Speculate on P. R.'a Reaction Speculation flared aa to whether President Roosevelt might aeelc re election on a platform of sweeping constitutional change, j Political observers agreed there would be considerable support In the , farm belt for a constitutional amend ,; ment authorizing resumption of the flow of benefit checks. t Some suggested an effort might be made to swing this sentiment behind a broad amendment giving the gov ernment specific power over Industry as well aa farming. But there was no Immediate word of any kind from the White House. The president's comment at the death of NRA, that it had taken the country back to "horse and buggy" days, and his more recent assurances that the farm program would go on In some form, were recalled at the capltol. I In his annual message Friday night j he told the congress It could find means to protect Its prerogatives. Issue Kept Alive Since the Roosevelt "horse and buggy" comment, Mr. Roosevelt hss been careful to refrain from discuss ing the possibilities of changing t:-ie constitution. Administration spokes men have kept the Issue constantly alive in speeches over the country, however, contending the people have right to change the basic lav ' whenever they wish. If the fsrm aid legislation were valid, Roberts said. In the majority opinion. It would be possible for con gress "to regulate industry in its most meticulous forms." Speculation how the presidential campaign would be affected stirred Instantly when the news reached the capltol. Legislators turned In pri vate from the business of the mo ment, examination of the 1936-87 New Deal budget to mull over the possibilities. -Republican determination on farm plunk alternatives long had been awaiting the supreme court attitude. Walt New Deal Move What the New Deal would do was awaited eagerly. Secretary Wallace reserved com ment. It was Indicated there would not be any Immediately from the admin istration. Councils of war were called. President Roosevelt learned of the turn but also had nothing to say. Roberts said the farm plan was "not In essence voluntary." "It had a compulsory purpose," he necisrea. "If the Sft railed onlv tnr . tmltm- ' tary plan it would be no better." Presumably, the government will seek to find a way to pay approxi mately $600,000,000 due on contracts still unpaid. Federal lawyers have Indicated be lief these can be considered binding governments! obligations. It remains to be worked out, however. ' Wallace I'nniovrfl Watched through a partially open ooor, secretary Wallace did not change his expression as he glanced at the fateful message, laid It aside and continued his discussion with visitor. Roberts said tlis AAA amendments enacted last August made no differ ence as congress could not ratify something it did not have the power to ao originally. "Congress might redistribute the entire Industrial population If this act were upheld." he said seriously rns united States government coma destroy local self government. as soon as he finished Justice Stone read the dissenting opinion. "The present stress of widely held and strongly expressed dlfierence of opinion of the wisdom of the Agri cultural Adjustment Act makes 11 Important, In the Interest of clesr thinking and sound result," he said, "to emphasize at the oulset certain propositions which should have con tlolllng Influence In determining the validity of the act. "They are: 1. The power of courts to declare a latin unconstitutional i, subject to ta-o guiding princlplea of decision which ought never to be absent from Judicial consciousness. Power In Kriai t I. Kvie "One la that courts are concerned only with the power to enact statutes not with their wisdom, 'The other la that while tlp.constl tutlonal exercise of power by the executive and legislative branchra of the government Is subject to Judicial restraint, the only chek upon our own exercise of power la our own sense of self-restraint. "Por the removal of unwise laws from the statute bvioks sppeal lies not to the court but to the ballot and to the processes of democratic government. "1. The constitutional power of congress tc Irvy an excise tax upon the proccMh-.g of agricultural pro ducts la not questioned. The announced goal of the AAA had been to give farmers "parity prices for their products. parity prices were considered those which would enable the farmers to buy now the amount of manufac- tu.-ed goods they could have boucht with the cash their crops brought in on the average between Woo and J8U. Parity prices also were described as the rair firlj.n,, value." ialn In Parity hhosn A recent AAA compilation ahoa-ed prlcea received by farmers for their l-ronucts was averaging 80 per cent of parity. This was a gain of eight per cent over the same dste In 1934. The AAA attempted. It was said, to make benellt payments which, added to the farm values for crops, would give the farmera a parity price in come for their labors.

Hogi, rated, at 106 per cent In Oc tober, were 94 per cent; cotton, 74 per cent; wheat, 80 per cent; corn, 70 per cent and rye, 46 per cent. Only today President Roosevelt In formed congress he waa removing AAA from "emergency" statu to that of a regular government activity. In his budget, he asked appropriation of v4O0.OOO.OOO to carry it through the fiscal year beginning July 1, Huge Sum to Finmers Since May 1033, over $1, 127.000.000 hea been paid fnrmcra for crop ad justment. The corn-hng program was most expensive, amounting to 378,000,000. Meat packers, wheat millers and cotton spinner paid In about two thJrds of the process! net taxes." The lajit figures allowed hrg levies collect ed were 267.3I6,306: cotton $343, 130.304, and wheat. 247.228.74S. Sugar taxes were H0,203,559; to bacco 80.380.032; Jut and paper, 12.735,802; corn, $11,86,473; peanut 3.087.850; rice 1M.075; ryo. 9I2tli), and unclassified, 171,653. Cotton ginning taxes collected un der the Bnnkliend act were 1.158,051. and tobacco sales taxea, collected under the Kerr-Smith act, 3, 510.001. 1 Officials estimated that over 150.- i 000.000 in processing taxes now were Impounded in the courts under in junctions granted since Inst aprlnp. These funds now evidently will be returned to those who sued. Alters New Deal Kecorri The momentous decision altered the record of the New Deal before the highest tribunal. NRA lost out In the spring unani mously. The oil control section of the recovery act was tnvnlidnted eight to one, the vail pension plan failed by five to tout; and the Invali dation of the gold payment In pri vate contracts won only by the mar gin of one. In addition, the Frwler-Leinko farm mor'Rnge moratorium which the president sinned although he had not pro-posed it was ruled against unanimously. All nine juatlcea held Mr. '.oosevclt went beyond the law in summarily dlsmlMing the late William Humphrey from the tr..de commission. FLORENCE N. MAY MA Yi f Sunday, aft ture plan, the equalization fee ve toed twice by President Coolidge and the domestic allotment plan. "None of these require processing taxes, acreage control or benefit payments and all are constitutional in my opinion," McNtv.-y said. PORTLAND, Jnn. 6. (AP) J. Mason Dlllnrd. chle? assistant Unit ed Stntes attorney for Oregon, said today the ruling of the United States supreme court that the AAA is unconstitutional, probably will cause the government to confess Judgment In the 14 suit Instituted in court here by processors of meat, wheat and paper to enjoin collection of AAA processing taxea aggregating about one million dollars. Dillard ald the supreme court's action apparently ended all possi bility of defending the Injunction actions In this frderal court. At torneys for the processors said the decision coincided squarely with their contentions. Iiega sources said the ruling would result in a neat profit for those processing companies which Instituted Injunction actions and held up payment of their processing taxes. Their bonds agreeing to pay the taxes in event the law was found constitutional, doubtless will be returned Intact. It was believed that thov pro cessors who paid their taxes without protest will simply be out of pocket that much, even though the law under which the money was paid wns unconstitutional.

It warned congress that passage of the soldier bonus bill or any other measure draining funds from the treasury wouVi require Imposition of new tares. 8. It indicated a record national debt of $31,351,000,000 at the end of 1837, not including the deficit cre ated by any relief appropriation. Credit Is High. Reviewing ac?omplshmeTits of his 4 months in office, the president re ported: That government credit Is "at its highest." That federal finances are t their best condition In seven years. Tha private Industrial employment has shown substantial Increase. That no new taxes will be neces sary under present new deal policies. Mr. Roosevelt recommended ; 1. Repeal of lat session's AAA amendment earmarking 30 percent of customs receipts to encourage export and consumption of farm products. The amendment, estimated to appor tion up to $100,000,000 from the treas ury's general funds, violated sound administrative practice, the president said, and set undesirable precedent In earmarking revenue. i 3. Amendment of the potato con- trol act, from which no appreciable i revenue was expected, so as to exempt the purchaser of bootleg potatoes from prcnecutlon, and to lncreane in dividual tax exempt quotas from five to 50 bushels. 3. Legislation to permit transfer of appropriation -within any single department so as to achieve flexi bility. 4. A law bringing all agenciea of the government. Including gover, ment owned and government con trolled corporations, under the auth ority of the director of the budget, Work Relief Not Included. "To run all the regular activities of the government (in 1937) I will need a total of 5. ,000 ,000." Mr. Roose velt aald. "These regular aotivltlea Include Interest on the public debt, major public works, operations of the C.vlllan Conservation corps, and ag rlcultural benefit payments, but do not Include strictly work relief items. "I expect to pay for these regular activities with ct;! mated receipts of $5,654,000,000, leaving an excess of reoeipta of $585,000,000. Out of this $583,000,000 I will need $580,000,000 for debt retirement, which will still leave $5,000,000 of excess receipts over expenditures after having paid for a.-l the regular expenditures of the gov ernment plus debt retirement. "The item for relief remains. With out that Item the budget la In bal ance. To make today a formal bud get estimate of the amount neces sary for work relief would be of neces sity a difficult task. We have too recently reached our goal of putting three and one-half million people to work; and the beneficial effects from this p.ogram and from Increasing ex penditures on public works cannot be foretold as accurately today as it can two months from now. Further more, employment by private Indus try continues to show substantial gains over the figures of a year ago. Work Relief Need Cut. "It Is estimated In this budget that expenditures for recovery and relief out of unexpended balances of pre j vlous emergency appropriations will amount to $1,103,000,000. Including! these expenditures the gross deficit I for 1937, without an estimate for ad ditional work relief, it is less than the gross deficit for 1931 by $2,139, 000.000. I do not anticipate that the need for additional relief funds will be as great as that sum." For national defense the pa el dent asked congress to appropriate a total of $995,007,704. an Increase of ap proximately $300,000,000 over last year's budget. He asked $551,308,399 for the navy and $443,099,305 for the war department. Mr. Roosevelut's Inclusion of the AAA and CCC among regular activities means that he believes the success of these undertakings Justifies their permanent continuance. He asked $24e000,000 for the CCC from March 31 1936, to March 31, 1937, and $499,054,985 for ?.he AAA for the entire 1937 fiscal year. Of the estimated national debt at the end of the 1937 fiscal year Mr. Roosevelt said: "It Is estimated tha the gross pub lic debt on June 30, 1937, will amount to $31,351,638,737, as compared with an estlmatde debt June 30, 1936. of $30,933375.017. The figure for 1037 does not include such amounts for work relief during the coming year as may be determined by congress." Annual Deficits uwlndle. The message emphasized the dwin dling of annual deficits but at the same time showed that the national debt has doubled In six years from $15,000,000,000 in 1930 to $30,000,- 000.000 In 1936. Mr. Roosevelt pre sented this picture of reducing an nual deficits: In 1934 3.929,000.000. In 1935 $3,575,000,000. In 1936 (3.234.OO0.0OO (estimated). In 1937 $1,098,000,000 (estimated but not including any new appropri ations for work, relief). Mr. Roosevelt recommended appro priations for 1937 totaling $6,400,- 000,000, including probably supple mental items estimated at $600,000. 000. This represents an increase of $1,254,000,000 over the appropriations for 1930, exclusive of the $4,000,000,- 000 relief fund voted last year. "This Increase," he said, "la due to (1) additional appropriations amount ing to approximately $610,000,000, in cluding supplemental to be submit ted later, required to finance new legislation enacted at the last session of congress: (2) An appropriation of $244,000, 000 to continue the operations of the Civilian Conservation corps ; (3) an increase in specific appropria tions of $187,000,000 on account of general public works; and (4) In creases In the g'.-neral departmental requirements aggregating approxl-' mately $211,000,000. due largely to1 the Increases In army, navy and the' department of agriculture." The president said developments since March, 1933, had proved the fundamental soundness of his pol icies. "We can loos forward today to a continued reduction of deficits, U in creased tar receipts and to declining expenditures for the needy unem ployed," he said.
