rect taxation schemes have been
evolved by Senator Wheeler of Mon

The three. measures authorize the
agriculture secretary to fix the al
lotment that wheat, rice and cotton
farmers may grow, and to pay these
producers by certificates on the a.
mounts they market. The certificates
IN turn, must be paid for by flour
and rice millers and cotton manu-
facturerS when they sell the process
ed goods to the ultimate user. Thus
the certificate becomes a tax on each
pound OF flour and rice and each yard
of cotton which finds It's way to the
consuming public. The burden is
limited only by the needs of the con-
