FARM RELIEF LEGISLATION
COMES FIRST IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Farm
relief legislation is to be given right
of way in the senate after the tax
and remaining appropriation bills
are out of the way, under a dicision
reached today at conference of
senate Republicans.
In order to speed up the program
with a view to adjournment before
the Republican national convention
at Cleveland, it was decided to hold
night sessions beginning tomorrow.
The Mellon income tax rates came
in for only general discussion and
there was no effort to put the con-
ference on record with respect to
them. 1t was indicated that the
party leaders would endeavor to
force vote first on the Mellon
schedule, and should the senate re-
ject it another conference probably
Will be called to discuss a compro-
mise.
The conference did not declare for
any particular farm relief plan, the
resolution adopted providing merely
that such legislation should have
right of way later on. Friends of
the McNary Haugen relief bill are
preparing to press that measure, but
there is a sharp division In the SEN
ate as to just what form farm legis-
lation should take.
The present expectation is that the
tax bill can be disposed of by the
end of this week or early next week.
Five appropriation bills are yet to be
passed by the senate but most of the
more important ones have been put
through.
