Donaldsonville Chief: Alvin L. He
bet, the young New Orleans lawyer who
did some stumping for Sam Robertson
in this district last year. is out with an
announcement Of his candidacy for sec
rctary Of State. and the main plank OF
his platform is the declaration that the
emouments of the office are excessive
and should be reduced. He figures that
the salary and fees received by the pres
cnt secretary aggregate over $4,000 a
year. and advocates legislation that will
relcgate $4,000 of this exorbltant com
pensation to the State treasury.
This is practical refrom with a CAPT
tai r.
Mr.. Hebert says Il can see no reason
why the Secretary of State should re-
ceive more money than the Governor
the justices of the Supreme Court and
the Attorney General" " Who can?
