Decision Doesn’t Hurt 1935 Tobacco Plans Commenting on two court cases in volving the constitutionality of the Kerr-Sniith Act, a prominent direc tor of the AAA tobacco progr calls attention to the fact that the final decision on the constitutionali ty of the Kerr-Smith Act will not affect the tobacco production adjust ment programs for 1935. The Kerr-Smith Act is, in effect, a supplementary measure, providing for a ta.x 011 the sale of tobacca pro duced by growers who are not par ticipating in the tobacco adjustment progr.ums. Processing taxes are col lected and benefit payments made under the authority of the Agrieul tiiral Adjustment Act, he said. Growers are advised not to make 1935 plans in anticipation of a court decision which would settle finally the issues involved with respect to the Kerr-Smith Act. AYliichever side might lose, the case wonld no doubt be referred to a higher court and it might be at least a. year before a final decision could be obtained.

It is pro out the country has or will get one of these “Prosperity Club, in God wo trust” letters. If asked what it's all about our re ply would be that we know as much as anyone—which, is nothing what ever—but lots of fools are destined to lose their dimes. But the reason so many of our people are taking chances at a fool proposition is that all of us like to gamble.

ELIMINATE WASTE 'riic only practical way to lighten the tax burden is to eliminate waste. And the most glaring example is in the adininistnUion of the various alphabetical agencies. It is a sheer waste of money to pay fanners to destroy cotton, when it is necessary to buy clothing for people on the re lief rolls. It is ratlier silly to pay a big far mer to “cut out” crop production,' j when it simply means that his share- I croppers will be added to the already 1 overburdened relief budget. Another prolific soarce of waste is involved in the relief adiniiiistrafioii. In many eases the cost of adminis tering relief equals or exceeds the amount paid the recipients. Surely there are plenty i9f capable men .and women on the relief rolls who conld administer the funds themselves. This would save the entire cost of the office and field ^s^^j^yf^iiiitgpniiel iMiiiiMP r nxi/innn uajinjojTjojTj iJiJTJTJxa; njop IVIfithfiHict r.hiirfih NfifpQ t 5 raciiiuuiM mmiuii mw!, p dan/jTJOJLrLaruannjTJTJxnjTJTnjTxirLairLra (Contrihuted.)
