(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives } SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER | (Incorporated) | CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON) —<—<—$— Senator Huey Long | Burleigh county electors filled to! cverflowing the auditorium Saturday | night to hear Senator Huey Long, storm center and dictator of Louisiana politics. In addition to all this, he has lately become the “enfant ter- rible” of the most deliberative body in the world. His Bismarck audience cheered all references to Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. They roared at his southern accent and rocked with mirth over some well told stor- ies. Great amplifiers carried his stentorian notes for blocks and crowds gathered about two great sound trucks parked in front of the| city auditorium. It was a glorified Huey Long political rally, transplant-| ed from the cotton fields of the south} to the wind-swept prairies of the north. And how they all enjoyed it! Taking for his model the Norris style of oratory, Senator Long ex- coriated the rich with great vehem- ence and pleaded earnestly for a more equal distribution of wealth through the medium of confiscatory federal taxes. Yet this political evangelist from| the south would permit everyone to retain one million dollars of his year. ly gains and the right to bequeath millions more at his death. There was nothing in this economic plat- form to cause alarm in a North Da-j Ki audience or start a heated argu- ment among the farmers present who | at present price levels cannot think | in terms of thousands not to men- tion the millions and billions which Huey juggled in his attack upon the “predatory rich” and the ruling “plutocratic regime.” He stormed the | fortifications of entrenched wealth| like a stern Cato calling out for the| destruction of Carthage.

Tony gives Fanchon $4,000 and reserves pas- sage for her under the name of “Miss Smith” on an airplane char- tered by the wealthy Mr. Eames en- route to New York. A fellow-pas- senger, whom she had previously met on the boat coming from Hawaii, recognizes Fanchon. She is Evelyn Howard. Evelyn is going to live with the wealthy Mrs. Alli- son Carstairs, an aunt whom she has never seen. Fanchon envies Evelyn flying to happiness, while she is try- ing to escape because she was Tony's girl—Tony, who lied his way through life and whom she had innocently accepted on face value.

At times it was hard to follow Sen- ator ‘ong’s logic relative to the po- tency of federal taxation in accom- plishing an economic millenium where wealth would be divided more equally than now. Unfortunately it does not work out that way in prac- tice. All will heartily agree with him, who are not hide-bound par- tisans, that our taxation system needs as much revision as the tariff laws so that burdens can be lifted from all alike and millions of tax money now squandered by tax eaters be di- verted to productive channels and for the relief of the poor and the Jobless. On the whole, however, Senator Long gave an address that pleased his audience. They ehuckled good humoredly, if they did not always follow his political philosophy which in some respects was vague and de- magogic.
