B. SMITH The Stato of Louisiana is a state notorious for laughter, fun, fine foodr Creole belles|and twenty-five cent cigarettes, thirty-cent-a-gal- lon gasoline and Huey P. Long briilgcs. , A i When Huey P. Long’s career was cut short, the people of Louisiana sighed relief, thanked God, and then elected his son to Congress and his brother to the Governor’s office. Russell Long, the Kingfish’s brother has ndt ‘resorted to the more spectacular feats of graft or power politics, but he does lay the s old tax hand Ion with unlcntihg Insure and doesn’t bother to shnHUHe’s going “to get Louisiana out or. the red? and loose pocket change too, apparently. The people of Louisiana are naturally right eously indignant; “The set-up is scandalous,” th'«$y scream. Further-, move, no' one voted for Rusaell, nor fpr Huey Jr. either. ; 1 Very mysterious -it all seems; i that these men were elected when “ho one” voted for them. The state of Louisiana has bectinie the laugh- ingLstock of the country as far as state’s government goes. ' Sorpe Louisianaians remember the time that the Ringling Bros' Circus was clue to play, in Baton ir ' Rouge .It also seems that Huey’s pet plaything,'the LSI’ football team, was due to engage Rice former the if ingftsh that he had made all his arrangements weeks in advance at d absolutely nothing could be don ? about the • matter. Long told R ngling then that he had just toy *<i with the idea of passing a tic! law which would re quire all anitti ils;.entering the state to l»e dipped land quarantined for two weeks. r lfie. idea of dipping a thousand poufids of snarling tiger at a dip ma le ian impression on Ringling/ Th( circus consequently made other t nangements. , There is ai; o the time that Sen ator Long wi nted his “boys and girls,” the University student body to go . to Go irgia to see a bull game. FurtI crjnore, he wanted them to go t nri less than $10 a head. The ia|roads screamed im possible. Hum-; just smiled and prepared to prfcs a bill which levied a duty on the railroads everytime they crossed 1 bridge in the state. The railroads somehow found a way to carry the students (and the loss). , AS has bee i mentioned before. Huey’s low f^r the LSI’ ball club was unbounded. He’d do any thing for th<i boys. He even ran one of them tfbr the state legis lature. a i . 1 The South jjnpw faces not just a corrupt governor in a nearly statg, nor juft', a corrupt .United States Senate j*,'but a Combination tape” at! its . worst, you haven’t been around the French.

Now the circus is all right; Huey loved cotton candy, but—itithe cir cus played the same night ' the football boys did, all the good Ba ton 1 Rouge people might not get to see the ball game (and bright not get to pay the attached fee tor witnessing the event.) <r Consequently, Long phoned John Ripgling and told him that his cir cus' would have to amuse and err- tegtain another night.
