Arouses Speculation.
The imminence of vote on the
farm relief bill in both the Senate and
the House gave rise to speculation
today as to whether the bill, if passed
by both Houses, would be approved
by President Coolidge.
While the final form the bill may
take is still in doubt. predictions were
made both that the President would
sign and that he would not, if the
measure carried the equalization fee
plan.
Some of the opponents of the
McNary bill freely admitted today
that the bill would pass the Senate
and that it would probably pass the
House.
So far there has been no indication
