DEFENDED BY CAPPER
Kansas Senator Denies That The Sys-
TEN Aims at Class Legislation or
Has Selfish Objects

Washington, April 14.-Legislation
providing long-term credits for far
mers. reduction of railroad rates, ade-
quate tariff protection for agricultu-
raj products and development of the
Muscle Shoals project as a fertilizer
producer were announced to the Sem
ate yesterday by Senator Capper, Re-
publican, Kansas, as among the OBJ
iectives Of the agricultural bloc.
Other legislative aims OF the bloc
detailed by Senator Capper included
measures 10 give the farmers repre-
Sentation on the Federal Reserve
Board. to restore State control over
State railroad charges and to brand
all fabrics and cloths with the amount
"s wool or cotton contained.
Defending the bloc. the Kansas SEN
ator said the purposes of the farm
bloc are economic not political.
There are certain interests which,
regret to say, nave powerful spokes-
men in the Eastern press, who are
won't to cry Wolf wolf at the farm
bloc Senator Capper added. Those
interests simply seek TO escape too
close n scrunitv Of their motives by
creating a furor IN the public mind.
THE charge has been made that the
farm bloc seeks class legislation and
that It's aim is 10 profit agriculture,
no matter at what cost 10 other indus
try. The men who make tnat charge
lose sight Of the fundamental fact thar
agriculture is basic, that What contri-
hutes to It's prosperity and well-belng
unquestionahly benefits all industry.
When agriculture is profitable the ma
ton IS prosperous.
1T is not class legislation to de-
,nand that agriculture have as good
credit facilities as any other business;
that farmers be encouraged to work
together TO improve their marketing
conditions: that the market gamblers
and speculators and the selfish class
which has grated Off of the farmers
for many years be unmasked and con-
trolled.
"The farm bloc does not recognize
he right Of any class to have an ad-
vantage at the expense of another
group or of the population as a whole.
The interests which oppose it fight the
farm bloc because It does not tolerate
their net piracies. Vested interests
have been bIoodsucking the farmer
long enough"
The nsXt step to be taken by the
bloc. the Senator said, would be 10 OBJ

Committee experts stated. however,
that with but few exceptions the rates
IN farm products do not exceed %
lercent. This schedule. embraces
meats, eggs, vegetables generally

was fixed at 80 cents bushol, the
same as on the emergency act, but 3
cents higher than the rate provided
in the Underwood bill.
Cattle hides were taken from the
free list for the first time in many
years and a duty of 2 cents on green
and cents on dry proposed. These
are about the rates asked for by the
