What Will Woman Put Into Power

By JOSEPH ". LE BLANC
Central Press Correspondent


BATON ROUGE, Sept. 20. -
Guardian supreme Of the Louisiana
treasury. young Mrs. Alice Lee Gros-
Jean Tharpe today IL one Of the
most powerful figures In the back
ground Of the confusion Of Louisiana
politics. Whether she win retain
her position or be consigned to the
political graveyard. rests solely In
her own hands and possibly IN the
hands OF the governor Of the state.
Oscar X. Allen.
Her position, that OF supervisor of
public accounts Is powerful and uni
que,
The office Of supervisor or public
accounts was created by the late
Senator Huey p. Long 10 assure the
state OF a more centralized system OF
finance. TO handle more efficiently
the 30 or more per cent increase OF
taxation In Louisiana
A Woman Supreme
The office Is the most powerful in
the state financially. that OF the gov
ernor being no exception. Those &c
counts coming under the control OF
the governor must also be directly
under the supervision OF Mrs.
Tharpe. The governors sole power
over her lies In the fact that he may
remove her from office, with certain
restrictions.
Mrs. Tharpe's strongest Joker In
the political deck Is that she Is her
own auditor. Under Senator Longs
original design, her accounts would
have been audited by q private firm
but. through the turmoil Of special
sessions, no appropriation was made
by the legislature to provide for that
accounting.
Her accounts include gasoline ur-
taxes, tobacco. liquor and all fines
for tax bootleggers. From the oc-
cupational license tax alone. her Of
fees derive q revenue Of nearly q
quarter Of q million Q year. Half OF
the state OF Louisiana's revenue for
this year alone amounts 70 e22,000,-
000-every cent OF which Is under
Mrs. Tharpe's exclusive control.
May Get Another Job
In some political quarters or the
Long camp, there Is an opinion cir
culating that Mrs. Tharpe's position
should be given TO Earl Long, q
brother OF the late senator. and that
Mrs. Tharpe should be placed In
some lesser post In the state set-up.
It Is understood. however. that this
change would not be made until O
position could be found which would
be satisfactory 70 Mrs. Tharpe-
Should she demand a lions share
OF the spells OF the Huey Long die
tatorship, however. Il Is extremely
doubtful whether she could be de-
MED by any OF the other Long leu
tenants. due to the extensive finan-
cial backing afforded her by her
office.
IN addition, her staff Of seven de-
partmentS, each branching out into
several other lesser divisions. places

The recent message of President
Roosevelt in which he advocated
higher inheritance and income taxes
is an outstanding development in a
long struggle for this type of legisla-
ton.
The President advocated:
1. High inheritance, and gift taxes,
the money to be used in reducing
the national debt.
2. A constitutional amendment to
eliminate tax exempt bonds and Sc
curities.
3. Taxes to eliminate unnecessary
holding companies in all lines of
business.
4. Increased income taxes on large
individual and corporation income S
and taxes to discourage unwieldy
and unnecessary corr crate sur
pluses.
Although many people regard these
proposals as new development, the

OBSERVATIONS
By Cong. ELMER ]. RYAN

The Senate set precedent on June
year old Senator-elect, from West Vir-
ginia. Never before has a Senator,
elected under the age limit, and
whose election was contested, been
seated by the Senate.
Only one Senator, Henry Clay, who
later became candidate for Pres
ident, had ever been seated under the
age limit and it is reported that he
was only one month under thirty
years of age and no one contested his
being seated.
Senator Holt was elected in the
general election last November when
Twenty-Five years and six months old,
and while he has been in Washington
since the session opened, he had new
er presented his certificate of election
until June Goth, the day he reached
his thirtieth birthday
Those opposed to Holt being seated
as a member of the Senate contended
that he was not legally elected due to
the fact he was ineligible to serve
when elected. Those supporting him
stated that they had no official notice
of his election until he presented his
certificate of election on June goth,
at which time he had attained the
proper age to become a member of
the U. S. Senate.
After two days of debate, by vote
of 81 to II, he was granted his seat
and was Immediately sworn in by
Vice President Garner.

On Wednesday, June 10, the Senate
passed the Social Security bill. This
was similar to the bill passed by the
House on April 10. The Senate added
numerous amendments and the bill
was referred to a conference commit
tee of House and Senate members, and
it is expected that the bill will come
up for final passage in both Houses in
the very near future.
The bill, as passed by the House.
provided for various grants-in-aid to
the states to establish a system of
federal old age benefits and to enable
the states to make a more adequate
provision for aged persons, dependent
and crippled children, maternal and
child welfare, public health and the
administration of our unemployment
compensation laws, the establishment
of Social Security Board and to raise
the necessary revenue to administer
the provisions of the act.
The bill provides for a system of
taxation to begin July 1. 1887, and
payments will be made under this act
in 1912 to people who have reached
the age of sixty-five years.
One important amendment added by
the Senate authorizes employers who
have in operation a plan providing
for annuities to employees which is
certified by the Social Security Board
to continue under such a plan. This
amendment has caused a great deal of
discussion between members of both
Houses.
Several months ago a committee on
economic security was appointed by
the President to study the entire prob
lem and to make recommendations
which might serve as the basis for
consideration of legislation by the
present Congress.
The committee was composed of the
Treasury, the Attorney General, Sec
rotary of Agriculture, and the Federal
Emergency Relief Administrator. This
committe was assisted by a staff of
specialists and fourteen advisory
groups, representative of every in
terest concerned with the problems
of economic security, including cap
ital. labor, and the general public
The committee made unanimous re-
port TO the President in January of
this year and these recommendation
were Incorporated in H. r. APO on
which the Ways and Means committee
held extensive hearings, and at which
over one thousand pages of testimony
were taken. Since the conclusion of
