Hearst Urges Amending AAA Plan For Cattle Tax
Des Moines Iowa farm leaders ask for a light processing tax on cattle to be spread across all livestock to fund adjustments in feed crops and payments to farmers.

He met with the Iowa congressional delegation after talks in Washington with AAA administrator Chester C Davis. Eastern cattlemen support the idea while western ranchers oppose it.
