He called upon Evan T. Hewes, pres
ident of the board, to open the
discussion.
Arthur Edgar expressed himself
as being in favor of a majority rule
by the board as that is the regular
way in which such things should
be carried on and saw no reasons
for any change in that method of
procedure now.
Hewes then spoke, prefacing his
remarks by the statement that he
was making no apology for the ma
jority of the board as none was
needed. This action, he stated, was
not taken in haste nor without due
consideration. The treasurer of the
district, he said, should be free from
influence by the board The offices
of secretary and treasurer should
be separated and McIver will con-
tinue as treasurer as there is no in

not continue on as treasurer at the

to that position. He reviewed the
whole situation and charged that it
was an attempt to disorganize the
district by piecemeal by making the
contemplated changes in its per-

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 25.-Huey
P. Longs open break with President
Roosevelt, his heckling of the NRA
and his rather affluent mode of liv-
ing compared to claims of poverty
were considered important factors
today in his fall from the pinnacle
of political power in Louisiana.
Few observers believed that the
man who came out of the red clay
hills of the northeastern part of the
state as boy to lift himself lnVo
the governorShip and then to the
United States senate would be able
to recoup the losses he suffered in
this weeks municipal Election.
His forces ran poor. second, and
he announced today that he would
not enter his ticket in a run-off pri-
mary. That, observers said, clearly
indicated the seriousness of his
plight, and the probability that he
will not compete for minor political
scraps he might conceivably pick
up.
Longs attitude toward the PreSi-
dent cost him practically every YES
tige of patronage power in Louisi-
ana; his criticism of the new deal
cut heavily into his popular sup
port, while farmers and laborers
who once hailed him as "kingfish," !"
could not understand how a poor
man could afford shiny new auto
mobiles, bodyguards, 100000 man
sion and a penthouse atop an 18-
story hotel here.
The reaction against Long in Lou
isiana also reflected the stinging re-
buke of his political methods con-
tained in the U. S. senate sub-com-
mittees investigation of the 1882
senatorial campaign, his coincident
burning in effigy by irate citizens,
and that famous -blacking cpl
sode at Sands Point some months
back.
Long, chatting under defeat, Sc
cluded himself in his Roosevelt no.

parently undetermined what his
future course will be.

The CWA began with an allot-
ment of $4OO,OO0000 of public works
funds to Harry Hopkins, Federal
Emergency Relief administrator.
Another $350,000,000 is to be spent.
Hopkins has been somewhat dis
appointed in the matter of political
use of CWA funds and their use for
private gain. But more than 4,000,-
900 persons did get jobs. 1t is cost
ing the government approximately
$100 to carry each CWA worker

President Roosevelt evidently will

INCOME TAX
BILL AMENDED
By EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The
house ways and means committee,
it was learned today, has reached a
tentative decision to report out a
$3.50, 100000 tax revision bill which
would place a penalty on conSolidat-
ed income tax returns and impose a
tax on foreign tax credits.
The legislation will be the next
major bill of financial Importance
to be considered by the house.
Despite the attitude of the treas
ury that various proposals OF the
subcommittee would "retard bus
iness'' it was learned that in the
main the proposals would be fol-
lowed.
1t was understood that at a con-
ference of Democratic members of
the committee it was decided that
the bill should contain:
l. A provision placing an addi-
tional tax of two per cent against
companies which file consolidated
returns. The treasury had held
that corporations would find some
other tax loophole with which to
evade tax payments if the consoli-
dated return form was abolished
entirely. .-
g That the bill should contain a
provision eliminating the present
allowance for foreign income tax
credits to be credited against the
federal income tax. The treasury
had opposed such restriction.
The bill is designed mainly to
close loopholes in the present tax
structure disclosed by a senate in
vestigation as having been utilized
for tax evasion purposes by finan-
cial companies and individuals.
