More Farm Relief

new legislative plan through which the farm
ers may control prices and make cooperation among
themselves virtually compulsory has been offered by
farm leaders Of Nebraska for consideration as a prae-
,ical substitute for the McNary-Haugen theory of
farm relief.
The plan Is q combination Of the ~Jardine, or So
called administration plan, made public last summer,
the debenture plan on protected farm commodities
which has found favor with the National Grange. II IL
20 be the subject of a farm conference the latter part
of this month. and is expected TO form the basis of
legislation which will be asked by the farm interests
Of congress this winter. The president has been ask
"a "a nut this or something equally definite in his mes
page to congress.
The plan is intended to place agriculture by law
on thi same favored basis as other industries. 1t was
formulated by Ohio farp organization officials and
has ne endorsement Of the legislative committee Of
the bhio State Grange as a practical SUBSTITUTE LOT
precious farm relief measures.
1.-THE law is designed to give the growers tariff
helefits on the surplus crops, discourages overpro-
d,ltion and affords protection against competing i'm
pEted agricultural commodities. Also, il is asserted.
il would not discriminate against some groups Of farm
rs for the benefit of other groups, a contention raised
Iy the opponents Of the McNary-Haugen bill. It would
Aet M no costly, intricate machinery. as its operations
would build up and protect the eooperatives and would
safeguard both the United States treasury and the CO.
operatives against losses. Only recognized cooperatives
would be permitted TO participate in the management
Of the control boards which will handle each eommodi-
~. and proponents Of the plan insist that this feature
would virtually compel all producers to align them
selves with the commodity eOoperativss.
The federal farm board would be charged with the
auty Of finding the average yearly production Of farm
commodities Of which the United States exports q sur
Mus and the estimated production for the current year.
a revolving fund Of $4,000 600 is proposed to purchase
piants and to be used 10 stabilize prices.
Senator II. B. Howell Of Nebraska. prominent in the
McNary-Haugen group. has stated that he will urge in
.hut sha nlan he tried ont a. one or
tvo crops first. He asserted that the Jardine plan Is
not satisfactory, since it left the farmers free 20 come
A or stay out Of the eooperatives, and that some
method Of coercion must be found such as the new
plan establishes.
The principle Of higher prices and compulsory CO
noeration, the senator said, was what he held impera-
tive. not the specific ~-Haugen measure. He
EXPRESSED the view that inasmueh as there would be
considerable conflict Of opinion relative to the effects
~ the measure il would be advisable TO eonfine II to
one or two commodities until it had been proved either
\ success or q failure.

Three important changes in the volstead law may
be expected in the coming Congress. Different in
terpretations Of different clauses of the law have been
made by United States district judges, causing en-
barrassment in the administration. An amendment is
likely to he adopted which will clear the law Of am
biguities, leaving no ground for varying interprets-
tions
Under ; present law in various Jurisdictions the
courts have held that witnesses ~testifying TO viola
lions must have drunk of the liquor in question. An
amendment will make such practice unnecessary.
A third and very important change viii be u pro-
vision comforting upon recognized law enforcement
agencies authority to conduct the prosecution Of dry
law offenders, Of course within the discretion Of the
court In many Instances individual violators have
broken the law SO many times that the court, due to
e~ongested calendars. will not be able to prosecute ia
more than 9 few specific instances. The amendment
viii enable . United States attorney to avail himself
OF the services Of outside legal talent.
In instances where United States attorney pleads
lack Of resources to prosecute, such reinforcement will
act Is u stimulus. The law could provide that any
competent court eould try the case.
In the last senate only six voted against the re-
organization bin. BY this time I assume that every
senator Is disposed to give the Constitution q square
deal.
