COURT RULING
MAY ANSWER
AAA RIDDLE

International News Service
After casting about for more
than a year, in an effort to find
means Of deriving revenue for the
farm programs to replace the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration processing taxes, lost
through the Supreme Courts ad-
verse decision more than a year
ago, the AAA today was consider
ing tax means practically
dumped in its lap by the supreme
Court.
The AAA program will cost
about 100000 for the fiscal
year ending June 80. Under the
AAA, processing taxes brought in
almost enough to pay for AAA's
rental and benefit payments to
farmers under the control plan.
Since the Supreme Court held
AAA processing taxes unconstitu-
tional in January 1896, all agricul-
tural program costs have been
coming out of general Treasury
funds, with no compromising rev.
enue, except for what increase in
general taxes increased farm pros
pegity may have Melted.
Way Out Seen
The Supreme Court ruled that
the processing taxes were unconst1-
tutional because, while imposed
apparently as revenue taxes, their
real purpose was to provide q
means for production control.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace and his legal aides have been
studying various proposals for
more than a year, in an effort to
find a way to provide revenue to
meet the cost of the soil conserva-
ton program.
Then the Supreme Court in
handing down its decision, holding
the National Fire Arms Act Of
1884 constitutional, stated the
court had no authority to question
Congress purpose in imposing
taxes for revenue.
Tax on Excess
The proposal now being most
closely studied is to fix production
quotas for farmers and to levy a
tax on excess produce.
Thus If AAA program makers de-
cided that farmer John Smith
should raise only 10000 bushels of
wheat, and he produced 10000
bushels, tax would be levied on
the surplus. A Wallace spokesman
said:
"Such a method would provide
the fourth step Of Secretary
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-01

WaHlace's ever-normal granary
plaza means Of production
control"
The first step of the program is
continuation of the Soil ConServa-
ton Act; the second step, commod-
ity loans: the third step, storage of
commodities from years of big pro
duction until lean years come, and
the fourth step, production con-
troll.
The AAA program as voluntary
on the part of the farmer. The ex-
cess production tax would be arbi-
trary. Quotas of farmers would be
fixed by their county committees
and the government would i'm.
pose the tax.
