relief legislation under way IL Wash
ington. particularly referring to the
dcbentllrc plan. He showed that
there is a good dcal OF diversified
thinking on The general subject Of
farm relief. -Four senators asked for
their view Of tho cardinal principle
Of relief under another bill. each OK
pressed z different principle.
Mr.. Mlesen said conditions have

HALL ibts Plan
He read fronf~a letter written BY
Congressman Tom Hall. doubling that
the senate dobenture plan will help
the farmer much. The dcben.urc
certificates cannot be used to pay
income tax-only tariff duties on I'M
ports-so they are not Of direct bene-
fit to the farmer. He must, If he
ever gets any. have them discounted.
That mean a process Of shaving
them. may be a hair bob, the con-
gresham thought. Even in tariff
benefit, the farmer has not been get
ting more than seven or eight cents
a bushel, Mr.. Hall wrote. It would
be the exporters. rather, who would
set the debenturcs and they would
get them at their full value. thus
standing the only chance of getting
approximate value cut of them.
Under the debenturc plan, half the
rate of the tariff is to be paid as a
debenture bounty. The rate on wheat
is AZ cents. That would mean q
cents dcbcnture bounty - SCI on a
hundred bushels. Mr.. Hall thought

Cites Hoevcr's Reasons
MI. Miesen cited the reasons Pres
ident Hoover gave for opposing the
debcnture plan. He also quoted an
old farmer who called at his office
the other day and discussed the plan.
This farmer said its adoption i'm

regulate and init the acreage farm

could SOW.
Mr.. Miescn said that back Of all
the plans for relief lay the idea Of
Investigation and of cooperation.
That was the Hoover idea. He showed
what that meant by citing the meth

corporation, marketing dairy prod
