Once man SHIRTS thinking be may
become President of the United States.
something very curious happens to his
mental process.
1t Is proyerbial that this applies to
bis own estimates of his chances for
success. Especially after he is nom
mated Men who Travelled on the train
with James NJ. Cox In 1920 know that
Cox thought he had an excellent
chance, right up To the last, though
the Harding landslide was overwhelm-
Ing. BUT he was not alone In this.
Many others on that Cox train thought
so too, including some pretty hard
boiled newspaper men. Perhaps the
answer to this sort of thing Is that
people meeting celebrity Of any sort,
and certainly a man who just may be-
come President, do not rack their
brains to say disagreeable things They
like to say things that the man will
remember pleasantly.
But this Is not all the picture of
what happens to potential candi-
data man who thinks the lightning
may strike him.

sire the Republican nomination are 90

Washington.-Wn congress Is on
the administrators hands, the courts
are still on the Job. and the lombard
ment of New Deal policies along the
constitutional front may be expected
TO continue.
In this connection, AAA officials are
confident that, with the new amend
ments just passed by congress, the
processing taxes will be upheld. They
think the objections which lower
courts have found TO the old process
Ing taxes. and which lawyers generally
believe will be found by the Supreme
court, have been avoided.
Hence the AAa intends to do every
thing possible to produce a court test
of the new processing taxes just as
speedily as possible. AAA officials say
privately that they have already picked
the case on which TO make the battle.
1t Is that Of the Hoosac Mills.
Washington lawyers who, no matter
what their speciality always figure that
they are experts on what the Supreme
court may do, and who certainly are
more interested In the court than In
what might be called the chores of the
profession are divided as to what will
be the outcome.
Three possibilities. they admit, are
open. The first Is for the high court
| to throw the whole business out the
window, holding that the assessment
OF such excise taxes Is beyond the
| power of congress, In that these taxes
are for a particular purpose and not
for the general need OF the govern
ment, and that they are not Intended
| to produce revenue, but to achieve q
| desired price level
| In this case the AAA would have
| nowhere to turn, but there Is little
| doubt what the administration would
do. It would continue to pay farm
| benefits, and In January 1t would ask
| congress to levy special taxes to pro
vide the additional revenue needed.
Or the court might, as AAA officials
believe 1t will. uphold the whole bust
ness, which would settle the question
for the time beng-probably unit
after the next election, anyhow.

Another Possibility

But there Is another possibility The
high court may decide that the proc
essing taxes as fixed In the law are
all right, but that the formula for
changing them as agricultural prices
approach parity is an unconstitutional
delegation of power.
Most lawyers agree that the injec-
| tion of this formula for changing
! the taxes as the prices OF products
change was a grave mistake by those
| desiring to avoid having the court
| throw the taxes out. For they con-
| tend that beyond any doubt the lnclu-
sion Of this formula proves that the
taxes are not In fact excise taxes,
| levied for revenue; that 1t proves the
| only object OF the taxes Is TO bring
better prices for the farmer.
Now everybody knows that this was
the real object. There Is no question
about that. The only question Is
whether congress has the right to levy
internal taxes for such a purpose.

SURVEY BEING MADE OF
PASTURE, HAY CROPS

[Confinnsd from First Pagel
to three acres, the total acreage
seeded may be calculated upon this
basis with a reasonable degree Of
accuracy.
The survey for 1885, however, has
not been completed, but It is expect
ed that the acreage seeded to these
crops win remain about the same
this year rs for the past two or three
years, as many farmers have not
been financially able to spend as
much money for field seeds as they
would have spent under more nor
NAL conditions.
II there has been an increase in
this acreage this year, no doubt It
will result from those wheat con-
tract signers whose benefit payments
for reducing their wheat acreage
were used for the purchasing of le-
gume seed along with the buying of
other commodities which have been
greatly needed on their farms. The
participation in these crops adjust
ment contracts with the Agricultur-
oil Adjustment Administration has
offered these farmers an excellent
opportunity to improve the fertility
of their land by the use Of such
crops which may be designated for
this PURPOSE.

CCC CAMP STILL
NEED RECRUITS

The close of the October first-NO-
Vember fifteenth quarterly enlist
ment period, last Friday, finds the
four Delaware Mosquito COntrOl-CCC
camps three-hundred and twenty
men below authorized strength, IL
was announced today by control aIl-
thOrities.
Considering that each enrollee re-
ceives $500. and $25.OO is sent to
his family each month, this means
$500 in potential wages going beg
ging, because 800 men and boys with
families on relief could not be found.
In view of the consequent eurtail-
snent of purchasing of food, supplies,
tools, and work materials, $4,000 IS
estimated by w. 6. Corkran, execu-
tive officer of the mosquito control
commission, as the potential loss to
local store keepers, and hardware
and lumber dealers.
The Federal requirements that
CCC enrOllees be drawn only from
families on relief rolls has been the
limiting factor in these selections.
Since Kent and Sussex counties are
lacking in relief commissions. Miss
Adeline Kall was sent to Delaware
in October as State Director of In
take and CertificatiOn, to investigate
and certify needy families that they
might obtain employment from WPA'
and CCC.
I'VE have worked diligently" she
has stated, ''to interpret the limita-
tions of the program to the needs OF
the two lower counties, and have
certified as many eases as the limit
cd time would permit. A number Of
applications have been received
from boys who are not eligible for
re-enlistment, due to the fact that
they had dishonOrable discharges at
the close Of the former enlistment
period. Many Of the cases that have
applied cannot be accepted because
the parents of the applicant are not
eligible for relief"
There have been no provisions
made for the enrolment Of cOlOred
people, she said. and the large num-
Der Of applications received from
eOiored youths are being held on ME
pending future action,
The number of boys and young
men who actually enter camps are
considerably less than the number
certified as satisfactory for, accord
ing to Miss Kell. many change their
minds before enrolment, several
find other employment, and a large
number fail to pass the physical ex-
animation.
Three other junior CCC camps in
Delaware, two engaged in highland
drainage and one working on the
military preserve at Fort dupont
are understood to also be under
strength, but exact figures are not
available. In view of the fact that
two years ago the relief rolls in the
three counties were Over-crowded'
and CCC appointments at a premium.
