Congressman Dickinson, of Iowa, to
Offer Bill in Congress Tracing
Grain Contracts Where Delivery Is
Not Made Within Ten Days-Far-
mer Must Take Losses.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Two meas
ures looking to the relief of farmers
have been drafted by Representative
Dickinson, republican of Iowa, who
announced today that they would be
offered Immediately after congress
convenes on Monday.
One is a bill ilnposingAa tax of 10
per cent on the total value of all
contracts for the sale of grain when
delivery is not made within thirty
days, and the other is a resolution
authorizing the appointment of a
special committee to investigate
grain, live stock and cotton prices
and recommend legislation designed
to remedy present conditions.
Mr. Dickinson declared that levy
Ing OF tax on future contracts
would check speculative trading on
the grain exchange and would
stabilize prices. The bill is pat
termed on the cotton futures act

of cents a pound on all contracted

agricultural committee was told to-
day by Gorernor Harding, of the

Mr.. Harding compared the situa

that the merchants and the banks
would stand BY the farmers if the
latter showed disposition "to do the
right thing
Governor Harding told the commit

year ago over conditions than he was
today.
~ year ago we were living IN a
fools paradise he said. Prices and
conditions were just as abnorlnally
high IN one extreme as they are now
in some respects as low in the other
extreme"
MI. Harding reiterated his sugges-
ton that the farmers sell para of
their products for which there is a
market, even if at a lower price than
they would like to have and use the
proceeds to reduce their indebtedness.
This would ease the whole situation,
he said.
The federal reserve board chair
man said he expected to-, see

holidays.
Secretary Houston, of the treasury
department, previously told the COM

the premier whether, in view Of the
approach Of Christmas. he should not
try to bring about n truce. and the
premier answered he was quite as

Christmas to make efforts In that di-
rection."

prepared to take any steps that will
lead to peace in Ireland"
