SOCIAL SECURITY LEGISLATION

After months of turbulent debate
the social security measure has been
enacted by Congress. The Presiden
hailed its passage as good news, and
the general expectation is that he
will shortly set up board of three
to administer old age pensions.
States will handle the unemployment,
insurance, although the Treasury will
hold the funds The children's bu-
reau will control disbursements to
help handicapped mothers and chill
dren.
Under the bill employers and en-
ployes eventually will be taxed 3 per
cent each on wages up to $4,000 an
nually, to provide for old age pen
sions. Benefits range from $40 to
$85 a month.
The bill also sets up Federal
State unemployment insurance sys-
tenn and calls for an appropriation OF
100000, 700 next year by the Fed
eral Government to provide for OLD
age and grants to the blind, crippled
children and needy mothers. In ad
dition, the Government will offer
grants of SIS a month, to be match
ed by the States, for needy aged no,
cared for under \ the contributory
pension system.
The measure, which involves the
largest tax burden ever approved by
Congress, is designed to apply the
old age and unemployment systems
to 2O,OO0,00O workers.

VITAL PART OF AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY

1t has been repeatedly stated thai
the structure of American democracy
rests on four cornerstones-freed
of speech, freedom of the press, free
dom of religion, and freedom of edu-
cation. It has been emphasized time
and again that to maintain our de-
mocracy, not one Of these stones may
be removed. The first three were
placed in the first Amendment 30 the
federal constitutional structure, and
the fourth appears in the structure
of the organic law and statutes of all
the states and in the laws of the vari-
Gus other governments under the
federal Constitution.
Although the last to go into our
democratic structure, education is
the most important; for, without it,
a dead weight of ignorance, intoler-
ance, and prejudice will chip and
mar the beauty and weaken the
strength of the other three founda-
ton stones of our political insti-
tutions.

only to support the programs as
temporary expedient, but to assist in
it's development into an effective
instrument against the ever-present
threat of overproduction."
Mr.. Wise said that provisions have
been worked out by the AAA officials
for including rye in the adjustment
program, and that contracts TO be
submitted to the growers of that
crop are now being considered, and
are to- be offered in the near future
possibly the same time that the new
wheat adjustment contracts are sub

N ITO N-WIDE COOPERATION
SOLE HOPE OF FARMER
Maryland Farm Leader Points To
Large Wheat Carry-Over-1935
Crop Exceeding Needs BY
1OO-MilliOn Bushels

lOU-NAlllIOu DuSucIS
Only one alternative remains for
the American farmer if he wishes to
avoid the disastrous effects again
threatened by the excessive supply
of wheat in the United States, ac-
cording TO C. e. Wise, Jr., Executive
Secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation. THAT alterna-
tive," he declared, lis cooperation on
a national scale to guage production
to something much nearer the re-
quirements of consumers in our own
country"
According to estimates completed
on July 1, the wheat carry-over from
last year is approximately 150-mil-
lion bushels. Mr.. Wise pointed out
that this comparatively large carry
over occurred in spite of the fact that
the wheat crop of 497 million bush
els in 1884 was the smallest in Al
years. although the 1885 crop of
731 million bushels is approximately
100 million bushels below the nor
mai U. S. crop, average U. S. con-
sumption he said, lis only $50
million bushels, leaving a total sur
plus of nearly $50 million bushels. +"
I'm view of this situation, it is
clear" Mr.. Wise said, that the
American wheat growers are con-
fronted not only with the problem of
what to do with wheat for which
there is absolutely no market at
home, and very little abroad, but
with the necessity of closer coopera-
ton in the program fer a balanced
production. With the trend in al
most every country Enthusiastically
towards national self-sufficiency, the
dictates of enlightened self-interest
and the common welfare" he said.

NEW DEAL IN THE COURTS

The march of New Deal legislation
through the courts continues. With
in the past three weeks, .hree major
Administration measures have been
subjected to jude al scrutiny-anu
.wo Of the three have been found
wanting Last words, of course, will
BE said by The Supreme Court, when
t meets for its next term
First case concei ned the Agrlcul-
.ural Adjustment Administration
his bureau pays farmers for re-
,tricting their crops, raises the
money through processing and flour
axes Plaintiff in the case was
milling company, which had refused
o pay $4,000 demanded by the col
ector of internal revenue. In the
district court, the Government was
.pheld, and the company was order
ID to come through with the S82,-
90. 1t appealed to the circuit cour.
n Bos ION, which reversed the lower
curt by a 2-to-1 decision, and held
hat Congress did not possess the
jower to delegate taxing authority
o the Secretary of Agriculture. If
his decision is given validity by the
supreme Court, the Government may
nave to refund processing taxes al
eady collected, and pay future bene-
its out of regular funds.
Second case concerned the policy
f the Public Works Administration
n condemning land to use for low
ost federal housing projects. This
S very close to the heart of Secretary
.ckes, who has planned a $780,
100000 slum clearance and low-cost
housing program. Suit was brought
~ property owner who did not
wish to sell at the Governments
price, wished to bargain for greater
compensation. The Cincinnati cir
.uit court held for the plaintiff, said
hat the Government has not the
lower to condemn land for this pur
pose.
Third case involved one of the
most debated of Administration ac-
.ivities-the Tennessee Valley Au-
hority A few months ago suit
vas brought to restrain the Author
ty from selling eelctric power in
competition with private producers
md to invalidate contracts made be-
.ween the Authority and various
owns in the Tennessee Valley area.
Federal District Judge Grub held
tor the plaintiff, decided the con-
.racts were illegal. The Govern
nent appealed to the Appellate court
n New Orleans, and the judges
1verruled Judge Grub, decided that
the Government can sell power in
competition with private parties.
Thus the New Deal came to the bar
three times-won once, and lost
twice. This is similar to past ex-
perience, and illustrates fact recog
nized by Administration friends and
opponents alike-that much of the
legislation proposed and pushed by
the President cannot be held valid
without Constitutional change. And
that promises to be the prime plank
in next years general election.

Emboldened by a recent Indiana

net income tax bill.
The Republicans caucused yeSter-

introduce the bill, which would
fulfill one of the pledges of the
Republican state platform.
The measure, introduced by Rep
H. H. Evans, Newcastle, Re-

patterned after the Federal net in

tions allowed by the Federal govern
ment are made. The Federal ex-
emptionS are $500 for married
person, plus $500 for each depend

Federal employees would be exempt
from the state tax, but state en-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Admin-
istration leaders, spurred by grow
ing labor unrest, today speeded
recommendations to Congress for
recovery legislation intended to give
workers added benefits
While admitting seriousness of the
labor situation, Administration
leaders professed to believe wide
spread strikes could be averted by
prompt enactment Of social security
relief legislation and NRA extern
sion.
Legislation for continuation of the
NRA for one or possibly two
years probably will be recommended
to Congress soon, it was indicated.
Future of the recovery act, which
expires June 10, was discussed at a
two-hour conference at the White
House. Donald r. Richberg, Re-
covery Co-ordinator, and NIRB Off
Gals attended.
Mr.. Richberg said later there was
practical general agreement on
recommended legislation. None who
conferred with President Roosevelt
would give any hint as to the nature
of the recommendations.
Strong indication the President
will ask for a continuation of his
recovery agency was seen in discus
sion of future legislation at the
Capitol and the code hearings being
conducted by the NIRB.
Threats of strikes before spring
are being made in three major in
duStries-automobile, steel and cot
ton textiles. The American Fedora
of Labor has been openly critical of
some Administration labor policies.

not ofen have as good year as

Nevertheless the parade of figures

counsel for Mrs. Vallee-$2850 for a
weekly broadcast, $4,000 for a NOV
ing picture, $500 a week from a
night club-impressed Justice Sal
vatore A. Gothic, who added, how
ever, that the prime conSldera-
ton was not how much money Mr..

store was given by attorneys for
both sides when, in stating the case,
they mentioned the celebrated rec
ordS by Mr.. Vallee of telephone con-
versations between his wife and
Gary Leon, handsome adagio

Lyman Bushel of counsel for
Vallee, asserted that Mrs. Vallee was
