THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1936
It is now probable that Con
gress may raise the money for
the payment of the bonus by
the issuance of “baby bonds ’
that will be for that direct pur
pose. Baby bonds are bonds of
small denominations. It is
' thought that they will be in de
ominations of SSO.
All who are entitled to share
in the bonus will be paid in
! bonds. If they care to they can
cash the bonds at their face
value, or they can hold them
and get three percent interest.
• It is thought that many veter
ans would prefer to hold their
bonds rather than to cash
them in at once.
, This plan would lesson the
possibility of currency infla
tion. The plan is good in that
the money now on hand with
' the government will not be sub
jected to further strain.
All Americans are afraid of
inflation. They have seen what
! happened to other countries
who tried it on a large scale.
By the use of these bonds, not
L as much ready cash would be
• required. Thousands of veter
i ans would rather keep the bond
than to get the money when
• they didn’t need it. All would
feel secure in that they could
cash the bonds in when they
needed them. It would be like
money in the bank.
We understand there is no
longer an AAA organization,
i Much has been said about the
Supreme Court’s recent decision
that meant death to the organi
zation. Much has been said
about what is to be done in
order to replace the AAA with
something else that will solve
the problem.
Frankly, we don’t understand
half of what we have read con
cerning the decision of the Su
preme Court. We have been to
Washington and heard others
talk about the matter and don’t
’ yet. know very much more.
Here are a few of the import
ant facts that w-ere established.
Taxes for Agriculture. “The
Agricultural Adjustment Act
... is a statutory plan to regu
late and control agricultural
production . . . From the accept
ed doctrine that the United
States is a Government of dele
gated power, it follows that
those not expressly granted, or
reasonably to be implied from
such as are conferred, are re
served to the States or to the
people.
To forestall any suggestion to
the contrary, the 10th Amend
ment was adopted. The same
proposition, otherwise stated,
is that powers not granted are
prohibited. None to regulate
argicultural production is given
agricultural production is given,
wid therefore' legislation by
Congress for that purpose is for
bidden.
“It is an established principle
that the attainment of a pro
hibited end may not be a ac
complished under the pretext
of the exertion of powers which
are granted . . . Resort to the
taxing power to effectuate an
end which is not legitimate, not
within the scope of the Consti
tution, is obviously inadmis
sible.”
It was also pointed out that
the Department of Agriculture
was using the AAA to coerce
the farmers into signing the
agreement It was coercion by
economic pressure. AAA’s sys
tem of crop contracts was un
' constitutional because the sys
tem was, in effect, the use of
force on farmers. It was furth
er pointed out that it was a
scheme for purchasing with Fed-
eral funds submission to Feder
al regulation of a subject re
served to states.
That Congress cannot invade
state jurisdiction to compel in
dividual action; no more can it
purchase such action.
To be brief the AAA was
found to be illegal because pro
cessing taxes are a misuse of
taxing power. If you do away
with processing taxes AAA is
still illegal because its system
of crop contracts is the use of
economic coercion. Eliminate
the compulsion feature and the
AAA is still illegal because
benefit payments become bribes
offered by the government to
gain illegal power.
