FARM RELIEF: |:
BILL VETOED.
BY COOLIDGE
President Kills M'Nary-
Haugen Measure Despite
Political Threats.
: WEST AND EAST ISSUE
TiIIers of Soil Lose to Money
Interests.

% RW&SHINGToN, Feb. 25.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today vetoed the Nc
Nary-Haugen farm relief bill.
The President, defying threats OF
farm leaders of dire political repri-
sails, refused to affix his signature
to the agriculture aid measure,
which he and members of his Cabi-
net have consistently opposed.
Passage of the bill by Congress
placed Mr.. Coolidge in the difficult
position 81 having to offend one of
two powerful groups-the farmers
of the West or the financial inter-
ests of the East, the latter practi-
caIly united in opposition to the
measure.
Held Invalid
The President, in a lengthy veto
message, held that the act was un-
constitutional and attached an opin-
ion of the Attorney General to this
effect.
MANY reasons exist why the Nc
.Haugen bill ought not to be
approved, but it is impossible to
state them without writing a book, y
said the message. 1.-THE most de-
cisive one is that it is not constitu-
tional.
"Surely real farm relief measure
must be Just and impartial and open
the way for all farmers. Surely it
Amust not contemplate, as this meas
1ure inescapably does, that farmers
in some regions should be penalized
for the benefit of those in other re,
gions.
"It has been represented that this
bill has been unanimously approved
by our farmers. Several of our
largest farm examinations have re-
fused to support it and important
minorities in ttA organizations re-
corded as indorsing it have protest
ed to me against 1t.
The President, in his closing para
graph, suggested the passage OF
other farm legislation now before
Congress, and again reviewed his
recommendation that some conser-
vative measure be passed.
Ends Fight
Veto of the A1cNary- -Haugen bill
definitely kills that measure and no
effort will be made to pass it over
his veto.
Farm bloc leaders of Congress
privately admitted defeat as soon as
the Presidents message came to the
Senate.
Political reaction to the veto was
strong; farm bloc members con-
tended Coolidge has forfeited his
chance for the presidency or
Surrendered to the industrial East
so he can run again" opponents of
the measure said he took the only
course open to him.
