the fair exchange value. We knew
what the farmers benefits were to be.
Have we yardstick in the pending
bill? No. Three plans are set forth
without any measurement of the
amount of money that may be paid to
the farmers by the Secretary of Agri-
culture on their crops or on the land
retired and placed in legumes or nj
trogenous crops in order to prevent
the ground from yielding to erosion.
There is no restriction placed upon
the Secretary of Agriculture as to the
extent of the benefits which may be
paid or as to the source from which
they are to come.
There might be three sources from
which, under the pending bill, money
could be paid to the farmers. One
source was a national sales tax; the
second was the denounced processing
tax; and the third was a draft upon
the Treasury of the United States.
This bill does not contain a sentence
that states from what source the mon
ey is to be paid. In my experience as a
legislator in this body, do not recall
ANY Jill, oil dulIlOI lLdLlOll Jill VI dp-
preparation bill, that did not provide
the means or the manner Of paying
the benefits OF rewards or the grants
or whatever they may be called. Does
anyone know where this money shall
come from?
Are we to take the money out of the
Treasury of the United States? Are
we to fly in the face of the Supreme
Court and attempt again to levy pro-
cessing taxes in order to pay farmers
for planting some of their acreage
which they retire from the production
Of money crops in plants which go to
promote the fertility and conservation
Of the soil?
Are we to place a general sales tax
upon the backs of the people of this
country and pay the benefits to the
farmers from that source? Why does
not this bill say frankly where the
money is to come from? Shall we vote
for it in the blind and in the dark :?
Why does not the Secretary of Agri-
culture or the Administration or the
Senate Committee or the Congress
specify in what manner the benefits
shall be paid?
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-03-12

We are proposing to do the very
thing during this temporary period
that we did under the Agricultural
Adjustment Act. Under that act we
took out what were called excess acre
ages in order to reduce production,
which, in turn, elevated the price level
of farm products philosophy with
which l have no quarrel and which l
warmly favor. But the Supreme Court
came along and said we could not do
that particular thing.
Now, what are we doing? We are
taking out the same acreage and fol-
lowing the same principal with shade
of q difference in practice. Instead of
having the land lie idle we are saying
to the farmer: "Put this land in nitro
genous crops-clover, vetches, soy
beans or similar crops, for two pur-
poses, one to protect the land from
soil erosion and the other to add fer
tility to the SOIL"
The Government will then come
along and pay $44O,000,000 and
say to the farmer, "This is your re-
ward for retiring this excess acreage,
WHICH permits US 10 CuIldll pIOuuC-
ton and therefore bring about lar
ger yield financially to the farmer"
1t is exactly the same thing with lit
tie different dress, but one not quite
as becoming as the old, in my opinion.
1 do not want to tell the farmers
of the country that the language of
this bill brings it outside of the pro-
hibitory language of the Supreme
Courts decision. When the provisions
of this proposal are applied under the
most favorable terms under con-
struction which is undeniable, it adopts
the same plan and brings about the
same result as the act which was de-
nounced by the Supreme Court. Hence
1 cannot support a mere subterfuge
and artifce.
If the AAA had not been declared
unconstitutional there would have
been no effort made to increase the
appropriation for soil erosion in the
agricultural bill Of this year. In itself
it tells the story that we are not try
ing to conserve soil, but we are try
ing to avoid the decision of the Su-
preme Court.

ADMINISTRATIONS FARM
BILL PRONOUNCED SHAM
Senator McNary Condemns ''SOil
Conservation" Bill as Scheme
To Deceive Farmer

Charging that the Administration
new farm bill was drawn to deceive
the farmer, mislead and befuddle the
country, and circumvent the Supreme
Court, and predicting that it will not
stand the test when taken to the
courts, Senator Charles L. McNary of
Oregon, Republican floor leader, and
for many years chairman of the Agri-
culture Committee, riddled the bill
drafted under direction of Secretary
Wallace and sent to Congress with the
blessing of President Roosevelt. For
the first time, the Oregon Senator said,
he was opposing a farm relief bill. He
made plain his reasons. Many years
of past effort to formulate and bring
about enactment of helpful farm leg
islation gave to Senator McNary's
opinion more than usual Importance.
Taking the floor in opposition to the
Administration bill, Senator McNary
made clear his reasons. In part he
said:
This bill, stripped of all unneces-
sary language and honestly consid-
cred, is simply device, during tenn
porary period of two years, to deceive
the farmer.
This is the first time that l have
ever opposed farm bill. l oppose this
bill because l earnestly believe it is
a subterfuge and that it will not stand
the test of the courts.
Everyone knows that in the AAA
bill which was declared unconstitu-
tional there was yardstick by which
the benefits to be paid to farmers
could be adjudged correctly. That
yardstick was the difference between
the current average farm price and

Don't Let This Discourage You

Something for the farmer to worry
about. Maybe it would be better if he
didn't realize it.
Here's how hard a good farmer will
work in blowing:
An acre of soil enc foot deep is
called an acre foot. Sandy loan will
weigh three and one-half million
pounds per acre foot; clay lands three
and one-half million pounds per acre
foot; garden soils two and one-quar-
ter million pounds. So if the farmer
has done an honest days work-one
and eighteenth acres-and has been
turning the garden-when he knocks
off at quitting time he will have lifted
exactly 1926 tons, if he had plowed a
foot deep.
That's lot Of pounds,

Taxes Finally Got Him

Cold and stiff they found him, with a
peaceful look, tho dead;
"A case of Super-Tax," the coroner's
jury said.
His state tax and county tax had wor-
ried him full sore,
His personal and income tax then fret
ted him some more,
His motor tax and dog tax disturbed
his mental ease,
Amusement tax, employment tax and
surtaX Pullman fees.
Tax on safe-deposit box, tax on checks
he wrote,
Borrowed cash, and then they taxed
his promissory note;
A road tax and a school tax made him
sad and blue,
He had to take a stimulant, and he
found it was taxed too.
A clothing tax near stripped him; he
paid on shells and bait,
Plus taxes on cigars and beer, and ev-
erything he ate.
But now, alas, all overtaXed his soul
has flown its lair
Be it up or down he's satisfied, for
he'll find no taxes there.

Kenilworth Citizens Oppose Route
Change-Lincoln Park Group
Seeks Truck Reroutinp.

Improvement in trafic and public
transportation facilities was urged
last night by two citizens associations.
The Kenilworth Association went
on record as opposing the change in
the Kenilworth street car line, as ap-
proved by the Public Utilities Com
mission. The association contended
that the proposed run from Rosslyn
to Kenilworth is too long, resulting in
considerable delay during rush hours.
The cars now turn at Washington
Circle.
The Lincoln Park association for
warded a protest to Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer, complaining Of
noisy trucks operating on Tennessee
avenue and Thirteenth street north
east. 1t was suggested the trucks be
re-routed over other streets.
The Lincoln Park group also ap-
pointed a committee, consisting of J..
L. Gammell. E. L. Loving and Alfred
D. Calvert, to make study Of the rec
ords Of men available as appointees to
the post of peoples counsel. The
names Of Luther r. Maddox and Will

Great Britain's royal romance was
formally recognized by an American
official for the first time today when
Representative Cannon, Democrat OF
Wisconsin announced he would seek to
prevent United States diplomats from
taking any part Sin the coronation
ceremonies and the marriage ceremony
of the King of England"
Cannon said he would offer q reso-
luton in the opening session Of Con-
gress requesting the President to pro-
hibit participation In the ceremonies
by "our Ambassadors and other repre-
sentatives of our Government"
In mentioning the Kings proposed
marriage to an American divorcee. /"
the resolution referred to Edwards
friend, Mrs. Wallis Simpson, Cannon
said. Her name was not used directly
in the lengthy document he had pre-
pared.
Chief reason given by Cannon for
the proposed boycott was that Eng
land Is defaulting debtor to the
United States" and "a debtor has no
right to waste huge sums of money for
needless display and harmful propa-
ganda without even attempting to pay
his debts"
THE marriage Of the King of Eng
land is of no moment to u.s." the res
olution asserted, "and the fact that he
marries a former American citizen Is
likewise Of no significance"

he and Mrs Bernice Heffner and c. L.

CUBAN OFFICIALS
RUM IS DELAYED
Lies on Norfolk Dock Await.
ing Decision on Legal
TechnicaIities.

A shipment of rum consigned to
the Cuban consul at Norfolk, Va, has
been shunted by the technicalities of
various codes of law into the NO
mans Land" first described by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, where the limits of
the State and Federal jurisdictions
are hazy and indistinct.
Wanted, but untouched, it lies on
the express company dock at Norfolk
while the consul, Senor Cesar A. Bar
ranco, protests and G. Stanley Clarke,
assistant attorney general attached
to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, cites the law prohibit
ing shipment Of alcoholic spirits into
the State except to the board or by
its permit.
From his Office in Richmond, Clarke
explained that this is merely repeti-
ton of a similar incident last year.
when the consul received shipment
Of liquor IN December.
Consular Corps Not Included.
Seeking a ruling from the State
Department on the case then, Clarke
said he. was advised that members
Of the Cuban diplomatic corps were
permitted to receive alcoholic bev-
erages, but that members of the con-
sular corps were not included in the
diplomatic classification. Barranco
had claimed immunity from Virginia
statutes as q member of the "diplo-
matte corps under provisions of a
treaty between the United States and
Cuba
Clarke said he permitted the ship
ment last year because it was so near
Christmas and he didn't want to de-
prive the Consul Of the liquor with the
holiday season approaching.
When another shipment appeared
this year, however. Clarke said he
would decline to issue permit for re-
ceipt of the rum without q specific
ruling on the case from the State De-
partment.
1926 Treaty Is Cited.
Barranco protested to the Cuban
Embassy. The Cuban Embassy no
titled the State Department of his pre-
dicament, pointing out that q treaty
signed in Havana April %, 1925, per-
mitted, among other things, that
Consuls in Cuba and Cuban
Consuls in America might import
duty-free liquor for their personal re-
quirements.
