pared to pass the bills and send

When the teacher patronage" bill

sketchily explained that 1t merely
gave the state budget committee
power to compel parishes to allow
children from other parishes to at
tend their schools.

budget committee supervision OF
the appointment OF all school

That committee Is composed OF
Gov. o. X. Allen. State Superin-
tendent OF Education T. II. Harris
and State Treasurer j. s. Cave. all

much dynamite. A number pres

Der primary. which Longs forces
won.

For the third time this year Long
raised the corporation franchise
tax to bring in a half million dol
lars in added revenue with which
he plans TO establish schools OF
dentistry and pharmacy at New
