Rickett. - R SURPRISE VISI TRENTO, Italy —(#)_) Premiet Mussolini paid a surprig visit Saturday to the town wlere he) was once a newspaper edifyr and told a cheering populace, %those who do not know how to gragp the wheel of destiny in historigimo ments perhaps will never grasy, it.” 11 Duce drove into Trento Hter completion of gigantic war marku } vers in northern Itely near Bl zano. There he announced pla S | to call 200,000 more troops to the | colors and warned: “The world should know yé again that as long as one talks absolutely and provocatively off sanctions, we will not give up one soldier, one sailor, or one aviator.” Hearing on Talmadge’s Petition Against Bank head to Be Sept. sth i ' - (Continued From Page One) provisiong of the constitution and is “an intricate part of a scheme to accomplish an unconstitutional purpose.” The Bankhead act, the petition says, is repugnant to several pro visions of the constitution of the United States, particularly to the law that no person shall be deprived of his propery without due process l()f law, § s Talmadge sued in his capacity as a Monroe county farmer, and not as chief executive of Georgia. ‘ The suit says he has on hand four bales of cotton produced on ‘his farm in 1934, in excess of the ‘Bankhead act allotment, that he bought the farm last yvear and the Iprevious owner already had sign ed production contracts under the Bankhead act, “Complainant Talmadge,” the suit says, cannot sell the four bales “unless exemption certificates are purchased or the tax paid. Said cotton is reasonably worth the sum of $55 a bale x X x and is accumu lating carrying chargeg and is di minishing in value by reason of such carrying charges.” It adds that he signed no con- Etract this year and is growing as much cotton.ag he is able to, but kthat the I)Ql] weevil has cut pro | duction to 25 bales. He says he | cannot market any of such cotton "'unless he will pay the sum of S3O ‘a bale tax, or the aggregate sum of $750 for taxes.” Ginners cannit gin the cotton unless he pays the ‘tax, the petition says. ,1 The petitioners say if the fed eral government is permitted to en force regulationg of the Bankhead act, they will be forced to abandon their farms, lose their tenants and laborers and give up their pru—l perty.
