favoring the bill, nor as rejecting it.
Joining with Senator Harrison in

Senator Harrison issued statement
to the press explaining his new bill

Gently passed by the House. He said:
THE bill is not essentially different
in the benefits granted from the one
which has just passed the House, but
will, it is believed, provide a more
practicable measure for making the
settlement.
This proposal provides for the pay
ment of the face value of all adjusted
service certificates, less loans which
have been made on them, with no in
terest charged after September 80
1881. We have adopted this date fol

the one which was in the bill passed
by both Houses of Congress last year

BY the Associated Press.
Ordering 100000 in impounded
taxes returned to professors because
they were invalid under A. A. A.. the
Supreme Court left open today
whether the $1,000, ,0oo,o 900 of such
taxes already paid to farmers could be
retrieved by the taxpayers.
In another unanimous action. the
high tribunal also dismissed the first
test case on the Bankhead cotton
control act.
No decision was handed down in
the only other New Deal case before
it-involving the Tennessee Valley
Authority act.
The tax ruling, given in the Louis
lana rice millers case, did not cover
whether the professors must prove
they had not passed the levies on to
the consumer before recovery could be
made Litigation, already under way
in the lower courts. must decide that.
Government attorneys later empha-
sized this requirement of the amended
A. A. A. act would remain in effect
unless the Supreme Court holds it
invalid.
Normally. the cosrt does not rule on
questions unless it considers they are
directly presented in litigation be-
fore it.
"No Case" on Cotton Act.
Considering that no case had been
made against the Bankhead law, the
nine justices said their review in this
instance had been "improvidently
granted on the 6-to-3 vote last Fall

failed to make a case, it was recalled,
and the appeals court agreed upon
the established principle that q man

discretion"
The Supreme Court accepted this
view.
