PENALIZING AMBITION

Suppose an employer said to his employ
ees, 81 want you to work overtime, but I'll
pay you only half the regular rate" Or a
company said to its statesmen, make more
sales-but on all sales over your quota, you'll
get lower rate of commission"
Doesn't make sense, does it? But the high
and discriminatory progressive rates of the
income tax do just that in effect-put pen
atty on a mans ambition, hard work aad
success as he strives up the ladder.
The progressive rates of the suTtaxes in
crease with particular severity over the mid
die income range. At $4,000 of taxable in
come, the Garner begins paying 26c of each
additional dollar to the government At
$4,000 he gets socked with 34eo; at $4,000
he gets real sock when the government be-
gins to take half of all his additional earn
ings-and it goes on up from there to the
top tax rate of 918ol
Something can = and must be done
about such unfair tax discrimination

PART OF THE FREE MARKET

PAk1 OF 11E FREE MARhEI
1t seems. evident that great many AM
ericans have small understanding of what
the stock exchanges do and how they oper-
ate.
For example, some 1,20O country editors
recently answered QUESTIONABLE devoted to
various phases. of stock ownership. One
question asked if, in the editors opinion,
many people believe that stock exchanges
set prices and are financially interested in
the securities traded A substantial major
ity-almost SO per cent--said Yes.
Now this is q serious miSconception-
particularly at a time when more and more
people of moderate means are becoming in
vestors in American enterprise, and when
efforts are being made to speed that develop
ment For the stock exchanges do not set the
prices of the securities traded in any way.
What they do is to provide meeting place
for the prospective buyer and seller-much
in the manner of an auction house.
How then are stock prices established?
The answer is that it all depends upon the
decisions and opinions of prospective sellers
and potential buyers. The seller naturally
wants to get as much for his shares as poss-
ible 1.-The buyer naturally wants to buy as
cheaply as possible--just as in the auction
mart The price at which the shares change
hands represents a meeting of minds between
that seller and buyer-based upor the partic-
ular- conditions existing at the time the sale
is made
The stock exchange is simply part of
the free market-an indispensable part.

LETHAL COMBINATION

The story is an old one: Someone bath
ing reaches from the tub to, touch an cleo
trical fixture-a lamp, say, or a radio. There
is a moment of terrible shock, then death.
Obviously, such accidents could be pre-
vented by removing all electrical fixtures
from bathrooms. Just as obviously, that is
an impractical solution But there are at
least preventive steps that will help.
In the first place, bathroom lights and
other electrical equipment should be kept in
apple pie order so that there will be no need
to bring in fixtures from other rooms. Sec
only, children can be firmly instructed in the
dangers of that lethal combination, electric
ity and water. And thirdly, adults can pro-
fitably remind themselves of the same dang
ers. That will not eliminate accidents, but
it will cut down their number.

A REPLY TO WILLIAM
FAULKNER

The September, 1856, issue of
Ebony Magazine carries a re-
markable article by Author Viii
liam Faulkner, the Mississippi
Nobel Prize winner for litera-
ture of a sort because it makes
a deft and tricky use of words.
AS logical reasoning regarding
what the American Negro should
do to get his rights as an Amer
lean citizen, I claim that it is
downright stupid and highly in
sulting to the American Negro.
Mr.. Faulkner admits that "a
white man can only imagine
himself for the moment a Ne
gro; he cannot be that man Of
another race and griefs and
problems" But any man can
imagine what he would do under
circumstances similar to those
of another individual, if he con-
siders the other a man like him.
self. What Mr.. Faulkner does is
to advise the Negro in terms
Of what he and other southern
ers want the Negro to do.
He opens his article with some
statements from an article in
Life magazine of March 5, 1855,
in which he as southerner ap-
pealS to the North to come over
on the side of the white south
erner". Mr.. Faulkner denies the
existence of white SouthernerS
who are decent christian Amer
leans in their views on the
rights of man and on Christian
brotherhood and lawful living.
There are such SouthernerS;
they are intimidated and more
or less silenced but they are
there and they are speaking
their views.
After warning us that white
southerners will not stop short
of murder if we push them, he
proposes that individual Negroes
keep hoping some day to be
equal to whites. Evidently from
this and other statements, he
personally has not met Negro
that he considered his equal or
the equal of any other white

mended for the fearless stand
he takes in all matters, affect

people goes far beyond party
lines.
Congressman Dawson OF the
Chicago southSide might be
claSSed as a political opportunist
with a brilliant gift of speech,
who is not adverse to being air
lifted to danger spots, there to
be used as his party'S hatchet
man. One thing is certain, Mr..
Dawson would have hard time
getting elected to any democra-
tic office in the South, and by
a party he so dearly loves.
One should not expect the
Republican Party to perform
miracles in three and one half
years which the Democrats have
failed to do in more than twenty
years. Hampered by filibuSter-
ing democrats theirs have been
an uphill fight. 1t must be con-
ceeded that the Republicans
have tried desperately to put
Civil Rights legislation through
the congress. The Democrats

man. He also eXhortS "fleXibili-
ty" in our attitudes and tech
niQueS - "unviolent flexibility".
Ordinarily we intend to stay
alive. But Mr.. Faulkner'S "flex-
ibility" becomes "inflexible un-
flogging flexibility"; something
that he proposes we should teach
our children. and which takes
all urgency and demand from
our techniques. According to.
Faulkner, this is a technique
that wins rights for Negroes by
making white southerners sick!
There are good reasons why we
must reject this proposal. These.
southerners have strong Stom-
achs. We could never Sicken
them if their own murder and
mayhem doesn't. But the strong
est reason is that American
citizens aren't expected to deal
with a stubborn, unyielding
evil force with pacifism. 1t is
impossible for us to teach our
children to be Gandhists. They
have already been taught that,
they are citizens of great ma
ton that protects it's citizens
at home and abroad in the enjoy
ment of their legal rights. They
have great respect for the forces
of American law and justice.
Mr.. Faulkner's next paralog--
ism is his proposal that Negroes
desert the N.A.A.C.P unless it.
makes that same flexibility the
watchword of it's methods" For
nearly fifty years the NA.AC.P,
has fought inflexibility with in
flexibility. It has won it's fights
because it hasn't given an inch
in it's claims to rights for Amer
leans. Precious little it could
have achieved for us with a
policy of flexibility. Thank you,
we will stay with the NA.A.C.P.
Editors Note:
The second installment of Mr..
Robinson's reply to the Faux
ner article will appear next week
in this column. It will deal with
Faulkner's statements regard
ing the Negroes lack of equality

SELF PRESERVATION

GsO1UO4 al 4LO11Ck OOAA'
Whether Negro Americans
dividely lean toward the Repub-
lican or the Democratic philos-
ophy of government, there are
two things which we must of
necessity be of one accord. The
law of self preservation impels
us to be group minded on these
two things. Economics, and Civ
il Rights which are inter-lock-
ing, should be a matter of vital
concern to us, being Demo-
crat or a Republican not with
standing.
. Leaders of the two political
parties with which we nearly
all are aligned, have become
convinced that the success or
failure of their efforts to con-
troll government lies almost
wholely in our hands, and they
are using all their political wiles
to get us "in the bag". To be
brutal, our votes are being
sought for a price. Need I say
that what is worth having is
worth being paid for.
I say that Economics as relat-
ed to our race, and this big
question of Civil Rights are in
ter-locking, because without a
higher standing in our world
of economy, so called Civil
Rights is meaningless, and If
we are deprived of that which
the Constitution guarantees us,
which of course is this much
disputed Civil Rights, our econ
omy is correSpondingly affected.
At the 1856 Democratic con-
vention in Chicago, we were
handed a CLOSED over platform
on Civil Rights, which, after
removing the film, meant moth
ing more than a Warmed-over
bowl of soup with the ingre-
dientS that go to make digest
able soup, removed. All efforts
to declare for implementation
of the recent rulings of the
Supreme and Federal courts
were successfully beaten down
by the southern masters of the
Democratic Party.
It is a fact that may not be
honestly disputed, that the
Democratic Party as constituted
is a group whose torch bearers
are Eastland and Ellender, Grif-
fen and Talmadge, Russell the
master mind of senate filibuS-
ters, and Sparkman and Battle
and Byrnes, all enemies of the
Negro race. This being undeni-
able so, it is hardly becoming
to ask any Negro in or out of
South to in anyway contribute
their retention of the power
they now possess. Why ask a
Negro, North or South to give
aid and Succor to their avoWed
enemies? Why hand them the
rope which we well know is
intended to break our neckS?
Undoubtedly there are some
well meaning democrats in the
North who are sympathetic to
our cause, but for political ex-
pediency and "for the sake of
party harmony, they elect to go
along with these scourgeS from
Dixie who refuse to let my peo-
pie GO. Well, I can't go along
with any one who is friend of
my enemy, love me, love my
dog.
