GOVERNOR LAN DONSPEAKS
OUT
Wo Vinvo thn
o more than once that ^ Governor
" Landon was not too kindly disposed
toward the Colored American.
Of course, this came from Democratic
sources just as from Re"
publican source come .the asset
tioh that President Roosevelt is afraid
to seem too friendly toward
the Negro. To substantiate the
latter the fact that the President
did . not lift a finger in helping
the successful enactment of thi
Cdstigan-Wagner tinti-lynching
bill with law. No longer, however
can it be said th"at Governor
Landon is indifferent to the Ne
gro. The Governor himself ha
'J " , scotched that kind of propaganda.
In a recent- statement to Robert
Churchu -the' -prominent and influential
Colore I Republican lead
er of Memphis, Tenn., he said
"We must devise some legal
means which will be effective ii
endir.e.this great menace to oui
in>tftutions. Furthermore, oui
p'artv will insist that the Negrc
shall receive~eqvfa) treatment in
receiving reliol and not be dis~
criminated against because of his
race or political faith."
In this statement Governor tandan
'touches two important
things, important to the Negro as
well as to the country. Lynching
not only deprives the Negro o:
the fundamental, constitutional
right of being tried n the Courts
but stamps the America as a place
, where the orderly processes o
law are r.ot respected. Then the
rank discrimination in the relief
administration is unworthy of the
idea which' brought forth ' the
governmental effort to_.su.eeorurnfortunate
humanity. Why there
should be racial discrimination
there is past finding out. Or.ly a
miehtv sfnall rr.ind an?. a hear*
with wormwood and gall in i
could give itself to such. lf~Governor
Land can and will lend his
earnest efforts to the ending o.
these two vile things, then every
Negro who can vote, should enlist
in the cause of having him ele^ted
President. These two evils
are not theories to the Negro but
actualities.
A FEW HAPPENINGS IN DIXIE
The South, is so often pictured
as a dark and dismal place for the
Negro that the good things are
lost .sight off and are passed by
un-Sung. " Btit allTs-by~"no "means"
dark and dreary as may be gleaned
frorji the following: 1. In MTss^
jssippj. the supreme court heard
arguments in the appeal of a white
man who was convicted by a jury
of whites for the dastardly murder
of a colored man and his wife.
He was sentenced to be Electro
euted. His accomplice was convicted
and received a life sentence;
he did not appeal as he had en
tered a plea of guilty. Keep ir,
mind this was in Mississippi,.
2. The same day as above, the
Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed
a sentence of one year given
a white man for Stealing a hop
of a Negro. This culprit complained
of the fact that a jury ol
white men believed the Negro's
testimony instead of his?a com?*
* mon appeal made by cheap law'*
yers to a white jury where the
testmoiny of colored Witnesses is
, Commenting on that point the
Supreme Court said: "Concededly,
it is to the discredit of Linebaugh
* (the appellant), a white man, that
a jury of his county saw fit to heed
trrjieve Negro's testimony in pref
>?* to his, especially where inv
IprisoYiment in the penitentiary is ^
involved, but with this we have ]
nothing to do. If LinebaOgh's life <
and conduct have been such as to J
.warrant?this?infamy,?he?has no -<
one to blame but himself." *
3. And yet again, on the same 4
day in Mississippi, another act,
that of Mr. R. H. Green, a whole- e
sale merchant of Jackson, stands j
out. By his will he disposed of
his estate appraised at betwee.n
six and seven hundred' thousand
dollars. After stipulated gifts of
to relatives, friends and "
servants, he placed the remainder
in .triist for hospitalization of indigent
Negroes.
4., . Last week in ChaTTotte, N
C.,'two Negroes were "indicted for
murder. The Grand Jury ho we vet
which voted the indictment was
composed of all white men. The
lawyers defending the two men
challenged the legality of the
Grand Jury because of this?a
thing that has been the custom ;
in the South for almost 50 years.
The presiding judge in view of the
"Scottshoro" case* decided hy thp !
I U. S. Supreme Court nad to susi
tain the contention of the lawyers.
These, of course, are but a . few
of the encouraging things >that
are happening.

CHOPPERS AM) TENANTS n<
GET LARGER SHARE tl
A A A PAYMENT b<
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, G

- c:- Sey, Field Officer
A
Southern sharecroppers who
have been trying since the Civil
War to secure a more equitable
distribution of the income from fc
cotton are receiving a larger share ,t;
of government payments this yeai ^
man under previous AAA Frograms.
' 7
The Agricultural Adjustment .
Admihistration. having learned 11
I through experience that special at- J'
; tention should be given the inter- 1
ests of tenants and sharecroppers, al
has outlined the following for di- {
vision of government payments:. ^
37 1-2 percent to the person fui
nishing the land; 12 1-2 percent to
the person furnishing the work *
stock and equipment; 50 percent tt *
be divided as the crop is divided. n.(
This means that the payment 1 '
share for the tenant varies with
the leasing agreement between the u
landlord and the tenant' but the u
sharecropper MUST receive at
least 25 percent of the soil-conser ' (
vine payment's and-This will?be- ?
paid BY CHECK DIRECT FROM ai
THE GOVERNMENT TO THE n}
SHARECROPPER. Under nreviou
nroirrami! tVw> "
received only about 15 percent and
the check was made out in most
cases to the landlord. Many~rsharefi'nppio
i . m pi n i n oil th-it thny n..? -til
er received their share of the ben ,
efit payments. ' V
The total number of sharecrop
pers in the United State in 1935 '^
was 2.800,000, of which one-third '
were Negroes. During the same "
year, there were 180,005 Negro
farm owners ..who cultivated more
than 11.000,000 acres. The bulk
of the Negro tenants and sharecroppers.
as well as Negro land
owners, is in the South.
With the present prices, and the ai
large*l domestic crop since 1933. ,
farmers' income from cotton this Jk:
season will probably b<? the largest
since 1929-30 and from 70 to 80
percent larger than the low level u
of 1932-33. In addition to sharing
government' payments, Negri-.- .
cotton farmers in the South also *
will benefit by the increased pric- i*
es brought about by operation of
the present Administration's farm
policies.
