NEW FARM RELIEF
BILL PRESENTED BY
CAROLINA SENATOR

WASHINGTON, May ia new
farm relief bill providing for the ere.
alton OF agricultural associations
with power to lend money on farm
products, limit production and mar
ket commodities, was presented
Wednesday by Senator Smith, Demo
crat, South Carolina.
The bill was drawn, its proponents
said, with the idea of providing
compromise upon which the whole
strength OF the farm bloc in the SEN
ate could be conferred.
Under the bill associations would
be organized to handle the principal
farm commodities, with one in par
tiCular allotted to each association.
This arrangement is designed to sim
plify the probe mby overcoming
prejudices between producers of
various crops.
Loans limited to two years would
be made through the federal re-
serve banks not to exceed rs per
cent of the value of the commodity,
and the associations would be en-
powered to limit production Of any
crop produced by a farmer member
OF the association. The products
would be sold either domestically or
to the export trade.
Each association would elect its
own directors and the expenses Of
operation would be raised through a
commission charged from the mem
bers. The government would not
be required to make any appropria-
ton and the bills supporters contend
the government loans, made at the
usual interest rates, would be fully
protected by collateral in the form
Of farm products.

was ever recorded in the history of
crime in Georgia" Governor Walk
err declined Thursday to commute
the death sentence of J. B. Satter-
field, a brother-in-law of the victim,
who thus loses his last chance to
escape hanging at the Fulton coun'
ty tower on Friday. May %.
Human life is too cheap in Geor-
gia," Governor Walker declared, in
commenting on his decision. "The
fair name Of our state has been
blackened by crime. There must be
Init. The criminally-inclined must
be taught that punishment is certain
and that the taking of human life
in Georgia will be severely punished.
Such an atrocious murder as this
record disclosed should not and will
not be condoned by this adninistra-
ton. l, therefore, approve the recon-
mendation of the prison commits
sion and decline to interfere with the
judgment of the court"

persistent belief that something
would turn up to save him, did not
desert him when he was told OF
Governor Wakes action by a Jour
nal reporter.

his duty as he saw it," Satterfielo
said. There has been a killing and
killings are against the law. 1t took

thing he could do,wa to sleep. The
light, he said, was insufficient fol
reading purposes.

trial" Satterfield declared. 1--WE JUS

this evidence, however, it will throw
an entirely new light on the matter.
