PROCESS TAXES
CALLED CLASS
WAR PERIL

Foes Of the AAA today turned
to the stirring period VIII e n
the glamorous Marie Antoinette
lost her head for telling hungry
subjects to "eat cake" and to the
sayings Of a fiery former United
States Senator to convince the
United States Supreme Court that
the New Deal farm program is in
valid.
John E. Hughes, Chicago coun.
sci for a group Of candy and nut
companies, in a brief filed with
the court as "a friend said the
French Revolution was caused by
the taxing Of one class to benefit
another.
Glass Warfare Peril
This, he argued, is what the
AAA is doing through processing
taxes. The money, said the brief,
comes from the manufacturer to
help the farmer. If Congress has
this power, it was stated, then the
Constitution Is broad enough to
permit city folk to band together
and tax the farmers.
Then, indeed, will the way be
opened for class warfare and for
the realization Of the peSsimistic
prediction of Macauley based on
the premise that your ConStitu.
ton is all sail and no anchor, "
Hughes said.
John w. Davis, Liberty League
lawyer, and Nathan L. Miller, for
mer governor of New York. filed
briefs in the case Of rice millerS
who are challenging constitution.
ality Of the act. They sought to
prove that New Dealers were
wrong when they contended
that former Senator John C.
Calhoun would be 100 per cent
for the farm program today.
Calhoun Changed Mind
Calhoun, prominent political
figure in the early Nineteenth
century, may have had liberal
views earlier in life but he re,
vised them in his hitherto little
known Discourse on the Constitu,
ton" In that manuscript. the
brief argued, Calhoun attacked a
proposal by Alexander Hamilton
under which the power Of the Fed,
eral Government could be ex.
tended over business.
Calhoun, the lawyers said, held
that Hamilton's proposal laid a
foundation for departures from
the original construction Of the
Constitution "the results Of which
although not Immediately de-
veloped have since led to the most
serious evils"
The Commonwealth Of Penn
sylvania today appealed to the
Supreme Court from a lower court
order that the State must pay the
Federal floor tax on alcoholic
liquors owned by it and sold
through its liquor retail stores,
The State contends that all func'
tions pertaining to its handling
of liquor are local and that Con
greSs is not authorized to impose
floor tax.
