WASHINGTON, d. G., June 81
David Tubin, of California, an enthu-

protect agricultural products, by i'm
posing an export bounty, says the
movement is gaining rapidly among
the farmers throughout the country to
indorse Senator Cannon's amendment
10 the pending tariff bill. He says that
everywhere 1t is demanded that some-
thing be done for the farmer as well as
the manufacturer. He claims that the
proposition takes well with labor or
ganizations and thinks Cannon's
amendment has a fair show, but does
not believe the senate will adopt the
plan. "But If we fail now," insisted
Mr.. Tubin, 1--WE will make it the main
