Move to Save AAA Power Faces Congressional Clash
Constitutionalists on Capitol Hill argue Congress cannot delegate taxing power to Wallace or any official. They say only Congress can levy taxes, and delegating such power to Wallace is unconstitutional. Canceling Wallace licensing would strike a blow to the AAA, as he currently licenses processors and handlers of basic commodities. Congress was asked to grant broader authority, but opponents warned it would make Wallace a dictator over the food supply. Blue Eagle ruling pushes leaders to drop that idea though a revised AAA is hoped.

Move to curb Supreme Court power prompts liberal push
Mobilizing lawmakers led by Reps Keller and Maverick plan a drive to convene a constitutional convention to reverse Supreme Court rulings on the NRA and Frazier Lemke farm mortgage acts. Liberal bloc counted about 78 members ready to back changes, arguing the court has halted economic progress and needs a rule of reason. The effort targets revising the constitution to address what they call an emergency in the nation’s economy.

Legislature Seeks Quick Funding Fix for Relief Program
The legislature proposes a bookkeeping change to bolster the relief tax. A one cent gasoline levy would run two years to raise 22 million dollars, but a one year increase would yield 11 million to the treasury in the next 12 months. This would fund about half the cash needs to keep the state on a cash basis if special fund borrowings are repaid by 1935, with the remainder covered from the major fund and repaid in 1936 when budget income exceeds expenditures.
