CECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
- Arthur M. Hyde called his depart
ment the prize boob in the history
of finance" because of its policy of
making virtually unsecured loans to
farmers in the face of rapidly mount
ing crop surpluses.
under present conditions" Secre-
tary Hyde said my department is
now lending more money on thinner
security and sustaining more losses
than any organize ton ever has done
before in the history of the world.
Loans now being made by my depart
ment to small farmers who otherwise
could not finance themselves could not
by the furthest stretch Of the imagina-
tion be called good business"
The Hyde statement was directed at
the farm loan policy under which the
Agriculture department makes loans
to small farmers for economic rea-
sons. He asserted that the govern
ment should not go into the business
of making loans to farmers except in
cases of drought, or floods or calam-
titles growing out of natural causes.
The current type of loans are unjusti-
fable, he said.

The house bill provides for the pay
ment of the levied excise and sales
taxes by the manufacturer direct to
the government, with the method of
collecting the taxes about the same
as under the general manufacturers
sales tax which was rejected. That
does not mean, however, that the tax
will not be passed along in the form
of an increased price for the mer-
chandise, and there is nothing in the
bill that would prevent the manufac-
urer from directly including the tax
item in his invoice to the jobber or
retailer and so on down the line until
it reaches the consumer.
The fact that the house has passed
a revenue bill does not mean that
this bill is to be the law of the land.
1t is almost certain that the senate
will not agree. The senate commit
tee is very likely to substitute for the
new provisions Of the house bill the
manufacturers sales tax that was
rejected by the house, and pass the
revenue bill in that form. Should 1t
do so it will mean another fight in
the house, then long conference
consideration. and there is no pros
pect for an early adjournment Of con-
gress. Experienced members of both
houses are now predicting that there
will not be an agreement over a rev.
enue bill earlier than September.
THE Hoover budget will be slashed
1 quarter of billion dollars If
the house accepts the recommends
tions already made and to be made
by its appropriations and economy
committees, Chairman Joseph w.
Byrns (Dem., Tenn.) Of the house
appropriations committee asserted.
Just prior to announcing his resig-
nation, on a plea Of overwork, from
the craftsmanship of the special econ
omy committee, Mr.. Byrns said that
body will submit recommendations
calling for consultations and econo-
mics IOtallng at least $I0,OUO,OUO ana
possibly sum two or three times that
figure.
Chairman Byrns said that hearings
thus far, conducted by the various
committees handling governmental
supply bills disclosed that at least
$15O,0O0,OO0 could be shaved off the
budget figures submitted by President
Hoover without in any way impairing
the efficiency of the government. The
committees plan to slash an additional
$3O,000,0O0 from national defense APP
preparations, Mr.. Byrns said.
