Strengthening of the Federal Land
Bank System, already passed by the
House
Creation of the s5O0,OOoOO Recon-

Senate Listens in Silence.
The Senate listened to the Presi-
dents message in silence. 1t provoked
no immediate debate.
The text Of the Presidents message
follows:
"At the converting of the Congress,
on December T. laid proposals before
it designed to check the further de-
generation in prices and values. to
fortify us against continued shocks
from world instability and to un-
shackle the forces of. recovery.
The need is manfestly even more
evident than at the date of my mes
sage a month ago.
Il should be derelict in my duty if I
did not at this time emphasize the par
amount importance to the Nation OF
constructive action upon these ques-
tions at the earliest possible moment.
These recommendations have been
largely developed in consultations with
leading men of both parties, of agricul-
ture, of labor, of banking and OF
industry
They furnish the basis for full coll
laboration to effect these purposes.
They have no partisan character. We
can and must replace the unjuStif1able
fear in the country by confidence.
The principal subjects requiring i'm
mediate action are:
81. The strengthening of the Federal
Land Bank system to aid the farmer
and to maintain at the highest level
the credit of these institutions which
furnish agriculture with much-needed
capital This measure has passed the

before the Senate.
Would Aid Confidence.
%. The creation of a Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to furnish during
the period of depression credits other
wise unobtainable under existing cir
cumStances in order to give confidence
to agriculture, industry and labor
against further paralyzing influences.
BY such prompt assurance we can
reopen many credit channels and re-
establish the normal working of our
commercial organization and thus con-
tribute greatly to re-establish the re-
sumption of employment and stability
in prices and values.
"3. The creation of a system of
home loan discount banks in order to
revive employment by new construction

of our citizens in securing renewals of
mortgages on their homes and farms.

HOOVER VOLUNTARY
J0BLESS AID PLAN
Calls Program "Vicious" in
Testifying at Hearing of
Senate Committee.
By the Associated Press.

6y lne ASSOCldJeu FTeSS
The Governor of Pennsylvania and
the chief of the United Mine Workers
of America added emphatic pleas for
Federal aid to the unemployed in testi-
mony today to senatorial committee.
Gov. Clifford Pinchot decried the ad-
ministration plan for relief by voluntary
contributions. Terming it vicious" he
insisted it is "an attempt to get by
without increasing taxes and letting the
big fellows come in to share the load "
John L. Lewis addressed himself
especially to the needs of miners in
both union and non-union class. Ad-
vocating a Federal agency to combat
"destitution,' he estimated 1906
miners are in dire want in Pennsylvania
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and
West Virginia.
Urges Direct Federal Aid.
Pinchot urged direct Federal relief
for unemployment, plan opposed by
President Hoover. He called the ma
tional voluntary relief program the
Hoover Clifford plan"
1T is vicious" he said, raising his
voice. "It takes money from the lit
tie fellow. 1t does not take it from
the big fellow"
He said his State has more than
100000 unemployed.
Called by Chairman La Toilette to
give his views on measures for Federal
appropriations to aid the unemployed,
the Governor detailed conditions in
Pennsylvania and efforts to meet them.
Best estimates, he said list the jobleSS
at 27 to 80 per cent of the employable
The witness related his unsuccessful
effort to put through a $120,000,0o0 re-
lief plan in his Legislature and blamed
the Republican machine" for the de-
feat. The s19.000,000 relief bills before
Congress he described as totally in
adequate"
Chairman La Toilette and Senator
Costigan, Democrat, Colorado, both of
whom are sponsoring Federal relief
bills, were the only committee mem
bers present to hear Pinchot.
Sees Trouble.
do you care to hazard an opinion"
asked La Toilette, "as to what will
happen in the congested centers If there
is not help?"
Il think there will be trouble" was
the reply.
Pinchot, whose name has been linked
with presidential speculation told of his
futile effort to get 81 100000 loan for
the State employment fund from Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon, and added
L can't conceive how a man in his po-
sition could do what he did"

BORAH INTRODUCES
BILLS TO CUT PAY
Congress, Farm Board and
Vice President Would Get
Big Reductions.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator William E Borah today took
his first definite step toward bringing
about a reduction of Federal salaries
as a measure of economy.
The Idaho Senator introduced bill
to cut the salaries of members of the
House and Senate from $4,000 to
$4,000 per annum. In the same bill he
proposed to reduce salaries of the Vice
President, Speaker of the House, and
the members OF the cabinet, from
$4,000 to, $4,000 a year.
II the Borah bill were enacted into
law, it would mean 20 per cent reduc-
ton in the pay of members of Con-
greSs and members of the Presidents
cabinet 1t has been Senator Borah's
contention that if Government salaries
are cut, the cutting should start with
the members of Congress. He was not
in sympathy with the action of Con-
gress which raised salaries of the mem
bers a few years ago from $500 to
$4,000. Fer several years he declined
to accept the increased compensation
and he did not accept it until his term
of Office as Senator at the time the in
crease was voted had expired.
Bill Would Repeal Mileage Law.
Senator Borah also proposed the re-
peal of the law which provides mileage
for members of Congress at the rate Of
20 cents mile, for their travelling ex-
penseS to and from the sessions Of Con-
greSs in Washington.
A third measure introduced by Sem
ator Borah proposes to amend the ag-
ricultural marketing act creating the
Federal Farm Board This bill pro-
poses that each member of the Farm
Board shall be paid salary of $4,000
a year, together with necessary travelling
and subsistence expenses.
The bill attacks high salaries which
in some cases have been authorized
under the terms of the marketing act,
providing that no compensation or sal

Chances for victory in Maryland by the

greatly heightened by q temporary
peace pact for the duration of the ma

. The Presidents ticket needed this
favorable development, because unofl-

the Democratic ticket for the first time
since 1916. In that year the State was
carried by woodrow Wilson, and 1t has

The Democrats. sensing an excep-
tional opportunity to carry the State
on an anti-Hoover tide. are about te
launch an aggressive campaign for the
