SENATOR M'NARY
AGAIN PRESENTS
FARM AID BILL
Radical Changes Made
In Measure Which Was
Twice Vetoed.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The old
McNary- IIaugen farm relief bill
with the equalization fee removed
and few more new provisions
added was introduced in the senate
today by Senator McNary, Rep,
Ore.
1t provides for creation of a fed
cral farm board with a revolving
fund of $3,000,000 to finance sur
plus crop disposal and to promote
orderly marketing of agricultural
products.
The board would be authorized to
loan money to stabilization corpora
tiOns made up of cOopcrativeS and
other farm organizations and to
create advisory councils for each
agricultural commodity handled by
the corporations.
The corporations, under this plan,
would bear any losses in marketing
their surpluses. Only the expense of
running the machinery of the bill
would be borne by the federal GOV
ornament. Under the old McNary.
IiduSttt DlIl, lNlec Nclotu ny IGcSl'
dent Coolidge, the government
agency itself would have handled
the surplus in times of emergency
and where losses were incurred
would have levied fee from the
producers to reimburse the national
treasury.
The new bill is based on the
theory that the stabilization corpor-
ations themselves can handle any
surplus and that no emergency re-
quiring government handling will
arise.
Heart Of Plan
Sterilization corporations are
the heart of the plan,' McNary
said in Il statement. "Through
these corporations, owned and con
trolled by cooperative associations
and other organizations of pro
ducers, the seasonal or years total
surpluses will be handled for the
benefit of all producers, without

WASHINGTON, rec. farm re-

which cannot be considered at this
session of congress, leaders said to-
day as senate and house gathered to
hear President Coolidge's message
on the state of the nation.
The farm bloc almost unanimously
turned its back on the old plan for
immediate action as a result of ad-

ed on the President s message. They
privately expressed the opinion that
they would rather wait and put the
next farm bill up to Prcsidcnt-elect
Hoover than deliver it to President
Coolidge.
The tariff revision matter was
settled definitely when the house

Asking For More Money
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Dee. i.-Senator
Phipps, Republican, Colorado, said
at the White House today he was
highly pleased with the reeom-
mendations made by the engineering
board of the Boulder dam project.
Phipps conferred with President
Coolidge on the report, which he
characterized as very conserva-
tive.
While the engineers estimated
higher cost for the project, Phipps
said, their figure was not insur-
mountablc He said he favored the
Black canyon site, recommended by
the board
After comforting with President
Coolidge at the White House to
ascertain what the President meant
by the suggestion to leave power in
the Boulder dam project to develop
ment by private enterprise, Senator
johnson, author of the measure,
said he interpreted the message as
distinctly favorable to his bill.
Johnson said, "the Presidents
message is distinctly favorable to
our bill. Not only have we the past
utterances of the President but now
with Il resume of the new en-
ginccring commission s report be-
fore him, the President definitely
recommends our measure. Our OPP
ponents pretend to find some con-
ISOLATION in the statement in the
message that electrical field should
be left to private enterprise; but
this cannot of course be construed
to prohibit the state, the cities or
political subdivisions from exercis-
ing their preferential rights of
power. The federal waterpower act
so provides for such preferential
rights, our bill makes this plain;
and nothing in the message in any
way affects these rights.
"The senate bill accords the gov
crnment the option of constructing
a generating plant. This provision
was inserted at the instance of the
