Declaring that America is to-

mean that millions of families

HELPING
THE PACKERS

Landon's Trigger men are sending ont
thousands of blackboards to the packers
who in turn distribute them to the retail
butchers; these blackboards list prices of
various meat cuts and estimate the amount
that goes to pay taxes. The tax figures
are pure fiction, and are supported by no
evidence anywhere. The display says,
Don't blame your butcher meat. is low,
taxes are high. - ~-s - rs Res
The farmers know that the reason for
high meat prices is not high taxes but
monopoly profits by the packers. Last
year the Big Four showed, profit increases
of 81 to ia per cent By directing the
attack against taxes, Landon is condoning
the profits of the trusts and drumming up
sentiment for lower taxeslon the monopO-
lies. Lower taxes on the packers will not
bring down meat prices; when processing
taxes were refunded, the packers did not
share this windfan with the farmers and
city workers. r e "a sstfff fsF2@ p

following very conservative esti-
mate Of new homes needed: To
replace houses now not fit to live
in, 81 million; further replace
ment from 1886 to 1916, another
3A million; to provide for new
families who will start homes be-
tween now and 1916, nearly 6%
million; total, 13196,OO0 new
homes.
ITO keep up with the need them
we should build 100000 new
homes each year from now until
1915. This would be an unprece-
denied volume Of building, for the
largest number Of homes ever built
by private industry in one year
was $4,000 in 1928, and the aver
age for 1920 to 1929 was $4,000
yearly. In 1886 we built only
about 100000 new hemes."
Can private builders stIpply this
need? The survey proves that
they cannot, at least for low-in-
CONC workers. It says: II
"It is estimated that to build
new homes, either for rent or
sale, for families who have fn-
comes under $500 a year in
the North and West or ST, 200
in the South is not profitable.
The Comemerce Departments
Financial Survey Of Urban
Housing in 1888 showed that
twO-thirds of American FAM
lilies have incomes below this
newell. Even if prosperity
should lift workers incomes
to the 1929 level, 61e.third of
sill American families would
still be out Of tie running as
profitable customers Of the
building industry. This means
/ that private industry can pro-
vide OILY $50, 900 of the 1,S2O,-
600 new homes needed each
year."
GOVERNMENT
MUST HELP
Having clearly proved that pri-
vate initiative cannot meet the
problem, the survey boldly states
the issue as we'll as the solutions
'Are the other 44O, 600 fami-
lies to live in sltiTfs, OF shall

RULING ON AAA
CASESW0RRY
T0PRESIDENT
international News Service

international News service
The Roosevelt administration IS
worried over the possibility that
the Supreme Courts decisions in
two AAA cases may reach further
than had been anticipated.
This was disclosed today in the
wake Of White House conference
between President Roosevelt and
Administration and Congressional
leaders, including Attorney Gen
eral Homer Cummings.
The high courts latest action in
ordering refund Of 5000, 100000 Of
processing taxes, which had been
held up in lower Federal courts on
injunctions, was the cause Of the
chief worry of the Administration.
President Roosevelt invited the
attention of newspaper men to the
seriousness of the situation by re
ferring them to a Supreme Court
case cited by Solicitor General
Stanley Reed in his appeal for re-
hearing in the Rice Millers' case.
Cites Old Action
In this case, Reed asserted that
the high court more than 10
years ago, in the case Of Bailey
VS.. George, refused to enjoin col
lection Of the child labor tax, al
though on the same day it held
the law under which the tax was
levied unconstitutional.
But in the Rice Millers' case the
high court held the amended
AAA unconstitutional and released
taxes paid into courts in escrow
under injunction.
Reed cited a law of 1867-sec-
ton 1924 Of the revised statutes
which prohibited Federal courts
from enjoining the collection of
Federal taxes. He said that if
Federal taxes can be enjoined,
functions Of Government may be
impaired.
The court in its opinion in the
Rice MillerS' case did not discuss
The old Bailey VS.. George de-
cision.
Thus the Department of
Justices legal lights were unable
to tell President Roosevelt whether
the court has laid down a new
doctrine that lower courts can en-
join collection of Federal taxes.
Attorney General Cummings was
also unable to give the White
House conference, reliable sources
disclosed, an explanation of just
how far the Government can go in
a farm program under Justice
Roberts opinion in the original
AAA case.
Refund Is Feared
The action of the court in releas-
ing impounded funds in lower
courts has caused the Administra-
ton to worry over the possibility
that it may be forced to return
$1,000, 00O, 600 in processing taxes
already in the Treasury.
While Congress provided that
refunds should not be made if the
taxes were passed on to conSum-
ers, professors have attacked con-
stitutionality of the provision.
They hold that it cannot be
proved whether taxes were passed
on.
There is, high Administration
sources said, a possibility that
Congress may be asked to enact a
resolution withdrawing consent of
the United States to be sued for
the one billion dollars in taxes.
The House backed such a provision
last session but the Senate baked.
The Department of Justice, it
was said, is under instructions
from President Roosevelt to make
a close study Of all angles of the
situation and to be prepared to
report to him.
