Of the 200.000 whites, eighty percent are said to vote elsewhere, maintain- ing a state vote for political reasons. Of the total 100.000 colored voters, eighty percent maintain a residence in the District, which 1 means the colored vote would be two to one against the white. Whites who objected to the pro-. position, spoke through une Rob- ert B. Anderson, who advanced the opinion that although is i too bad the District should have taxation without representation, the voting as now proposed is not the proper solution.

As the District operates under the Federal Constitution, it would be unconstitutional to trv and prevent the Negro from vot-: lug. Perhaps the only solution to this Is a constitutional amendment, to put the District on the same par as a State.

Insurance: There are 44 Negro life insurance companies in the United States. Annual income exceeds $16,000,000. Insurance in force exceeds Assets exceed $18,000,000.

From a standpoint of concentrated capital, life insurance represents the largest field of business in which the race is engaged. Employees are in excess of 8.000. Stores: Like all other businesses, Negro business in this field, suffered greatly during the depression period from 1929 to 1936. Unfavorable experience during this period taught him a painful but much needed lesson beneficial for years to come. He found out the necessity of busi- ness training, the developing of technique, reduction of costs, how to buy, the need for cooperation, pooling of resources and the great need of capable management in the field of trade and commerce.

He has slowly but surely realized the definite need for becoming more business enterprise minded. He is developing a consciousness of the value of his purchasing power. As an example of this new awakening, we have discovered that according- to a recent survey of 890,000 Negroes in the south, in 17 of the largest cities, his an-; nual purchasing power was esti- mated li $308,000 000. which compares favorably with the en-: tire export trade with the com- bined Central American coun-, tries in 1929. It was also disclosed that the annual purchasing power of the Negro in these U.

S. A. is estimated to exceed $2,000,000,000. Merchants There are 25.791 Negro retail merchants with an annual business of 2" of employers-proprietors. 28 243; employes, full time.
