FARM BILL HINTS
Of LONG SESSION
Issue of Federal Price Control
Likely to Involve Pro-
tracted Debate.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Examination of the farm relief bill
completed by the House committee on
agriculture has revealed so many revo-
lutionary principles in the field Of Fed
eral legislation that Speaker Longworths S
hopes of a brief session may go glim-
mering as debate becomes extended.
The preamble of the proposed bill
declares the policy of Congress to be
to promote effective merchandising" Of
agricultural commodities and Ito pro-
tect. control and stabilize the current
of interstate and foreign commerce" "
Congress would endeavor to accomplish
this by minimizing speculation, pre-
venting ineficient and wasteful methods
of distribution and limiting undue and
excessive price fluctuations" and by
aiding lin preventing and controlling
surpluses in any agricultural COM
modify through orderly production and
distribution, so as to maintain advan-
tageous domestic markets and prevent
such surpluses from unduly depressing
prices of the commodity
Express Their Hopes.
These principles express the hopes
and aspirations of the group who, for
SO many years, have sponsored the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, but the new measure
suggests a method different from the
equalization fee in carrying out the
purposes of those who want agriculture
placed on an equality with the other
industries"
There are many in Congress who do
not want to go that far. who are averse
to seeing the Government undertake to
control" prices of farm products be-
cause the precedent, in their judgment,
would be dangerous and would open the
way to price control of products in all
industries engaged in interstate and for
eign commerce. They fear, in other
words, that industry some day may be
placed on an equality with agriculture.
There are some parts of the pro-
posed bill which will be the basis for
prolonged discussion. just as the
equalization fee was declared the heart
of the McNary- -Haugen bill last ses-
sion, so are the advances to be made
out of a revolving fund of 100000, 900
the crux Of the new plan.
Much to Stir Debate.
While the Federal Farm Board would
withhold advances from any co-opera-
tive or producers organizations whose
efforts might be construed as aiding in
overproduction, the bulk of the money
would be used to assist the so-called
stabilization corporations in purchas-
ing or agreeing to purchase crops at
basic prices, so as to prevent sharp
declines due to world market prices.

PROHIBITION IS SEEN
AS BIGGEST ISSUE
Congressman, Returning to
Capitol Hill, Tell of Con.
stituents' Views.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Members of Congress, back in wash
ington this week, reveal the opinion that
prohibition remains the one and only
Nationwide issue of genuine popular
interest.
In the farming West, agricultural re-
lief Is the paramount proposition at the
moment. In the nter-mountain coun-
try beyond the Mississippi, the Hoover
administrations oil-conservation pro-
gram is absorbing attention.
In the industrial East, prospective re-
vision of the tariff grips the public's at
tention, with controversy between the
Federal Reserve Board and high finance.
Prohibition at All Points.
But the question that is being talked
about. argued about and wondered
about-Esst and West, North and South
lis prohibition. Skilled observers of
popular trends are comparing notes on
Capitol Hill. in the opening hours OF
the special session. and agree that their
respective constituents, no matter what
parts Of the country they inhabit, are
alike as next-door neighbors in one di-
rection. The eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act are their favorite
topics of conversation.
HOOver's Plea Gets Results.
Representatives and Senators pretty
universally report that President Hoo
ver's inaugural address, with its personal
appeal to individual citizens to help in
observing and enforcing the liquor laws,
has had a widespread result. It hasn't
put everybody on the water wagon yet,
but members of Congress are certain
that the effect of the Presidents admo-
nitions will be cumulative.
All of them know of isolated instances
among so-called "better-class citizens. y
In which Mr.. Hoover's request has been
promptly acted upon. Golf clubs in
various parts of the country, which
hitherto had no compunction about
about turning locker rooms into speak
easies, are said to have gone dry. There
is general conviction among politicians
that the Presidents plea is going to do
more for prohibition than the jones'

 The ore is highly mineralized, containing silver, lead, and zinc, all in paying quantities. Zinc has been found on the Sound before, in small quantities, but, so far as known, this is the first dis covery of silver-lead ore in quantities in the district.
