U. S. SUPREME COURT
REFUSES TO PASS ON
BANKHEAD ACT CASE
(Continued From Page One)
by Justice Roberts, the court held
the chapnges made by the new
AAA law enacted at the last ses
sion did not ‘“cure the infirmities
of the original act” which it heldl
unconstitutional last week.
‘“The exaction still lacked the
quality or a true tax,” the court
said. “It remains a means for ef
fecting the regulation of agricul
ture, production, a matter not
within the powers of congress.”
Court Decision
In deciding that impounded tax
es must be returned the court
said:
“We have no qccasion to dis
cuss or decide. whether gection 21
(D) affords an adequate remedy,
at law. As yet the petitioner has
not paid the taxes to the respond-l
ents, and, in view of the decision
in the Butler (AAA) case, here
after cannot be required so to do. .
“If the respondent should now
attempt to collect the tax by dis
traint he would be a trespasser.
The decree of the distriet courl
will be vacated, and appropriate
order entered directing the repay
ment to the petitioner of the funds
impounded . . . and the cause re
manded to the district court sot
the entry of a decree enjoining
selection of the assailed exaction.
A similar disposition will be made
of the companion cases.”
The section 21 (D) referred to
by the court would prohibit re
funds of tHe processing taxes al
ready paid to the government un
iless the tax-payer could show
that he had not passed the tax
‘on to others.
Comment Withheld
Due to intricacies of the decis
ion, administration officials defer
red comment pending study.
It took its place in the record
being made on the New Deal in
the court.
This showed to date the two
major ventures thrown out, NRSY
‘and AAA on unanimous and s
. to three decisions respectively; a
lqua]ifled five to four victory in
the gold cases; a loss by the same
margin on railroad retirement:
Ilegislation; and eight to one and
| nine to none adyerse rulings on
’“hot 0il” regulation and the Fra
zier- Lemke farm mortgage mora
)torium. The President's removal
"-of a trade commissioner, the late
iVVilllam Humphrey, alsp was held
improper.
~ Again the majestic courtroom
was crowded. Notable and pri
vate citizens on hand personified
conflicting sentiment over the
questions at issue.
Realization of the profound im
portance of the occasion sharpen
ed the suspense. All dignity, the
justices gave little indication of
considering their session any dif
‘Kerent from the regular Monday
. DUSINSR 25 S Yed
Bankhead SLhmng
Senator Bankhead (D.-Ala.), au
thor of the cotton law, heard that
!action in the courtroom and said
} it meant “we stil] have the Bank
' head act on the statute books.
“The department of agriculture
| has the power to save the cotton
farmer by proceeding with oper
!ution of the Bankhead act,
“It will save this year’s crop.”
! The rice ruling was on a casé
|brought by eight Louisiana rice
milling companies. i
, They had contended the section
‘of the AAA amendments, requir
ing proof that they had horne the
icost themselves before obtaining
18, refund was invalid.
t The rice millers insisted they
"could not prove who bore the ex
' pense of the processing levy. They
' said in their business the wvari
[ous lots of rice were handled to
gether and it could not be ascer
’tained what happened to the ind
ividual consignment.
Should Pay First
~ The government claimed the
millers should “pay first and liti
gate later,” It asserted suits for
injunctions against taxes were
barred by federal statutes and by
the AAA amendments.
Thg federal district eourt and
the circuit court of appeals at
New Orleans agreed with the
government and dismissed the
millers’ petition. The courts said
they were without jurisdiction to
enjoin the tax collection.
In agreeing to review the dis
pute, the Supreme Court granted
a temporay injunction to continue
unti] ‘its final ruling. Justices
Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo dis
sented from the review,'
Of the $1,200,000,000 processing
taxes collected, approximately
$200,000,000 was impounded in
federal courts. Rice collections to
October 1 totalled $153,976. It
was expected they would have
been $12,900,000 by next June 30,
