REPEAL OF GRAIN FUTURES
LAW
WHEREAS, the grain futures
law has always been a detriment
to the farmers of the nation be-
cause under it speculative inter
ests have been able to manipulate
the prices of farm products to
their advantage, and because it
enables such interests to obstruct
and prevent the sterilization of
prices, and because it encourages
conspiracies between domestic and
foreign citizens for such manipu-
lation and obstruction, with the
depression of the price of agricul-
tural commodities as the ultimate
result, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the congress
Of the United States take immedi-
ate steps to repeal said grain fut-
ures law, and secure the control
of all commodity exchanges, in or
der that public interests might be
protected, and further, that con-
gress authorize the farm board to
buy 300,0O0,000 of bushels of
wheat in the open market, demand
ing the delivery of the actual
wheat, in order that the market
may be stabilized, thus further
protecting public interest, and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
that in our opinion, this agricul-
tural community can never be or
par with the industrial commu-
!, nifty, and receive the benefits guar.
anteed it under the American Con

artificial market influences of tn,
speculative interests, there can b,
no sterilization under the Qua
marketing, and
!, BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That, we do not believe that sucl
a market is possible until tn
speculative interests have been en-
iirely removed from al trading i
f agricultural commodities, and, b
e it further
al RESOLVED, that copies of thi
IS resolution be sent to Senator
Wheeler and Walsh and the pres
