Ex-President Hoover is quite cor

by the Supreme Court during his
administration, bock to a predeces

PVERNOR TALMADGE
TO LEVY 1936 TAXES
(By: G. N. 8.)

i Ttatrment by George F. Longi-
t a meeting ex Pulton County
lissioners last week.

fcive finds himself in discord with
the Judical branch of the Govern
ment. Indeed there are but few of
cur Presidents who have not had
emergencies that made them skirt
dangerously the constitutional limits.
There was grave question as to
Washington’s authority to make war
on the Pennsylvania whiskey rebels.
Jcf.’crson cheerfully admitted the
uncanstituticnal implications of the
Louisiana Purchase but declared it
a necessary act in furtherance of
the Nation’s safety and progress.
Jackson, when the Supreme Court
ruled on the question of settlers on
land to the possession of which they
had no constitutional right, grimly
commented: “John Marshall has
rendered a decision now let him en
force it." The Supreme Court ob
viously has no army to carry out
Its edicts, and must leave that to
the executive who Is commander-in-
chief of the military Borces.
Lincoln feught with practically his
whole cabinet over the constitution
ality of the Emancipation Proclama
tion. In his debate with Douglas, the
latter sounded a mouth-filling note
about responded that it suggested
to him a man on the creek-side,
standing with one foot on the bank
and the other on a floating log.
Theodore Rooeevdi put In this way:
“The American people and not
the courta are to determine their
own fundamental policies. The peo
ple should have power to deal with
record in this respect should be kept
clear and not be made a part of A

ed the act, though 1 have a lay
man’s hazy impression that there Ir
something in the Constitution rela
tive to ex-postfacto laws.
None cf those things meant that
historic heroes were unpatriotic,
stubbornly seif-opinionated or bent
on unsurpation. or that the great
Justices of those times were unlearn
ed in the law or indifferent to the
welfare of the American people. The
answer is that the members oC the
great court felt bound by what they
construed to be compelling limita
tions and acted accordingly.
Incidentally, history does not re
cord that there resulted from these
historic clashes any chaos in Gov
ernment; any breaking down of the
American system: any disordering of
the national destiny. The country
rocked along as comfortably, or
more comfortably, than it did be
fore. The rine-Justices court of to
day, for e sample, functions the
same way as the seven-Justices
court of th * pre-Grant period, and
who is theic that remembers the
dark forebodings of his enemies that
accompanied the act of the great
soldier in the White House?
Two Tears of Kespttr frsm Despair

President U. S. Grant, confronted regular. but would take all the time
with a constitutional interpretation
contrary to what he deemed for the
best interests of the country, solved
the difficulty by apointing two ad
ditional members of the Supreme
Court, who conformed to his view.
Eminent lawyers have told me
that when IVesident Hoover in the
absence of Congress granted Eng
land, France, Italy and the other
embarrassed nations a moratorium
oi» their war debts to our Govern
ment he did not have a constitution
al leg to stand on. He might have
called a special session of Congress, j Supreme Court has changed and the
but tha.‘ involved long and heated views of Jurtkes Stone. Brandei:
debates, and no certainty that a
people, exasperated by the over-seas
involved in getting such an amend
ment adopted by a two-thirds vote
of Congress and ratified by three-
quarters of the states.
Now I have not the remotest ides
whether the President’s mind is run
ning cn constitutional amendment*-
or not the farmers’ hands that would
satisfy the Supreme Court. Or, it
may be that the lift from the un
constitutional blessings they have
received will tide the farmers over
for r. while, at least—perhaps to a
time when the completion of the
agitation for defaulting the debts
would not register so clamorous an
opposition as to peril the result in
Congress. .Mr. Hoover felt that to
insist on a continuance of debt pay
ments at that time would have
played havoc with the fiscal situa
tion abroad, with a vicious reaction
awn country, and probably
right Congress, when it
formally asstmblcd later on, validat-
and Cardozo may be the views o£ a
majority.
In any event they, as well as in
dustry, have had a couple of years’
respite (ram despair because the
President failed to forecast how the
Supreme Court would divide on the
AAA question. The impetus of those
twe years will prolong the period for
a greeter or shorter time.
Meanwhile the farmers have the
privilege of distress at having been
the benfidari.s of something uncon
stitutional—if they feel that wav.

RETURN FROM WASHINGTON
Americus, Ga., Jan. 16, 1936. S. E.
SLatham of Americus and T. R.
Breedlove of Monroe, thr two dele
gates invited by Secretary Wallace
to represent Georgia cotton farm-
ot the recent conference of
farmers in Washington, have re
turned to the state. Aifter the gen
eral conference of farmers from all
parts cf the nation on January 10
and 11, they remained in Washington
for several days to discuss with rep
resentatives of the entire cotton belt
the situation which confronts cotton
farmers with the planting season
only thirty days away.
In a prepared statement for the
press. Statham and Breedlove said:
“Some delay must elapse before
legislation can be prefected to make
effective the policy outlined and
agreed upon by the nation’s farm
leaders called by Secretary Wallace.
In the meantime, cotton farmers
must make plan* for the coming
season. Any disposition on the part
of farmers to give up the fight will
be fatal to the South
We Have every confidence that
the best interests of agriculture will
be protected in forthcoming legis
lation and that provisions will
made in a crcp adjustment Program
calling for approximately the
reduction in cotton acreage a
provided in the proposed 1936 Pro
gram as Invalidated by the Supreme
Court.
If we hold the ground thus fn
gained, there can be no Increase In
cotton acreage over that contemplat
ed in the proposed 1936 contract.
We appeal to the farmers of Geor
gia to make plans in accordance
with the acreage reduction of 30 to
45 per cent which was called for
in the 1936 contract. If this be
done, all cctton farmers in Georgia
will be in position to cooperate in
the new program and share equit
ably in its benefits."
Mr. Statham and Mr. Breedlove
point to the fact that it will require
new legislation by Congress to set
an effective Program into operation.
Members of the Georgia delegation
in Congress will, no doubt, be anx
ious to know the opinion cf the cot-
farmers in Georgia as to wiiat
