fought to q conclusion at a special ses-
sion Of the Legislature which Gov. Ely
will call within 80 days to draft new

A smaller group Of legislators Is de-
termined to write into the new code a
recommendation for q statute which
will permit barrooms to serve intoxi-
cantS under certain restrictions. but
they face opposition from a large group
Of their associates who propose to make
the new code so rigid that licenses can
not be issued in any section OF the Com
monwealth for the consumption OF
liquor on the premises.
In between these two groups OF ex-
tremists stands q third group whose
members will support legislation which
will provide for the sale OF cocktails
and highballs in hotels. restaurants and
chartered social clubs equipped to serve
food to their patrons.
This issue has been brought to the
surface at q time when Gov. Ely has
declared that he will recommend legis-

CORN AND HOG AID
BIG BOON TO IOWA
Whole State Brightens Up al
Prospect of Having
Ready Money.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

DES MONIES, Iowa, October IA
For the first time in more than decade
of distress Iowa corn and hog farmers
last week contemplated Government
aid in the form of immediate cash bene-
fits.
And right behind them stand the
merchants of this rich industrial and
agricultural area. considerably bright
ened by the prospect of many millions
of dollars coming into the hands Of
their customers.
Already beaming a bit timidly, the
Iowa banker stands hopefully with the
merchant and the farmer, looking to
better times ahead. The reflnancing
Of farm mortgages held by Iowa banks,
which has been speeded materially in
the last few weeks, is cause for the
better feeling in banking circles.
Gov. Clyde Herring announced last
week that on Wednesday the State
banking department had received notice
of approval Of more than S225,000 in
loans. Gov. Herring said many Of the
loans went through as requested. Prac-
tically all this money will be used as
loans on restricted bank paper. 1t is
now hoped that many individual loans
will be expedited by the hurry-up orders
OF Henry Morgenthau, jr., farm credit
governor.
Iowa is producing this year an es-
timated 413,25o,Ooo bushels of corn, 1s
per cent of the total estimated United
States crop Of 1924, 799 900 bushels. The
average production this year IS about 38
bushels an acre-and that will mean a
Federal rental of approximately $12 an
acre for corn land taken out of produc-
tion. There are more than 10000
acres of corn annually in Iowa
Likewise Iowa produced in 1882 269
per cent of the total number Of hogs
slaughtered under Federal inspection
in the country. This means more than
one-fourth of the money to be paid by
the Government for hogs taken out Of
production will go into the pockets Of
Iowa farmers.
Additional opportunities for Iowa
laborers opened during the week with
the letting in Ames of road building
contracts totaling $1,000,0OO. This
brings the total of contracts let In the
last few months to 81, ,120,192. More than
5000 men are now employed on these
contracts and more are being added.

NEW ORLEANS, La, October IA
Louisiana politics, simmering for many
months, will begin to boil today, when
Senator Huey P. Long is scheduled to
start a speaking tour on which he plans
to take his sound trucks and literature
vans into every section Of the State.
The Senator's scheduled speech at
Donaldsonville today will be his first
since he returned to Louisiana after
adventures at Sands Point, Long Is
land. and Milwaukee.
How We Are Going to Give Tax
Relief in Louisiana" the Senator as
serts, will be the theme Of his speaking
tour, which he has announced will be
followed by a special session of the
Louisiana Legislature to be called by
Gov. o. K. Allen in response to de-
mands from all parts Of the State for
relief from taxes.
Contradicts Governor.
Senator Longs announcement that
the Governor will soon call special
session Of the lawmakers contradicted
statement made several days before by
Gov. Allen, who informed former State
Senator John M. Caffery, president OF
the Property Taxpayers League Of
Louisiana, that he would not call a
special session in the near future be-
cause no definite recommendations for
tax reform had been submitted to him.
The Governors statement was chal-
lenged by members of the louisiana
Tax Reform Commission, created by the
Legislature in 1882. and the contro-
versy led to a conference attended~by
members of the commission and Sen
ator Long, leader of the political or
ganization of which Gov. Allen is
member.
Agreement Is Reached.
After this conference the Senator an
nounced that he had reached an agree
ment with the Tax Reform Commission
whereby legislation taxing certain cor.
porate interests and special interests"
will be submitted for approval at the
special session.
Members of the commission, however,
asserted that there had been no com.
promise" with the Senator and tnat

the LEGISLATURE are those included IN
its published reports. One of these rec
concentrations is for the abolishment
of certain State Offices and departments
in the interest of economy.
How the public schools OF the State
are faring from the various new taxes
levied assertedly for their benefit by the
LEGISLATURE in 1882 was shown by ng-
ures tabulated recently by State Auditor
L. B. Baynard.
s2,336,922 Due Schools.
Auditor Baynard's records show that
g. total of S4, ,7O9 ,052.80 has been turned

figures with those Of the auditor has
been impossible.

but higher than for September, 1882.
The drop from August was is per cent,
and the increase compared to last year,
1876 per cent, according to the Brown
University Bureau of Business Research.
Easing Of industrial activity, however, Is
held to account for the months drop.
September pay rolls amounted to
$11 1888 1929. and analysis shows the drop
to be entirely caused by decrease OF
industrial pay rolls. Non-manufactur-
ing pay rolls for September were slightly
greater than those for August. Slight
gains were noted in iron and steel
products, jewelry, silverware and rub
Der industries, and falling of in tex
tiles.
Dollar Sales Increase.
Net dollar sales volume for the State
increased 7.3 per cent during the month
over September, 1892. with an almost
equal gain for Providence stores. The
Providence total represented q gain OF
1879 per cent over the previous month,
and while q seasonal gain was to be ex-
pected, 1t was of more than seasonal
proportions. The gain in this city con-
trasts with "a per cent decline In
Boston, 9 per cent in Springfield, Mass,
and a 54 per cent increase in New
Haven, Conn.
Gov. Green attended conference Of
New England Governors in Boston to
discuss formation of proposed agree
ments for continuance Of the provisions
of the national recovery act after that
twe-year law expires. The principal
objectives are to obtain elimination Of
child labor, protection Of women and
children in industry generally. and to
get enactment of labor-hours legislation.
N. r. A. Protects Few.
Chairman Arthur Henius of the Prov

than 200 complaints Of N. r.. A. blanket
code violations in three weeks of the
boards life, and most of those have
been due to misunderstanding and are
being satisfactorily adjusted. Only a

far beyond the city limits.
Frank Couzens, son OF Senator
Couzens, is a candidate for mayor to
succeed himself, and the general sup
position Is that the elder Couzens' de-
sire is to see his son eventually sworn
in as United States Senator as his
successor.
A necessary step toward this goal Is
winning the mayoralty race. cam
paign of much interest is under way here
with the eyes of the entire State on
Detroit.
Young Couzens was one Of the win

day in which a vast field of candidates,
all aiming their fire at Couzens, par
ticipated.
Young Couzens succeeded Mayor
Frank Murphy when the latter was
appointed Governor Of the Philippine
Islands.
The proposal to establish State-oWQeo
stores for dispensing hard liquors In
line with the Quebec plan has aroused
opposition from the druggists and hotel
keepers, who assert their establishments
are the proper places fer hard liquor
sales. Furthermore, the liquor store
plan is being attacked as another ex-
pensive item for politicians. Either the
drug stores or hotels are pointed out as
dispensing units that will not call for
extra help on the public pay roll. The
problem must be threshed out by the
Legislature at a special session in
january.

BURLINGTON, VT, October 7.-For
the second time in two years Vermont
ers will be asked to g. ,cse, in special
election, some one to succeed a de-
ceased United States Senator. In 1881
Warren r. Austin vas elected to fill
out the unexpired term Of Frank L.
Greene. Mr.. Greene died while Con-
gress was in session in December
of 1880. and Gov. Weeks appointed
Frank c. Partridge to serve until an
election could be held. At a special
primary election the following Spring
Mr.. Austin defeated Mr.. Partridge for
the Republican nomination and was
later elected Under the present law
If vacancy occurs in the Office Of
United States Senator more than six
months prior to the next general cleo
tlon the Governor is required to call
a special election, but he also has the
right to make a temporary appoint
ment pending such election.
Gov. Wilson is expected to call
special election to choose a successor
to Senator Porter H. Dale, who died at
his Summer home in Newark, VT, last
week.
Five Times Representative.
Active in Vermont politics for more
than IS years, Mr.. Dale was for five
terms Representative In Congress from
the second district OF this State, and
since 1923 has been in the United
States Senate. to which he was re-elec-
ted last November for 6-year term.
Following long and unbroken custom,
1t may be regarded as certainty that
his successor will come from the east
side Of the State, since Senator Austin
lives on the west side. This makes
Representative Ernest W. Gibson Of
Brattleboro. who succeeded Mr.. Dale
in the House Of Representatives 10
years ago and has served continuously
since that time, eligible and a logical
candidate. There are likely to be other
candidates for the Republican nominal
ton and already the names of Gov
Wilson, Judge John W. Redmond of
Newport and Charles A. Plumley Of
Northfeld have been mentioned.
Work in Camps Shows.
The members of the Civilian ConseY-
vation Corps in Vermont camps already
have much to show for their work. On
a mountain in the town of Waitsfield
they have built 35-foot fire tower with
lookout cabin for forest rangers Con-
siderable difficulty was experienced In
building the tower as the moantain Is
so steep that the materials had to be
hauled up on horseback and by the
men.
On the last pitch a 35-foot cliff had
to be scaled and materials hauled over
1t by means Of ropes. In the Canei's
Hump Forest 100000 trees are to be
planted and $4,000 have already been

other camps, where men are also en-
gagged in putting up barracks to take

The program has been drawn up BY
the Delaware Recovery Commission for

ects which would be paid entirely by
the Federal government. From the re-
naming amount Gov. Buck has In
dicated wish that the Legislature
not exceed $2,500,000 In the total cost
to the State in projects given its sane
ton. However, he intends that the full
program will give employment to every
citizen of the State who desires It, and
this factor would govern his attitude
toward the amount approved.
Meanwhile Secretary Ickes' demand
that the State speed up Its work under
