LONG CHARGES
STANDARD OIL
Youthful Governor Claims
His Tax On Oil Brought
Case Against Him

BATON ROUGE, La, March 90
-(P)-The Standard Oil company
today was drawn into Impeachment
proceedings by Governor Huey P
Long, who charged its agents insti-
gated the accusations from official
mlSdemeanorS to a plot to murder
against which he must defend him
self Monday night before the house
OF representatives sitting as a Su-
preme grand jury.
In a signed statement, Governor
Long charged the Oil company was
attempting ito tear the state wide
open and to remove the governor
from office who dares to mention
that anything can be done with
them" He accused the company
with spending ten thousand dol
lars in opposing his proposed tax
on oil, saying money was turned
loose in sluices in Baton Rouge.
He denounced the newspapers as
Standard Oil publications with
their pages covered with every
imaginable lie and villification."
They STANDARD Oil company
have stOrmed the state house where
the weak-hearted feared even for
the life and safety Of my supporters
and myself" he asserted. by some
process, known only to them, they
have been able to either take over,
to beat over or to buy over, some in
whom I reposed respect and conf
dence and for whom I yet indulge a
charity
This is the third time in my yet
young life in which this nefarious
corporation has been able to drag
me before the bar to fight for my
own liberty and political preserva-
ton, all just because I fought down
the line until they were compelled
to submit to right" declared the
governor What 1 proposed was a
tax on the business of the Standard
Oil company to make and sell
lubricating oil and gasoline in Lou
isiana. That form Of tax has been
and is now paid by nearly every
merchant, doctor and lawyer and
by nearly every business in this
state. So I proposed that out of
the same one hundred millions of
dollars made by the oil trust iH this
state, that they pay the state wee
bit so that we might help these un-
fortunate human beings who are
suffering and dying because we
cannot help them, and in order
that we might give relief to schools
that cannot run without some help
But, no sooner had this bill hit
the legislature than the oil trust
woke up and shook this state from
one end to the other like a toy
This nefarious criminal element
and its newspapers began imme-
diately to say that if I did not draw
down this proposition that 1 should
be impeached. 'Impeach him. wa.
their cry. Hell is not hot enough
for the man who tackles u.s. is the
warning this nefarious corporation
gives to public officials"
Friends Of the accused governor
circularized the capital with print
ed dogers,, calling on the legislator
to stand by the governor and crush
the money ring" Supporters o
the impeachment move urged thei

The stern of a Roman galley

that probably there were left
