SENATE PASSES
FARM AID BILL
McNary Plan Sent to House by
1923 Vote. Margin Wider
Than Last Year.

Washington-The McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill, carrying features
which caused President Coolidge to
veto it a year ago, was passed by the
senate and sent to the house, which
also is expected to approve it at an
early date.
The vote was SO to %. as compared
to the AZ to 80 vote at the last ses,
sion. While this is more than the
two-thirds majority which would be
required to override a veto it was
regarded as doubtful that with the full
membership present two-thirds
majority could be obtained.
President Coolidge has left no
doubt in the minds of congressional
leaders that the bill still carries fea-
lures Objectionable to him, principal
" the equalization fee by which it is
proposed to raise funds to take care
of the surplus crops so as to maintain
prices of farm products at a higher
level
A direct show down of senate SEN
timent on the equalization fee was
provided by an amendment by Sena.
tor Sackett, Republican, of Kentucky,
proposing elimination of that provi-
sion of the bill. The proposal was
rejected, 46 to 81, after two hours OF
vigorous debate during which Senator
McNary, Republican, of Oregon, in
charge of the bill made an eloquent
plea for enactment of the bill in the
form the Representatives of farmers
organizations had requested.
Before coming to the final vote on
the bill itself, the senate rejected, "a
to 5, substitute by Senator Brook
hart, Republican, of Iowa, which would
have provided for a direct government
subsidy up to $6OO,OOO,O0O to meet
losses incurred by farmers in market
ing their surplus crops.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page y

the leaders and brings embarrassment
to those who have previously COM
mitted themselves.
Passage of the farm relief bill in
the Senate has renewed discussion
Oh this subject in Washington. Opin-
ion is to the effect that many items
were included in this bill which their
proponents knew full well would
never become law. 1t is an easy mat
ter to write home to the agricultural
organizations interested in the mat
ter, telling of the congressman III
terest in farm problems and pointing
to speeches and votes on the farm
relief bill.
Relieved of Responsibility.
This policy relieves them of re-
spOnsibility back home because they
can point out that the failure of the
proposed legislation remained with
the President in event he decides to
veto the measure The betting favOrs
veto because a similar measure was
disapproved by the President at he
last Congress as it contained the
equalization fee and other items OBJ
jectionable to the Administration.
Farm legislation is loaded with pO-
litical dynamite. This is indicated 10y
the attitude of candidates for Presi-
dency now members of the Senate.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, Watson of
Indiana, and Norris of Nebraska, all
Republican candidates for President,
voted for the McNary-Haugen bill.
Sen ator Golf of West Virginia, and
Senator Borah, other Republican can
didates, voted against the bill. The
campaigns of Mr.. Lowden and Mr..
Dawes hinge largely upon the fate of
this measure, as they draw their
strength from the farming regions.
Flood Plan Threatened.
Another bill which is threatened
with the Presidential veto is the Mis-
sissippi flood relief plan. The Ad-
miniStratiOn has notified its support
ers in the House that the bill as pass
ed by the Senate must be changed
the approval of the White House
spokesman. The President apparently
desires to block excessive eXpendi-
lures in the flood area as well as to
relieve the Federal government of
some of the expenses. 1t is doubtful
whether the proponents of the flood
relief bill and the farm measure,
both regarded vital to the benefactors
can muster two-thirds vote in both
the Senate and House in order to
overcome a possible veto.
The Senate Finance Committee is
struggling valiantly with the revenue
legislation. Considerable pressure
has been brought to bear for the tax
reduction bill before the summer ad-
journment. 1t is known that the fate
of the tax bill will have much to do
with the volume of campaign contri-
buttons. Grateful beneficiaries are
asked to remember the helping hand.
The House leaders are endeavoring
to arrange a slate to allow an ad-
journment of Congress early in June.
The date has been tentatively set for
June s, which will permit legislators
to pack their grips and reach the
Kansas City and Houston conventions
in time to select candidate for
President. Only a small percentage
of bills now pending will reach the
voting stage

TRAVELLING THIRD CLASS

In America we travel all one way.
except we can go Pullman at little
higher rate. Anybody in America
can buy a berth in sleeper and
we don't consider that travelling in
any special class except that it is
more comfortable.
We are reminded from England
that travel in that country is in three
classes. and until the other day the
third class travellers did not have the
privilege of sleeping anywhere else
than in the particular third class
coach in which they paid to ride.
Now. however, harassed by grow
ing bus travel the English railroads
have gone so far as to provide sleep
ing accommodations for third class
travellers. 1t isn't kind of sleep
ing accommodation that most
Americans would relish, but it is q
bunk, anyway. and vast improve
ment over trying to sleep on hard
third class seat.
The competition between railroads
aud buses in England is terrific and
there can be little doubt that the
bus lines, offering only one class
tickets and that the best at a lower
rate than the railroads charge, are
making it uncomfortable for the old
er means of travel.
In the United States competition
between the buses and the railroads
likewise is gaining in momentum.
Only the other day the bus line
" hich was established last summer
between Philadelphia aud Los
Angeles, has extended its terminus
TO New York. The distance is cover
ed in fi,e days. which is one day
more than the railroads take, but is
through d Scenically attractive route.
and costing less
The best way the railroads can
meet this nexora bile competition is
to reduce their rates. They are re-
luctant 10 do this and will have to
take the consequences.

THE WESTERN VOTE

Governor Smith has been told by
no less a parsonage than the gov
ernor of North Dakota that so per
cent of the farmers of that great
grain state are going to vote the
Democratic ticket: that the Nom
partisan League, dominating the
state, favors him: that he himself,
formerly Republican, is off the
G. Q. P. reservation.
Senator Frazier of North Dakota,
visiting Herbert Hoover. says the
situation in North Dakota is dubious.
That's as far as the senator would
CO. but it seems TO mean much.
Conditions in South Dakota. the
Democratic candidate has been told,
are like in it's sister state. In Mon
tana. where agriculture is mixed
with mining. there is so much doubt
about the outcome that both sides
are claiming the state. Senators
Wheeler and Walsh. and the La
Toilette third party of 1924, are
known to be mostly for Smith.
Wisconsin has been knocked
gal!eywest by the prohibition CAM
paign. Every time speech by Mrs.
Willebrandt sees print in that state
more votes are made for Smith. The
La Toilette third party machinery
in the state is all Smith, although
young La Toilette himself has not
yet come out with an announcement
Here are at least four northwest
ern states which it is reasonable to
believe yield more than a fighting
chance to the Democratic candidate.
As Smiths train rolled along big
signs were plastered along the line.
They read in substance that wheat
cost $l.so to produce and was SELL
ing for around half that much. And
that's the thing that is helping the
Democrats. Big crops and low prices
are the most serious factor in the
northwestern campaign.
