McNary-Haugen
Supporters
Confident
Opponents Declare Supreme
Court VIII NuIEfy Law

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Confident
that President Coolidge win sign the
McNary-Haugen bill, farm relief
forces extended their battle lines
along the entire congressional front
today, determined to settle the four
year-old issue within a week.
With the senate engaged in spor-
adic debate on the measure under an
agreement to vote on Friday, the
house also took up the bill. Farm
bloc leaders claimed clear majority
III both houses.
Rep. Haugen (R) of Iowa, co-au-
thor of the bill, took issue with the
prediction Of Senator Tess (R) of
Ohio that President Coolidge would
veto the bill.
Think Cal Won Over.
tive talked farm relief with the
president many times" said Haugen.
81 believe we have removed all of
the Objectionable features Of the past
bills and l think he will accept the
verdict of congress-"
The next presidential campaign ap-
peared certain to be injected into
final debate on the bill as a result of
the last-minute plea of Ex-Governor
Frank o. Lowden Of Illinois for the
equalization fee. Opponents of the
bill declared that Lowden's declaration
was the first specific endorsement he
has made of pending farm relief
bill and dubbed the measure the
"Lowen-for-pr president" platform.
Unconstitutional?
Meanwhile Rep. Aswell (D) of
Louisiana, leader of the opposition in
the house, served notice that the bill
faces another hurdle if it becomes
law. The bin is unconstitutional, he
said, because it delegates taxing pow
err and legal fight against it will
be carried to the supreme court.
The McNary Haugen bill, as little
as it offers ze fatners, yet offers
too much for the sections of industry
not allied with it through '1og roll
ing" schemes for lower taxes, or what
rot.
Chamber of Commerce Opposes.
Protest against the evident deter
riination of congress to enact the
McNary- Haugen farm relief bill has
been issued by the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce. 1t declares that the cham
Der membership is opposed to "any
proposal for buying, selling, manu-
featuring or handling of agricultural
products by governmental agencies,
whether under the pretense of the ex-
ertion of price influence or other
wise"
Enactment of this measure, the
chamber says, will result disastrously
for the farmers, "and thus bring great
detriment to all branches of indus
try and commerce"
Desperate Situation.
Coolidge's reasons for signing the
bill, if and when he does, are the re-
suit of the feeling the administration
has that many defeats for friendly
senator's and congressman recently are
the result of deep dissatisfaction with
Coolidge prosperity" on the part Of
She farmers.
A little investigation by administra-
ton scouts has justified this view,
both aspects of it. The farmers are
uncomfortable, and they
blame Coolidge for it, in part. The
result is an anxiety on the part Of
the Coolidge regime to show the
american farmer that his needs are
and will be attended to,
as long as it doesn't cost too much.
"Sorry for Farmer"
How gloomy the administration has
grown, as to the prospects of the

Many Accomplishments
EXHIBIT AT LINWOOD

The last dahlia show of the sea

claimed by dahlia enthusiasts to be
the most colorful and most success
full season ever enjoyed by growers
of the bloom in this section. Dur
/ ing the past few years Pleasant

one of the dahlia growing centers
of the State, and the showing that
local growers have made in eXhib-
it's throughout the State have TO-
cused the attention of experts on
the men and women who have their
gardens here.
During the year several new spe-
cies have been developed in this
section. One of Judge C. C. Shinn' S

vile, is another amateur grower
who won number of awards this
year, while D.B. Edwards, of North
field, and Charles Fischer, of Lin

florists with shops in Atlantic City,
are unfolding the dahlia-growing
prestige of this ettion in the COM
mercial line. William Rentchler, a
commercial grower, was a big win
ner in the exhibit at Atlantic City
last month. He won ten firsts and
one second, and since then has won
prizes both in New York and Cam.
den.
All the growers of this section,
both amateur and professional, have
expressed their delight at the sue
cess OF the past season, and at tie
apparent quickening of public in
terest in the development of the
blooms. With this season closed,
preparations are being made for an
even bigger and better year, when
Pleasantville and Mainland growers
plan to be represented in every
worthwhile exhibit in this section.

Favor Repeal of Personal Elk.

CLAIM MUNICIPALITIES

ton Problems to Secure
More Equitable Tax on
Lands

The joint legislative conference
Of the Farm Bureau and the State
Grange has taken definite action
favOring the repeal of the personal
exemption tax on automobiles. This
step followed an all-day conference
at Trenton in which representatives
of every agricultural organization
of the State took part.
The action was prompted by the
farm organizations on the ground
that the automobile exemptions
We're robbing the municipalities of
huge amounts of property that
should be assessed. The confer
ence, which was attended by APP
proximately loo of the agricultural
leaders. was unanimous in the sup.
port of this measure.
Seek to Abolish Law.
The action of the farm organiza-
tons in taking direct stand on
this question places them in the
front for move in the Legislature
this winter to abolish the exemp-
ton of automobiles that was made
a law last winter. 1t is estimated
that the exemption of automobiles
removes from the State nearly S.
000,000 of taxable property.
Other subjects taken up Friday
and acted upon faverably by the
farm organizations were uniform
traffic regulations for all municipal
tiles of the State; compulsory au-
tomobile insurance on all cars and
trucks operated in the State, and
repeal of the 1919 law permitting
the State Highway Department to
occupy the right of way before con-
domination proceedings are started.
Seek Equitable Transaction.
The convention went on record
and ordered committee appointed
to make a study of all taxation pro-
blems with the idea of securing a
more equitable tax on farm lands.
1t is hoped by the farm leaders to
make an intensive study of the tax
alton system now in force in New
Jersey and to bring about a more
equitable taxation system for the
| farmers.
Among those attending the con-
ference were DIR. ]. G.. Lipman, di-
rector of the agricultural expert
ment station, New Brunswick; Pro-
lessor H. ]. Baker, director of the
extension service, New Brunswick;
William B. Duryee. secretary of
Agriculture; Senator David H. Ag-
ans, master of the State Grange;
Howard B. Hancock, president Of
the Farm Bureau, and other repre-
sentatives from dozen or more
agricultural organizations.
The meeting formed the basis of
the agricultural program to be pre-
scented TO the Legislature this com
ing winter.
