THE AAA DECISION

1t is unfortunate that by the same
action in declaring the AAA uncon-
stitutional, the Supreme Court would
not have put the veto on the tariff,
is the opinion of the Harrisburg, Pa,
Patriot. While perhaps constitu-
tionally unlike, the tariff and the
AAA are as similar economically as
two peas in a pod. Both are design
ed to tax the many for the benefit of
the few. The AAA was simply old
fashioned tariff doctrine applied to
agriculture as we'll as industry. Be-
fore the bar of economics, both would
be ruled.
Ever since the American farmer
awoke to the discrimination he suf-
fered from the tariff on the goods he
bought, he has demanded that If the
industrialist was to have protection
to keep prices up, then, by gum, the
farmer was going to have his own
products protected. Under Presi-
dent Hoover and his professors at
tempts were made to accomplish this
purpose. If failed until the AAA
idea with its processing taxes was
involved.
The most disappointed man in the
Country is not President Roosevelt
and his New Deal counsellors, how
ever sincere they are, but the farm
er who looked upon his AAA check
with the same fondness the manu-
facturer revels in the profits made
possible by the tariff. 1t is the
farmer who will seek to neutralize
as much as possible the Supreme
Court decision and demand some
remedial action from Congress.

HIGHWAY SAFETY PROBLEM

Limitation of motor vehicle speed
by mechanical means is not the
answer to the highway safety prob
lem, in the opinion of engineers of
the Keystone Automobile Club of
Maryland.
In reply to recent proposals of
safety advocates to put governors on
motor vehicles limiting top speed to
so miles per hour, Garrison P. Knox,
Manager of the Club, declared that
the governor belongs in the brain
Of the driver-not in the carburetor
of his motor"
Pointing out that many more acct
dents occur at speeds under SO miles
per hour than are recorded at speeds
in excess of that rate, he said that
limitation of speed by mechanical
means can become an important fac
tor in traffic accident reduction "only
through the imposition of such
drastic restrictions that the useful
ness of the motor car would be de-
stroyed."
ION the surface" he continued,
"a definite speed limitation might
seem desirable, but the fallacy is at
once apparent when the subject is
carefully studied. High speed-that
is so to 80 miles per hour-is not a
major cause of traffic accidents. True,
when accident occurs 10 a vehicle
travelling at such speed the results
are disastrous, but the great majority
of accidents happen to vehicles
travelling at much more moderate
speed.
Speed too fast for conditions is
the greatest single cause of traffic
accidents. A rate of 80 miles per
hour where a 40-mile rate is per-
missable can be. and often is, too
fas. for the conditions existing at
the moment. Similarly, an operator,
observing a 20-mile limit may be
driving entirely too fast.
Putting governors on cars to
limit their speed 10 50-mile maxi
mum would have practically no effect
on accidents in cities and towns, be-
cause, with few exceptions, accidents
in built-up areas are not due 20 speed
equaling or exceeding SO miles per
hour, but to failure Of the human
mechanism properly to appraise con-
ditions and act always with good
judgment"

SUITS OVER PROCESSING. TAX


Throwing out the AAA failed to
decided who paid the processing tax,
and who should get back the $780,
100000 of it impounded by federal
courts pending the outcome of the
whole legal controversy.
The processing tax was the means
adopted for financing benefits to
farmers who had voluntarily restrict
ed their production of specified
products.
On Monday the Supreme Court
made more trouble for the Roosevelt
administration, and complicated mat
tiers still worse by ruling that $780,
100000 Of processing taxes impound-
ed by the courts must be returned to
the taxpayers, refused to pass on the
validity of the Bankhead cotton act
at this time and adjourned without
ruling on the constitutionality of the
Tennessee Valley authority act.
The tax decision did not go into
whether professors had to prove
they had not passed the tax on to
consumers before they could recover
a main point at issue. The decision
was unanimous.

FARMERS FACE JOB OF RE-
PLACING AAA

The Supreme Courts decision
rendering the AAA unconstitutional
again places before Congress The
problem of equalizing the handicap
placed on agriculture by an industrial
tariff, in the opinion of c. E. Wise,
Jr., secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation. This problem
has been before the country almost
constantly since the first postwar
depression of 1921, says the Fedora
TONS secretary. It's temporary So
luton through the AAA led the way
to recovery by increasing farm pur-
chasing power by approximately
three billion dollars, and this in
crease is now beginning to show its
full effect on industrial recovery, he
believes.
while the decision is thought OF
primarily as affecting agriculture
which will feel it's first effects, il is
of just as great Importance to indus
trial and financial interests" says Mr.
Wise Wages paid labor and manu-
facturers' profits followed The decline
in farm income downward in the
early days of the depression, and
started upward only after AAA
coupled with effects of the drought
brought an increase in farm buying
power.
Immediate effects of the decision
on Maryland farmers can only be dis
covered when announcement is made
as to what arrangements will be
made in regard to control contracts
now in effect. More than 10000
farmers Of Maryland have been paid
we'll over a million dollars each OF
the past two years. Organized farm
ers face the task of drawing up a
program for replacing the AAA and
lighting for it's adoption.

The banking system in this coun-
try will not be ideal until some plan
is worked out whereby no depositor
need ever lose dollar because of a
failed bank. Whether this be done
by government insurance, by all
loans being amply secured, or by each
bank building up a surplus sufficient
ly large to protect every deposit, is
not important. The time is not far
distant in this country when barring
dishonesty within, bank failures will
become unknown. That such con-
dition does not exist generally al
ready is reproach to our intelli-
gence.

At the beginning of 1885 or
seventy years after the Civil War
there were 15,647 Civil war veterans
and 106,901 of their widows and de-
pendents on the pension rolls. There
were also five widows of the war of
1912. This furnishes a suggestion
Of how long it takes to pay for war,
though the payment of pensions by
no means represents the whole cost
Of war. 1t is estimated that pay
ment of pensions to survivors and
dependents of the World War will
continue until around 2O55.

CORN-ON-THE-COB

GORN-ON-THE-COB all year
~ round well, that has been
pretty much the dream of Ameri-
cans. For 1t Is only in America
that the growing, cooking and
serving Of corr -on-the-cob is done
to perfection. A native of this
country, corn finds its best roots
in its native soil, flourishes best in
it's sunshine-and, boiled to just
the right degree when it is fresh
picked from the stalk, served pip
ing hot with butter and salt-it is,
indeed, something to dream about.
The recent method of packing
under vacuum has made possible
fresh-from-the-field corn all year
round. 1t Is packed without water,
the only liquid being the juice of
the corn which is held intact in
the plump kernels, just as 1t is
when you eat it ont on the farm.
In fact, Gamers have conscien-
tiously adhered to the old farm
er's adage-have the water boil
ing while the corn is being picked
In this way there is no chance for
the sweet succulence of the kerr
nels to become dried out before 1t
is cooked.

GOVERNOR CROSS
 LAUDS NEW DEAL
Roosevelt Moving Toward Balanced Budget Says
 State Executive

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 10-(UP)- Gov. Wilbur L. Cross believed to. day the New Deal may balance the budget by 1888.
 "He who runs," the governor said in a broadcast last night, may, see that President Roosevelt is moving rapidly towards balanced budget by the increase of national income from the revival of business.
 Ut was his hope when he un- balanced the budget that 1t could be put into balance in the course of a few years, perhaps by 1886 or 1887. A delay has been occasioned by floods, drouths and the soldiers bonus.
 "In spite of this, there is a good prospect of balanced budget not later than 1938."
 T have been warned" Gov. Gross said, "by republicans candidates for office that in this election state is- sues are going to be subordinated to national issues.
 "If, for example, the so-called New Deal is not squelched there will be no milk problem which now concerns intimately the great maj ority of farmers, as well as our children and all others who rely upon milk and cream as an essen- tial part of their diet.
 "Why no milk problem?
 Because there will not be any more COWS to milk.
 That is, the New Deal will put an end to COWS as well as to you and me who cannot live except rn- der fictitious American system, which is but 8 disguise for the re- publican system" ...

INSPECTION LAWS
 PLAYED BY BROWN
G. 0. P. Gubernatorial Nominee Attacks Motor
 Vehicle Department
By GEORGE =. MORRIS, JR. Tinted Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Norwich, Conn, Oct. 10-(UP)- Republican Gubernatorial Nominee Arthur M. Brown today directed the loudest blast of his campaign to date against the state moto vehicles department, attacking the semi-an- nual inspection laws and the recent blue-law ruling relative to repairing by garages on Sundays.
 q am opposed to the semi-annual inspections" he declared, and l guess three-quarters of the automo- bile owners in Connecticut are against them"
 Asserting he was flor anything that will help reduce the toll of life on our highways" the candidate said the inspections mot only worked a hardship on verybody, bI1 had very little effect on the enormous num- Der of accidents. Any group of sta tistics one may turn to will give no more than four per cent of these ac- cidents to the cause of faulty equipment"
 He charged the inspections bill "emanated from the igh command of the motor vehicles department" :" and lon the final day ol the general assembly was taken from the table and slipped through"
 He proposed annual inspections, saying drivers now are continually harassed" by being compelled to wait in line ,r hours a. ti4e loss of pay, ito have their windshields dec orated with fancy colored stickers." 1"
 T realize" he continued, "that these inspections bring in quite a revenue and a number of jobs have been handed out, yet the means dc not always justify the end. Only re- gently the department talked ot placing the inspections in the hands of private garagemen. Even the garagemen themselves, at flew Ha- ven, went up in arms over this ap- parent racket and publicly de- nounced the plan, which was then abandoned. If elected governor, shall wield every influence to cor rect this situation by at least reduc- ing the inspections to an annual basis"
