Gets Petition In
Plea For Negro
Jitney Operators

CHICAGO Negro civic, busi-
ness and religious leaders last
week presented Mayor Martin H.
Kennedy a $4,000 name petition
asking that he take no action
against Jitney operators on the
two mainstems of Chicago's great
southside.
1t is reported that newspaper
reporters were barred from the
meeting, but contents of the peti-
tions were revealed later. The dele
CATION, headed by Rev. Louis
Rawls, of the Tabernacle Church
pointed out to the mayor that un-
licensed jitney operators have a
record of safety superior to any
other form of transit in the city.
The jitney cabs run from 31st
street to 63rd street on South
Parkway for a fare of Is cents,
and between 31st and 61st streets
on Indiana avenue for the same
price. Turnoffs usually cost so
cents. They operate around the
clock. Buses operated by the Chi
cago Transit authority do not run

may result in net increase of $40
billion in our budget. But this con.
dition is not an all-out war. and it
may last for ten years, as long as
the Russians foment minor ag-
gression or even threaten it.
In economic terms, this means
the spending by the Federal
Government Of perhaps $50 bill
lion plus per year instead of $40
billion. This new status, while it
Is not an all-out war, does re-
quire some sacrifice of civilian
progress and standards of living.
WHILE the new expenditures
" are heavy, they can be paid
for out of taxes and handled on a
pay-as-you-go basis. That is the
first step to prevent imitation. 1t
has been repeatedly proved by ex-
perience that the government can
not borrow vast sums of money
and then hope by the imposition
of controls to prevent for long the
inevitable infiationary effects. If
we want to stop imitation, we have
to stop it at the source. This is par
ticularly true when we already
have a huge debt of $257 billion.
1 suggest therefore that we
should (D ec0n0miZe on all do
mestic expenditures; (2) levy
taxes to cover all contemplated
expenditures and levy them at
once, no matter how burden
some they appear; CD impose
controls on the increase of pri.

arbitrary and dictatorial powers
over industry as are proposed in
the Presidents bill. While it omits
those controls which might be con-
sidered unpopular in an election
year, price control, wage controls
2ld consumer rationing, in every
other field it gives completely ar
bitrary power over the operation
of industry, commerce and agri.
culture. It gives the power to
requisition any property in the
United States, to loan money to
anyone to go into any business the
government chooses to go into.
The whole Brannan Plan could be
put into effect under this bill.
1t seems to me that the only
new powers needed are the pow
ers to control credit and those
direct powers necessary to Sc
cure the manufacture of NUM-
tions and supplies of the armed
forces. The other powers, as well
as price control, wage control
and rationing, might well be
part of a general grant in case
of all-out war. We could work
on the draft of a statute which
could be agreed to and prompt
ly enacted in case such q war
occurred.
A RBITRARY government con-
n troll is not a cure for imitation.
We fool ourselves if we think that
these controls prevent imitation.
They attempt to prevent the re-
suits without striking at the cause.
The way to prevent imitation is to
go on a pay-as- you-go basis.
We face a new status of a
semi-garrison state, forced on us
by the Russian threat. However
we got there, now we have to
pay for it.
Let's not fool ourselves by think
ing we can borrow the money and
go on enjoying ourselves to the
full on a domestic spree. We have
to give up some of our purchasing
power heretofore available for do
meStic purposes in the form of tax.
alton so it can be spent for war
purposes. We cannot have some
thing for nothing. In the end, we
would pay for it much more vio-
leptly in money and increased
prices.
Whatever the situation is
brought about by Russian aggres-
sion and administrative policy, it
ought to be faced now and ought
not to be hidden and concealed
until after November z.
