SLASH IN WHEAT
ACREAGE IN 1896
Is CONTEMPLATED

Washington, July %. - The
farm adjustment administration
today was reported to be cOmsid-
ering sIaAhing 1886 wheat acre
age from Is to 8 percent below
the 'base" acreage.
The final decision hinged upon
the amount of black rust dam
age. Officials said that if the da-
mage proves negligible the acre
age reduction may be as much
as 20 percent. But Chicago today
reported the rust spreading.
A Is to 10 percent reduction
below ''base" acreage-the aver
age of approximately 100000
acres planted by contract sign
ers in the 193O-32 periOd-wOuld
compare with a Is percent cut
in 1884 and 10 percent this year.
Announcement of the reduc-
ton to be required probably will
be made before next Sunday.

which also was a year of light sal

Wheeler Defends Borah
If Administration Attack

Washington, July 80. - The
first rumblings of the 1886 general
elections were heard today in sta
tements by democratic and repub-
lican party chieftains.
Senator William E. Borah, re-
publican, Idaho, figured directly in
the democratic statement and in
directly in a speech by chairman
Henry P. Fletcher of the repub-
lican national committee.
Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, de-
mocrat, Illinois, chairman of the
democratic senatorial committee,
denied reports the new deal would
make strenuous efforts to defeat
Borah for reelection.
Fletcher took up the issue of
constitutionality of new deal mea-
sures, raised recently by Borah
He charged the administration is
looking for a scapegoat because
its policies are failing, and "thinks
it has found it in the constitution.
"This covert, but soon to be opeI
attack on our basic law is ever
more dangerous and menacing thar
the crazy patchwork of laws anC
DEGREES which have gone by tn
name of the new deal" Fletche
said.
Despite denials by Lewis, per
sons claiming to be familiar wit
new deal plans insist a party wa
council was held to discuss Idah
strategy before Postmaster Ger
eral Jmaes A. Farley left on hi
vacation. Evidences of a "bes
Borah" movement will be visibl
within 80 to 60 days, they said
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, d.
mocrat, Montana, anticipating tn
new deal campaign in Idho, alread
has volunteered to go into ldat

e required. Other liberals, includir
o Senator Robert La Toilette, pr

Jurst Declares Says Congress Taxing Power Was
Not Delegated Under Act, as Alleged

Memphis, Tenn, July q. -
Processing taxes are legal under
the welfare clause Of the consti-
tuition, District Federal Judge
John D. Martin has ruled in up
holding the validity of the agri-
cultural adjustment act.
The Judge, in his oral decision,
took cognizance that certain dis
trict judges have pronounced thu
act unconstitutional and the United
States court for the first district,
in 2 70 1 decision, had so held"
but declared that his court feels
free, despite such decisions, to
pronounce independent views.
He held congress has fixed the
products to be taxed under the act,
set up a scale of prices and there
fore did not delegate taxing au-
thority to the secretary of agri-
culture; that it was a tax and not
a revenue measure.
Judge Martins decision dismis-
sed a suit brought by Jacob G.
Lacroix, Memphis packer, to re-
cover $6,863 paid in processing
taxes and denied an injunction to
restrain the government from col
lecting a penalty of $1,267 for fai-
lure to file a return within the
legal time limit. The case is to be
appealed.
He reviewed the background of
the enactment of the law.
"No more serious problem exist

dicament of the farmer. And 90
