PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
Church, st. Paul on Sunday heard
DR.. Floyd Massey, Jr., pastor
preach from the subject: "Witnes-
ses Unto The Uttermost Part.
The minister took his text from
Acts 1:8.
DR.. Massey, who had recently
returned from Omaha, Nebraska
where he Presided over the Amer
lean Baptist Foreign Mission
Board, told the capacity crowd Of
worshippers of progress being
made in the field of missions in
Burma, India, Japan, The Phil
lipines, China and the Congo. DR..
Massey skillfully pointed out the
mission field is better now than
ever because governments are
changing and the people are plan
ming for themselves. Nationalism
has put Christianity in it's proper
focus.
In conclusion the minister en-
phasized that we should send more
trained missionaries to the field.
He stressed that a church must
| do more than build buildings, re-
/ decorate or refurbish the plant. 1t
/ is the duty and responsibility of
the church to do the mission of the
church. The church must carry the
message of Christ to the world
Music was provided by the Sem
ior Choir Gospel Chorus and Teen

than the Minnesota mead TAX. In
three more, it is the same.
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-taS
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 $500, 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.

poor family pays 6.5 per cent Of
income in sales taxes compared

Federal 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 a 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 quitting it. When the Su-
preme Court moved to the fore
front, Congress filibustered. We
had checks, but no balances" he
said.
When Congress, reflectng 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
1t was the cynical, political
deaT which resulted in Rutherford
B. Hayes Republican President in
1877 which ended civil rights pro-
gress for Negroes, explained the
Judge. Up to then the Negro had
entered into the mainstream of
American life.
Hayes kept his promise, said the
Judge, by not interfering with the
South's preferred system of racial
segregation and separation. After
he became President segregation
laws started to put the Negro in
his place." the Judge continued
1t wasn't until World War II
and after that the Supreme Court
began knocking down voting bar
riers against the Negro by declar-
ing grandfather clauses and white
primaries unconstitutional.

average family Of four with an
average income of $4,000 to $4,000
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 s 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 2.5 per cent state tax and
8 per cent local tax.
Here are some Of the facts re.
vealed by the study.
Average Of S5 States

$33.26-3.26%.
Individual, $4,000 income: $145.-
