The stage had all been set for “fa vorite sons” in Ohio and elsewhere, to permit a “trading basis” at the na tional convention in Cleveland. Senator Borah objected to that. The “favorite son” states could swing enough votes to nominate Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas. Now Senator Borah will fight a bat tle royal with the regulars, and try to prevent the choosing of “favorite sons” in such big states as Ohio.

O PAGES O TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY Administration Studies Fields for Money to Fi nance Old and New Farm Programs NEW PROCESSING TAXES INCLUDED Would Be Called “Excise” Levy on Processing of Farm Commodities; Retroactive Excess Profits or Special Income Tax Would Go After Refunded Money Washington. Feb. 11 (AP) Tax sources estimated to pro vide for $500,000,000 to $900,- 000,000 annually today were re ported under consideration by administration experts for re venue to finance the new farm program and pay the old AAA’s obligations. In canvassing sources for revenue, it was learned that, three particular fields are receiving attention: 1. Enactment of exercise taxes on processing of farm commodities, to raise about $-160,000,000. 2. Enactment of other taxes to raise from $230,000,000 to $250,000,000 3. Enactment of retroactive excess profits or special income taxes to re cover from processors the $200,000,000 in impounded taxes returned to man ufacturers under the Supreme Court ruling in the rice millers case. Which or what combination of these would be selected finally was not known. Authoritative quarters said the ad ministration probably would center its attention upon the excise taxes. The recommendations were reported to be prepared lor use of congression al committees. The"'excise taxes, following closely in form the new invalidated pro cessing taxes, were reported design ed to become a permanent levy to serve as the “farmer’s tariff” to meet the cost of the soil conservation pro gram . While scores of suggestions con cerning the excise tax rates were said (Contained on Pace Thr«et. FDR Takes Delegation In Illinois Washington, Feb. 11. —(AP) —While developments in Chicago pointed to day to a primary contest in Illinois between Senator Borah and Colonel Frank Knox for the Republican pre sidential nomination, Democratic spokesmen asserted here that Presi dent Roosevelt was assured of the State’s entire delegation at the Demo cratic convention. Announcement by Edgar J. Cooke, head of the Liberal Republican Voters League, that he would enter Borah’s name in the Illinois primary April 14, confirmed reports here that the sen ator soon would expand his field again. A prospect of Borah invading the home-State of his prospective rival, Knox, intrigued politicians and stir red speculation over the plans of Gov ernor Alf M. Landon, of Kansas. While the Republican battle lines were forming for the Illinois primary, Patrick A. Nash, Democratic national committeeman from, that State, as serted here that Illinois would send 58 Roosevelt-pledged delegates to the national convention Jin Philadelphia.
