Cotton produced and offered
for sale in excess of specified
quotas within the 100000 bale
figure, would be subject to a max
imum tax of rs per cent of it's
market value or a minimum levy
of eight cents a pound. The house
bill recommended maximum tax
of SO per cent and q minimum Of
cents per pound.
Before passage of the bill, Sem
ator Alben w. Barley. Democrat
of Kentucky, expressed doubt
that the experiment would sue

the measure with sail my fingers

P. Gore, Democrat of Oklahoma,
said cotton farmers who support
ed the proposal were winding a
boa-constrictor around their
necks."
Administration authorities will
watch the experiment on compul-
sorry reduction with one of the ma
tons major crops before propos-
ing similar regulations for other
commodities. Meantime, Wallace
said the agricultural administra-
ton would continue its campaign
to encourage voluntary reduction
in other crops, '
Opponents of the Bankhead bill
call it a first step toward the
RECOMMENDATION of all agricul-
ture." Some have questioned its
constitutionality.
The chief difference between
the cotton farmers position with
regard to the 1924 crop and
the position to be established for
the '1934-35 crop if the bill be-
comes law lies in two points:
1. Under the present plan,
crop limitation is voluntary in
theory though growers who do not
sign contracts pledging limitation
cannot participate in benefit pay
ments from the processing tax.
2. At present limitation is by
acreage, putting a premium on
intensive cultivation. The new
plan, with the limit by bales as
sures definite limit on the crop.
Party leaders. routed by rebel
lious Democrats on overriding the
presidents veto on the indepen-
dent offices bill, had firm grip
yesterday on the majority both in
the senate on the Bankhead bill
and in the house on the tariff bill.
A committee amendment for
bidding the president to use his
new powers to cancel or reduce
war debts, was adopted.
The bill, as passed by the
house, authorizes the president to
raise or lower existing tariffs a
maximum of so per cent in the
negotiation of reciprocal trade
pacts with other nations. He also
is empowered to remove articles
from the free list.
Reciprocal trade agreements
negotiated by the president are
not subject to senatorial sanction,
as all treaties are today. This sur
render of additional congressional
power was fought bitterly in the
house and is expected to produce
protracted debate in the senate.
