DEFINITION ASKED
OF PARTY LABEL
Senate Engages in Lively Tilt
Over Meaning of Term
Progressive.

The various shades of political opin
!on in the country We're debated on the
floor of the Senate today when Senator
King, Democrat, of Utah, proposed
that the flexible provisions of the tar.
iff law be investigated by a special
committee of five Senators, three
chosen from the ma jority party and
two from the minority. but with the
understanding that one of the ma jor.
3ty members be a progressive Re
publican.
Senator King offered this amend
ment to the resolution of Senator
Robinson of Arkansas. which would
have placed the inquiry into the work
Of the Tariff Commission in the
hands of the finance committee.
Questions Terms Meaning.
There Immediately arose a lively
but good -natured discussion of the
question of what constitutes progress
Sive republicanism. Senator Bing-
ham. Republican. of Connecticut,
raised a parliamentary inquiry
against the King amendment. asking
how the presiding officer would be
able to determine upon a 'progres-
Sive Republican" for appointment to
the special committee.
Senator Robinson OF Arkansas re-
have no difficulty in determining who
ARE progressive Republicans.
Senator Bingham replied that the
biographies in the Congressional Di-
rectOry disclosed that only one Sena-
tor, the Junior Senator from Wiscon-
sin, is referred to as a progressive
Republican"
Senator Robinson came back with
the observation that he would not be
guided by the 'eulogieS" of Senators
as inserted in the Congressional Di-
fectory.
Suggests Definition.
Senator Bingham asked If it would
be mark of a progressive Republican
If a man always voted with the Demo-
Gratis.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas re-
piled that a progressive Republican
would be one who always looked care
fully into the plans of the regular Re-
publicans.
Senator Bingham then asked the
Senator from Arkansas if he would
object to changing the amendment so
that one member of the special COM
Inittee would have to be ''progres-
Sive Democrat"
This prompted Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, to interject the statement that
that would not be possible, because
"all Democrats are progressive"

RABBIT tracks,
KincheIoe Says Secretary
"Winds In and Out; Leaves
Position Unknown"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
I Secretary Jardine was accused OF
rabbit tracking" on farm legislation
at hearings today before the House
agriculture committee by Representa-
tive kincheloe, Democrat, Kentucky.
Rabbit tracking. he explained, was
weaving in and out and leaving
doubt as to his exact position"
William Hirth, chairman of an agri-
cultural conference committee ap-
pointed at Des Moines, was testify
ing at the time on bill designed to
handle the surplus crop problem
through collection of an equalization
fee on agricultural products and the
with the subject.
Uncertain of Stand.
Asked how Secretary Jardine viewed
the proposal, Hirth declared he could
not say, although few days ago he
appeared to be against 1t.
This led to Mr.. kincheloe's remarks,
after which Hirth declared the Secre-
tary did say there was such thing
as an agricultural problem and he
hoped it would be solved"
Mr.. Hirth declared that the Repub-
lican party would be held response

farmers.
Whoever takes lightly the action
of the Des Moines conference, he said,
''does so at his peril"
While he declared primarily re-
sponsibllity rested with the majority
party, he added that the Democrats,
too had a share in this responsibility,
since they also had come out for farm
relief.
Warns Against InactiOn.
He read a portion of the Democratic
platform committing the party to
some sort of an export corporation to
take care of surplus crops.
"Misinterpret the Des Moines con-
ference at your peril, l say to both
political parties" he continued.
Reading the Republican platform
section dealing with the agricultural
question, he said:
1T is possible the men at Cleve-
land did not take this seriously
maybe it was what Is known as po-
litical apple sauce-but I want to tell
you there were hundreds Of thou
sands of farmers who did take 1t Sc
riously, and they are asking the ma
jority party to fulfill it's pledges"
