FARM BEL DEFEATED

Defeat of the McNary- Haugen farm
ovnort bonus bill, in the national
house of representatives, should occa'
sion no surprise, for it has been felt
that tbe bill had no chance of passage
because of opposition to it that arose
from eastern centers of population.
Vote on the measure in house, Tues
day. was 224 against, to d04 for the
bill. and Immediately thereafter q
movement was instituted to bring
about substitute farm relief legisla
ton before adjournment Of congress
Saturday. The substitute that may
be considered, however, is simply pre-

election salve to spread upon the
farmer.
While there was no assurance that
the McNary- Haugen bill, if enact.
ed into law, would solve the farmers
financial problems, it did appear to
be the most workable measure that
had ever been proposed to relieve
the desperate financial condition in
the agricultural districts. The farm
er most certainly is entitled to relief,
but he is the last TO receive it. In
fact, he apparently will not receive
it.
The American manufacturer has the
benefit of protective tariff, and the
consumer pays the bill; the railroads
are guaranteed a reasonable return
on their investment, public utilities
are permitted to charge rates that
will insure they will not be in the
red; other Industries are given this
protection or that subsidy. Yet agri-
culture, the backbone of America, must
shift for itself, survive or perish. And
if agriculture collapses, America will
face most deplorable economic con-
dition.

ing a downward tendency today at
