| in favor of the amendment and 0.06o
against it There was more opposi-
| ton to the amendment in Indiana
than any other state, except New
York, where the majority in favor of
the amendment was approximately
| 200 less than in Indiana, and in Massa-
chusetts, where only 43 votes were

Arizona, 4,1S5 favoring it.
Ohio Vote
In Ohio 1876 farmers voted In favor
of the proposal and 1904 against it.
| "The American Farm Bureau feder-
alton deems it of the greatest impor-
tance to the agricultural interests of
the nation that the proposed amend
ment be speedily adopted by congress
in order that the actual farmers of the
! ordinary and average farms and ranch
es be afforded this opportunity to en-
joy the benefits of the federal farm
loan act" President Howard writes.
The senate will receive the tariff bill
from the house on Friday and senate
leaders will then revive the proposal
for recess until the senate finance
committee has completed its hearings
on the measure, which, it is thought,
will require month.
Oppose Recess.
The agricultural bloc in the senate
will undoubtedly oppose any recess at
this time, who are demanding immed-
late consideration of agrarian legisla-
ton pending in the senate. The most
! important of these bills is the meas
ure creating a 500 100000 farm ex.
port corporation, fathered by Senator
: Norris, chairman of the committee on
agriculture.
1t will have the support of the SEN
ators composing the agricultural bloc,
but there is an equally powerful group
of senators who would be pleased to
avoid present consideration of the
measure by having the senate take a
| recess.
: There are several other bills in the
= senate designed to assist the farmer
including the amendment to the farm
: loan act increasing the loan limit to
: S25, 900. Another measure would make
2 the secretary of agriculture member
: iof the federal reserve board The
/ agriculture bloc is asking that these
{ several farm relief bills be acted upon
D before any recess is taken.
