The Interests of High Finance

We've opened up night schools to educate the adult illiterate. We have paved the highways. ... We have built a new capitol. We have taken the insane out of the jail cells and placed them in modern institutions. We have eliminated barbarism. ... And now, the corporate element of this state ... who profited by, who ransacked this state ... are being told what they can do, what they can't do, what they will pay, what they can't keep from paying for the welfare of the people of Louisiana and we expect to have this state ruled by the people and not by the lords and the interests of high finance.
