Bureau federation announces. The
call for the national referendum was
issued by the American Farm Bureau
federation, and marks the first attempt
in this country to give individual farm
erS an opportunity to express Them
selves on questions under considera-
ton in congress.
Questions on Business Matters.
The principal questions are:
"Do you favor legislation making
short selling of farm products illegal? !?
do YOU favor putting the packing
industry under government regula-
ton?
care you in favor of continuing the
excess profits tax?
"DO YOU favor the submission to the
states of constitutional amendments
prohibiting the issuance of exempt
securities?'
Comprehensive Program.
Other propositions to be submitted
to county and township caucuses
throughout the country. officials said
include proposals to establish rural
credits system, enactment of sales
tax. construction of farm to market
roads in preference to transcontinental
highways, enactment of truth-in- fabric
! legislation. completion of the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project
and granting of authority to Federal
Reserve banks to give priority to loans
for basic production of all kinds.
Would More Products Move?
The call for the poll of farmers
throughout the nation also involves ar
attempt to bring about voluntary re-
auctions in freight rates by demon
strating that lowering of rates woulG
result in traffic increases so large that
it would more than make up for re
duced charges. One Of the questions
upon which the farmers will be asked
to submit their opinions is whether the
average farmer twill be able to move
a materially larger amount of agricul
tural products If the American Farm
Bureau federation obtains an adequate
reduction in freight rates."
