 Long. Long virtually dictated his every public movement. He brought him into the public eye and conse- quently felt htat Allen was the man he could trust to carry out his or- ders. It was said that Long carried Aliens resignation in his pocket.
 Good Politician
 Judged by usual standards, Allen was Q successful politician. He never was beaten in Q race for pulp lic office but he never sought the same office twice.
 Allen was born on q farm five miles north from Winnifleld, La., on August 6. 1882. He was the oldest of four children of Baptist preacli- er-farmer. His early life was filled with the hard knocks and long la- bor commonly attributed to every man who attains the public eye.
 He started to school in 1888, walk ing three miles through the pine woods to attend . log school house at Lemonde, La, which was oper- etcd six weeks each summer. He next attended Union church school, the Big Springs church school and in 1898 was enrolled in school nt Winnfield. Tn 1897 he was award- cd e teaching certificate at IS. He was too young, however, to teach and 50 returned to farming.
 Became Teacher
 Tn 1904, he got . commission to teach at the Fellowship school where he was paid s32.60 . month. He drew this salary for eight months and saved enough to attend the Springfield, Mo-, normal school. The next year he returned to Louisiana and resumed teaching. He saved enough again to buy 8 small saw.mill which operated on Q part.tine basis.
 Back to school he went in 1908 to Trinity college ct Waxahachie. Texas. He left the teaching pro- feSsion in 1911 and entered cone tracing work. This spring he tnar- ried Florence Love, of Paris, Tex.
 In ioi6 he entered politics, wins ming the post of assessor of Winn Parish. Long supported him and aided his election. Allen reciprocat- cd by financing Longs first race for election to Louisiana public service commission. Allen moved Up with Long and in 1928 was elected to the state senate. Later that year, ct Longs insistence he became chair man of the highway commission. When Long, ran for the senate, Ale fen was his choice as governor to succeed him and once more, the farmer boy from Winnfleld rode into office on Longs coat-tails.

investment, except in cases Of urgent need.
 But the complicated machinery of paying was simple compared to the question of how congress Is going to get the money out of the public pocketbook to finance expenditure.
 New tax proposals were considered certain. But congress with an eye on election wants the initiative to come from the White House. Presi- dent Roosevelt already has experts drafting new taxation to finance whatever farm program is adopted
 Congress probably would refuse to authorize payment of the bonus in printing press money. But despite efforts to persuade veterans not to cash their bonds immediately after June IS Q large part of the money must be provided in one way or afl- other. If 1t is not paid by taxes or imitation, 1t must be added to the national debt.
 Some Tax Resources
 Tax resources from which some or all of the funds could be obtained, include:
 New inheritance taxes, which the treasury was understood to be cof,- sidering on the theory that collee- tons could Do kept separate to apply against the national debt.
 Higher income taxes as favored and likely to be proposed again. by Senator Robert La Toilette.
 Increased corporation taxes.
 Excise taxes, either Ag Q sales tax on retail sales or on manufacturers.
 It was pointed out that the method and the amount Of taxation necessary will depend entirely on the nations busineess and that on the basis of 1928 business, the pres- ent tax structure would produce some S8O00, 100000 as compared to the 9b, ,10i, 100000 estimated for the 1887 fiscal year, without counting processing taxes.
 There was believed to be another reason why congressional leaders would prefer to avoid any tax Dill to pay the bonus. It was under stood that Townsend plan advo- cates were planning on attempt to attach their plan to any tax bill inc troduced. Leaders hope to avoid 2 test on the Townsend plan aS long as possible.

The league has members in all states and preparations in 20 - most of which have offices for pub- Jicity and other purposes.
 The organization hasn't lobbied yet except through propaganda pressurc--which may have helped in modification of the 1885 banking act, slight modification of holding company legislation, and suppress sion to date of the 30-hour week bill.
 The league Tesents charges that it Is the instrument of vested inc teresw or "entTencbed greed" since it campaigns for govern. Inent by Iaw rather than men," preservation of the present cOnsti- tuti0nal form of government, curb on presidential power and on the congressional delegation of such power.
 It has received many lettera from farmers, gtorekeepers, and other small business men and likes tO point out that e3b,000 of it's 1e3H money came in dribletg of less than eiOO. Nevertheless, the league ia controlled by representatives of Q tFenlendous aggregation of wealth-- once estimated as at least e37,000,- 0OO,O00 in industriaI and financial assets.

 Calls Witness "Dog"
 Varanelli characterized the states principal witness, Eva Schroder, of New York, who testified last Thurs day that Varanelli had brought her here from New York, as c "dog." He denied that he had been fin New York the night of December n or the morning of December 18th, and said that he had gone to the home 1 of Frank Barrone ct 68 Pond street to visit when the police raided the place.
 As soon as Q verdict has been reached in the Varanelli case, Frank Barrone, alias Carmen Raucci, who has pleaded guilty to the same charge, will be sentenced. Raucci took the stand early this afternoon as Q defense witness.
 Refutes Mattresses Mrs. Schroeder and Louis Cullen, captain of walters in Q New York club. testified Thursday that Var anelli was in New York the night of Dec. l1th and the morning of Dec. 18th. Varanelli said this morn ing that he was in Waterbury, Miildale and Marion at the time.
 Under cross examination he said that he knew Sadie Moses, formerly of 3 Vine street, and Anna sirikka, formerly of 68 Canal street, who were characterized by the state as keepers of houses of i'll fame, War; anelli claimed that he saw Eva Schroeder some months ago and that time she was residing in Sadie Moses place at 3 Vine street.

Raising Money to Fight New Deal Is Easy for Liberty League Operates Like a Political Party, Keeps Up Constant Barrage at Ideas of F. R. Sh0use Aided by Able Staff Motto Likely to Be Anybody to Beat Roosevelt"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-28

Washington, Jan. 27-The Ameri- can Liberty league raised and spent more money last year than did the republican party and almost as much as the democratic party.
 Tn many respects the league is O political party. You begin to sense that when you go into the National Press Club building here in Wash- ington and you see President Jouett 0laouse's name on the door of Room lO00--which, with Q couple of dozen contiguous office rooms, is league Headquarters.
 Until June, 1o32, that space hous- ed tho democratic national commit- tec and Shouse, who still has his same old desk, was In charge. His secretary of those days, Miss Carey, still guards the Shouse door.
 Propaganda is the leagues chief mission and from the same old Of- Aces ShOuse directs Q constant fire lat the New Deal in somewhat the same manner that he and Charlie Nicholson once plastered Prcsi- dent Hoover.
 Times have changed. Big shot democrats of those days--John w. Davis, Al Smith, Joe Ely of Massa- ohusetts, and former Governor Al- bert Ritchie of Maryland--are now big shot Liberty leaguers.

Money Easy to Raise

The leagues financial support comes in the same way as that ot political parties, but 1t seems to come easier. The organization re- ceived S483,000 in contributions and loans in 1885 and spent $300,000 There's no fund-raising staff and no need of $50-a-plate Jackson Day dinners.
 The leagues founders are very wealthy and when Wall Streets Grayson M..P. Murphy league treasurer, puts the bee on . du Font, E. T. Weir, Edward Y. Hut. ton, Alfred Sloan of General Mo- tors, or !. Howard Pew of Sun On, Che boys kick in checrfully.
 Of course the league has en. doFSed no political candidates as yet nor entered any in an election, 50 no one knows whether It's popular strength begins to compare with It's financial strength.
 There are no dues and member shjD is free unless you elect to join up as q contributing mem ber," yet the organizations mailing list nothing to Bnoeze at--containS few more than 100000 names.
 The fact is that the league hasn't had any membership drive, because it figures it's much more important to get It's ideas across. And 0,0O0 applications--with checks -- poured ifi for the 2,000 seat dinner, with Al Smiths speech as It's main at- traction.

that would reach every person and in
wade every home.
Under II a doctor no longer could
make a night call, no matter what the
circumstance; if he performed an emer-
gency operation or set a broken bone
after his eight-hour day was completed
he would be in violation of the law. A
lawyer could not work on a brief in
the evening or a merchant examine his
books. The corner grocer, the country
st~orekeeper, the one-man roadside fill
ing station would have to quit at the
end of eight hours. So would the drug
gist, the dairyman and the boot-black,
whether he worked alone or hired help.
Even the housewife, whose day, ira
ditionally, is never DONE" would come
under the new prohibition. If she served
a seven o'clock breakfast for her family
she would have to get supper over and
the dishes washed by 3 o'clock in the
afternoon to avoid breaking the law.
And she couldn't do the family mend
ing in the evening; that Undertaking.
would have to be performed in her
eight-hour day.
The second provision of the proposed
amendment is no less far-reaching and
doubtless is equally wide of the pur-
pose of its authors. They probably
intended to give the Legislature au-
thority to reduce working hours in
some particular industries as the OPEN
ing wedge in their campaign for a six
hour day. However, as in the first
sub : division, the language employed
makes the provision general.
Under such an enactment, the six
hour day would have to apply to "all
industries, occupations and undertake
ings," with the exception of farming
and stock-raising. It would affect the
same individuals as the proposed eight
hour regulation, but would have the
added complication of an even shorter
day for all.

HELENA.-The most important pro-
posal which Montana voters will pass
upon at the November 3 election has
had the least publicity. 1t is the double
barreled plan to impose a shorter work
day upon all citizens except those en-
gagged in farming and s~tock-raising, and
to pave the way for legislative enact
ment of a six-hour day. Although its
all-embracing scope would affect every
person in the state. there has been little
public discussion Of il, and the average
voter is only vaguely aware that it will
appear on the ballot.
The far-reaching proposition comes
before the electorate in the form of>an
amendment to Section 4, Article XVIII
of the State Constitution. 1t reads as
follows:
Section 4. A period of eight hours
shall constitute a days work in all in
dustries, occupations, undertakings and
employments, except farming and stock
raising; provided, however, that the
Legislative Assembly may by law re-
duce the number Oh hours constituting
a days work whenever in its opinion a
reduction will better promote the gen.
eral welfare, cut it shall have no au-
thority to increase the number of hours
constituting a days work beyond that
herein provided
Quite likely il was the intention of
the trainers OF the amendment to apply
the eight = hour clause only to such
industries ard businesses as employ
workers and are not covered by Mon
tana's present labor statutes. But the
language used goes far beyond that
limitation. 1t would extend the regu-
lation to "all industries, occupations,
undertakings and employments," save
only the two exceptions, and so apply
it to individuals in every walk of life.
1t contemplates a limitation of activity
