PROBLEM
AGAIN STALKS
PRESIDENT
Equalization Fee and Deben-
ture Plan to Be Sought in
Proposed Revision Of Bill
BY WILLIAM C. MURPHY, Jr.


In the seemingly innocuous an
nouncement that the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture has been
summoned to meet on November
"a, politically minded spectators
here see the beginning Of a move
ment which may have repercuS-
sions throughout the 1882 cam
paign.
The announcement purpose Of
the meeting is to consider mea-
sures for strengthening the Agri-
cultural Marketing Act which
created the Federal Farm Board.
That, in itself, is enough to pre-
cipitate q lively Congressional
row since several Senators have
declared publicly they will seek
to abolish the Board.
Old Issue Revived
But the real significance Of
the meetings is brought out by
the revelation that leaders Of
powerful farm organizations, af
ter cOnferring with Chairman
McNary (R.) Oregan, have de
cided they want both the equaliza
tiOn fee and the export debenturC
systems Of farm relief written
into the present law.
In the entire category Of re
cent legislative proposals, it would
be difficult to find another which
is more emphatically opposed tt
the views Of President Hoover
than these two suggested plans
for farm relief.
When the Senate was consider
ing the present Farm Board act
and an overwhelming majority
favored the debenture plan, Mr.
Hoover sent a letter to Senator
McNary opposing the amend
ment, couched in language al
vigorous as any Mr.. Hoover has
used in any of his communica
tions to Congress.
Equalization Fee Vetoed
The equalization fee proposal
has been twice approved by both
Houses Of Congress, only to be
vetoed by President Coolidge
There is considerable reason tc
believe that Mr.. Hoover, ther
Secretary Of Commerce, had much
to do with the framing of the
Coolidge veto messages and, il
any event, there is no doubt oi
Mr.. Hoover'S strong diSapprova
of this plan.
The Administration machine ir
the House which last session de
feated the debenture plan, was
wiped out by the last Congress
sional elections. Even if the Re
publicans organize the House ir
December, which is doubtful, they
will have no real control. The
new Senate is certain to be even
more anti-administration than its
predecessor which missed few
opportunities to oppose the Presi
dents wishes.
Hence there Is a strong prob
ability that If the farm Organiza
tiOn fee provisions added to the
present law, they will get what
they want SO far as Congress Is
concerned.

found sitting on a curb, and told
of having been taken to the wom-
ans house, afterward being forced
again into the automobile.
When the woman closed the rum

Seed Experts On
Visit To Valley

E. Brown of the U. S. department
of agriculture, and w. L. GosS and
w. Z. Henson, both of the state de-
partment of agriculture, are in the
valley today as a part of state
trip in which Brown is surveying
the seed industry of California.
AS this is his first trip over the
valley he is particularly interested
in seeing what crops are grown, the
seed used and the marketing of
seed grown here.
Goss, in discussing the seed sit
uation, stated that California is
blessed with a plentifulness of good
seed and it is foolish for anyone to
buy any but the very best seed OBJ
tainable. There is no excuse for
anyone using poor seed in view of
the abundance of high grade seed
syallable."
He further pointed out that the
California seed law protects the
farmer in regard to all seed sold
in this state but that if he buys
seed outside the state he does so at
his own risk. with the protection
of the state seed law and the good
seed available, he will profit by
patronizing home industries" Goss
declared.

Working On New Model
I found him in his experimental
laboratory at Dearborn. He and his
son. EdSel, were off in a corner eX-
aiming the latest work of his en-
gineers in connection with the new
model to be put on the market. He
went into one of the offices. Ford
tilted his chair back against. VIM
dow. a tall, wiry figure in gray, with
nobody knows how many millions in
cash in banks, his great deer-stocked
estate across the road. secure so far
as he personally is concerned,
man who has profited beyond the
dreams Of Midas from the existing
system, yet wondering whether
something better could not come
out OF it.
What is the outlook" he asked
repeating my question.
1T depends whether you mean
tomorrow or next year. Things
will go along. Millions of people
have steady work There are parts
of the country where they haven't
heard Of the depression.
Even when things are slow the
business of the United States is
pretty big. But I don't look for re-
coyery-I look for something bet
ter. 1 hope we don't recover the
old system. 1 have no desire to see
the country go on and create big
ser and better panic in, say. the
year 1870. We want to lose the old
anic-breeding habits altogether"
He asked what wheat was doing
on the market. I told him it had
gene up on reports OF damage to
the Argentine crop.
Think Of a system which sud-
denly becomes happy and hopeful
when the wheat crop is reported to
have failed" he exclaimed. The
wheat outlook is worse. Therefore
the financial outlook is better, does
anyone want that kind of a system
to recover? 1t isn't common sense.
What, / asked him. should we
learn from the depression.
Everybody has learned some
thing" Ford replied. mo one now
believes that we can ever avoid
work.
There is no Santa Claus. The
stock market is no substitute for
daily labor. No one gets rich spec
ulating in stocks. I know there is

MAYOR WALKER
MAY INTERCEDE
TO AID MOONEY

NEW YORK, Nov. 18. U.H =
Mayor James j. Walker said today
he is seriously considering a pro-
posal to go to California to inter
cede with Governor Rolph, Jr., i'll
behalf of Tom Mooney, who with
Warren K. Billings, is under life
Imprisonment for the Preparedness
day bombing in San Francisco Is

He explained that considerable
pressure, from a source he would
not diyulge. had been brought to
bear on him. Derore making his
final decision, however, he said he
would consult with several persons
whose names he withheld.
The mayor and Governor Rolph
are close friends. 1t is recalled that
last winter while Walker was va
cationing at Palm Springs, South
ern California, Rolph flew to join
him.
The mayors statement came as a
surprise.
Strenuous efforts have been made
in the past by other sources to OBJ
tain the release, or at least a new
trial, of Mooney and Billings.
Last year, Rolph's predecessor,
c. C. Young, refused pardon appli-
cations in behalf of the two prison.
ers, after the California supreme
court voted against their applica-
