Gov. Long Summons
Special Session Of
Legislature
Repeal Of Sales Tox
Among 1S Proposals
To Be Considered
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 20.-~
Gov. Earl K. Long copied the SEN
sationalism of his late brother,
Huey, in sunmoning the Louisiana
Legislature into special session to-
day as he battled to continue the
old regime in power.
Gov. Longs move came suddenly
after the forces Of Attorney Sam
Jones Of Lake Charles, second to
Gov. Long in Tuesdays guberna-
torial primary, were strengthened
for the run-of1 election February
20 by the support Of State Senator
James A. Noe, who polled q sub
stantial vote to run third.
The Governor signed the call
for the extraordinary session q few
minutes before midnight, summon
ing the legislators to convene this
afternoon for six days to consider
Is specific proposals.
Among the proposals were sug-
gestions to repeal number of the
dictator" laws Huey had enacted
at rapid-flre special sessions In 1894
and 1885 and others described by
his opponents as last-minute at
tempts to get votes in the second
primary.
Among Gov. Longs proposals to
the Legislature were repeal of the
1-cent sales tax, opening of State
Bond and Tax Board records. sep
arate million dollar appropriations
for lunches for needy school chill
dren and for social work purposes
and authorization Of appropriations
for unspecified public purposes"
Repeal of two of Huey P. Longs
dictator" laws was suggested. One
prevents sheriffs, in certain cases.
from appointing their own depu-
ties. The other allows the Cover
nor to appoint as many members
OF the East Baton Rouge Parish
(Baton Rouge police jury as there
are members elected. It was
through this law that Huey gained
control of the capital city govern
ment.
Gov. Long allowed himself one
day more than Huey to push his
program through the Legislature.
Huey, at most Of his many special
sessions, completed the law-making
in five days, the minimum time for
enacting a law.
Virtually complete returns gave
Gov. Long 204,901 votes, Mr.. Jones
l38,958, and Mr.. Noe 104,265. Two
other candidates votes totaled 49,
600.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Republcan

ern States will meet here tomorrow

ton which Chairman A. K. Stiles Of
Illinois said would "have the sup
port Of all Republican leaders,"

Mr.. Roosevelt disclosed at another
point that he had read John Stein

the story of the mass migration Of
agricultural workers from the dust
bowl to California.
Referring to the Columbia Basin
development, which is to be irri-
gated from Grand Coulee Dam after
1912, the President said, II would
like to see Columbia Basin devoted
to the care of 100000 members of
grapes of wrath.'"
Mr.. Roosevelt observed that he
had been saying for years that one
third Of the Nation was ill-housed,
ill-clothed, and ill-fed, and added
that he had been criticized for do
ing so.

and you people have sustained me

that we are going to improve, and
why shouldn't we," he said.
Wants 1t on Front Pare.
Referring to what he said was
the failure of many school district
and States to "even pay for good
schools" the President declared:
Il would like to put on the front
page of every newspaper in the
United States the most backward
school districts and the most back
ward school States"
That's rough treatment" he
said, but he added that such ad-
vertising would get understanding
and sympathy for those areas in
the solution of their problems.
The President referred to the
fact, somewhat humorously, that he
was having difficulties with Con-
gress, which this week eliminated
three White House agencies from
the independent offices bill.
"And think I'm going to win
out" the President said with q
smile.

worth while use Of leisure. I
agree with you that a democratic
government has vital interest in
these matters. I am glad that
you have suggested a national
commission, under private aus
pices, to study leisure-time needs
and recreational resources.
More than IN any previous
decade, we know how to safe
guard the health of parents and
children. Because of the advance
of medical knowledge and the
growth of public health work, we
have it in our power to conquer
many diseases and to promote
good health.
New opportunities mean new
duties. 1t was one thing to let
people sicken and die when we
were helpless to protect them. It
is now quite another thing to
leave large portion of our popu-
lation without care. It is my
definite hope that within the next
10 years every part of the coun-
try will have complete service
for all women during maternity
and for all newborn infants.
So. too, good nutrition is the
basis OF child health. I am in
sympathy with your suggestion
that appoint national nutri-
ton committee to review our
present knowledge and co-ordi-
nate our efforts, looking toward
the development of nutrition
policies based on the newest and
best knowledge.
You have charted course for
10 years or more ahead. Never
theless, the steps we take today
will determine how far we can
go tomorrow, and in what direc-
ton.
I believe with you that If any,
where in the country any child
lacks opportunity for home life,
health protection, education, or
moral and spiritual development,
the strength of the Nation and
its ability to cherish and advance
the principles of democracy are
thereby weakened.
ask all our fellow citizens who
are within the sound Of my voice
to consider themselves identified
with the work OF this conference
I ask you all to study and to dis
cuss with friends and neighbors
the program it has outlined, and
how its objectives can be realized.
May the security and happiness
OF every boy and girl in our land
be our concern, our personal con-
cern, from now on.

A further battle also is expected
as the session progresses over resto-
ration of funds for three executive
agencies which the House has taken
steps to eliminate from the inde-
pendent Offices bill, on the ground
there is no authorization in law for
them. They are the National Re-

Gil of Personnel Administration.

the rigid parliamentary rules apply
ing to general appropriation bills,
Senator Adams, who handles relief
bills, said:
"They do not belong there. The
relief bill is not a court of appeals"
It is possible that when the in
dependent Offices bill is taken up
in Senate subcommittees soon, an
immediate effort may be made to
restore funds for these agencies by
restoring the House cuts.
Democrats Plan Fight.
Meanwhile the House Democratic
leadership gave indications that it
would fight Republican efforts to
kill all contract authorizations in
money bills.
Representative Taber, Democrat,
Of New York succeeded in knocking
out Of the independent offices meas
ure an authorization for the Mari
time Commission to contract to
spend $150,000,0O0 for new ships in
advance of actual appropriations.
Speaker Bankhead told reporters
he did not think similar action would
be taken on $186, $50 900 in contract
authorizations for the Army and
Navy which will be considered by
the House later.
Mr.. Benkhead did not say what
tactics would be used to thwart Mr..
Taber, who announced a general
campaign against all such authori-
cations.

ADVICE FROM EXPERTS

lands, only to have these farms turn
out to be oil lands. The Antrim farm,
which has paid the owner $50, 100000 in
royalties thus far, is an example. The
Lander farm, which has paid royalty
owners S1SO,OOO.OO is another example,
and many others could be named.
William YuncI5, Out Bank druggist, set
out to Systematically buy lands north
of Gut Bank, not becase he wanted
farm land but because he believed that
it is oil land. His royalties have thus
far paid over $97,OOO.OO.
1t is possible to buy lands on well de-
fined structures which are capable of
trapping deposits of oil and gas. 1t is
possible to buy them the basis of
the SURFACE value, with no cOnsidera-
ton for the mineral value.
Recently we bought farm that is
positively oil land. We figured up what
it cost the homesteader to ''prove up
ON the land. The hOmesteader had no
idea it was oil land. We bought it only
for the reason that we believed that 1t
is oil land.
This field of investment does not end
with the man who has thousands of dol
lars to invest, as might be required TO
buy a piece Of land in fee simple. If
32O-acre farm can be had for $40 an ac-
re that means an investment of $S'2OO,
which is more than the average person
can afford to pay out. However IL two
investors put i'm $1,000 apiece, each Will
have a half interest; four can put IN
$500 apiece; eight can put in $500
aDiece and so on, until the pOcketbook OF
each one can be stretched over an OPP
portunity to participate i'm important
profits, such as is seldom afforded by
Investment in purely agricultural lands.
If the property becomes worth $lOO,OOO
each man profits in the same proportion
as If he had bought the entire farm. 1t
is a matter of cooperative buying.
Since it is the mineral interest that
is the chief desire of the investor. 1T is
possible for him to accomplish the same
thing by the purchase of mineral inter-
ests only. He might buy 1909 OF the
oil rights and his investment is abso-
IuteIy as safe as any Investment In real
estate with the additional factor that tt
is FREE FROM TAXATION-until such
time as the production of oil and gas
begins Under the laws OF Montana, min
eraI interests are taxed only on the
gross yield. So until actual production
begins, there is no tax on investments In
minerals. This is the only investment Oh
which we know with any speculative pos
sibiIities that is free from taxation.
Government monds are tax-free but they
nav only a negligible earning In interest
and IL Is doubtful whether they win con-
tinue to be tax-free for long.
Prosperity is here for those who
know enough to capitalize present
business conditions. The man who
loses the great opportunities afforded
by our American heritage has none to

The butcher, the baker and the candle

in this increased volume of business.
They will make profits, The salaried
man as well as the wage Garner will
have steady incOme-greater, perhaps,
than any time since 1920, when the last
postwar boom ended.
There arc few of us who do not re-
member the events of the triumphant
'twenties." If we had known then what
we know now, many of us would not
have been as hard hit as we were. But
here we have all the marching events
before us a second time.
How many of us will know what to
do in this, second opportunity?
A boom carries with it the certainty of
two things:

end.

we make during the boom but
WHAT WE WILL HAVE WHEN THE
BOOM COMES TO AN END.
are going to have more money to work
with than any time before in the last
decade. Knowing that this condition
will not last forever (as many of us
thought I'm 1929, we are going to try
to have something to show for our hard
work during this period of prosperity.
That is, each one will set up a rigid
rule of saving and investing, proportion
ate to our means.
10 min
savings?
We were told recently about an article
in the Chicago Journal of Commerce
which discussed the attitude of large i'm
surance companies Their eyes are di-
rected toward LANDS.
We did not get a copy of the article
but we were told that the writer said
that insurance companies were sure that
stocks and bonds would depreciate in
value; that industrial investments are
likely to come to a standStill at the
end of the war; that the only positive
security is in the SOURCE OF ALL
NEW WEALTH-LANDS.
If it is the policy of insurance COM
panies to hang onto their land holdings
is it not likewise a good policy for the
individual to adopt?
No matter what happens to the war
industries; no matter what happens 10
stocks and bonds, the world can always
turn to fertile lands for livelihood.
There win doubtless be another great
movement back to the soil as war in
dustries cease and as armies are dis
charged from service. The man who
has his money invested in lands is most
likely to have something to show for
his bOOm-day savings.
AS long as a man is investing In
lands, why should he not go one step
farther and buy lands on oil fields or
potential oil fields? Some of the great
est personal fortunes made In the Mon
tana oil industry have gone to those who
bought land, as an example, In Cut Bank
district. Many of these did so unwilling
". Several mortgage companies were
compelled to foreclose on unwanted
