SENATE CLEANS
SLATEF0R VOTE
ON CREDIT BILL
Two Amendments Are
Adopted After Hard
Fight on Floor.
Loans to Be Authorized
to Associations of Ag-
riculturists.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Disposition OF
amendments to the agricultural credits
bill was begun by the senate Wednes-
day, but vote on passage of the meas
ure, which is framed by the administra-
ton as a substitute for the original
Norris bill, went over.
Two of score of pending amend
ments were adopted after hard fight.
One, offered by Senator Smith, Demo
crat, South Carolina, would authorize
loans by the war finance corporation
to associations of agricultural produc-
ers and the other, offered by Senator
Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi. would
authorize the corporation to take up
S1O0,OOO,O0O in bonds of the federal
farm loan system.
Fight Smith Suggestion.
The Smith amendment was contested
hotly. Senators Harrison and Will
liams. both Democrats, of Mississippi:
LaFollette. Republican, Wisconsin, and
Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, led the
to individual producers. The amend
ment was adopted, AZ to %. with party
lines divided.
Senators Smith, Lenroot. Repub
Leans, Wisconsin; Smoot, Republican,
Utah, and Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, championed the Smith amend
ment. Individual loans to all of the
farmers of all the states, they declared,
would "break down" the proposed legis
lation. Senator Smoot said individual
loans would require the war finance
corporation to have 25O,OOO employees
for investigations, that the direct, indi-
vidual loan play was ''impracticable.
unavoidable and preposterous.' was as
serted by Senator Simmons.
LaFoIlette Attacks.
Senator Lenroot said the original
Norris bill did not contemplate direct
loans to individual. farmers. That the
amendment would "get the farmer out
of the bill altogether" was charged by
LaFollette, who said it would give
benefits to parasites who prey on the
farmer" Banks and trust companies
would be the principal beneficiaries, he
added. Senator Ashurst said the farm
ers would be "torpedoed" and relief
given mainly to banks gorged with
improvident loans"
The Harrison amendment was adopt
ed without a record vote or particular
opposition.
Senator Harrison said the farm loan
board had applications for loans aggre-
eating S150,OO0,O00 and only $4,000
600 available for them, due to inability
to market bonds.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The
house finished consideration OF con-
tested schedules in the Fordney
tariff bill Tuesday by pacing asphalt
on the free list, anl thus, in four OF
the FIVE paragraphs open 70 separate
votes, overruled the action OF it's
ways and means committee in franz

declared there was nothing fair in

that the amendments could be Of

acials here is that 70 thresh out that
question now not only would delay
the conference but might also
branch into a discussion Of the mer-

selves. Il is felt that the program
for the conference could best be ar
ranged by the conference itself, or.
falling that. at least by negotiation
