ashasaa° Tet tat EXPLAIN IN DETAIL FARMER'S DUTY IN © GOVERNMENT PLAN a Percentage of Acreage Reduc- tion Required Will Be An- nounced Aug. 24 ‘Washington, Aug. 7.—(?)}—Wheat farmers were told Saturday just what they are expected to do in the cam- paign to restore purchasing power, through regulations issued by the farm administration to govern distribution of up to $136,000,000 of federal funds. ‘Though the general plan had been outlined in a broad way previously, detailed regulations issued including copies of the contract through which the grower promises to reduce acre- age next year, told the story of what the farmers must do. The percentage of reduction is to be announced by Secretary Wallace Aug. 24, and will be governed by the result of the International wheat conference in London. It may be as high as 20 per cent of an individual grower’s “average annual acreage.” This country’s wheat farmers will receive not less than 28 cents a bushel on 456,198,588 bushels of wheat. The money is being raised through a pro- cessing tax of 30 cents a bushel on the millers or other processors of grain. The government printing office be- gan turning out 1,500,000 applications for the wheat adjustment contracts which are expected to be in the hands of the farmers within 10 days. Then the contracts will go out. M. L. Wil- son, chief of the wheat section of the farm administration, said that most of them were expected to be signed by Sept. 15. May Continue Plan While the specific acreage reduc- tion and the payments to be agreed upon this fall will cover wheat plant- ed for harvest in 1934, the contracts give Secretary Wallace what amounts to an option to utilize the same plan the next year. Growers who join in the plan may be required to make another acre- age reduction before planting their crop for harvest in 1935, in return for payments to be made on the allotment basis. Whether the plan will be em- ployed the second time will depend upon the supply and demand situa- tion as Wallace finds it in the sum- mer of 1934. If he continues the plan, he also will continue the processing tax. Payments this year are to begin about Sept. 15. The first payment will be 20 cents a bushel on the farm- er’s allotment. The second, not less than eight cents, will be made after Proof that the grower has fulfilled his agreement to reduce acreage. If the grower wants to participate in the program he becomes a member of this county wheat production con- trol association, which names county allotment committees composed of three members each, These committees determine the allotments for the individual farmer. ‘They do it on the basis of detailed Information furnished by the grower, which includes acres of wheat seed- ed and harvested and the number of bushels harvested in 1930, 1931, and 1932. Individual growers are paid in most instances for approximately 54 per cent ‘of their average production for the last three years. The bounty will be paid on 456,198,588 bushels of the grain, which is 54 per cent of the five- year average production in the United States for the period ended June 30, 1932, Must Submit Record The grower has just begun to com- piie information when he gives his wheat data for 1930, 1931, and 1932. He must submit a full record of all crops planted on his farm in 1933. In some instances, in the case of larger growers, figures for 1928 and 1929 on wheat production may be required. The farmer is to file a sketch map of his farm with his application. He will be asked for supplementary state- ments on disposal of his crop, thresh- ermen’s certificates and certificates of the sale of his wheat. He agrees also that the statements made by him may be published in his local newspaper. This, officials said, will enable his neighbors to check his statements and eventually his allot- ment with their own. ‘The county allotments must coin- cide with that fixed by the farm ad- ministration, and the figures given on acres and production by the county committees will be checked by offi- cial records in Washington. In the event of discrepancies, county com- mittees are to make corrections and tesubmit the figures to Washington. A county total must be approved be- fore any payments are made in that county. No contracts are valid until they have been accepted by the secretary of agriculture.

HOLDS CLERKS MAY KEEP HALE OF FEE IN NATURALIZATION Former Interpretation Overrul- ed By Assistant Attor- ney General Clerks of district courts are entitled to receive and retain one-half of the fees collected in naturalization pro- ceedings, P. O. Sathre, assistant at- torney general, held in an opinion which reverses the ruling of a former ao attorney general given in 31. The opinion, given to Peter J. Erick- son, clerk of the district court at Wil- liston, points out that under the uni- form naturalization act passed by congress in 1906, the clerk of court is required to account to the bureau of immigration and naturalization for one-half of the fees collected, and may retain the other half. The initiated Jgw of 1932 pertain- ing to salaries provides that the sal- aries fixed by the act shall be the full compensation for all county of- fictals, and all fees and compensa- tion received for any act or service rendered in official capacity shall be accounted for and paid over by them to the county treasurer, Sathre said. Prior to 1927, the schedule of fees to be charged by the clerk of the dis- trict court for services rendered in- cluded services in connection with naturalization proceedings. This law Was amended in 1927, the subdivisions which prescribed the fees to be charg- ed for naturalization proceedings were omitted. Is Federal Matter “It will be observed, therefore, that the statute which provides for the fees to be charged by the clerk of the district court does not provide for any fees to be charged for naturali- zation proceedings,” Sathre ruled. “In this connection it should also be noted that all blank forms and records necessary in naturalization proceedings are furnished by the federal govern-. ment to the several clerks of the dis- trict courts without any charge to the counties.” Sathre called attention to the opin- ion of Former Assistant Attorney General Charles Simon holding clerks of district court must pay to the coun- ty all fees they retain from naturali- zation proceedings. Simon cited a Wisconsin case to support his con- tention. Sathre cited an Oregon supreme court case taking the opposite view. “It seems to me that the Oregon case cited herein is decisive in this matter,” Sathre held, “and in view of the fact that our statutes are silent as to any fees to be charged for naturalization proceedings, it is my opinion that the clerks of the district courts are entitled to receive and re- tain the one-half of the fees collected in naturalization proceedings.” tion must not include waste, gullied or eroded acres. tg It may not be used to “produce any nationally-produced_ agricultural Product for sale.” It may be fallow- ed, planted to soil-improving crops, or to food or feed crops for home con- sumption. The grower may not increase his fertilizer on land to be planted in wheat in 1934 and 1935. The “allotments and contracts run with the land and are to be obliga- tory on future purchasers and ten- ants.” Tenants leasing land for cash are entitled to all “adjustment payments” Guring the period of their lease. Share nee are to share 1933 payments the same proportion as they share in the wheat, aa Share tenants who may farm the land in 1934 and 1935 are to receive their pay- mene on the basis of those made in Farmers entitled to share in the payments may not assign their rights. The contract stipulates that, if the average farm price for wheat for the 1934 crop year is below the parity figure for the grain, estimated for the present at 93.03 cents a bushel, “ad- justment payments” will be made, The parity price as defined by the agricultural adjustment act is the price for wheat that would give it a purchasing power equal to that for the grain in the pre-war period from 1908 and 1914.

False Report Causes Death of Kentuckian Vanceburg, Ky., Aug. 7.—(?)—Zolar Thurman, 35, was dead Monday, the victim of a fellow townsman’s mistake. He was shot down before a crowd of election voters at the small town of Petersville, Saturday night. Thurman and Eli Stidham, 35, argued over the election Saturday night. Thurman struck Stidham, once, twice, with a rock. The man collapsed unconscious. A bystander rushed to Stidham’s brothers, John, 28, and Harrison, 30. “Zolar Thurman has killed Eli,” he whispered. With hardly a word, the brothers got their shotguns. “He killed our brother and we'll kill him,” a witness heard them vow as they shouldered their way into a crowd and ordered the people to stand aside. The brothers raised their guns and fired. Thurman fell, riddled with buck: shot. Eli regained consciousness. wounds were not serious.

The gross earnings law passed lat winter defines power companies to mean companies furnishing electric- ity, electric power, steam heat or ar- tificial gas. The new tax absolves the companies from paying any other taxes excepting special assessmert taxes where they own real estate. An assessment of 12 per cent of the gross earnings is assessed against the Power companies under the new law. It is understood they are preparing to take the case into federal court when the law becomes operative on January 1 next, on the ground that it) is confiscatory and unconstitutional. The law was passed on the last day of the session after the constitutional time limit was past and the constitu- tionality of the “long” last day may} be brought into the case. | ‘The companies have paid their taxes | for 1932 and under the old law the state board of equalization would Properties of the power companies in September. The taxes would be de- linquent after Dec. 31. Under the gross earning law the equalization board will not make the levy until next April and the taxes will not be delinquent until Aug. 1, 1934. The board can not make a levy un- til the gross earning returns are made by the power companies for the calen- dar year which ends Dec. 31, 1933. As @ result the state will be out the tax money usually paid by the companies for several months even if the law is not held up in the courts. If the courts hold the law uncon- stitutional the state will be compelled to assess the companies under the old law, which will delay the payment of taxes for some time. If the court ac- tion is a lengthy one, which is prob- able, and the decision is delayed, the state, counties, school districts and other subdivisions will find themselves seriously crippled for an indefinite period.
