Move to keep AAA taxes and revenue bill proposed
Senator Bankhead of Alabama urged retroactive re enactment of processing taxes as a general revenue measure to retain or collect 1.2 billion dollars in taxes on farm processors after the Supreme Court invalidated the AAA. The plan would keep 1 billion in already collected funds to finance farmers benefits and require processors to turn over 2 billion in impounded taxes. The high court voided the AAA and left unsettled whether processors may reclaim 1 billion dollars previously collected.
