retary was directed to inform the
contractors that Main street mer-
chants generally would cash the
checks at par and would be glad to

district was able to obtain RFC and

retire their bonded indebtedness.

Four Major Measures
"On agricultural legislation of in
terest to the nation at large Burn
hams record is equally good,' ex-
planned Levi. HE voted for the four
major agricultural bills which were
submitted to the 73rd congress.
These items included such bills as
those for emergency agricultural re-
lief, for farm mortgage relief, for
the establishment of a corporation
for the refinancing of farm debts
and for a generous appropriation to
enable the department of agricul-
ture to take care of any unexpect-
ed emergencies such as the recent
terrible drought in the middle west
ern states.
Congressman Burnham's oppon.
ent does not have the background
of extensive western ranc11ing ex-
perience such as Burnham posses
ses. Can we afford to let this i'm
portant post be filled by a man who
knows nothing Of our problems? I
believe not - most emphatically
That's the reason why 1 urge that
we keep George Burnham in con-
yress.'
