PRICE FIVE CENTS vy Wheat Process Tax ADMINSTRATION 1S READY 10 ANNOUNCE — FARM HELP PROGRAM Aim of Measures on Breac Grain and Cotton Is to Cut Down Production STARTING DATE UNCERTAIN No Effort Will Be Made to Re- duce Volume of This Year's Cereal Crop (Copyright, 1933, By The Associated Press) Washington, June 15.—(#)—The ad- ministration intends to raise $250,000,- 600 by processing taxes on wheat anc cotton which it will levy at their max- imum size in a bold program aimed to better long-range farm prices by cut- ting down production. The government's plans provid. most of the sum will be used to re- ward farmers who agree to reduce their output in concert with the fed- eral drive to halt the piling up of surpluses, long a _ price-depressing Problem for growers of the two chief cash crops of the United States. President Roosevelt has approved a Program, devised under powers pro- | been based on grounds that the chair-jcredit agencies are preparing to pour | vided by the new farm act, which what to do preparatory to voting. President Roosevelt, meanwhile, discussed the alternatives at the white house with the two Republi- can authors of the amendment that is more expensive than the course advocated by him. What he had to say to Cutting of New Mexico and Steiwer cf Oregon was known only to the three, The leaders were out to have the Democratic representatives stand be- hind the president, prolonging the deadlock with the senate. If this turned out to be impossible, as ap- peared likely, it was known Roosevelt already had a succinct veto prepared and it was believed on the Hill to be ready—if necessary—to deliver it in person to a joint meeting of the two branches. The house met but an instant at 10 a. m., and recessed for the Démo- crats to gather. Representative Byrns, the party leader, termed the meeting a “conference” rather than a caucus, explaining it takes two-thirds of those present to bind the Democratic mem- | bership to vote under the caucus, while a majority suffices to express the sentiment of the membership un- der a conference. There was to be an effort to reach a vote in the house by early after- noon. Senate Vote Is 51 to 39 A 51 to 39 vote by the senate Wed- nesday night, insisting on placing the liberalizing Cutting-Steiwer amend- ment into the independent offices bill. forced the issue. Administration leaders were ready ‘© offer in the house a resolution which would renew the current year’s appropriations and allow the admin- \stration to spend what was necessary for veterans and other agencies not already provided for. This move carried a chance, but a slim one, of prampt adjournment. In the senate a band of some strength! was ready to attempt amending the resolution, just like the present bill, to put a curb on the president’s econ- omy reduction of veterans’ allow- ances. Expect Adjournment Soon ‘The president himself, tired and ready to leave Thursday night on his vacation, had said he would gtick here all summer if necessary and no- body around him doubted he would do so if necessary. Still there was no surrender of expectation the ad- journment would be reached before; long. Waiting for the veto message, the senate set itself to put through fi- nally the $3,600,000,000 appropriation ; for the recovery program, and after) that to debate the bill to authorize appointment of a mainland man as governor of Hawaii.

Prime Minister Hendryk Colijn, of Holland, who had been suggested as a compromise chairman of the mone- tary group, was elected to head the important economic committee. Secretary of State Hull, head of the American delegation, was at first con- sidered for this post but the Ameri- cans‘decided to concentrate on secur- ing the monetary chairmanship for Cox, ex-governor of Ohio and former presidential nominee of the Demo- cratic party. Stablization Planned A feature of the compromise, it was understood, was American agree- ment to stabilize the dollar with re- gard to the British pound and Eng- jlish financial quarters were inclined to the opinion that stabilization for {the duration of the world economic \conference virtually was accomplish- ed Thursday as the dollar steadied close to a quotation of $4.05 to the | Pound.

Is Held Acknowledgement Weeks of patient negotiation reach- ed their culmination in a presidential announcement of the British pay- ment, which the London government frankly asserted to be “an acknowl- edgement of the debt pending a final settlement.” Making it clear that he doés “not characterize the resultant situation as a default,” Roosevelt said he had granted an urgent British request for @ review of its existing debt agree- ment and had suggested to the Lon- don government it bring its proposals to Washington at a convenient date for discussion. the result to be laid a county w (Continued on Page Nine) be attached to such conference prob- jems as currency stabilization and (Continued on page four) Prosperity’s Return ' Speeds Divorce Mill | , 2 cn 2 Reno, Nevada, June 15.—(P)— Back in the headlines again, Reno is teeming and happy.

All other officers also were re-elect- These include Harrison Garnet, St. Thomas, vice president, and Har- old Nelson, Rugby, secretary-treasurer. The officers and the following will be the executive committee: J. W. Evans, Carson; P. J. Bottom, Sheyenne; Andrew Johnston, Watford City; Dr. R. R. Hogue, Linton. The group discussed valuation of farm lands and it was the sentiment! of those present there should be a re-| jduction in assessed valuations and necessary steps should be taken to re- duce them at least 20 per cent. There was a discussion on general topics among which was the sales or transaction tax. Regarding senate bill 315, passed by the last legislature, it was felt the amount of tax which would be produced was far in excess of the levy made to take care of the interest and sinking fund of state bonds; consequently it was not a re- placement tax but would impose an additional tax burden. Resolution Raps It A resolution expressing opposition to it was adopted. About 25 of the 53 counties in the state were represented. Resolutions adopted included: County officers were praised for their work. Recommended submission to voters of constitutional amendment to pro- vide for judges of district court to have jurisdiction of testaments, prop- erty and such other matters as are now committed to county court ex- ae if, in counties of 20,000, an option is granted to establish a county court with increased jurisdiction.

A compromise acreage cur- tailment program will be launched immediately for cotton, to take out as much as 10,000,000 acres of the crop now growing. No effort will be made to cut pro- duction of the wheat now nearing harvest. Winter-kill and bad weather lave cut the prospects for this crop cown to approximate domestic needs for the first time this century, al- though there is expected to be a car- ryover of about 360,000,000 bushels on {uty 1, beginning of the new market- ing year. The wheat program, how- ever, is to be put into effect on fall planting. Few Details Complete Wallace has completed details of both programs except for a few ele- ments still open. One, subject ta change, is the exact time the taxes will go into effect. The tax on cotton is expected to ba four cents a pound, that on wheat, 23 te 30 cents a bushel. If prices of either drop before collection of the tax begins, the rate could be boosted, while if prices rose as a result of the prospect of a smaller future supply, the tax could be smaller. The tax is to be collected on all cot« ton and wheat at the first point of processing, but it is to b refunded cn Processed commodities which are ex- ported. The acerage reduction program for cotton is aimed to retire one-fourth of the estimated planting of about 40,- 000,000 acres. Rentals will be paid to “lgrowers at rates varying around $6 an acre, depending on cost accrued to date and in addition growers will be ‘offered options on 2,500,000 bales of government-owned cotton at a prics below the current market. Would Produce Big Sum If the cotton crop is reduced to 10,- 000,000 bales as hoped by some admin- istrators, a four-cent tax would yielc $200,000,000 gross of which about o1 half would be refunded as normal that portion is exported. This would |leave a fund of $100,000,000 for finan- |cing acreage reduction in addition tc any sum drawn from appropriations of $200,000,000 authorized by congress for reducing acreages devoted to basic crops limited in the farm act. In the case of wheat, about 500,000,- 000 bushels is normally used to supply domestic needs for flour and other food products each year. A tax of 36 cents a bushel would yield $150,000,- 000. The wheat program contemplates employment of the domestic allotment plan with growers to be paid cash bonuses for agreements to reduce their acreage. Planting of winter wheat. which will begin in August, will be the first affected. The plan calls for part payment of this bonus when the agreement is drawn with the remain- der to be paid after verification that the farmer has fulfilled his agree- ments. In both cases a county administra- tion is being devised calling for the establishment of committee of farmers to put policing of the plan on a basis of self-interest as far as possible.
