Betts Will Seek Re-election to Commission Post Announcement was made recently by Corporation Commissioner Amos A. Betts, that he will be a candidate for re-election to the Corporation Commission this Fall. Commissioner Betts is concluding his second term as a Member of the Commission. Throughout the period of his service, he has devoted the major portion of his time to handling of railroad rate cases before the Arizona Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Among the outstanding victories which he has won are: The Three-cent Fare Case, in which the fares for passenger transportation both state and interstate were reduced from 4.8 cents to 3.6 cents per mile,—resulting in savings to Arizona in excess of one million dollars annually; The Express Rate Case of 1922; The Perishable Products (Refrigeration) Case of 1924; The Milk and Creamery Case of 1925; Ex Parte 87, in which the railroads of the Western Division sought increases in rates aggregating more than one hundred million dollars; The General Investigation relating to Livestock Rates in the Western District; several lumber cases; a number of cases relating to rates on hay, grain and other farm products; the re-adjustment and establishment of rates under which the Arizona Packing Company's business was saved from destruction and a line of rates permitting the Apache Powder Company to function. In the Express Rate Case, Ex Parte 87, the Milk and Creamery Case, the Perishable Products Case and the General Livestock Investigation, Commissioner Betts was Chairman of the Committee of State Commissioners representing Arizona and other Western States, occupying the Bench with the Members of the Interstate Commerce Commission in a (Continued on page 11) PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JUNE, 1928 Dr. W.

Thirty-three young men and women received the Bachelor of Arts degree, the largest group in the history of the college. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. W. F. Bryan of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Austin, and the baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Reverend W. L. Turner, the scholarly pastor of the Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, Austin. In the opinion of many, the commencement was a veritable inspiration and stimulation to the large audience witnessing the occasion. But for the absence of President T. R. Davis, who was an honored delegate to the General Conference held in Kansas City, the commencement could have been easily ranked as the best in the institution's history. The graduating class numbered among its ranks young people of unusual and varied talents and many-sided interests. Twelve received their degrees with honor. Madeline A. Lovinggood, daughter of the founder of the college, was the ranking student of the class. She received her degree, Magma Cum Laude. Mamie E. Davis of Fort Worth was the second ranking student, and also was awarded her degree, Magna Cum Laude. Special honors, for excellency in the several departments together with prizes, were given distinguished students. Diplomas were awarded to twenty nine graduates of the Senior High School Department. Albertine Henderson and Thelma Ake were the honor students of the class. Mrs. George R. Felter, Superintendent, Travis County Schools, gave the address to the class.

The faculty was considered by experts as one of the best in the South, and the many magazine articles appearing from the pens of its members bear witness to its scholarly productiveness. There were over 300 students in the col- lege department registered for de- gree courses. Many new and effec- tive courses formed an integral part of the academic program during the current year. Athletics took on due significance. The opening of what is thought to be the finest athletic stadium among Negro schools in the South is worthy of mention.

I do not believe that Arizona ever again will be called upon to face such great opposition as was en- countered during the session of Congress recently recessed. I think that California will not be able again to muster such support for the Swing-Johnson Boulder Canyon Dam legislation as she commanded dur- ing the last session of Congress. Every sort of trade was made by representatives of California in or- der to enlist votes for this iniquitious measure. Through continuous and repeated attempts in the con- trolled newspapers to create the impression in the public mind that all those who opposed the Boulder Canyon Dam Bill were creatures of the power trust, and by threatening to go into the campaigns against members of Congress who voted against the bill, California was able to intimidate many con- gressmen into supporting the measure contrary to their honest convictions. The bills will not come before Congress again until after the general elections. At that time I am convinced more members of Congress will vote on the measure according to their convictions and less in accordance with what they believe to be political expediency. Arizona has nothing to fear from a vote on the bills based on their merits. We believe that when congressmen vote their convictions the Boulder Canyon Dam bill will be overwhelmingly defeated. The fight is by no means ended. But the final outcome appears more promising provided Arizona will exercise vigilance to protect her interests. I believe that if the people of Arizona remain alert and united, we will eventually win a recognition of our reasonable rights and interests in the Colorado River. We have right, justice and equity on our side and in the end these principles will prevail. It is essential to the vital interests of Arizona and her citizens that our people do not become dis- couraged or disheartened, and that they give continued and unqualified support and backing to the men whom they have designated to represent our stata in the fight to preserve and safeguard our in- terests in the tremendous resources of the Colorado River.

It took years to free one another from slavery—some men were even assassinated to free a certain group not so very long ago, and for which freedom we are thankful today.

The Emancipation Proc- lamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, and which went into effect January 1st, 1863, grant- ed freedom to more than four million slaves in this country. The fact that this Proclama- tion had been issued was with- held from many of the states until June 19th, hence the cele- bration of that date by the de- scendants of the former slaves of those states. It is an occasion when the colored people generally, pause for a moment, and take a retro- spective view of the past. The progress and achievement of the race are noted, and inspiration and encouragement given the youth of this group to ascend to higher heights. History does not record similar progress made by any other race of people in such a short period of time. Sixty-five years ago, over nine- ty per cent of the colored people in this country were illiterate, and today this illiteracy has been reduced to ten per cent. Since Emancipation, the race has produced doctors, lawyers, merchants, teachers, artists, bankers, and other business and professional men and women woh can measure arms with the white man—and the end is not yet. The black race has acquir- ed over $2,000,000,000 worth of property and taken its place among the progressive peoples of the world. The great prog- ress shown by this group of peo- ple has been made in the face of many obstacles. They are a people who laugh at barriers, and succeed, not because of them but in spite of them. Who can predict what one hundred years will show in the progress and achievement of such a people? May they continue on their up- ward way with “EXCELSIOR” as their-motto and guide. LINCOLN AND ROSENWALD The Negro people have their Emancipation Day to honor Lin- coln. Thus they remember the one who set them free; now they have established another holiday to honor the one who more than any other in the land has extended to them the hands of good will and brotherhood. They call it Rosenwald Day after Julius Rosenwald of Chi- cago. If Lincoln broke the chains that bound the Negro, Julius Rosenwald has more than any ohter individual in the land been instrumental in lifting the pros- trate Negro to his feet. In twen- ty-five cities he has laid the Page Five foundations of Negro Y.M.C.A.’s by gifts of $25,000 each. Thru- out the south there are hun- dreds of Rosenwald Schools for Negro children, established thru the munificence of Julius Ros- enwald. Mindful of these things, the Negro department of the na- tional Y.M.C.A. has proclaimed Rosenwald Day to be observed every year. Thus the Negro people set before the eyes of prejudice the grandeur of one whose gener- osity knows no distinctions of race or religion. The difference between Negroes and other peo- ple is that other people have been out of slavery longer. It it some 8,000 years since the Jews escaped from Pharaoh, and it is only a handful of cen- turies since Nordics were bound in feudal serfdom. — B’Nai B’rith Magazine.
