mt \nY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO 8HED HI8 BLOOD FOR
HI8 COUNTRY 18 GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A 8QUARE DEAL
AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN
SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. — ROQ8EVELT.
During the entertainments and other affairs at Emancipation
Park, what mode of transportation do the vast majority of our
people employ ?
Suppose the traction company were to go defunct, bankrupt or
into hands of a receiver?
Just suppose the street cars stopped running? We wonder what
our people, those who live so far from their places of employment,
would do?
"there is an old saying that goes something like this: “We never
miss the water till the well goes drywhile a composer of the
blues makes his singer shout, “You’ll never know the good man
I’ve been until I’m gone away!”
It will be well for our people to employ a little common sense
and demonstrate a little gratitude in this forthcoming election,
rather than vote their popular prejudices and try to strike back
at the local traction company because the San Felipe jitney line
was abolished.
The local traction company could not abolish any jitney line; it
has not the authority—this authority is only vested in the city
council or the electors of the municipality..
The reason why the only local colored jitney line was abolished
by official dictum is attributable largely, if not solely, to our sad
political plight in Houston. The city officials are not elected to
office by our votes and hence they care little about our wants and
desires along any particular line.
The colored jitney line was abolished because our people are a
nonentity in the political affairs of the city, and as such constitute
a handy football or hound dog, to be treated roughly and kicked
about at will.
One of our crying faults is our refusal or failure to vote in all
elections where we can cast a ballot; for if we fail to exercise our
elective franchise rights, we should only blame ourselves for our
political plight and civic predicament.
So many of our people think that, when they oppose a proposi-
tion that is before the voters of the city or community, they show
their opposition by not voting.
Then, too, some of our people seem to think that they will either
be arrested or shot, if they offer to vote at the various elections
and hence they remain away from the polls on election days—but,
oh! how tl^ey can sing the “blues” about “our sad and sorry lot
in Houston!”
JITNEYS FOR WHITE PEOPLE ONLY OR STREET CARS
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ? This is the paramount question in the
forthcoming election, and, since our people can not ride in these
“white” jitneys, common sense or even intuition suggests that we
vote for the abolition of these “white” jitneys, which are nothing
but transportation parasites and traffic leeches.
Get ready to vote to abolish the jitneys on election day, Satur-
day, January 19, 1924!

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1924
OUR TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.
Some of the proponents of the white jitneys (yes, we have no
colored jitneys! and prospects are rather gloomy for any, even if
the voters decide to retain the white jitneys) are contending that
the voters should get certain guarantees, warranties and gilt-
edged promises from officials of the Houston Street Car Company
before casting a ballot for the abolition of these white jitneys.
The citizens committee, after much labor and effort, had the
officials of the local traction company to make certain definite
promises and assurances and under the terms of the agreement,
the city can force the traction company to carry out its part of
the agreement or contract.
Already, as far as this phase of the matter is concerned, the
local traction company has made extensions and improvements in
various parts of the city; has purchased and installed the latest
type of cars and has considerably improved its service and raised
the tone of its employes under the present local management.
And in this connection it may be pertinent to state that the
colored citizens of Houston have the best street car service afford-
ed our people in any Texas city.
Visit the other cities of the Lone Star State and notice how in-
adequate the traction service is in districts occupied by our people;
how far they have to walk to board a car and what small provisions
are made for them on so many of the lines in those cities.
We are not holding any brief for the service here as it regards
our people in toto, but The Informer knows that more street car
lines serve and reach the colored people in Houston and its en-
virons than in any other Texas city.
There is the San Felipe line, which is almost a colored line, save
the operator of the car; the Dowling line, which goes almost to
the end of Dowling Street; the Pierce Avenue-West End line that
serves the residents of “deep Third Ward;” the Liberty, Harris-
burg, North Side, Sunset Heights, La Branch, Leeland lines; to
say nothing of the Mandell, Montrose, Louisiana and similar lines
that serve so many of our people who work in those districts.
Unlike the majority of the Texas cities, the colored people of
this city live in all parts of the municipality, and there is hardly
a street car line in Houston that does not serve our people, and
most of them in a large measure.
The company plans to establish a new line to serve our people
in the Fifth W’ard, in the event the white jitneys are abolished
at the election of Saturday, January 19.
Other extensions and improvements have been assured on the
part of the traction company officials, and this huge expenditure
of money will mean the employment of additional colored men.
Between the white jitneys and street cars, the colored people of
this community have no other alternative except the traction com-
pany ; for there is both a written and unwritten local law prohibit-
ing colored people riding in these “white” jitneys.
On the pro rata basis, population considered, our people are
more dependent upon street cars than are the members of the
other race; for the latter own thousands of automobiles, while our
people are not so well blessed and must rely almost wholly and
solely upon the street cars or resort to the T. P. & W. (“take
pains and walk”).
How do those of our race, who must be at their jobs early in
the mornings or late at nights, get to and from their posts of
labor?
How do the majority of the men who reside in the other wards
of the1 city, get to the Southern Pacific shops in the mornings?
How do they reach home in the evenings?
What means of transportation serves those of our race who are
employed in Montrose, Hyde Park, Mandell and other white resi-
dential sections of the city ?
How do those of our men who work at Harrisburg and, the Turn-
ing Basin, get to and from their work ?
How do the colored residents of Independence Heights, the erst-
while colored municipality, reach the city, get to and from their
jvork?
HARRIS COUNTY’S “JIM-CROW” TAX LINE!
We have heard of “jim-crow” railroad accommodations and
“jim-crow” discriminations of various kinds, but it remained for
the tax collector’s office of Harris County to institute, inaugurate
or adopt a “jim-crow” tax paying line—really to out-“jim-crow”
all the “jim-crows!”
Colored tax payers were startled and dumbfounded when they
visited the Harris County court house last week and saw one sign
with the inscription, “For Women,” but when colored women were
ordered out of the line and forced to stand in the line with men,
it was a new species of “jim-crowism” for these parts.
Here were American citizens, members of the feminine family,
who were denied the small privilege of standing in line with other
American women to pay their state highway taxes on their auto-
mobiles !
Several months ago or a few years ago, the county clerk’s office
issued an edict and enforced it, not only requiring but compelling
every colored man who entered that office on business to doff his
hat, notwithstanding the fact that men of other races were not
made to pursue this hat-doffing and “squatting” course in said
office. •
But why is it necessary for American citizens and tax payers to
be proscribed against, “jim-crowed,” humiliated, embarrassed
and otherwise insulted by servants of the people at the tax col
lector’s office or the office of any other county and municipal
official?
When and where did they lose their status as “female of the
species ?”
When did colored women cease to be “women?”
Ordered out of the line with “white women” these “jim-crowed”
race women were a pitiable sight, jostled, jeered and jammed by
the males of other races, many of whom could not see the wisdom,
propriety nor necessity of imposing such humiliation and rank and
wilful discrimination upon these tax-paying citizens of the female
gender!
It appears that it is a crime for a colored woman to own an auto-
mobile and pay highway taxes in Harris County, and for this
offense she must suffer the penalty of being “jim-crowed” and
treated like cattle!
In social matters no colored woman nor man intrudes himself
upon those who are not anxious about her or his company, but
when it comes to paying taxes and transacting business with
county and city officers, it ceases to be a social matter, but be-
comes and is merely a matter of business.
Unlike mercantile establishments where, if a member of the race
is mistreated and humiliated in one store, he or she can trade with
another, no such situation obtains in paying state highway, state
and county taxes and transacting other business with the regular-
ly appointed and constituted offices of the county government.
With the exception of the poll tax, which can be paid at the
American Mutual, 7141/2 Prafrie Avenue, all citizens must pay
their state and county taxes and secure their automobile license
(state highway) at the court house of Harris County.
The county officials and attaches of the various county offices
are paid from the taxes of all the people, and yet they have the
brazen affrontery and unmitigated gall to hurl, insult after insult
in the face of some of the tax payers who help to make possible
their retention in office and compensation for services (?) ren-
dered.
These same women can visit the various business houses of the
city and purchase goods at the same counter, at the same time;
but when it comes to paying their taxes—ah! they must be sepa-
rated and kept apart, lest the colored women pollute, defile and
contaminate their white sisters!
How would you feel, if you not only had to pay your taxes, but
were compelled to be “jim-crowed” and segregated when paying
them ?
It is funny how some male members of the white race can act
with reference to colored women in the day time and pursue such
a different attitude when the shades of night have fallen and
darkness, which they say has no eyes, holds sway over the city!
Colored women are not good enough to stand in the same line
with white women at the tax window at the county court house,
but any number of these ebony-hued sisters are good enough to be
concubines, platonic and clandestine lovers of any number of men
of the “superior” race—that is, during the nights!
Here is a job for the local Committee on Inter-Racial Co-opera-
tion, if said committee is not hibernating in its winter quarters.
Pay your poll tax at the American Mutual and get ready for the
political battles of 1924!
