Senate Debenture Plan Sparks Constitutional Debate in Farm Relief Bill
Washington reports rising debate as the Senate agriculture committee weighs adding the export debenture plan to the farm relief bill. Snell argues the plan raises revenue and cannot be Senate-initiated, while McNary and other members view it as revenue taking and possible to originate in the Senate. Proponents say the plan would let the farm board apply debentures at its discretion, while opponents claim it would be class legislation and unconstitutional. The fight could resemble past clashes over the equalization fee.
