Threatening Revolt"

BY the Associated fress-
A struggle between the main divi-
sions of national production-agricui-
ture and industry-was presaged today
by the announcement that farmers
will challenge industrial tariffs in re-
taliation for manufacturers attacks
on agricultural processing taxes.
H. G. Lucas, Brownwood, Tex,
president of the Texas Agricultural
Association, said his organization is
250, 900 members would ask farmers
of other States to join the revolt
against the protective levies. Suits
will be started soon to test the con-
stitutionality of industry's tariffs,
Lucas said.
MiddIemen Attacked.
Farmers are aroused, Lucas as
serted. by "middlemen's" suits attack
ing the validity of the processing
taxes, called the farmers tariffs. :"
Approximately $50 such suits have
been filed and the number is increas-
ing almost daily. Although A. A. A.
officials have repeatedly called on
farmers to fight for retention Of the
processing levies at least until indus
try relinquishes its protective tariffs,
Lucas said he had not consulted the
farm administration about his plans
for q counter offensive. The pro-
posed tariff suits would be inspired
solely by aroused farmers" he said.
A meeting of directors of the Texas
Agricultural Association will be held
Friday at Bryan, Tex, Lucas said,
and final plans will be made for the
test suit. The tariffs on goods that
farmers buy will be contested, he
added, on the grounds they are spe-
cial levies for the benefit of one class
and are not revenue measures. Lucas
said he had received indications that
assistance will be Forthcoming from
Louisiana, Mississippi. Iowa, Alabama
and Oklahoma.

We do not object to the tariffs as
such. But We believe we are entitled
to as much protection as the manu-
