publicans are in power.
With the exception of few measures
providing for specific agricultural COM
modities, the forthcoming legislation.
If approved by Mr.. Hoover, will be the
first measure to formulate general
program of economic relief for that
SIC, 600, 000, 900 industry ever enacted by
Congress.
Since 1922, when farm relief was
brought to the attention of Congress by
Northwestern wheat growers. the legis-
lative proposals have passed through an
extensive process of evolution.
First Proposal Beaten in House.
The first proposal, providing for the
creation of Federal export corpora
ton, which would issue scrip To the
farmers in payment for their products,
was drafted in 1922 and two years later
reached the floor of the House, where
it was defeated by a margin of rs votes.
After his election in 1924, President
Coolidge, to carry out his party'S plat
form promises, called a conference of
farm leaders. Awaiting its report, Con-
gress devoted no efforts to legislation at
the next session.
That conferences recommendation
called for legislation to encourage CO.
operative marketing associations, which,
it proposed, should be placed under the
Federal control through licensing syS-
tenn. This was written into. bill which,
when introduced the next year. was
defeated in the House after strenuous
opposition by cooperative organizations.

to provide for the solution of future
problems growing out of the piling up OF
SURPRISES. some form of farm relief legis-
lation has had a prominent place IN the
discussion of Congress since 1922.
Coolidge Vetoed Two Measures.
Tw.ce-in 1927 and 1928-Congress
passed agricultural aid measures. but
each time they were vetoed by Calvin
Coolidge. In 1926 farm relief bill was
passed by the House. but failed to be
adopted by the Senate. while two other
measures previously were defeated IN
the House.
Mr.. Coolidge based his veto of the two
measures. which were known as the
McNary- Haugen bills. upon their provi-
sion for an equalization fee method OF
financing the marketing Of the farm
surplus products. The fee was method
devised to have the farmers contribute
their share of losses and marketing costs
to reimburse a government revolving
fund proposed for use in disposing Of
the products.
Fee Expected to BE Missing.
The farm relief proposals which the
two congressional committees expect to
work out before April Is undoubtedly
will not contain the equalization fee.
