Delay Chief Weapon,
Delay Is the chief weapon Of the
opponents of legislation. BY asking
tor hearings and by attaching riders

parliamentary device or another. bills
are kept from being acted upon
sometimes they are held too long in

Grafton to be given. Some times the
i,ouse is influenced to pass some
thing which contradicts or provokes
controversy with the Senate. Thus in
the last hours OF g. session bills may
De left by the wayside
Ihe only question now is what can

VIII die on March 1 and will have to
be introduced once more and go

and be ready for White House veto
or signature.
President Coolidge became con-
vinced early in the present session
that IL he said there would be

brought action on the money bills

he would not pledge himself definite
ly against the calling Of an extra
session, as circumstances might re-
quire him to summon Congress. But
the President has said enough to in
dicate that he has no purpose OF call
ing Congress back any earlier than
next October or November, and that
If important legislation is left pend
ing he will feel that Congress, and
not the Executive, will be held ac-
countable by the country.
When an inventory of legislation
on hand is taken after March the
President may feel differently. Every
days developments indicate that the
time Is passed when Congress can ac-
complish much more beyond the pas
sage of appropriation bills at the
short session and that If the Repub-
licans are to maintain their control of

PROTESTS HOOVER
/ AS FARM DICTATOR
Agriculture Council Head De-
Clares He Has Too Much
Influence Over Policies.

Appearing before the House agri-
cultural committee today, George N
Peek, president of the American
Council of Agriculture, entered pro-
test over what he termed the domina-
tfon of American agriculture by Sec
retary Hoover of the Commerce De-
partment
The recommendations of the Presi-
dents agricultural conference, the
witness said, contained nothing which
had not already been formulated by
Mr.. Hoover. Sand he quoted Mr.. Hoo
Yer as having said the function of
the Department of Agriculture should
end with farm production and prepa-
ration. Transportation and market
ing, he declared, were held by Mr..
Hoover to be the functions of his de-
partment.
Reliance ON Hoover.
Mr.. Peek said he believed the Presi-
dent was relying on Secretary Hoo
Yer. and not the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, for agricultural information
Last year. he declared, his organiza-
ton wrote to Secretary Slemp urging
that the Agriculture Secretary con-
rene a commission to study agricul-
ture, whose members should be non
partisan and not representatives of
selfish interests.
Export Measure Urged.
Enactment Of revised McNary
Haugen farm export measure was
advocated by the witness, who also
favored special session of Con-
sress, if necessary. to enact remedial
farm legislation.
A congressional investigation OF
the activities of Secretary Hoover in
agricultural matters was proposed by
Mr.. Peek.
Farm leaders in general, he said,
do not approve of Mr.. Hoovers agri-
cultural views and will protest
against his domination" of the
Department of Agriculture.
The witness declared Secretary
Hoover was favorable to exporters,
adding that julius Barnes opposed
the McNary- -Haugen measure as head
of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce and not as grain ex-
porter.
Representative Tircher, Republi-
can, Kansas, maintained that the re-
port of the Presidents conference,
with which Mr.. Peek took issue In
connection with the idea of keeping
down agricultural production TO do
mestic requirements, tailed with MIR.
Peek's own views at the time the
McNary-Hausen bill was debated in
the House last session.
