Two Weeks Session Monday Baldwin Farmers Favor AAA and Look for Another Law |:hrv.-: Baldwin farmers questioned rela tive to the action of the supreme court in voiding the AAA express ed the opinion that it is the greatest blow the fanners have ever suff ered. While some of the farmers said there had been a few inequalities to the little man under the provisions of the AAA that they believed had the law continued that these errors would have been corrected and the allotments to t'.ie title man would have been raised. Oxgresjtman Carl Vinson already had r bill prepared to allow the farmers » raise three bales of cotton and prevent any allotment under this figure. One farmer said he believed the future of southern agriculture de pended on crap control and that he hid faith and confidence in the President and was sura a new pro gram tor the benefit of agriculture weald be worked out. This farmer reared on the farm and has been actively working on the farm for more than half a century and he said It was the.first time Etei-4. had been an effort to help the farmer, while Republican adminis trations had promised from year to year to give aid to tb<* farmer, but when the election was over these pledges were just another campaign promise. He also said that the in dustrial east had been made wealth/ with the aid and protection of gov ernment in protective tariffs, while the southern farmer and western farmer had been impoverished. Now that a Democratic administration had placed a protective tariff on agriculture in the nature oU a pro cessing tax, it is ruled unconstitu tional while the Hawley-Smoot tar- riff bill, placed on the dcckets by a Republican administration to enrich a privileged few in the industrial centers, was allowed to remain. Another farmer pointed out the fact that a “self-appointed” leader in Georgia had told the farmers all over the str.te that if the AAA was declared unconstitutional and re pealed and the processing tax call ed off cctton would go to 16 cents per pound. This farmer said the fanners could now find out the true friend of agriculture and certainly the Governor, fighting the admin istration, has betrayed .lie farmers of this state. Another farmer said his neighbor., from the smallest farmer to the biggest, were for the AAA and de plored the fact that it was ruled void. He also said that he believed President Roosevelt and the admin istration leaders will foster a new program that will continuetfic bene fits that have been made possible in the past two years. The farmers will not retreat this man said and we are with our president. The voiding of the AAA took from the Baldwin county farmer ever $40,000 in allotment and rental payments, in addition to the loss of 12 cent cotton, which may mean dis aster next fall.
