..FEh d
TIME planting season is here, but
is the normal agricultural
acreage being planted? Or are
the farmers who suffered an
unprecedented slump in prices re-
ceived for their products during the
readjustment period going on strike
as the coal miners have?
All Industrial life and the millions
employed in shops and factories ana
people Of this country generally are
somewhat concerned as to whether
suff1cient food crops are going to be
raised.
Secretary Henry c. Wallace OF the
Department of Agriculture answers:
"Yes. the farmers are planting. There
is going to be enough food for home
consumption and probably an In
creased surplus for foreign shipment
to help feed the hungry In othef
lands. The farmers will not strike
they never do The farmers are plant
ing. in some instances Increased

of their to keep the country FED IN d

: PINIONS differ savagely about
the tariff bill as reported by
the Senate finance committee,
so that the man in the street
and the woman under the reading
lamp. unless a confirmed free trader
or hide-bound protectionist, may be
perplexed about what the bill would
do, should 1t become law in it's pres
ent form. The republicans of the
committee on finance maintain that
the bill would afford protection to
American industries and permit them
to pay wages sufficient to enable our
workmen to maintain an American
standard of living"
That sounds attractive, but it Is
not convincing to the democrats. Hear
what the democratic national COM
mittee, through it's publicity depart.
ment, said of the bill yesterday: "It
is a profiteers' tariff from start to
finish. and II enacted in it's present
form will greatly increase the pres
ent high cost of living. 1t displays
throughout an ignorance of. even the
elementary principles Of economy"
Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, ranking democrat of the COM
mittee on finance. charges that 1t is
1.-The most un-American bill ever
framed" and asserts that its opera
tion would penalize our export busi-
ness which will mean in the end cur
tailment of production and increased
unemployment on the farms. in the
mines and in the factories
AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULE
IS UNDER FIRE
And there you are: absolutely con-
ficting views and forecasts of the
probable effect of legislation which
must touch every household in the
land. Even on the great agricultural
schedule. of intimate interest to the
farmer and no less concern to the
ultimate consumer, the doctors are
far apart. The committee on finance
says of this feature of the bill: I'm
writing the agricultural schedule
your committee adopted the policy
of giving to agriculture the measure
of protection that has been accorded
to other industries. with due con-
sideration to the needs OF all Sec
tions and of all industries"
Senator Simmons. however. takes
violent exception to this prospect.
so far as the so-called protection
afforded agriculture is concerned,

would authorize the President to
modify tariff rates aither upward or
downward. within prescribed limits
and In accordance with definite. rules
laid down by Congress-, SO that the
rates may at all times conform to ex-
isting conditions; to change the basis
for the assessment Of ad valorem du-
ties on selected items from the for
eign value to the value Of the do
mestic article in the American mar
ket when the foreign value is not a.
certain basis for the assessment of
duties on such items; to impose PEN
atty duties or prohibit the importa-
tion of particular goods for the pur-
pose of preventing unfair methods of
competition in the Importation of
goods, and to impose additional du-
ties on the whole or any part Of the
imports into the United States from
any country which discriminates
against our overseas commerce.
These additional duties are limited
but IL the discrimination is main
tanned, the importation of the mer-
chandise may be prohibited. These
elastic tariff provisions are regarded
by the committee as Undoubtedly con-
stitutional."
TWO HOUSES IN CONFLICT
ON VALUATION BASIS.
There is sharp conflict between the
republicans of the House and Of the
Senate over the basis Of valuation for
the duties imposed by the bill. The
House bill carried what was called
the American valuation plan. based
on the price Of the comparable do
mestic product, or, in the absence OF
such price, a constructive American
value, reached by taking into con-
sideration the selling price Of an I'M
ported article in the United States. its
foreign value. its cost of production
and various other elements, such as
freight, expenses, profits and duties. to
reach fair value.
The Senate committee rejected this
plan and adhered to the present sys-
tenn Of basing tariff duties on the for
eign valuation Of the goods. with the
qualification that where no foreign
market value or export price exists in
the country of expectation. tho price
for dutiable purposes shall be the
price at which such imported mer-
chandise is sold in the United States.
less prescribed deductions. The Sen
ate also discarded the policy Of reci-
procity and penalty duties and sun-
stituted p policy -rof penalizing dis
examinations against American COM
merce.
DEMOCRATs NOT UNITED
IN OPPOSING BILL.
Thus 1t win be seen that not only
do the two parties in Congress dis
agree as to the rates of duties to be
collected on imports, but that the
majority party In the House and Sen
ate Adisagrees over the method OF dx-
ing the rates.
Tho democrats are not a solid pha-
Ianx in opposition to the bill. since
the south has come forward with a
demand for tariff duties on certain
southern products. Recently there
was q tariff congress in Texas, which
demanded that the agricultural pred
ucts of the south should receive the
same treatment accorded products
peculiar to other sections of the
country.
