PRESIDENT DRAFT IS
FARM-REL|EF BILL
Administration to Push Own
Measure in Next Session
of Congress.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Some kind Of farm legislation is in.
evitabla at the next session Of Con
gross. While the Northwesto aG-
ricultural conference i'm session at St
Paul warns President Coolidge of the
political consequences Of avoidin 70
issue any longer. and. lille the callers
at Rapid City tell the President of
the importance OF doing something
for agriculture, work is proceeding
on the tentative draft of n bill which,
it is hoped, eventually will be
accepted by some of the groups
now alienated because of the veto Of
the McNary Haugen bill.
The plan is that which was dis
closed in these dispatches several
weeks ago. namely. the creation of a
Federal farm board. which would
have a revolving fund to lend to com
modify sterilization corporations.
The idea is that 60 per cent of the
funds needed to buy into the market
shall he furnished by the Federal
Farm Loan Board and 40 per cent if
necessary from the commodity sta
bilization corporations.
Close AffiliatiOn Proposed.
The plan calls for afiliation with
the co-operatives in the most direct
way, but is believed to provide ma
chinerY which will take care of the
non-members. AS to the merit of the
plan, its details have not been suffi-
GENTLY distributed to get national
opinion or even to get a reaction from
the farm leaders. But the conference
at st. Paul, which asks for the prin-
ciples of the McNary-Haugen bill, has
been hearing speeches on the inn
pOrtance of economic equality of agri-
culture. Although an equalization
fee is insisted upon, the Coolidge adj
ministratiOn is preparing to argue
that the plan it has in mind will be
better than an equalization fee.
The essential thing to report at this
time is that notwithstanding the APP
parent lack of attention the subject
is getting in the East, officials here
and those who are in touch with the
President at Rapid City are convinced
that something will have to be done
between now and December to get
compromise bill in shape.
Will Push Own Bill.
In fact, it may be said with definite
ness. that the administration will not
be caught on the defensive next ses-
sion so far as alternative legislation
is concerned. but will push it's own bill
Some of the principal features of the
Curtis Crisp bill will be included, as
many of it's sections won widespread
farm support, though on the vital SUBJ
ject of sterilization of the surplus it
did not go far enough to suit the Nc
Nary-Haugen school.
The question of what purpose Presi-
dent Coolidge had in mind in selecting
a South Dakota town for his Summer
offices may be debated by the poll
ticians as having been move on his
part to win the West, but there is
beginning to be talk that the West
has begun to win Mr.. Coolidge, for
the signs point to readiness on his
part to accept much more radical
bill than any that has yet been pre-
scented TO him by his own advisers.

side of the car they commanded the
driver to stop instead of which an at
tempt was made, as the officers be-
lieved, to crowd them from the road.
This did not happen. however, az the
motorcycle slowed down. which placed
them back of the automobile, when
Campbell drew his revolver and fired
two shots, one of the bullets going into
the body of the car from the rear and
was not found, as it had not penetrated
through the cushion on the inside; the
second shot went through the glass of
the rear curtain. striking Hall in the
back of the head who, from the evil
dence, must have been seated on the
right hand side of the front seat of the
car. The car did not stop after the
shots were fired. but proceeded north
through Hardwood road and came to
stop at Rock Creek Church road, al
most three-quarterS of mile from
where the shooting occurred.
Hall was found lying over the right
front door of the car with blood on
the side alongside Of him and the side
of the car. no blood being found on
the portion of the seat occupied by the
driver.
Davis, one of the occupants of the
car, was seen by Harold Holdings
worth to leave the car from the
drivers seat and proceed down the
road. where he was captured by Pvt.
Buchanan.
Hall Died lnstantaneOusly.
Upon the arrival at the Garfield
Hospital of Hall, DIR. f.. X. Smith of
the hospital staff pronounced him
dead, and testified at the inquest that
he had been dead for several minutes,
and when asked if Hall could have
driven the car after being shot replied
that it would have been impossible,
as his death was practically instan-
taneOus.
II do not wish to criticize the action
of the cororfer's jury in this matter,
as this department did its full duty
in presenting the case to it, and it is
now n matter entirely up to the
United States District Attorney as to
whether or not further investigation
should be made.
II do, however. criticize the action
of Pvts. Buchanan and Campbell for
failing to comply with the provisions
of the manual governing the force
and orders issued from these head
quarters, and 1t is recommended that
both be cited before the Police Trial
Board for violating section 3 of

Lieut.. jeremiah A. Sullivan, who
was in command of the tenth precinct
on the night of the shooting, informs
me that he did not give Campbell
permission to ride in Buchanan's side

the car was that Campbell's machine
had gone out of service, and he was
temporarily riding with Buchanan.

been sent TO the shop up to this
