.SAYSFARMERS'
INCOME IS CUT
BY TRIPLE A
Governments Chief Agri-
cultural Research Agency
Files Report
TAX PASSED ON,
PAID BY GROWERS
By CARL SKINNER
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. GP).
The governments chief agricul-
tural research agency reported
last night that a study of the eff
feet of AAA processing taxes
showed they either had been pass
ed on to the consumer or had been
paid indirectly by the farmer who
received lower prices for his prod
ucts.
The study as made by the bu-
reau of agricultural economics at
the request Of the agricultural ad-
justment administration.
simultaneously the American
Liberty league issued a pamphlet
analysing the AAA and attacking
the New Deal farm program as
regimenting farmers and creating
"a definite challenge to the Amer
lean form of government"
Delegation of broad power to
the secretary of agriculture both
with respect to control of agricul-
ture and imposition of processing
taxes ignores the separation of
powers of the federal government
among the coordinate branches"
the league said.
The payment of processing taxes
became an issue during the last
session when the AAA law was
amended. The government want
ed to bar suits from professors
for recovery of the taxes in the
event they were declared uncon-
stitutional. The senate amended
this proposal SC that only those
professors who could show they
paid the tax themselves could sue
for recovery.
Since that time approximately
S15O,OOO,O00 in processing taxes
have been tied up in thousands OF
cases in which handlers of taxed
products sought injunctions to
prevent government collection.
The supreme court will decide this
issue soon.
The American farm bureau fed
Grafton entered the processing tax
fight on the side of the govern
ment Saturday when it filed a
brief with the supreme court sup
porting the validity of the levles.
The brief drew an analogy be-
tween the protective tariff tax
and the processing tax. 1t argued
that the tariff obtains for indus
try a higher price for products
consumed domestically, and that
the processing tax has the same
/ objective for surplus agricultural
commodities.
The farm federation's brief was
in connection with the Hoosae
Mills case, involving constitution
alitv of the cotton processing TAX
on which arguments will start De-
cember 8. s &c
Officials who made the study OF !
who actually paid the taxes sald
the only detailed reports made SO
far were confidential and had
been turned over to the AAA,
Thev said the study would remain
confidential unless the AAA de-
cides to make it public.

New Educational

By CHARLES E. AHRENS
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2.-CUP).-
The Livermore shooting, Governor
Alfred Landon of Kansas, and
Kentucky's recent dry election
last night were interviewer into
the Anti-Saloon Leagues 28th ma
tional convention to condemn the
liquor interests and sound the key
note for an educational backfire
intended to ressurrect prohibition.
The possibility that Governor
Landon may achieve concerted
dry support should he win the Re-
publican presidential nomination
next year was voiced by Homer
Rodeheaver of Chicago. who con-
nected dry Kansas with Landon
and a balanced budget.
Governor Landon is being con-
sidered for the presidency" he
said, because he has achieved for
his state a balanced budget. He
was able to do that because
Kansas for half a century ha:
been listed among the dry states"
The mention of Landon's name
brought prolonged applause.

compatriot of the late Billy Sun

Local Boys Gain in Weight
and Power But Find
Opposition Stiff
STATISTICS

A heavier and more powerful
Blue Ridge Hilltopper team found
tough opposition in a fighting
Mars Hill high eleven on the high
school athletic field on Saturday
afternoon, but managed to push
over three touchdowns and the ac-
curate toe of Burns accounted for
two extra points to give the local
prep team a 20 to 0 victory.
The Hilltoppers scored in every
period except the third and were
on the visitors 1-yard line when
the whistle ended the game. The
visitors penetrated as far as the
Hilltopper Is on one occasion but
fumbled and never really threat
ened to score.
On occasions the visitors put no
a determined defense against the
Hilltopper attack. In Davis, who
started as a halfback and shifted
to left end, Mars Hill showed a
youngster entirely capable of TAX
ing care of his position. He made
many tackles out of his position
during the game, on one occasion
pulling down Hilltopper ball car
rier on the far side of the field
from his own position. Huff and
Ball were the outstanding backs
for the visitors. Huff gave the Wis
itors their one big moment of the
day when he took Blue Ridge
kickoff on his own 10-yard line
and sprinted through the entire
team for "a yards to the Hilltop

u. S. OIL EMBARGO
MIGHT BRING WAR
Bv RALPH FORTE

United Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Dec.-2. (UP).-United
States oil policy was the center of
political discussion in Rome last
night.
Some Italian quarters fear the
United States may declare pc
troleum. embargo or drastically
limit oil exports to Italy. For the
present American action consists
of attempting to hold the flow Of
oil from the United States to Italy
to normal" by warnings to ex-
porters.
Extreme Fascists holding impor-
tant government positions af-
frmed that a u. s. oil embargo
would precipitate war. They did
not elaborate but it was believed
they meant that U. S. action would
assure league measures.
Italy would retailate against
league observation-disclosures their
motive is to halt Italy's penetra-
ton of Ethiopia-but presumably
would not strike back at America
because the latter's motive is pres
ervation of neutrality.
The important international pro-
nouncement expected from Satur-
days cabinet meeting now is anti
cipated after Tuesdays meeting.
Some diplomats beliebe the abb
sence of "blood and thunder"
declaration by Premier Mussolini
Saturday is encouraging to diplo-
matte efforts to effect solution.
Diplomats are divided as to the
probable effect of a possible oil
embargo. Some believe it would
precipitate a European conflict.
Others believe it would accelerate
a solution.
MANY observers believe 1taly's
oil reserve is sufficient for one
years requirements, especially
since the country is saving all fuel
possible and creating new supplies.
1t is said that the menace OF
war in Europe, however, compels
Premier Mussolini to retard fur
Their shipments to East Africa as
the security of the nation obvi-
ously comes before success of the
colonial punitive expedition"
Italy's oil reserves are insuffl-
cient to keep Italian bombers, mo-
torized armies and speedy aircraft
moving on land and in air and
water about two continents stimuli
taneously for any extended period.

THREATEN CAPITAL
Removal of State Center
Agitated in Row Over

ATLANTA, January 2.-Agitation
for removal of the State capital from
Atlanta to Macon or Marietta de-
veloped today as a result Of the fight
of the City of Atlanta and the County
of Fulton against the Farmers Market
here, is was said by persons close to
Gov. Eugene Talmadge.
The Governor instructed Attorney
General M. j. Yeomens to move for
dismissal Of injunction proceedings
brought by Atlanta and Fulton Coun-
ty in an effort to abate the market on
the ground that it is nuisance.
Talmadge took up the fight vigor-
ously, and yesterday dropped the hint
that he might use martial law.
Some of his followers declared the
farmers were suggesting the State
capital be moved to some other city.
Adjt. Gen. Lindley w. Camp said
his home town of Marietta, 20 miles
north of Atlanta, would duplicate the
State buildings If the capital were
moved there. Macon came forward
with a suggestion that 1t Is the logical
location for the State government.
There have been numerous attempts
in the past to remove the capital to
Macon.
