Senator-Elect Howell Talks : * to B'nai Brith “Chickens Coming Home to j Roost” He Says of “Big In- j tercets” That fought Low- j cr Light Rates. “The chickens are coming horns to roost," said It. B. Howell, United States senator-elect, before a large audience at the open meeting of the B'nal B'rith lodge Thursday night In its hall in the Jewish Community center. The “chickens’' to which Mr. How ell referred are “big interests" and business firms which fought him when he sought to obtain lower light rates. “When we were fighting the Elec-V trie Light company for years in the legislatures, the Chamber of Com merce, the real estate board and large business firms were lined against us," said Mr. Howell. “Bu‘ now when the power company seeks to boost the ‘power’ rates they are fall ing In line." He declared the only way to get cheaper rates from puhltc utilities was to light and keep fighting. He said power lobbyists had been working since election day railing on legis lators throughout the state. Talking about the British debt, Mr. Howell told how Great Britain and the United States emerged with tre mendous increase of national debts. ^^“The most amazing thing.” said ^T\Ir. Howell, "in regard to the Brit ish debt is that the war was hardly over when the peace conference was called and propaganda started for the cancellation of our debt." Great Britain, he said, made great progress with this propaganda with the help of “hig eastern interests.” “Great Britain,” he further states, “ought never to ask of us to pay less Interest on their debt than we paid on our Liberty bonds.

Jf ord View of *Laddie Boy' With Tin Can on His Tail j Stops Debate in House j Washington, Feb. 16.—Mental pic tures of ‘•Laddie Boy" running around the White House with a tin can attached to his tail touched the funny hone of the house yesterday to such an extent that business was stopped for a few minutes.
