WILSON'S
WHEAT VETO
] CRITICIZED
Senator Gore Declares Prin-
ciples Used Had No
Application.

Senator Gore. Of Oklahoma. at
tackled the Presidential veto of
$40 wheat yesterday in the SEN
ate. At the same time he criti-
rcized Southern Senators for refus-
ing TO hold out for a high wheat
price. although insisting upon a
high cotton price.
Senator Gore spoke of the Presi-
dents reasons as given for yetoing
the agricultural bill containing the
wheat amendment. and said:
The principles upon which the
President bases his arguments
have no more application than the
Draeonian code, or the nebular
hypothesis"
He drew the inference that the
President did not make up his own
mind on the wheat price without
the advice of others.
Says President Yielded.
"Courtier farmers and agricultural
courtiers." he said, swung incense
~before the President, and told him
that ii is the essence of justice and
rfairness that the farmer be given
so cents less per bushel for his
wheat than he could get in the open
market
They whispered to him what
pleased his ear and did not tell him
the truth"
Fletcher. OF Florida, precipitatsd
the criticism OF cotton. when he
-.yentured that "a man from the
northwest had told him that amy
amount more than 81 obtained on
wheat is profit" Gore turned. and
.said:
- Never would the Senator be will
ing to reduce the price of cotton
from where il is now around SO
cents. ask him to apply that same
principle to wheat Would he be
willing to have cotton at p L.
gcents. Mo-"
Later on, Gore said:
~ There seems to be one code of
morals for the cotton men and pack
srs and another for the wheat farm
ers. Now that the President has
vetoed the S2.4J wheat there seems
only one thing to DO and that Is to
reduce by 25 per cent from the
August 1917 prices. everything that
the farmer buys. This seems to me
doubtful wisdom, but it is the only
remedy"
G roma Backs Gore.
Senator Cores. idea that the Presi-
dent did not use his own particular
judgment in the wheat decision found
a sponsor in Senator Gronna of North
Dakota, who said:
IF he had used his own keen
Judgment. and not depended on the
advice Of others, the situation now
would have been different"
Figures submitted by Senator Reed
OF Missouri. were offered to prove
that cotton had had a much more
rapid price-advance than wheat. He
put in a table which read:
