LE ORDEREDJY HUEY State Headed for Govern ment by Blackmail and Extortion Declares Sen ator Foe of the Kingfish BATON ROUGE, I., Dec. (AP) Louisiana 1 designed soon to un dergo a metamorphosis as the result of Huey Long's dictatorship, admin istration proponent and opponents agreed today. There waa a difference of opinion. however, concerning Its projected new form. Said Senator O. D. Davis of La Salle parish : "Before rery long, with the legis lature and this Huey Long, Louisiana la going to show the world we're building up. We're going to come from the frog pond to the south to the flower garden of the world. Foe Speaks Out Said Senator George W. Lester, stern foe of the Kingfish: "If the present railroading of Long continues we are headed for a com plete government by blackmail and extortion, placed In the handa of a modern Nero." Meantime, tut senate sped Long's toward final enactment by sending them to the finance committee, where Long promised he would strike from the parish school bill a provision gtv- lng his dictatorship public school teacher patronage. This "Joker" clause waa revealed In the bill after printed copies had been laid on the desks and waa the object of an attack yes terday by Representative Lester. Final Passage Tomorrow With the whole proceeding aa per functory aa the fixing of a notary's seal, the senate finance committee had. orders to meet at 10 a. m. (C. 8. T.) and approve the bills. There was every prospect that the measures would be stamped "approved" quickly and returned to the senate for final passage tomorrow. With house concurrence In senate amendments a certainty, that will be all the legislature will have to do to enable Long to hang a few more op. position scalps to his belt, control many more Jobs, and further punish hla political enemies. The bills were brought into the senate last night from the house, which passed them so fast that an anti-Long representative declared the voting machine ought to be water cooled. Calls Solons Stooges Lester, Incensed, took the floor In a one-man oratorical display and called his fellow lawmakers "putty faced Stoogea for bowing to the whims and fancies of the dictator on practically every legislative demand he makes." Lester, of New England extraction and a Loulslanan by adoption, Is or dinarily one of the quietest members But, In contrast with his usual re tiring nature, he burst forth In wrath In hla lone attack on the "Kingfish' with one of the most bitter philippics ever delivered In the Louisiana legis lature. Hl n&rlsh. Went Feliciana, has been a hornet's nest of the Long opposl tlon where a year ago an enraged citizenry burned the ballots In Huey Long's congressional "private elec tion and Lester has tenaciously fought Long ever since he took his seat two years ago.

Deo. 19. (JP) Al though Governor-elect Martin yester day denounced a proposed luxury tax. county Judges and commissioners of Oregon today endorsed a resolution favoring such a plan to raise moaey which would be apportioned to the counties for care of tho needy and to cover the present payment of state old-age pensions. There have been report In aeveral quarters that a luxury tax will be proposed to- the Oregon legislature when It meets next month. The 39th annual convention of the Judgea and commissioners also went on record opposing an diversion of the gasoline tax or of liquor control commission profits. The group ap proved a bill which would not com pel counties to reimburse the state for uncollected taxes. Relief administrative problems oc cupied much of the time of the dele gates today. Judge David F. Graham of Malheur county suggested the ad ministrative of all rel.ef be placed within the Jurisdiction of the count? courts. Judge O. S. Chsahlra of Uma tilla county countered with the state ment that "It la government money that Is being spent and the govern ment doesn't want any elective of ficers spending federal funds.' The matter did not come to a vote. Opposition to the so-called "gin marriage law" ana the statute p:o vldlng that mala applicants for mar riage licenses must produce a mel Ical certificate, was voiced by t.e county clerks and recorders of Ore gon, also in session here. This convention argued strong? that these laws do no good, and aim ply drive many couples to other states, particularly Washington, to bo married.
