Long Seeks Drastic Laws
ToCrush Bayou City, Rule

Another legislative move pro-
vides for a complete series OF
investigations" in the States
metropolis. A bill was offered
permitting the governor to
finance these probes with any
surplus funds collected by the
supervisor of public accounts.
The State police would be paid
from the same source.
Lotteries Hit
Another blow Is being struck at
lotteries and race track activities
in New Orleans. A bill was in
troduced providing heavy fines
and imprisonment for dissemina-
ton of race news by telegraph,
radio, or telephone except at or
ganized tracks.
Long supporters compose a
of the legislative body,
and it was with this knowledge
that the "Kingfish" ordered the
session assembled.
Steps to speed up his personal
measures have already been
launched. The Senate voted 21-6
to permit suspension of all rules
by a majority vote. The House
will consider the proposal today.
Under the rules of the past ses-
sion, a two-thirdS vote was neceS-
sary to suspend the rules.

have developed during the past
two weeks in the new house that
I never knew until now.
Several outstanding firms Of in
terror decorators in Philadelphia
and Baltimore inspect the Miller
exhibit houses for ideas, and the
same applies to a number Of build
erS.
But the builders often miss
some Of the most attractive points
about the Miller homes. The local
firm leaves the trees standing,
however small they are, if it is
possible to do so, and they inva-
riably plan their homes to suit
the natural background and to-
Biography rather than dig a half
basement and put the excavated
dirt about the walls, as many
otherwise attractive homes have
been constructed.
Now that the modernization
loan section Of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration has made its
initial click, all hands are turn
ing to the development of the
other main feature of the houS-
ing act, which is to have revolu-
tionary effect on home building
and financing-the mutual mort
gage insurance plan.
No more will the home owner
groan under the burden Of bonus
ing home loan nor will he worry
over amortization every three
years, usually at the time when
he is short of funds.
From all reports, Mr.. Moffett
and his staff are preparing to
wage a war to the death on the
three-year trust, and when the
plan becomes effective, it will be
possible for every home to be re-
financed under the systems long
term amortization provisions.
Speculative builders, however,
look askance at the plan, for it
leaves no speculative margin.
They have the remedy in their
own hands, according to the Gov
eminent experts. All they have
to do is to obtain an initial pay
ment commensurate with the sale
value of the property and leave
the balance to be paid off in the
insured mortgage.
Such a plan, it is said, will still
give the builder a fair margin OF
profit and at the same time dis
courage inflated appraisals which
largely contributed to the de-
pressed real estate market in the
past few years.

RETIREMENT AID
DENIED FOWLER.

Commissioner Hazen indicated
plainly today that the Board of
Commissioners would not recon-
mend to President Roosevelt that
the term of office Of Health Of
ficer William C. Fowler be ex-
tended beyond November IA, the
date on which he would be auto
matically retired for age.
DR.. Fowler sent to the White
House through the Commissioners
a few weeks ago a request that his
term be extended.
Commissioner Hazen said that
the Commissioners would be re-
luctant to urge the extension Of
DR.. Fowler's term in view Of the
attitude of the President in the
similar case of Harry o. Hine, sec
rotary of the Board Of Education.
Mr.. Hine asked for an extension
of term and was denied by the
President.
