well, New Mexico Over $4,000
was raised.

honors IT the Conference. He was
elected Conference Secretary, and
received the highest vote from the
conference as delegate to the Cen
eral Conference in Chicago next
May. Rev Ford by virtue of that
fact, is the leader of the delega-
ton to the General Conference.
Rev. J. w. Ford, the present
pastor of Tanner Chapel was re-
turned for another year to his con-
gregation. W

Law Aimed
At Negroes
Franchise

Montgomery, Ala. (NNPA) =
Governor Gordon Persons has ap-
proved a re-registration act which
was rushed through the legislature
on Sept. 6. Jefferson, Montgomery
and Mobile counties are exempt
from the provisions of the measure,
which is designed to disenfranchise
i large number of colored voters.
Introduced by Representative
Sam M. Englehardt, Jr., of Shorter,
Alabama, in Macon County, the
seat of Tuckegee Institute, it calls
for the registration of all voters
since 1901. 1t gives arbitrary
powers to the boards of registrars
in sixty-four counties to deter
mine the applicants who will get
their names back on the voting
rolls.
It is estimated that under the
provisions of the act 10000 colored
voters will lose their right to vote
unless a method is found to compel
the boards to administer the mea-
sure fairly.
Representative Englehardt, SON.
in-law of State Senator J. Miller
(BulD Conner, an ardent white
supremacy" advocate, has advo-
Gated dividing Macon County so as
to preserve "white rule"
At Tuskegee, Alabama, the new
voter re-registration law was dis
cussed at a meeting recently of
the Tuskegee Civic Association. Of
ficers of the association indicated
that the act will be challenged in
the courts.
A number of colored persons ex-
pressed surprise that. Governor Per-
sons would sign the act which was
widely seen as a device to get rid
Of colored voters on the rolls and
also preventing many colored per-
sons from ever becoming voters.
At Birmingham, an NAACP
spokesman, who asked that his
name not be used, said the asso-
cations legal staff had examined
the act and was of the opinion that
it violates the Alabama State Con-
stitution.

delaying traffic even more, but I con-
cede that this is probably an unavoid-
able necessity at minor intersections to
allow pedestrians and vehicles to cross
or enter the highway. Major inter-
sections. however. will require over
passes as contemplated.
But the great blunder, as Mr. Guard
points out, is giving priority to an over
pass at Tenth street and Court House
road rather than Glebe road, where the
real tie-up occurs daily. This has been
especially aggravated with the opening
of Hecht's new store at Glebe and Will

Dear Sir:
I'VE enjoy your articles.

lowing picture postcard, showing the
white squirrels of Olney, Ill.
Thought you might like to see them.
Sincerely. C. M. w."
The photograph shows nine of the
albino specimens, romping up and down
tree and running around in the grass.
Two of the squirrels have marvellous
tails. According to the picture, they are
all pure white, but in actuality they
probably are rather on the creamy side.
Albino squirrels are color phases of
the ordinary gray squirrels of our city
parks and suburbs.
So are the black or melanistic
specimens.
For several months we noticed pearl
gray one in the small park at Vermont
avenue and street.
The picture postcard states:
"Olney. ILL.,, claims the distinction of
being the only place so far as is known
where the white squirrel is at home.

This and That

"These squirrels are protected, fed
and have become quite tame"
In most communities where the gray
squirrel prevails, the off-color speci-
mems, whether black or white, never
seem to get to the point of permanence
those in Olney have achieved.
This is mostly due to the fact that
the majority, the ordinary gray ones.

blacks.
There are perhaps 500 black squirrels
in and around Washington, and maybe
10 white ones.
These are all spotted over the terrain.
Whenever one of the whites or blacks
moves into neighborhood, the others
try to chase them out
It seems that in the animal world,
as in the human, difference is resented.
The peguins of the Antarctic are said
to peck the all-white babies to death.
Even their own mothers will not feed

Spreading ArIington's Tox Load

The Arlington Boards Fiscal Affairs Advisory
Committee has made timely recommendation
for an increase in the countyS business privilege
tax rate. 1t is timely because Arlingtons home
owners have just received the biggest tax bills
ever sent out by the treasurers ofice-bis based
on reaSsessment valuations substantially higher
than those of a year ago. In some cases the
boost was more than 100 per cent
1t was only natural that the advisory COM
mittee should have turned to other sources in
its search for more revenues. That it picked
the business interests of Arlington as the most
likely source for new funds is hardly surprising
Arlingtons business privilege tax is only IL cents
on each $l00 of gross revenue-said to be the
lowest rate for any urban community in Vir-
ginia. Alexandria, for example, has 29-cent
business tax The rate in other towns and cities
in the State varies from IL to so cents The
advisory committee believes that the county's
business establishments are not carrying a fair
share of Arlington's tax burden. The business
levies now produce 100000 year The COM
mittee says this could be raised to 81 million
year without undue hardship on the business
community.
Already spokesman for business interests
has voiced criticism of the committees report
and demanded hearing. The hearing should
of course, be granted by the board, so that 1t
will have full information on both sides OF the
proposal before final action is taken. The board
should do nothing to discourage healthy business
progress In Arlington. But 1t should make sure
that business iS carrying o reasonable part Of
