tCOlLlNueQ from t1rSt Fage.D
gency banking legislation and the
economy act.
Since Congress has given to an abb
normal extent its prerogatives to the
President, there is impatience to have
the legislation produce quick results.
in the country The high hopes held
out by administration leaders when
they were trying to hasten White
House bills through the two houses
have had some bearing on the situa-
ton. This puts the President and the
executive agencies under him charged
with the operation of the new legis-
lation into a difficult position.
Early Court Test Forecast.
Those speculating on the possibili-
ties of an extra session next Fall take
the view that the operations of the
industrial control legislation will dis
appoint the country; that likely great
contention will be aroused; that it
will be plunged almost Immediately
that it will stir up opposition among
small business concerns when it is
fully understood
Further, there is distinct apprehen-
sion even among many who voted Tor
the legislation that when the Federal
Government attempts. as 1t Is expected
to do, to dictate to intrastate concerns
there will be something akin to
revolt. And inasmuch as the avowed
purpose of the legislation is to raise
prices, or as Senator Robert F. Wagner
states it, to prevent price cutting, there
is the consumers side to be considered.
Should the industrial control leg
islation prove unworkable, as Is pre-
dicted by Senator William E. Borah,
Senator Bennett C. Clark, and numer-
Gus others; should it appear that the
legislation which Senator Thomas p.
Gore has called more revolutionary
than anything in Russia in 1917" will
not work as its proponents have pre-
dicted, then it Is regarded here as IN
evitable that the administration will
either try to get the legislation modl-
fed or turn to some new program, and
that it will not wait until next Spring
when the 1884 congressional campaign
is beginning.
The same is true Of the farm relief
act, especially the marketing phase. 1t
is felt in most quarters here that II the

benefit to the farmers and restore prices
as heralded, those facts should become
clear by next Fall If the experiment
is not working effectively then, it Is
assumed the administration will turn
its attention to some other means OF
relief for agriculture.
Right now here is grumbling from
the farmers and the professors. II
there had not been some increases in
farm prices due in part to money and
crop conditions, these mutterings would |
no doubt be more audible than they |
are. Farmers are disappointed because |
Secretary Wallace and the farm relief |
have not been able to |
speed distribution of benefits this Sum-
mer in return for reduction of acreage |
While this delay in paying farmers |
for acreage reduction is caused by the |
fact that most of this seasons crop
we're in the ground when the legislation
went into effect the farmer dislikes
waiting. Nor is he enamored of sug-
gestions to plow up crops already
started
As for professors, they are disposed

are pleading that they are already run.
