Tho bill was $.1,854,543 under
this year's budget estimates.
Vniiou, new governmental ac
tivities were provided for In tho
bill. They have for the most pnrt
been running to a limited extent
on funds borrowed from regu
lur appropriations, aa a result of
tho lute Senator Iluey Long's fil

ON TAX RULE,
DECLARES F. R.
President Cites Verdict
Given in Earlier
Case,
OPINION OF 1867
HELD INVALIDATED
White House Agrees Up
on Two-Year Eeplace
ment for Triple-A.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. W
Shortly after agreeing on a new
two-year program to replace AAA,
President Roosevelt termed the
supreme court's refusal of a re
hearing in the processing tax case
an apparent reversal of an earlier
leading case in constitutional law.
Injunction Issne Contended
The president said he discussed
with administration leaders this .
afternoon the implications of the
court's action and their effect on
a" federal law which states that
no injunction shall be issued to
restrain the collection of any tax.
In deciding the Louisiana rice
millers case, a week ago, the su
preme court bad ruled that an
injunction to stop collection ot
processing taxes was justified be
cause the levy was an illegal "ex
action" and not a true tax.
The court implied that the un
constitutionality of the law made
the "exaction" not a tax.
No Conclusion Offered
The president referred to the
earlier case of Bailey vs. George,
In which be said the court held
that, although child labor taxes
were unconstitutional, an injunc
tion to Btop their collection was
barred by the federal law.
Mr. Roosevelt offered no flnaL
conclusion on the supreme .court
deck-ion except to say In response
to questions by reporters at his
press conference that the ruling
apparently reverses the stand
taken by the supreme, court in
upholding the right of congress to
levy taxes without restraint un
der the act of 1867.
DETAILS AGREED UPON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. UP
Details of a new two-year farm
program wore agreed upon today
by President Roosevelt and con
gressional leaders. Bills providing
necessary amendments to the soil
conservation act will be presented
immediately. ,
The new legislation will be in
troduced probably tomorrow by ,
Senator Bankhead (D-Ala) ana
Rep. Jones (D-Texas), -;. ,
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
the democratic leader, who an
nounced a final decision on the
legislation at the White House,
said that the question of new
taxes to replace the outlawed
processing levies was discussed
but no conclusions were reached.
Immediate Action Wanted
The conference of congressional
leaders. Secretary Wallace, At
torney General Cummlngs and
others was held shortly after Wal
lace broadcast a militant demand
"for practical and Immediate ac
tion" on the farm problem pre
sented by AAA's death.
The two year limitation on tho
new program was not explained
Immediately, but it loft the door
open to further teats by the su
preme court on the extent of fed
eral farm legislation.
Cummlngs said the problem ot
taxes was discussed "only inci
dentally" and would be worked
out "within two or three weeks"
by the treasury department and
justice department lawyers.
The attorney general said he
was "confident" some method can
be found to eliminate the "un
fairness" to those processors who
paid the processing taxes, rather
than securing injunctions to stop
collections. ,
Cummlngs expressed concern
over the supreme court's refusal
to review Its ruling against the
doctrine "pay first and t litigate
later." ,.
"If you once loose the right of
the lower courts to enjoin the
collection of federnl tnxea by in
