porting agricultural relief measures
took new lease on life today when

was present The purpose was to
agree upon farm relief measure
which it was believed the president
would sign.
Those attending the conference en-
dorsed the McNary equalization fee
measure now pending before the SEN
ate with several notifications. They
favored reducing the revolving fund
from $3.50, 900 to S175,OO0,OOO Of
which s75,OO0,0OO would be used for
the disposal of surplus cotton.
Another amendment agreed upon
would authorize the immediate opera
tion Of the equalization fee provision
on all of the five basic farm commoul-
ties: wheat, cattle, swine, cotton ana
corn But the actual operation OF the
fee would be left in the hands of the
producers of any of the commoditie'
who would determine by referen-
dunn when they wished it to become
effective.
The bill in it's original form pro
vides that the fee would not operate
against cotton and corn until three

can offer a solution for the prohibi-

There is no use of running can

puts dry plank in it's platform,
he said.
If we have any idea of taking the
issue away from governor Smith we
must present solution. The pro-

the driest of the whole lot, but l
cannot and will not tolerate candi-

Saloon league as money collecting
agency to pay few good salaries,

ever did was to black jack the re-
