Justices At Same Time
Agree To Pass Upon
Constitutionality Of
1885 Amendment

Washington.A Supreme Court
order temporarily enjoining govern
ment collections Of AAA process
ing taxes for eight Louisiana rice
millers this week augmented diff
ficulties besetting the New Deals
farm program.
The action of the justices, who
simultaneously agreed to pass upon
the constitutionality of an AAA
amendment f~orbidding injunctions
to restrain processing tax collec-
tions, directly affected a compare
lively small sum.
Some legal observers, however,
contended the action served to
tighten for the present lower court
orders impounding from $685.
100000 to $15o,ooo,oo Of taxes
pending a high court ruling on the
AAA's constitutionality. Govern
ment attorneys looked for the order
to Prompt-new injunction SUITS.
By the high courts ruling grant
ing the injunction petition of the
rice millers, they will continue to
pay processing taxes. But instead
of going to the treasury, the.,taxe;;
will be paid into ! court-approved
depository for holding until tha
constitutional question is decided.
Quick after the Supreme Court
order the administration issued a
statement by M. G.. White solicit
tor of the Agriculture department,
which said no significance was at
tached to the injunction insofar
as the constitutionality of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment act is con-
cerned.'
"This action of the Supreme
Court will have no effect on the
availability of funds to meet con-
tract payments since such funds
are advanced by the Treasury, out
Of the general funds of the Treasury
to meet the current needs Of the
AAA.
Furthermore, even a final deter
mination Of the question of con-
st~itutionality by the district court
and ultimately by the appellate
court in this case, would not have
any effect on the governments OBJ
legations with respect to existing

Board Reports Survey Shows

National Resources Or
ganization's Summary
Includes Work Being
Done In N. c.

Washington, Nov. 23-The
march Of the new industrial order
in North Carolina, especially the
western section, has awakened a de-
sire to preserve the old order Of
things for future posterity. the Ma
tional Rsources board finds in a re-
port which has been sent to the
President.
The report says that in many
ways, 1.-THE advent of State plan
ming in North Carolina comes at a
fortunate time. Throughout most
its history, the State has been
largely rural and agricultural, but
during the last few decades indus
trialization has been proceeding
apace. The organic changes occa-
stoned by this have demanded new
ways of thinking and acting. Two
major movements have emerged;
~ Village planning and ~ the
activity of the institute for re-
search in social science At the Uni
versity Of North Carolina.
Due to the newness Of the
board, most of its. energies have SC
far been devoted to preliminary
organization problems and to for
mulating a working philosophy.
To guide the work of the 10 COM
mittees which were organized, the
following points of policy have
been agreed upon:
"(1) Other things being equal,
the planning board is eager to en-
courage projects which, being very
much needed in the State, also con-
stitute valuable units in the pro-
gram of national reconstruction.
"(2) Relative permanence and
broad social value are two import
ant criteria for judging projects;
the board intends to give priority
to those which seem to contribute
to the wealth, values, and general
welfare of the State.
"(3) The board intends to place
special emphasis on the problem Of
refrigeration of agrarian culture
to which end it will lend its sup.
port to three major projects: Rur.
al identification, soil erosion ser
vice, and rural rehabilitation pro.
grams. Each of these ,,constitu.
ties a major plank in the nationa
program, and each will contribute
materially to increase Of values, in
creese of income, and increase Of
standards of living in rural NORTH

Washington, particularly as tbs
national election approaches, look.
at every official act with an eye
to its possible political effects.
Heretofore, political sharpshoot-
ers of both parties are scrutiniz-
ing the new RECIPROCITY Tariff
agreement between the United
States and Canada, which was ne
gotiated by President Roosevelt in
person with Premier Mackenzie
King of Canada. There are as
many points of view about its pos
sible effects as there are common
tators. Some of the President
friends are expressing alarm, point
ing out that it was President Taft's
Reciprocity Tariff agreement with
Canada that wrecked his Admin
istration and the Republican Par
ty in 1910. Others point out
that conditions are different now,
and that there is an apparent de-
mand by consumers on both sides
of the international boundary for
larger supplies of goods at lower
prices.

Dor adopted a resolution here ask
ing that the hours of work on WPA

The resolution follows: .'
'Whereas, we recognize the fact
that wage scales for WPA projects
are set by the Federal government
according to regions; and,
whereas, authority has been
given State administrators to adj
just working hours in accordance
with prevailing wages; and,
"whereas, present hours being
worked at the present wages re-
ceived are proving detrimental to

Therefore, be it resolved, That
the executive board of the State
Federation of Labor go on record
demanding that the hours of work
on wPA projects be reduced to
conform with prevailing wages Tin
conformity with the Davis-Bacon

the State with a minimum Of $1.10

cents an hour for all unskilled la

SIDELINE COMMENT

There are very clear evidences
of an official desire to put the Ad-
ministratien of the Government on
a more economical basis. The Civil
Service Commission reported the
other day that there are now 1884,
467 civil employees of the Gov
eminent outside of those in the
CCC and on Work Relief projects.
Those figures, which don't include
the Army and Navy, are the high
est ever reached in time Of peace
Considerable amazement is being
expressed over the disclosure that
DR.. Tugwell, as Administrator OF
the Rural Resettlement, has en-
ployed more than $4,000 persons
in his division.
Some of the things that rise tc
the surface of the bubbling poll
teal pot:
The Presidents remark the other
day that if he were a voter in
Nebraska he would work for the
return to the Senate of the pres
ent Republican Senator, George A
Norris. This was in answer te
Senator Norris statement that he
wanted to retire from public life
Senator Borah's statement, on
his return to Washington, that he
has definitely determined his policy
This is variously interpreted, bu,
generally taken to mean that he il
an active candidate for the Repub.
lican nomination. He did net say
what his policy would be.
The declaration by Governor
Olsen, of Minnesota, that a ma
tional third party is inevitable, per-
haps in 1886.
Former President Hoover's speech
in New York, in which he mad'
his most vigorous attack yet upor

cized the Administrator monitar,

and e~pigrammatic speech Nj

DUTY RATE REDUCTIONS

Under the new agreement, Can
ada reduces rates of duty on $50
commodities imported from the
States, including fresh fruits, vege-
tables and wheat. The larges,
single reduction is on wheat, where
the Canadian duty is cut from 80
cents a bushel to II cents. Maine
potatoes and Florida oranges are
now on Canada's free list.
The United States reduces the
duty on imports from Canada of
beef cattle, dairy cows, cream, seed
potatoes, lumber, hay, horses, live
poultry, .cheddar cheese (which is
ordinary mouse cheese), apples and
maple sugar, among other items.
The American tariff on Canadian
whiskey is reduced from $ to $3.50
per gallon. On the other hand,
Canada admits American magazines
free of duty.
What alarms some of the Presi-
dents advisers most is the list Of
Canadian agricultural products that
will be admitted to the States free
or at reduced tariff rates. These
timid ones expect a storm~ofaex-
cited protest from American farm
ers, but that fear is discounted by
those who point out that we are
already importing, over a high
tariff wall, a considerable part of
the nations food supply.
Whether this new Canadian
agreement is another straw point
ing toward the abandonment of the
Administrators policy Of reduced
production and high prices, in fav-
or of general lower prices to con-
sumers for everything, is an open
question.
