1000 900 Belong TO CO-Operative>.

Senator Tess replied that there are
6 500 900 farmers and that about -
00o 900 are members of the co-opeI1
tives. He estimated that about one
third of the farmers produce. there
fore. was handled through the CO.
operatives.
Senator McNary denied that there
was any such percentage. lie said
that the total value Of the farm prod
uce OF the country was between ten
and twelve billion dollars, and that.
according to the information given by
Senator Fess, about $2.000,0O0, 900
worth was handled through the CO
operatives.
Senator Tess said that his bill had
been sidetracked on the ground that
it was merely a loaning agency to
farmers. He insisted that the loans
which would be made from the $780,
600 900 revolving fund would not be
made to farmers. but TO Incorporated
cooperative marketing associations.
This criticism of his bill, Senator
Fess said, seemed To have some III
terror purpose.
Says Members Benefit.
| Senator McEary denied that any
4! one had ever claimed that under the
| Fess bill money would be. loaned to
| the farmers individually. He insist
| ed, however, that loans TO co.opera
| tive organizations are loans for the
| benefit of the members of the organl'
| cations and that it was mere clubbing
to say that the loans were not made
| to members themselves.
Senator Capper of Kansas. one of
| those who supported the McNary'
| hi hl1f
| the Tess bill. was ready today to
| offer an amendment to the Tess bill
| to meet the objection of the Milk Pro
ducers' Cooperative Association. This
amendment would substitute some OF
| the provisions of the so-Called Tincher
| bill, with relation to the appointment
! of the cooperative marketing com
mission, for those in the Tess bill. The
| Tincher bill gave the co-operatives
| the power of nominating members OF
| the board, while the Fess bill left 1t
| entirely to the President. The Cap
per amendment will be compromise
| between the two. giving the co-opera-
| tives the power to recommend persons
for appointment to the board. Senator
| FeSs was unwilling to accept the
| Tincher provision as it stood and the
| milk producers finally agreed to ac-
cept the compromise plan.
New Section Attacked.
The Tess plan was attacked from
a new angle this afternoon when
Minority Leader Robinson Of Arkansas
and Chairman Norris Of the agricul
ture committee found fault with a
new section inserted i'll the bill today
which would require co-operatives re
ceiving loans from the Government to
lew an amortization fee on the prod
ucts of the association.
Senator Robinson characterized the
new section as unreasonable and un
justifiable and declared it would con
stitute a mortgage on the products
Of the co.operatives receiving loans
He said it was just another form OF
the equalization fee.
Senator Glass, Democrat. of Vir
ginia, asked If the War Finance Cor
poration, with 100000. 1000, could not
cure the situation in six years how
could this plan accomplish it with
