Washington - The question
everybody in Washington is ask
ing everybody else is:
"What sort of a substitute fof
AAA is the Administration going
to turn out?"
Nobody knows the exact answer
as yet, but a good many straws in
the wind give some indications Of
what is being %planneod. The first
straw was President Roosevelt's
statement that he was not in favor
of an export debenture plan, which
would, as he put it, amount to
making a present to Europe of the
fertility Of our soil. In other
words, what is being sought for is
method of crop control based upon
the necessity of land conservation.
The representatives of the farm
organizations who are summoned
to meet in Washington are united
on the plan that the so-called
marginal lands should be with
drawn from commercial production,
through rental at equitable rates,
of such land as may be necessary
to promote conservation of soil
fertility and to bring about a bal
ance of domestic production at
profitable prices.

Washington-WhiIe the Caro-

MAYBE DOMESTIC


Instead of export bounties, it is
regarded as probable that the Ad-
ministration will propose a domes-
tic allotment system, based on
boundaries to farmers on the pro-
portion of their crops consumed at
home This has been considered
by Congress many times in the past
but never as pare Of a comprehen-
sive oation-w;..c plan.

the AAA case did not negative pro-
cessing taxes as suc'', hut only the
cllo.ment of processing funds to a
SPECIAL class or group. 1t is held
hat rocessins taxes n entirely
within the power of Congress, pre-
vided the money so collected goes
into the general revenues, and that
Congress has the right to appropri-
ate, from general revenues, funds
for the payment of bountles to
farmers for sol conservation and
other purposes.
: This idsa of soil conservation has
been one of President Roosevelt's
pets for a long time. On October
IS he indicated it as the basis of any
long-term and permanent agricul-
tural adjustment program, and
pointed out that the benefits could
be made to encourage individual
farmers to adopt sound farm man
sgement, crop rotation and soil M
%servation methods. He was talking
then of the more or less distant
future, but it wuold appear that
the Supreme Courts decision may
force the immediate adoption oil
such a plan.

HG$e Passes
g$0ate's Bond
Elan BAG To SO
Both Chambers Sure Of
Large Enough Majority
To Override Pres.

Washington-The long bonus
battle virtually came to an end
here Wednesday when the House by
overwhelming vote approved the
Senate bill which calls for payment
of the war veterans adjusted SER
vice certificates and sent it to the
White House for approval.
The vote was 34e to 50.
Representatives Tarver and Cox,
Of the Georgia delegation voted
against the measure.
The measure is backed by the
American Legion, Veterans of For
eign Wars and Disabled American
Veterans.
Speaker Byrns signed the bill
soon after the House had passed
it. Vice President Gamers sigma
ture was attached a short time la
ter, and the measure was taken to
the White House.
Under the Constitution the Presi-
dent has ten days in which he may
sign bill or return it to Congress
with his veto. Should he fail to
take either action, the measure au-
) tomatically becomes law at the ex-
tpiration of this period.
MI. Roosevelt has maintained a
steadfast silence on the bonus ques-
tons during the present session.
: Because of his enphatetic veto of
the bonus measure passed last year,
;, many Democratic leaders in both
! houses privately were of the opin-
ion he would reject the present
!, measure.
Sponsors of the bill however,
were certain the "baby-bond" plan
has the necessary two-thirds vote
required to override an executive
veto.
The bill directs the Treasury to
exchange the adjusted service err
tificates for negotiable bonds, issued
in multiples of $50. Veterans
may leave their bonds in the Treas
ury and obtain 3 per cent interest
! on them or cash them at once.
4 The bill cancels approximately
$50 million dollars in interest
charges incurred since October
IS, 1881, by veterans who have
borrowed on their certificates.
With more than 100000 indi-
viduals possessing certificates, the
Treasury will be required to issue
1885 million dollars in bonds.
Veterans who have less than $50
credited to them will be paid off
in cash, requiring an additional
outlay of $S7,7oo,oOo.
To approve the Senate bond pro-
posal the House adopted a special
resolution offered by Representa-
tive Doughton (Democrat), of
=, North Carolina, chairman of the
ways and means committee, direct
ing concurrence in the Senate bonus
bill.
Before the House acted, Repre-
sentative McCormack (Democrat),
of Massachusetts, one of the vet
erans' leaders, expressed confidence
the ex~-service men would spend
their money in a wise manner"
II know the men contem-
plate and will use this money
properly" he added. "They
will spend it in such a way as
to benefit the entire commune
ty."

ical task involved in going over
