Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 23, No. 14, YOU MAY VOTE More than 700 Kansas residents who are in Washington D. C. were formed this week by the Allen-for Senator committee that they might vote in the Republican primary next month. Taking advantage of the legislature Joe H. Mercer, chairman of the Committee, forwarded to the Kansans in Washington, copies of the absentee voter law which permits absentee voting in the primary for The Allen-for-Senator committee is the first time. biography of Henry J. Allen, which is a part of its campaign literature, accompanied the law more or less in a nature of an invitation to the voters to support Senator Allen. Any qualified elector who is absent from the state the entire election day may vote in the primary. The law requires that county clerks supply their offices with ballot forms to be used in mail voting, instructs the voter to apply for such a ballot to the county clerk of the former's home county and requires that the vote be mailed on election day to the county clerk. Absentee voters may cast ballots for all county, district, state and national candidates. Y. M. C. A. NOTES "AS THE TWIG IS BENT — THE TREE WILL INCLINE The above saying, even though old, is only too true today. that the big task of training a boy to useful manhood is to see that the proper growth of the twig is not jeopardized. There are many things in our complex life today that threaten the growth of the twig, and raising a boy today is a task that calls for eternal watchfulness. For many years the Young Men's Christian Association through its camp program, in which it was a pioneer, has been an ally of the home in this task. Since one of the first requisites for any healthy boy is an outlet for his exuberant spirits, the Y. M. C. A. has evolved a vigorous camp program of healthy exercise and games, which develops sturdy youth. But an even more important, by-product is the character-training of a well supervised camp program of sports, and this is the principle upon which all "Y" camps are founded. The same is true of all other activities at the "Y" camp involving character and life-problem discussions, the evening camp fire, hikes and social contacts where he learns the fundamentals of manly living. Here is a complete character-building camp program that appeals to toys. May the Y. M. C. A. have the opportunity of helping you "train the twig?" The week of June 30th to July 6th was spent in Camp Hyde by 32 boys of the Water Street Y. M. C. A. and the two Secretaries. Some of the activities participated by the boys were, swimming, Rifle shooting, base ball, leather work, Campfire singing, and instruction around the camp fire. The singing around the campfire consisted of original verses to popular songs. Each day was full beginning with early morning exercise followed by a swim in the river and ending with campfire songs at right. During the week several parents and interested folk visited the Camp and inspired the boys with talks and bringing firecrackers for July 4th. Thefollowing citizens furnished cars to bring the boys home at end of camp: Rev. J. E. Douglass, Rev. J. H. Grant, Rev. J. W. Hays, Dr. P. M. Bell, Lawyer Brown, Joe Mason, Lawyer Woodard, Mrs. Bessie Mitchell and Dr. Wilson. Beginning Saturday July 12th the one day camp will begin and continue thro' months of July and August. All boys wishing to go must register with Secreary Winston each Friday. The Camp fee is twenty-five cents (25e) per Saturday. Each boy must bring along his own dishes for eating. For father explanation, call or see Secretary Winton. Phore. 3-1713 Governor Clyde M. Reed in a month of July address discussed the alarming growth or chain organization on the concentration and control of wealth and the power that come from its control. Among others he mentioned chain stores, chain buying, and chain farming, and the consolidation of several hundred railroad systems into ten or a dozen. Governor Reed said he opposed the consolidation of the railroads and that the original plan had been modified. He also mentioned the passing of the control of public utility services of the country telephone electric lights and gas, etc., into ten or twelve hiding companies that have issued billions of stock, until the small utility company is almost a thing of the past with public utility service directed from Wall street and with the profits going the g Chain and branch banking, which in some sections have practically taken the country also were deplored. I dread the day when judgment on local loans passes from local men to the heads of the chain system of bankning far removed from our local communities," said the Governor. Chain stores which have meant menace and injury to the local business men also included by the Governor who said "In every community enterprise the local business men are collectively the great factor in local development and the support of all local civic and charitable activities. With one or two exceptions no chain stores contributes anything to local development and the support of local enterprises. "I look with alarm upon the development of industrial or corporation farming." continued Governor Reed "Since the begainof our history the owner of the soil filling his own land has been the bulwark of the nation. 'It is unthinkable we should substitute industrial farming, operated by wage employees at the lowest wage possible, for the individual own-orship and operation of the family farm that has been the most useful single unit in our industrial and national life." "I know that there are those who will say that all these things are a part of the economic development that cannot be stayed. I am not yet ready to subscribe to the doctrine that the welfare of the whole people should be placed in the hands of a few men and corporations far removed from where the mass of people live. From Reed for Governor Headquarters. EXAMINATION REQUIRED Kansas born between the ages of 16 and 20 who desire to go to the U. S. Naval Academy will have their chance. When informed by the Navy Department that there are three vacancies in the Regiment of Midshipmen to which he may name Kansans, Senator Alien announced that he had arranged with the U. S. Civil Service Commission to conduct a Congressional Designation Examination to secure eligibles to the Naval Academy, Senator Allen supplemented his announcement with this statement: "I have thought that every Kansas boy who is ambitious to enter upon a career in the Navy, and who meets the requirements for entering the Naval Academy, should have a chance to compete for an appointment. "In accordance with the Naval Academy and Civil Service regulations I have reserved the right to appoint the candidates who in my judgment are best qualified to represent Kansas in the Regiment of Midshipmen. I shall not, however, appoint any candidate who does not make a creditable showing in the phelimlavyn examination." The first examination will be held October 20 at the first and second class post offices of the state. The vacancies will result from the graduation in the class of 1931 of Midshipmen DeApley I Davis, Hutchison: Fred A. Kinzie, Ilinwatha and Edward F. Raulsback, of Kansas City REGISTER; VOTE WISELY. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July 11, 1930 NO END TO NEGRO DEMANDS As was to have been expected when the Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race won its fight upon Judge Parker, fresh demands have arisen, the latest move being to force the mixing white and black Gold Star Mothers on the trip to Europe. Arrangements properly had been made to carry the Negro mothers in a group to themselves, just as the white mothers are being carried, but this was altogether unsatisfactory to the League for the Advancement of the Colored Race, and now the demand that all distinctions be abolished and the groups be sent as one, preferably with white and colored women occupying the same cabin aboard shin, the same berths on sleeping cage and eating together at the same tables in halls and restaurants. These "uplity" Negroes in the north, whose agitation is doing the common-sense negroes of the South much harm, claim that the Negro mothers are being "jim-crowed" and insulted" and they are raising sand about it. And, unless there has been a decided stiffening in the backs of Republicans, and some such Democrats as Senator Heflin, who aided the Negro in their victory over Judge Parker, the mothers, white and black, will be mixed as is demanded. That an issue of this nature and demand of this kind should be made is disgraceful but simply proves what every Southerner knows which is that to give one of these Republican-negroes an inch means that he will take a yard. The revival of the fight of the Northern Negroes for social equality began with the announcement that the wife of the Negro congressman from Illinois, was entertained at a White House tea, and matters hea since been going from bad to worse. The only solution is to put real Democrats to the front in the Democratic party and put the Democratic party in hower. AVERAGE LIFE OF NEGROES NOW FORTY SIX YEARS AT ANTA, GA., May—: Instal of dying out, as was at one time predicted, the Negro race in America is steadily growing more healthy and the life span of Negros is increasing, according to a statement given out by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Basing its state matters upon figures finished by the United States Public Health Services and the Statistical Department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the Commission says: The gloomyypropresence of those who expected the solution of the immanent Negro problem through the Negro's extinction have been completely discredited by the experience of last sixty years. In that period the Negro mortality rate has decreased fifty per cent or more, the present death rate being about 17 per thousand, as against 35 or 40 per thousand in Reconstruction days. The present life span of Negroes is about 46 years, which represent's a gain in the last decade of approximately five years. Bith in mortality rate and life expectancy the Negro today stands about where the white American stood thirty years ago by no means a bad showing in the light of the well known background disadvantages under which the Negro's progress has been made "A study of the two million roley holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company reveals a mortality rate still lower, the figures for 1926 being 14.6 per thousand among this group as against 17.5 per thousand in 1911. Most gratifying has been the decreasing mortality from tuberculosis, which still causes the month of one Negro in every six. A decline of 44 per cent in tuberculosis death rate between 1911 and 1926 and a decrease of 54.5 per cent in tuberculosis among Negro children in the same period indicates that this recularly destructive disease is rapidly yielding to the determined assaults that are being made upon it. "With all the gains that have been made, however, due to education, sanitation, and public health service, the Negro death rate is still much higher than that of white people-87 per cent higher in the cities and 49 per cent higher in the rural communities according to the figures of the Public Health Service. "It will be a surprise to many to learn that the Negro death rate is much higher in the cities than in the DEPRIEST ADDRESS BRINGS APLICANT NEW YORK, July 3. — An address recently delivered by Congressman Oscar Delpriest brought a letter from Arthur A. Flower, a white man of Holland, Mich. applying fro membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Flower's letter is as follows: "Firstly I am white — what of it? No one ask me, before I was born, what color I chose to be, so I am neither to be commended nor condemned for it. "I was brought up to hate no man without just cause and I think racial hatred is the siliest and most uncalled for element in our so-called civilization. "I draw no color line and until I can find some good sensible reason why I should. I never will." "I heard your address in Grand Tapids the evening of May 21 and enjoyed it thoroughly. "I wish to ask you if there is any reason why I could not become a member of the N. A. A. C. P.? "If this Association is for the elimination of racial hatred, if it is for the banding together of colored people not in a combative gesture but rather as a well organized league to quietly assert their rights as citizens, then I am whole-hearted for it and wish to become a merger. "I am only a working man and someone could not do a great deal, but with each member doing a little when taken altogether means much My feelings and sympathies are all for it and I would willingly, gladly do all that I could." Membership information and an invitation to join the N. A. A. C. P. have been sent to Mr. Flower. STEEL MILLS EXPLOIT NEGROES NEW YORK, July 3. That steel mills exploit Negro laborers in the South, overworking and underpaying them, is the contention of an article on "The Steel Mills Today" in the New Republic, summerized by the N. A. A. C. P. Plants in the South depend on the Negro for common labor, and they exploit him mercilessly," says the article. "He is worked ten hours, twelve hours a day, seven days a week. White foremen — "build-bosses" — ride him constantly." He is not contented naturally, but he taught in this printing life, there is no escape for him." Cheap Negro labor is used by the steel plants to keep wages low generally says the article. COLOR BAR PROTESTED NEW YORK, July 3. — Karl Illava, sculptor living in New York, has given to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a copy of a letter which he sent to the Art Alliance of Philadelphia, protesting against the rejection for a Philadelphia exhibition of Antonio Salemme's nude statue of Paul Robinson in his letter Mr. Illava said in part: "alemme's work needs no praise of mine. That his ability has long since been recognized is no news to art lovers of this country. I have had the honor of knowing Paul Robeson these many years." He is one of our most distinguished Americans, a gentleman, an artist of the highest type, door of the art jury room then all I can say and with sadness, is God help America!" rural district, and higher in the northern states than in the south. In the census of 1920 Louisiana showed the lowest Negro mortality rate — 13.5 per thousand — while seven ether southern states showed rates of 172 or less. That of New York, on the other verd was 1743 while in other northern states the rate ran still higher, reaching a maximum of 29.4 in Michigan." GOV. MOODYS AMBASSADOR Governer Dan Moody, who ~ bermuted a man to be lynched while the National Guard and the eTexas hangers looked on, does not like the publicity given Texas by London news papers. To offset this truthful statement of the mob murder at Sherman, the Governor has sent an unofficial ambassador to London to spread a tissue of lies concerning "why we lynch Negroes in Texas with the consent of public officials." The Honorable "Dan" need not get excited, the civilized world has been knowing for along time about our little lynching parties. That women ard children pitch fuel on the blazing body of an innocent victim (every man is presumed to be innocent until pronounced guilty by a court of law), is common knowledge. Evidently the story published in a London newspaper struck the Hon "Dan" below the belt. It has him hanging on the ones. We remember that one time the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People displayed in London placards which told of America's mob murders. If America dislikes the truth being published in firewall newspapers, coloredpeople should use all of their power to get such news prominently displayed. But it will cost money. The N. A. A. C. P. has shown that it understands the wisdom of such a policy. Would it not be an excellent idea for Negroes to send an un official amassador to London to counteract Government Moody's plan to white-mash the lawing of Sherman? wash the lynching incident. Again we place the burden on the one organization which can do the job. The idea is fundamentally sound and would bring results, but the treasury of the N. A. A. C. P. is in need of funds and because of the lack of funds many excellent plans must be abandoned. Truly can it be said that Negroes do not get justice because they are unwilling to pay the price. BIGGER AND BETTER BUSINESS Tuskegee Institute, ALA "Bigger and Better Negro Business" will be the general subject for discussion at the next annual convention of the National Negro Business League which will be held in Detroit, Michigan, August 20 21 and 22. "It is felt," said Dr R. R. Moton president of the League, "that this would be a most appropriate subject for discussion at this particular time when the Negro is awakening to his economic duties." Albon L. Holsey, Secretary of the League, has just returned from Detroit where he conferred with Fred Hart Williams, president of the Metropolitan Business Men's Club, and Dr. William H. Pick, founder of the Negro Trade Association of Detroit. Both of these organizations are cooperating in arranging for the League's entertainment. One day's season will be devoted to a discussion of the grocery business as a stimulus to the G. M. A. Stores' movement which is being promoted by the League. In this connection, the League, with the assistance of THE PROGRISSIVE GROCER, will set up a Model Grocery Store in Detroit. Both white and colored experts will discuss the grocery, dry goods, ready-to-use, and shoe businesses as opportunities for Negroes to enter the retail field. Hutchinson Gleanings Rev R. B. Bracken, of Garden City had charge of the services at the Second Baptist church last Sunday. The Young folks of the church have organized a Junior Mission circle and Mrs. Ida Frazier Bates of Wichita came and made the opening address. Miss Mary Harrison left this week for Topeka to work in Hauke Hendquarters for Governor. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor had abd 4th of July picnic at the Elmdale park all during the day. The movement was in the hands of Mrs. Bertha Lewis and R. G. Moore. The young children that are connected with the C. B. F. & S. M. T lodge the Juvenile department had a picnic at the Carey park Friday and a grand time was had. Chester I. Lewis, W. M. expects to do much Five Cents Per Copy. ACTIVITY OF NEGROES GROWS The startling success of the Association for the Advancement of the Colored race in defeating Judge Parker, of North Carolina for the Supreme Court bench has stirred the organization into greater activity than at any time in the past, according to a writer in THE WASHINGTON SUNDAY POST. Not only so but according to the same authority, the victory has greatly enhanced the "prestige" of the Negro association. The article says in part: "Negro political conscience has been much stirred by the Senate's rejection of Judge Parker. The case may stimulate a revival in parts of the South of the race question as an acute political issue. "One of the most significant aspects of the struggle is the prestige boost given the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored race. This (the defeat of Judge Parker) probably establishes for that organization a place inthe Negro world comparable to that long exercised by the Anti-Saloon League in the organized prohibitionists' sphere." After predicting that this "boost" for ahe National Association for the Advancement of the Negro race, (whose real object is the establishment of social equality), will give it a power practically equal to that enjoyed by the Anti-Saloon League, the writer in THE WASHINGTON POST calls specific attention to the "political skill" of the Negro organization saying: No users of pressure tactics in politics ever demonstrated finer generalship than they displayed in opposing Judge Parker's nomination. This praise of the "generalship" of the Negroes no doubt was evoked in large part by the fact that they succeeded in enlisting the aid of Senator Heflin whose public utterance always have been quite at variance with his action in connection with the Parker case. The significant nature of the victory of the Association for the Advancement of the Colored race also is commented upon at great length by Mark Sullivan, well known political authority, who, writing in the Republican New York Tribune forecasts of renewal of the fight of the Negroes to obtain a large voice in the political affairs of the South. In this connection he says. "That the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People will focus its energies upon conditions affecting Negro participation in Democratic primaries in Southern States can be taken for granted." This means that the next move of the Negro organization will be directed toward breaking down the barriers erected by the Democrats of the South to prevent the Negro having a dominant voice in affairs political, and it is a ringing challenge that should serve to arouse every Southerner to the gravity of the issues involved in approaching elections. No man who has truckled to the Association for the Advancement of Colored People should be supported by any Southerner who stands for the supremacy of the white race and for the preservation of the political status under which the wings of the Negro politician in the South remain clipped. in the way of advancement this year.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Learning to Be Unseldah JUNIOR TOPIC—Learning to Be Un seldah INTERNATIONAL AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Does It Mean to Be Honest? TOUGH IPOBLI AND AUGHT TOPIC—Learning from Experience. I. Jacob's Birth (47:21:23). In answer to Isaac's prayer, a seed was given unto him. Before Jacob's birth God revealed unto Rezekah the fact that he should have the place of pre eminence "The elder shall serve the younger." In this God reversed the ordinary law concerning the position of the elder son. The act of taking hold of Isaac's heel as he was born, indicated Jacob's nature. The name Jacob means "supplanter." 11. Jacob's Schemes (23:27:31; 27:1 20). 1. He secured Isaac's birthright (25:27:31). It was right for Jacob to have the birthright since it was according to God's plan as revealed to Rehekah, but his scheme to get it was reprehensible. He took advantage of a brother's weakness to drive a sharp bargain. 2. Secured his father's blessing (27:1:59). (1) Was requested to get vension for his father. (2) Rehekah's scheme (vv 5:33). It was God's plan that Jacob should be at the head, but he did not need the sin of Jacob and his mother to bring it about. III. Jacob's Flight to Maran (ch. 29) Jacob's deceit and cunning got him into trouble. He was compelled to flee from his outraged brother. He now began to reap what he had nown. I. Jacob's vision at Bethel (28:10 15). Jacob not only had to flee to save his life, but he had to leave home and mother. When night overtook him, he was obliged to sleep in a field with a stone for a pillow. It was under such circumstances that the Lord gave him the wonderful vision at Bethel. (1) He saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven. (v.12) Jesus Christ is the ladder, connecting earth and heaven for us (John 1:51) (2) He saw angels of God upon the ladder. (v.12). These angels were divine helpers to render needed assistance along life's way. (3) The Lord standing above the ladder (vv.1317). To show Jacob that the ladder did not reach merely into space God appeared and talked with him. a. He declared that He was the God of Abraham and of Isaac, thus assuring Jacob that the same favor that was over his fathers was over him. (v.13). b. He renewed the covenant as to the land. Though Jacob was now fleeing from the land the covenant would not fail. (v.13). c. He assured him of a numerous seed. (v.14). d. The divine presence with Jacob. (v.15). Though he had sinned, God was with him. e. Jacob should be brought again into the land. (v.15). 2. Jacob's row (iv. 18.22). His sow included three things. (1) Dedication of himself to God (v. 12). (2) Establishment of worship (vv. 19, 19). (3) Consecration of his substance (v. 22). IV. Jacob's Return to Canaan (chaps. 31-33). 1. The Lord instructs him (31:11 21). Twenty years have elapsed since his experiences at Bethel. These years were spent in Padan uram with his mother's people. Here he served Laban for twenty years. Though it was the purpose of God for him to return, he took chandestine leave of Laban. Laban pursued him in anger, but God appeared to Laban and forbade him to lay hands upon Jacob. 2. Jacob on the way (Gen. 32). 2. Jacob on the way (Gen. 12). Though Jacob fled from Laban's pursuit, a more formidable enemy faced him in the person of Esau. (1) Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1). (2) Jacob praying (sv. 0.12). Not receiving a reply from Esau, Jacob cast himself upon God in prayer. (3) The angel wrestling with Jacob (sv. 21-22). He continued to wrestle until the approach of morning, not knowing that it was God in human form wrestling with him. God humbled him by dislocating his thigh. When thus humbled, he quit wrestling and slung to God. He got the blessing when he conscious of his weakness, told hold upon God. (4) A new name (v. 28). He was no longer Jacob, the "supplanter" but Israel, a "prince of God." His new name was given him after he had a new nature. Finding God If we cannot find God in your house or mine, upon the roadside or the margin of the sea. In the bursting seed or opening flower, in the day duty and the night mourning, I do not think we should discern Him more in the grass of Eden or beneath the moonlight of Gethsemane — James Martineau.

Build it up. After which Saul took the task and made one of the greatest characters in the church work, the world has evr known, hubefore his departure, he said, I am one born out of due time, and it is not meet for me to be called a Terather, for I persecuted this way, and pprofited in the Jesus religion. However, Paul suffered many things for the cause of Christ and at last, before his departure, he said, I have fought a good night, I have kept the faith, I have finished my course, and now I am ready to be offered up. Where can another Paul, or Moses be found? What are we to do for Christian leadership? One who is honest and trusty; one whom we can trust with our family and funds and be at ease. Where shall we go for leaders? is a question; and to whom shall we go for leaders? Shall we go to the government, State Board or police station? Or shall we go out in the jungles, or shall we hang out a sign? Shall we advertise or shall we go to the church and call for a worthy leader, one who has a Christian heart? One who will think in terms of his people; one who will do as Jesus commanded him to do; one who has really been born again? Let us therefore proclaim a fast and put on sackcloths and sit in ashes, and call upon the God of heaven; pray mightily to our Redeemer that He may give us leaders wholly fitted for the occasion: who have been broken up root and branch in Jesus Christ. Let us ask God to endow them with wisdom, knowledge and understanding; and to give unto them Christian hearts, and fix them, that they may be fit subjects to handle His business and to look after the welfare of His people. Saying, as many as thou dost see fit to call fix them, for Lord, our people are becoming perplexed; we are getting confused about this matter. And now about our younger generation, what will become of them, when they are becoming confused and discouraged about the proper leadership? Who will present their body, as a living sacrifice, acceptable before God; and take the stand for Christian leadership? The challenge is for Christian leadership! May the Holy Spirit continue with us that we may achieve a victory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. St. Mark M. E. Church. REV. W. C. CONWELL, PASTOR Elizabeth M. Talbert, Reporter.

C, Jackman Republicin Cardidate For COUNTY COMMISSIONER FIRST DISTRICT PRINARKIES AUGUoT FIETH ELECTION NOV, FOUKIH — WHAT REED HAS DONE THE present campaign for the re- nomination of Governor Clyde Reed has been featured by a number of misstatements regarding his appoint, ments of negroes on the state pay- roll, Recently an anti-Reed speak. er was reported to have said that Governor Reed had failed to use Ne- groes in state work. An investigat. fon of the records proves that the contrary ja the sase, Mr Reed's long friendship for many of the Negroes in the state iv well known and where. over It Fas been pornble for hla to do so his adi .tatratios faa early Governor Reed Has Made Good He has been energetic in law enforcement j He has reduced state taxes He bas “lifted Kansas out of Mud”, { He is honest, efficient and courageous, Hehas appointed more Negres on the state f payrole than any other govorner. 1 “He Has Made Good” ed them in state offices. ‘ahese are facts and not the wild statements of partisan politics. Evidence on this fact came to light yesterday in a telephone conversat- fon with Charles C, Lytle, who fs a Negro and at present is a deputy state fire marshal at Topeka. Me. Lythe rtated that under Governor Reed rrore Negroes have been ap- pointed to state positions than has been the case under the adminis. tration of any other Kansas governor, Before leaving paid anti—Reea speakers it will be well to check up tne records and know the facts. It is an ofd political trick: to make char. ges in speeches In the hope that a /gulalble public will swallow them without having reference to the re- cords. Local Negroes who are at the head of Governor Reed's cam: paign, of course, know how to dis- count this sort of propuganda. In- telligent Negro voters alto have tong since learned not to blieve all they hear. It is up to the well posted Negroes of Wichita to put out the facts re- garding Govetror Reed and his friexd, ship for their race, Mr, Reed Is not ufraid of an examination of any of hls official acts. Among the outstanding accomplish ments of Governor Reed that meet Negro citizens is his vigorous bach> ing up of the Attorley General's of- fice in state law enforcement. It I significant that the bootlegzers and the vice eler=it of the state are Governor Reed’s strongest op- ponents, $10,000 was appropriated to fight vice in Kansas and so far about $30,000 has been used. There have been 226 arrests with 201 con- victions due to state agents. Fines already amount to $38,000,more than money spent., and in addition 39 cars nave been consented. One of Governor Reed's campatgn promises was to “hft Kansas out of the mud.” In 1929 1,286 miles of va- lious types of surfacing were com. empl ted By thee dof 1930 the lar gest road program in the history of the state will have been completed end no longer will the tourists dodge Kansas, as they have in the past. What fs more important, the huge loss In a state where motor. {sts have always had to avoid the mud has been done away with. Many false statements have been made about taxes, As a matter of fact state taxes in 1929 were lower than they have been since 1921. The state administration has been kept within the budget and there Is a good balalce on hand above what has | been used to carry on the work. Governor Reed has given an econom- ical administration without sacrifice of efficiency. All Governor Reed and his local Negio committee ask of the intell:- gent Necro voter, Is to study the facts and vote accordingly. They aie not in favor of making spread- eagle speeches that cannot be back- an by fact and ficures.
