Business Denounces Federal Licensing Of Corporations
The Chamber of Commerce of the United States denounces federal licensing of interstate corporations. It argues licensing is not a proper federal function and would create inequities for stockholders. The group notes wages and price policy hinge on production costs and warns against mandatory price cuts. President Roosevelt urged lower prices while maintaining wages, a stance the chamber says could require wage reductions to cut costs. Senator Borah met with Roosevelt yesterday without a public shift in his stance on the licensing bill.

Senate and House conferees said they agreed to limit large farm bill payments and raise checks to small farmers. The plan sets a per state cap for individuals and partnerships while corporations cannot exceed ten thousand dollars nationwide. Sugar growers remain governed by separate laws. Senator Pope noted the cap would trim payments to a limited number of large landowners and shift funds to boost small-farmer checks by about fifty million dollars from a five hundred million total.
