Congressman Carl Vinson, of the Sixth District of Georgia, today tioduced a Joint Resolution to re fund to the cotton producers the amount of taxes collected under the Bankhead Act, which amounts to $1,489,131,000, and at the same time to pay back to the farmers money that they had expended for purchase of tax exempt certificates, which, throughout the cotton belt, amounts to approximately $36,000,- 000.000.00. Mr. Vinson said that the farmers of Georgia had purchased between $5,000,000.00 and $6,000,000.00 worth of tax exempt certificates and his Resolution provides for paying this money back to them. He stated that the recent decision of the Supreme Court held that the taxes imposed under the Agricul tural Adjustment Act were invalid, and that the same principle an nounced by the Court is applicable to the taxes imposed under the Bankhead Act; that the taxes col lected under that Act were illegally collected and ought to be refunded. He further stated that the law re pealing the Bankhead Act made provision lor the refund of such taxes and t> avoid the expense and injustice involved in litigation by many small producers to secure fund of such taxes. Congress .should pass his Resolution. Baldwin county farmers would receive a large slice of the money coming back to Georgia. *t is esti mated that more than $5,000 would be paid back to the farmers of this county who paid the tax on excess county production. The government has already authorized the release of cotton withot-.r the payment of the Bankheod gin tax, if the cotton was held In warehouses.
