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.
Representative McLafferty, repub- !
lican, California, made the sugges- !
tinn that such a degradation of the j
aristocrat of the canine world and the I
official presidential dog was not im
possible. During debate on the navy
omnibus bill, Representative Blanton,
democrat. Texas, said the marine 1
band was S •‘society band"' which
spent its time playing at the White
House and nt "high social functions.” ,
Mr. McLafferty interrupted to ask if |
to
at
the degree where it would consist of
Laddie Boy dashing madly about a |
tew inches in advance of a tomato 1
can.
Democratic members who ow n dogs
of democratic leanings, roared ap- !
proval of the idea, but when the de- j
bate had ended, continued function- [
ing of the marine band was assured, !
wilh a consequent lessening of the
possibility of harassment of Laddie
Boy.
