A VERY SERIOUS DECISION
(Reprint from the Richmond News Leader July )7) '
The agricultural adjustment act. which two of a bench of three
federal judges' yesterday in Boston held unconstitutional,, owes its pe
culiar form to the inability of the advocates' of farm relief to agree -on
a specific congressional policy. All insisted that something had to' be 'away with a coal mine policeman

. Screened to a large part under
ground in the interior of one of
Western Pennsylvania's greatest
coal mines, ''Black Fury" shows
with startling fidelity? the dangers
and hazards encountered hourly
by those Intrepid men to, whom
death is a constant companion.
Muni has the role of Joe Badek,
a burly Slav miner who has' ar
ranged to buy a farm on which
ho : expects to live ' with Anna, a
neighbor's daughter. Anna, the role
portrayed by Karen Morley, runs
level. How this was to be accomplished by congress was a matterof
hot contention. The final decision was to enact a law' broad enough
in its terms to permit the secretary of agriculture to employ any or
all or any combination of the various devices proposed for the curtail
ment of production and the betterment of agricultural prices. --r..- 'V;'
', - - '
Drawn in this spirit, the act of May 12, 1933, vested the largest
discretion! in the secretary of agriculture on the assumption that the
undisputed existence of a very serious emergency justified drastic taJt
. ation. The secretary, under this so-called agricultural adjustment act
though that was hot its official title was authorised to rent farm
land or to pay farmers for reducing acreage or "to buy, their excess
products for resale. As thi, of cours', involved ah enormous outlay,
the secretary was empowered to levy processing taxes. Ranging as high
as 30 cents a bushel for wheat, these taxes were Imposed on, the miller
or manufacturer and, were paid back to the farmers who were oper
ating under the government plan of control. To date, more than 900,
000,000 have been paid in process taxes which, of course, have been
passed on to the consumer The secretary of agriculture has had the
' extraordinary power, never before entrusted to a cabinet' officer, of
saying whether and how a crop should be a processing tax, what its
amount should be, how. long it should operate7 and how it should be
modified, raised or lowered at any time. ; , . , : ' ". ;: ; '; i
- , Doubt concerning the constitutionality of this system was ex
pressed from the first, by many able lawyers, and Araa increased by the
unanimous decision of the United States supreme court in the New
York poultry case. Although the judgment of the circuit court in
Boston was of course subject to review, it was awaited with much
anxiety. - Vy.

Swayed by the agitators, the

ally a tax, it is direct and, under Section 2 of Article I of the consti-
tutlon, must be apportioned among the states. If it be held that the j
,v charge is an excise, then it is not uniform as required by the con
uytution. "The Issue," the court concluded, "is . . . whether congress
has any power to cdntrol or regulate matters left to the states and
(to) lay a special tax for that purpose."
That is formfdable logic' It seta, a barrier along almost every
road that congress is attempting to follow in the amendment of AAA.
Carefully as some of those amendments have been drawn, we do not
see how several of them can overcome the objections of the circuit
court. And if both the original and the amended AAA are Unconsti
tutional, the nation is confronted with a situation quite different from
that which existed when NRA was overthrown by the court NRA had
about accomplished its purpose. ; Other methods of reemployment
could be substituted for It AAA, on the contrary, is distinctly "in be
ing," and nothing is at hand to take its place in restoring to the agri
cultural population the economic parity to which It is entitled. ". V
It is possible, W course, that as the amended AAA will be on the
statute-books before the present case gets to the supreme court, an
other long delay may occur. The law, in fact, may be amended again
and again, if the emergency continues, in order to keep one step ahead
of the court But that surely is an anomalous situation for the ex
ecutive and legislative branches of government, at the instance of a
large economic class, to be conspiring by amendment as it ware, to
circumvent the judicial arm. ' :f f. f ; , - . , , , ,t
Mention of the large economic class affected bv the law brines
us to the most serious of all the questions raised by the decision. When
imka went down, the New Dealers were humiliated and some under
privileged elements in industry were grieved, but te country did not
weep. Were Mr. Roosevelt to make a fight for a basic chance in the
constitution, in order simply to give him control over burs'and wages
unaer a new mKA, he would be defeated.. But if the armv of office-
holders and of industrial workers who had something to gain by NIRA
is recruited by the -millions of farmers who think AAA will help them
what then? The principle of the devisibn of the load of government
