The Senate approved $827 million for open military camps for homeless and jobless youths, while Benatar Couzens and Reed discussed camp plans and a $5,000,000 initial allotment for transients aged 15 to 21, subject to House and Hoover approval.

Austin Feb 14 The Texas House taxation committee heard arguments on replacing property tax with a sales tax to raise 45 million for state government.

Mayors and legislators like C M Chambers and George Parkhouse urged careful design, with some proposing revenue shares to cities counties and schools and a 2 percent rate similar to Mississippi law.

Huey Long Brother Testifies On Split Over Overton Fight
Karl Long, brother of Senator Huey P. Long, testified before a senate committee that he broke with his brother after the letter joined the Walmealay gang in New Orleans and began drafting the new capital building at Baton Rouge. He said they were two years apart, grew up together, and were close until about two years ago. He alleged Governor Long backed O. K. Allen for governor because he could not control Overton, and that Huey Long tried to back John B. Fournet before switching to Allen, claiming Allen would have supported a black candidate if on the ticket.
