Of the World" The following dea-

tions, conducted the opening wor-
ship service: Mrs. M. c. Webb OF
Bethesda, Mrs. F. Crews Of Pill

and Mrs. T. Whitney and Mrs. N,
Loney of Mt. Carmel.
Mrs. Deane Speaks
The speaker of the day was Mrs,
Priscilla Deane, who Is supervisor
in the offices headquartering the
XIV Army Corps, located on Lake
Street in Minneapolis. Mrs. Deane
Is also a member Of Zion Baptist
Church where she is active as q
member Of the board Of christian
education, a church school teacher
and a member Of the Young Mat
ron's Missionary Society.
She is a graduate Of Colorado
State College and has done two
years of graduate work in christ
ian education at Kentucky State
College.
In her talk Mrs. Deane chal-
lenged her audience to meet the
problem of saving the world. She
suggested that while most christ
ian women know their task, some
refuse to perform it. THE mark
ings on a map" she said, "are
useless unless we follow them"
In recapitulation, she listed five
qualities that Baptist women need
If they are to successfully meet
the challenge Of saving the world
for Christ:
1. Each woman must have a
spirit Of love.
2. Each woman must have a
deep love for the soul Of man.
8. Each woman must realize the
meaning Of "soul."
4. Each woman must develop a
vast knowledge Of Gods word
the Bible.
8. Each woman must daily prac-
tice christian living.
lone Brown Honored
After Mrs. Deane's very excel
lent speech and before a friendly
reception in the Fellowship Hall
Of Zion, Mrs. lone Brown, for the
past five years the president Of the
Women's Auxiliary, was honored
by a gift Of appreciation from the
Women's Auxiliary. In February,
Mrs. Brown was forced to give
up the presidency Of the Auxiliary
because Of failing health. How
ever, she still is active in her
church, Bethesda Baptist, when
her health allows. She now serves
on the Board Of Christian educa-
ton at Bethesda and helps with
the publication Of the church bulle-
tin.

FederaI Judge
Describes Civil
Rights Ups & Downs
(ANP Washington Bureau)

Washington (ANP) - In the
field of civil rights, the us. Gov
ernment's system of checks and
balances has never worked, said
District Court Of Appeals Judge J,
Skelly Wright, last week.
The noted jurist who was Fed
eral judge in New Orleans where
he decided controversial civil rights
cases for more than 10 years until
his appointment to the Appeals
bench here two years ago, made
the statement at a National Press
Club luncheon Of the District
Chapter Of the Federal Bar AS
sociation.
Judge Wright explained: when
Congress following the Civil War;
was busy passing civil rights leg
islation, the Supreme Court was
busy cutting it. When the Su-
preme Court moved to the fore
front, Congress filibustered. We
had checks, but no balances" he
said.
When Congress, reflecting the
moral indignations which started
the Civil War passed five civil
rights acts to eradicate the BLACK
Codes" the Supreme Court went
to work on them one by one, and
for various reasons declared them
unconstitutional, Judge Wright
said.
It was the cynical, pontica
deal' which resulted in RutherforC
B. Hayes Republican President il
1877 which ended civil rights pro
gress for Negroes, explained tn,
Judge. UP to then the Negro hat
entered into the mainstream O
American life.
Hayes kept his promise, said tn
Judge, by not interfering with tn
South's preferred system of racia
segregation and separation. Afte
he became President segregation
laws started to put the Negro IL
his place." the Judge continued.
1t wasn't until World War I
and after that the Supreme Cour
began knocking down voting bar
riers against the Negro by declar
ing grandfather clauses and whit,
primaries unconstitutional.

These are some Of the facts re-
vealed by a study Of a set Of
"Guide Lines" issued by the In
ternal Revenue Service to tell tax
payers how much they can prop
erly deduct on account Of sales
taxes In making their income-tax
returns.
The figures have particular bear
ing on a recent statement by Gov
.ernor Elmer Andersen defending
his Tax Committees endorsement
of the sales tax on the ground that
the committee also recommended
as an offsetting advantage to low
income families the elimination Of
the head tax.
: The sales tax In the 35 states
hits the family Of six In the lowest
income scale for an average Of
3.26 per cent Of their income, and
the high-income individual ($20, 900
a year, for .725. It ranges from
IL per cent In the large Utah
family of low income down to "a
per cent for the wealthy South
Dakota individual. The wealthy
taxpayer has less than one-twenti-
eth Of the tax obligation Of the
low-income family.
In one state - Illinois - the
poor family pays 6.5 per cent Of
income in sales taxes compared

with the individuals .S4 per cent
"a spread in one state Of more
than TOO per cent. In Illinois the
average family Of four with an
average income Of $4,000 to $500
pays about 2.7 per cent to the tax
collector. The average in 35 states
in this bracket Is 1.54 per cent
compared to .957 paid by the
wealthy family.
An important point revealed by
the Internal Revenue tables is that
as income goes down to the low
est levels, sales tax payments rise
substantially above the official
rate. Thus the lowest-income Him
ois families pay 6.5 per cent while
the state, cities and counties COL
lect only four per cent. The dis
crepancy is apparently accounted
for by the fact that the retailer
collects the full tax on small pur-
chases and RENTS to the state, city
and county only on his gross sales.
The family with limited income
spends virtually all that income on
purchases subject to the sales tax,
and makes its purchases in small
amounts. Thus its tax liability Is
multiplied, and the retailer profits
substantially.
Because of wide variations In
the way the sales tax Is applied
and variations In the rate from
two to four per cent, the cost of
the sales tax varies widely from
state to state. Many sales-tax
states also have city and county
sales or gross income levies. High
est state tax Is Illinois 3.5 per
cent, to which Is added a 3 per
cent city and county levy. How
ever, this tax is slightly less In
dollar cost, to both the low income
and the high income groups, than
Utah's rs per cent state tax and
3 per cent local tax.
Here are some of the facts re-
vealed by the study.
Average of IS States
Family Of 8, $1,000 income:
$33.26-3.26%.
Individual, $40, 900 income: $145.-
