CAPITAL Comments Clash
Expect Roosevelt Comment
in Jackson Day Talk
Tomorrow Night.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-Much
of official Washington mourned to-
day at the bier of the AAA and
looked to President Roosevelt to
speak the benediction.
The President will be asked at his
press conference today for official
comment upon the Supreme Court S
decision holding the New Deals
farm act unconstitutional. He will
have opportunity for comment in
jackson Day dinner speech to be
broadcast nationally tomorrow
night.
All-Republicans and Democrats
alike-seemed agreed that some
thing must be done. But none
seemed to know just what it would
be. Republicans talked of a sub
stitute farm-aid program, and some
discussed possibility of constitu-
tional amendment.
Senator Sherman Minton made
caustic comments today regarding
the AAA Supreme Court decision. A
lawyer and former public counselor
for the Indiana Public Service Com
mission, Senator Minton has been
100 per cent New Deal since COM
ing here.
Maybe it would be constitutional
if we voted to use Federal funds to
further the anti-Administrat ton
antics of the American Liberty
League" Senator Minton said.
1.-The Supreme Court has no
trouble upholding protective tariffs.
And we could have a war any
time and donate to the du Points,
but Federal funds can only be used
for making fat cats fatter.
IF this government can't help
the common people of the country,
we had better know about it right
now and fix things so that it can"
Senator Frederick VanNuys, also
an attorney, said: THE pronounce
ment of the Supreme Court is final
with me-"
To Vice President John N. Garner
the decision was not unexpected

er Joseph T. Robinson to under

Unit at City,

Within 10 days workmen will be-
gin to remodel completely the con-
tagious ward at City Hospital at a
cost of $4,000, donated by Eli Lilly

The will put in a new floor, new
floor covering, new windows, new

bicles for the patients, who will be
isolated thereafter even within the
ward.
There now are 35 patients in the
ward and DR.. Charles Myers, hos
pitai superintendent, is busy finding
temporary ward for them while
the work is in progress.
1t all came about because a physi-
clan in the Lilly laboratory &C.
caSionally worked in the ward in the
course of his duties.
DR.. Myers recommended in last
years report that money be found
for undermining the ward but di-
rectors were unable to provide the
funds.
The Lilly employe interested him
self in the situation and took it up
with directors of the company. They
voted the money several days ago.

DRUNK DRIVING
CURB is ASKED
Women's Council Proposes
ConfiScation of Cars
of Offenders.

The Indianapolis Council of Wom-
en-, meeting in Ayres' auditorium,
today passed resolutions calling for
state conf1scation, upon conviction,
of any drunken drivers car, and
conflscation of any car whose owner
gave fictitious address when get
ting license tags.
1t also passed a resolution ask
ing that auto owners be required to
carry collision, personal liability and
property damage insurance, one
half of which would be paid for
from the gasoline tax fund of the
state or county or both, and one
half of which would be paid for by
the owner.
Another resolution passed asks for
compulsory physical examination of
drivers; examination by traffic Of
flcerS to determine driving ability.
and an examination of all automo-
biles to show that they meet safety
requirements before licenses are is
sued.
The council gave as its reason for
such drastic measures the increas-
ing death toll in traffic and the
conviction that streets are unsafe
for children because of needless
drivers and antiquated cars.
The council authorized it's
economics committee to make a
study of distributing costs and quail
ity of Indianapolis milk to deter
mine if it is to ask rehearing of the
petition of dealers that resulted in
the state board declaring an
emergency and raising the retail
price of milk one cent quart.
The council said it had been given
insufficient data on the matter and
required more information before
determining its course of action.

A complaint to City Council that
the franchise of the Indiana Bell
Telephone Co. does not bring suf-
ficient revenue to the city of Indi-
annapolis today brought reply from
company officials that in addition
to giving the city $4,000 yearly, ca
BILE facilities for Gamewell systems
of the police and fire departments
are furnished without cost.
The Officials statement follows:
"The Indiana Bell Telephone Co.
has operated in the city of Indian
apolis under a franchise entered
into in 1896 So far as the COM
pany knows this is the first time
any question has been raised about
the provisions of the franchise.
Under the franchise the company
has paid $4,000 annually to the city
and in addition, the city has bene-
fitted through the use of both aerial
and underground facilities furnished
without charge to the city by the
telephone company for its policeIand
fire alarm systems. The use of these
facilities has grown as the city has
expanded
Willing to Confer
1.-THE telephone company will, of
course, be glad to discuss the pro-
visions of its franchise with repre-
sentaIives of the city," the state
ment concluded.
A suggestion that the telephone
company may owe the city $4,000
yearly instead of the $4,000 it now
pays is being investigated by the
City Council.
The matter was brought to the
councils attention last night in
letter written by Walter Q. Lewis,
attorney. Mr.. Lewis traced the his
tory of the franchise under which
the telephone company operates
from the time he says it was grant,
ed, in 1896, to the present.
His letter says the $4,000 figure was
named in the original franchise for
the use of city streets and alleys and
has not changed although the city
area has expanded many times.
Merger Reduced Payments
He further claims that when there
were two telephone companies in
town they each paid the $4,000 year.
ly but since the merger the Indiana
Bell Telephone Co. has paid only
the $4,000 for the same rights.
Walter Boetcher. cit.' controller,
told council members the matter
had come up when he was men,
Der of the Works Board and though
nothing had been done about it, he
believed the utility should pay
$4,000 yearly.

Committee Is to Schedule
Production for 1886,
Abbott Says.

Marion County meetings of farm
ers holding AAA corn-hog and
wheat contracts were cancelled at
noon today by Horace E. Abbott
county agricultural agent, upon
word from j. H. Skinner, Purdue
University, AAA director for In
diana, that all field men of the
Federal division would be with
drawn.
Defeat of the AAA, however, by
the United States Supreme Court
proved only a momentary setback,
as Mr.. Abbott named members of
a county planning committee to
schedule production of agriculture
for the 1886 farm year.
The committee will meet Jan. "a
to hear Leon Todd, Purdue Uni
versity crop expert, outline methods
of balancing production within mar
ket requirements, conserving the soil
and developing the land to benefit
farmers as well as give methods of
decentralizing and simplifying the
adjustment procedure.
County Survey Outlined
The committee named by Mr.
Abbott will conduct survey of
Marion County farms in an effort
to formulate a little AAA, under
state control or another Federal
law. in Marion County.
Former committee members to
meet with the Purdue farm ex-
pert JAM "a follow:
Ralph Ruschaupt, Russell Hutch
inSon, William Schilling, Anton
Ploenhes, George w. Prange, Walter
Barbour, Fred Watson, Russell Rob-
erts, Howard Johnson. Albert Stein
meier, Robert Kerr, Herman Snyder,
Carl Mailer. Oscar Blank, Howard
Mills. Ray Mendenhall, Arthur Scud-
der, Frederick w. Kortepeter, Walter
Dickerson, DIN Walker, Clyde Myer,
Harry Richards and Charles Smart.
The committee, according to Mr.
Abbott, was planned two weeks ago
upon advices of the AAA officials in
Washington, who apparently were
preparing for adverse action by the
Supreme Court.
Depressing Effect Likely
Similar committees with volun-
tary membership are being organ
lied by county agents througout In
diana, Mr.. Abbott said.
THE invalidation of the AAA
should have depressing effect on
farm prices as acreage unlooseS and
competition among farmers begins.
The farmers will have to work
harder at less profit. if some remedi-
al measures are not proposed" Mr..
Abbott said.
However, we have been told the
last few months that the govern
ment has some substitute measures,
and we have confidence in the gov
eminent"
Paid S250,000 in County
Mr.. Abbott commented that the
Supreme Court action would deter
mine where the processing taxes
come from-the consumer, producer
or professor.
Since some professors admit that
tney collect the processing tax, TO
whom will they refund the money
the government returns to them?"
Mr.. Abbott asked.
During 1885, the AAA paid more
than $250,000 to farmers in Marion
County on corn-hog and wheat re-
duction contracts.
Despite the decision, Mr.. Abbott
plans to hold series of conferences
with county farmers this week, be-
ginning this afternoon.
In the meantime attorneys of the
city. who have represented process
ing tax litigants in Federal court,
were jubilart over the high court
victory and the return of $4,000 900
in impounded taxes which are in
prospect with dismissal of the SO
suits pending In Federal court.

Col. William D. DeRohan, Ma

engineer, today predicted that In
dianapolis will have lower fire in
surance rate after he presents re-
port of his survey of conditions
here to his board next spring.
This afternoon he met with Mayor
Kern, safety board members, and
Fire Chief Fred C. Kennedy and
told them that conditions are so
satisfactory that he feels certain his
board will reduce the rate.
Col. DeRohan, with two other
board engineers, H. T. Mum and
L. w. Evans, today completed a
nine-week survey, including inspec-
ton of water facilities, structural
conditions and electrical hazards and
study of records in the office OF
Chief Kennedy.
Personnel Excellent
Summary of the survey shows fire
department personnel rating as ex-
cellent and the apparatus in good
repair, although some of it is old.
Removal of the wood shingle haz-
ard and demolition of fire breeding
structures are stressed in The report
as having the greatest bearing on a
probable insurance cost reduction.
The insurance rate situation is to
be settled definitely following final
board report to be made next spring

NEW DEALERS HIT BACK.
CALL FARM CONFERENCE
Secretary Wallace Warns
Agrarian Depression
May Return.
SPEECH is UNEXPECTED
Challenges Court Ruling
That Farm Production
Is Purely Local.

! By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. T.
Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace today ex-
pressed fear that dropping of
AAA processing taxes and
farm acreage control will re-
suit in a repetition of the
1921 situation within a few
years.
In an unexpected address deliv-
cred over the National Farm and
Home radio hour, Mr.. Wallace re-
| ferred to statements made by him
in the fall of 1884, when he pre-
| dicted immediate drops in farm
goods prices if processing taxes and
| acreage control were not continued.
Il realize quite we'll that during
the first year or two after the re-
moval of the processing taxes, the
result might seem quite happy" the
secretary said.
He continued, however, that un-
doubtedly within short time" the
effect of the dropping of the taxes
would be noticeable by marked de-
crease in farm income.
Reviews History of Act
Mr.. Wallace said
SsNx1 -
resentatives of farm organizations
from every section of the United
States assembled with us in WASH
ington to decide upon farm pro-
gram to be submitted to Congress.
On March 16, farm bill was in
troduced into the Congress and on
May IL, 1888, the Agricultural ADJ
justment Act became law.
When, on May 81, 1885, the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act was
ruled unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court, farm leaders and the
! Congress endeavored to profit by
that decision and took what seemed
to them the necessary steps to
strengthen constitutional defects in
the Agricultural Adjustment Act. On
Jan. s, 1886, however-24 hours ago
the Agricultural Adjustment Act
was declared unconstitutional by
majority of the Supreme Court of
the United States, three members
of the court dissenting.
agricultural production. the
court says, is "a purely local ac-
tivity.'
Cites Courts Opinion
"The power to control agricul-
tural production the court says, if
it exists at all, must under the
Constitution, remain with the states
rather than the Federal government
The Majority opinion of the Su-
preme Court further observes that
regulation of agricultural produc-
ton under the adjustment act is
not in fact voluntary; but even if
it were voluntary, it would still be
outside the power of the Federal
government. Again finally, con-
tracts for the reduction of acreage
and the control of production de-
clares the Supreme Court, are out
side the range of that power
What I have just given you, 1
believe, is the heart of the major
ity and controlling opinion. The
dissenting opinion, subscribed to by
three of the nine justices de-
clares that the Constitution means
what it says when it says that the
power to tax and spend includes
the power to relieve a nationwide
economic reimbursement by addi-
tional gifts of money
