Congress at this writing continues
in quandary over agricultural legis-
lation. The Haugen bill, which pro-
posed to set up Government, machinery
for disposing of farm SURPRISES in
the export trade without affecting
home prices and which provided for
a fund of $175,000000 from the
Treasury to put the plan into opera
ton, was defeated in the House on
May II by vote of 2l2 to l67.
The Tincher and Aswen bills, which
along with the Haugen bill had been
recommended favorably by the House
Agricultural Committee, were with
drawn. Just how the situation is to
be patched up this session, if at all,
is not yet clear. Representative
Tincher has declared his intention of
calling up his bill again, and Repre-
sentative Aswell has already REIN
PRODUCED his bill, modified, however,
to the extent that it now includes
provision for large loan fund from
the Treasury, to be used in promoting
cooperative marketing which has been
one of the features of the Tincher
bill. Thus far at least no provision
has been made in the House program
for considering these bills. In the
Senate, however, the corn belt forces
have served notice of their intention
to push the bill passed by the House
January 26 providing for the crea-
ton of division of cooperative mar
keting in the Department of Agri-
culture, amended to include the essen
cial principles of the Haugen bill
which had met defeat in the House.
AS the Senate bill now stands,
it would set up Federal Farm Board
which would administer fund of
250,000,000 to be appropriated from
the Treasury. This board would study
the markets and where a surplus over
and above domestic requirements was
found to exist in certain basic agri-
cultural commodities, namely, cotton,
wheat, corn, cattle, and swine, or any
food product of the last four, ex-
cept milk and its products Gin the
case of cotton the requirement is a
surplus above the needs of orderly
marketing), this board would have
power to assess. and collect so-called
equalization fee which could BE- paid
out to cooperatives and others who ex-
port those products and sell them at
loss compared with prices ruling in
the home market. By this plan, Sc
it is commended by advocates of the
bill, producers will be able to get rid
of their SURPRISES without disturbing
prices in the home market.
Of all these farm "relief" bills that
are or have been before Congress,
the principles involved in the Haugen
vi and the Senate bill spoons red by

FARM REL IEF LEGISL ALTON
By GEORGE E. ROBERTS
From The Monthly Bank For June Issued By
The National City Bank of New

Senator McNary, are the most OBJ
jectionable. Both bills would estab-
lish what amounts to a Treasury sub
sidy on certain agricultural products
and would involve the Government
in price fixing. This country should
consider carefully before it embarks
OH any plan OF setting up Govern
mcnt export corporation to sell food
stuffs to workers in European coun-
tries at lower prices than to our own
workers at home. Moreover, such
artificial sterilization would prove
harmful to agriculture itself, because
it would tend to stimulate the contin-
ued production of SURPRISES and thus
aggravatc- the very conditions it was
meant to remedy.
Considerably less Objectionable is
the Tincher bill, which provides for
the establishment of Federal Farm
Advisory Board and Farmers Market
ing Commission to aid in cooperative
marketing of farm products. While
the bill provides for an appropriation
OF $lOO,0O0,OO0 by the Government
to be used as revolving fund from
which loans might be made to cooper
alive organizations, the price fixing
feature is eliminated, and the bill has
been declared acceptable to the Ad-
mnistration. The plan, however, is
elaborate and costly. Least objection
able of all the bills was the original
Aswell-C Curtis bill, which provided for
a Government appropriation of only
$l0,O00,000 and was simply Govern
ment aid in promoting cooperative or
CARNATIONS. This bill, however, was
not generally regarded as radical
enough, and was usually counted out
of the running; it has since been re-
modelled more along the lines of the
Tincher bill, with a provision calling
for an appropriation of $140,000,0OO
from the Treasury.
Proposed Legislation Unnecessary
All of these measures, however, if
not definitely harmful are at least I'M
necessary, as the difficulties against
which agriculture has been contend
ing cannot be corrected by price fix
ing or further extension Of agricul-
tura1 credit
At the bottom of the farm troubles
is the fact that production Of farm
products was overstimulated during
the war. New areas were brought
under cultivation, and prices Of old
lands rose to Levels which were far
out Of line with anything that could
be sustained once the war shortage
in foodstuffs was brought to all end
BY the return of the soldiers to the
fields of Europe. Farmers saddled
themselves - with capital CHARGES,
