...time the check arrived, Pearl had made some resolutions, had theadvice of long-armed Negro Lawyer Raymond Pace Alexander. They ducked well-wishers, salesmen, and returned $2,133.90 to the County Relief Board. They paid their debts, set aside $57,588 for income tax, redeemed the precious things they had pawned. Then they drew a deep breath and cautiously began to acquire a few of the things which, in their wildest moments, they had dreamed about. Pearl got her new home ($3,000) and furniture. Ben got a Packard; Frances, 10, the whole set of Wizard of Oz books...

He reserved State advertising, State printing for papers that backed his cause-including Louisiana Progress, which he owned himself. Once he tried to tax every daily in Louisiana out of existence, but the U. S. Supreme Court held his act unconstitutional...

One big complaint is against the tremendous rise in taxes and wages which they have to pay. In 1916 taxes took 4.4% of gross operating revenues.
