from wages,
from interest and dividends and
from rentals. Of all of these sources,
the larger proportion of what they
produce goes to the lower-income
group.
FATHER KELLER shows that in
1914 those in the $5,000-and-under
group received, as a group, 1926
per cent of the total income; those
earning over $4,000 received ia
per cent, and those earning over
SIS, 1000 received "A per cent-be-
fore federal taxes had been de-
Quoted. After payment of federal
taxes those in the SIS, OO0-and-over
group had left only l.3 per cent.
When we realize the differ
ence in the federal tax rate be-
tween those in the S5,0OO-and-
under group, as compared with
those in the S25,000-and-over
group, it is easy to see there is
no vast difference in net in
come.
The fact is that, in America, the
so-called poor are growing richer,
and the so-called rich are growing
poorer with each passing year. In
no country in all the world, not
even those with socialistic govern
ments, is there such equal distribu-
ton of wealth as in the United
States.
THERE ARE TO-DAY very few
excessively-large incomes. If all
such incomes were divided between
those in the S5,0O0-and-under group,
it would give to each one not so
much as an extra so cents year.
Out of such large incomes as there
are comes heavy portion of the
cost of government. AS far as in
come-distribution is concerned, we
come nearer being socialistic than
socialistic England, or any other
nation.
