Filibuster Delayed.

The promised filibuster, which was
to be stagol today in order to blast
the bills out of the committee. was de-
layed, owing to the necessity OF pass
Ing personal bills on the unanimous
consent calender and because the prs-
posed amendment 20 the federal farm
land bank had not been taken up.
The filibuster will be postponed
until after the action OF the republi-
surgents scored TO the extent of ex-
tracing a promise from the rules
committee to report a special rule on
rural credit Legislation as soon as any
thing bearing on the subject Is re-
ported from the banking committee.
That body held hearings on the Cap
per and the Lenroot.Anderson rural
credit bills today. listening 10 argu-
ments from Gray Silver. representing
the farm bureau federation. and
others favorng the Lenroot-Andersoa
bill.
TO Report Only Capper Bill.
LII spite Of the evident preference Of
Tue idflu biof lot inc ldAlti lHtashlt =,
It is the apparent intention OF the
committee on banking and currency
committee To report only the Capper
bill, which the farm bloc members
cay is only an apology for real rural
credit legislation. Members OF the
banking committee point out that the
Lenroot-Anderson bill would make a
demand upon the treasury for si20.-
600 900 and would put the govern
ment into the banking business.
While this committee was wrestling
with the rural credit bills. with the
evident intention OF throttling them.
the house committee on agriculture
reported three bills which call for APP
proxlmately $500 100000 from the pub
lie treasury.
one of these il the Christopherson
stabilization bill. which provides for
government purchase OF wheat in or
der TO keep the price up 10 approx
bately s1.75 n bushel. Still another
was the Norris. Sinclair bill providing
for the organization OF "A government
corporation for the purchase and sale
OF wheat. None OF them are expected
to make any Roadway in the present
congress.
