JACKSON, Miss, September 2s.-
N. r. AS Blue Eagle, If it sprouts
wings again, will not fly about the
head of the little business man."
Senator Pat Harrison asserted today.
Senator Harrison spoke as chair
man of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, in whose hands will rest proposed
legislation for revival of the national
recovery act.
If new legislation is proposed"
Senator Harrison said in discussing
the N. r. A., 1T will eliminate small
industries engaged in intrastate COM
merce. and will apply only to indus
tries engaged in interstate commerce,
or to industries which directly affect
interstate commerce"
THE very thorough investigation
made by the Senate Finance Commit
tee during the last Congress into the
national recovery act administration
and effect, will enable the Congress
to remove the inconvenience and
abuses and unfair requirements

1T is my hope" Senator Harrison
added, that industry itself will so
conduct itself that no new legisla-
ton will be required"
1T will be recalled that Just be-
fore adjournment OF Congress the
President requested me as chairman
OF the Finance Committee to make a
further study this Fall of the n r. A.
to ascertain to what extent all
industries were maintaining wage
scales, hours of labor provisions, and
fair practices Of the various codes
which were in operation at the time
Of the Supreme Court decision. That
investigation and inquiry is con-
stantly being made.
There can be no doubt that rea-
sonable wage scales. humane hours Of
labor and fair practices Of industry
should be maintained"

finance existing farm indebtedness.
The annual interest saving Of
farmers whose debts have been re-
financed is about one-quarter Of
the interest previously paid. Over
$4,000 farmers are making savings
this year on interest alone OF more
than $55,000,000. The interest rate
which farmers have to pay on the
farm mortgage debts reflnanced by
the Farm Credit Administration is
the lowest rate in history.
Better Return for Products.
My second effort in the imme-
diate improvement of the farmers
position was to get him not only a
relatively but an absolutely better
return for his products. In ap-
preaching this problem We moved
on two fronts-first, to free our
monetary system of bondage to
sufficient extent to permit money
to serve the people rather than to
force people to serve money. I
deliberately chose to disregard
those who said that before a ball
ance could be produced in our eco
nomic life, almost universal bank
ruptcy would be necessary through
def1ation. I held, as I now hold,
that the appropriate measures to
take were rather to improve prices,
particularly in farm commodities,
to such an extent that the things
the farmer mad to sell would enable
him to buy the things that he
needed to support life and to afford
him fair degree of security. From
the Summer of 1929 to the time
when took Office in 1888 the prices
of farm products-that is, the
things that the farmer had to SELL
had declined by 81 per cent, while
the prices of the things the farmer
had to buy had fallen 35 per cent.
Thus, the farmer, on the average,
had to use twice as many bushels
Of wheat. twice as many bushels Of
corn, twice as many hogs, twice as
many bales Of cotton, twice as
much of all of his products in order
to buy the same amount Of things
that he needed The closing of
that gap was an important OBJ
jective of this administration, and
We shall bend our efforts to hold
the gains that we have made. The
gap which was the measure of the
farmers despair and distress, after
two and a half years of effort, in
large part has been closed.
Many factors were involved in
this readjustment. Our monetary
policy was one. The drought was
another. Increased demand for
products caused by the economic
revival was another, and the oper-
ations Of our Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration was still an
other.
and the purposes and the methods
Of the agricultural adjustment act.
That is history, and. submit, hon.
orable history. Moreover. the
farmers know how the act has
worked. They know from the con-
tents of their own pocketbooks
that their income has been In
creased. The record is there to
prove the case-an increase of
81 900, 100000 In farm cash income
in 1888 over 1882, $4,000 900
increase in 1894 over 1882 and an
estimated $2,400,0OO 900 increase
in 1885 over 1882. That makes a
total increase of $500 ,000, 900 over
what the farmers income would
have been if the 1882 level had
been continued. Is it surprising,
in the light of this improved in
come. that the farm implement

farmers already sends cold chills down
the backs Of Eastern Republican con-
servatives. But the West does not
look at the situation that way. The
men from the agricultural sections
point out that the industrial East
has had for generations the benefit
of high protective tariffs. They in
tend to have a balancing system for
the protection of the farmers Of wheat
and other basic crops of the nation.
Reward for Producing.
There Is a growing feeling in Re-
publican quarters that whatever plan
is adopted by the G. o. P. as a sub
stitute for the A. A. A. must call
for rewards to the farmers for what
they do and what they produce. rather
than for what they do not do and
what they do not produce. 1t is bet
ter psychology to pay a farmer or
any one else for what he accom-
plishes instead of paying for some
thing he does not do.
Furthermore, such a plan would be

the farmers running into hundreds
Of millions Of dollars for not produc-
ing crops are criticized by millions
of consumers. they say, especially
when these consumers find the prices
of pork and other things they have
to eat skyrocketing.
Just what form such q plan would
take has not yet been divulged. Nor
how it would be paid for But it ap-
pears obvious that any plan must. in
the end, be paid for by some kind of
q tax which will reach all the con-
sumers in the matter of higher prices,
such as the present processing tax. or

The processing tax Is passed along to
the consumers in higher prices. One
Of the criticisms levelled against it is
that it hits the man and woman of
little means and the poor much more
severely than 1t does the man and

Lands Says His Unit Will
Not Shrink From Test of
ConstitutionaIity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman James M. Lands of the
Securities Commission called on the
public utility industry last night to
.'play BALI in testing constitutionality
of the New Deals holding company
act.
Pledging freedom from passion and
prejudice" the 36-year-old former
Harvard professor said the commits
sion would not shrink from the con-
stitutional test, but warned there
must be a controversy that is real
and not sham"
The industry now is conteSting the
laws validity in the Baltimore Fed
eral Court. The commission is not
a party to the case, although the court
has refused commission plea for
delay.
Wants Issue Localized.
Lands said: 1T is of the utmost
importance to the Nation at large
that the issue of jurisdiction and OF
constitutionality should be localized"
to involve only one or a very few
small companies rather than the whole
industry.
The chairman asked that care be
taken so there would "be no danger of
a general undermining of the conf
denCe OF the millions of investors and
consumers, who are more concerned
with the efficient discharge OF our
duties than the theoretical issue of
power" He added:
In this manner, the constitutional
question can be solved with negligible
cost and an absence of injury to the
public. BY so doing, the major por-
tion of the industry could be left free
to take advantage of the opportunity,
which we gladly offer, to cooperate
with us in fashioning the mechanics
Of regulation.
Practicable Machinery Seen.
working together, we can create
machinery which through insight,
gathered by frank and continuing
exchange Of experience, will become
practicable, effective and wisely at
tuned to the difficulties of the task"
Noting the commissions resolve to
remove utility abuses, Lands said, IT
feel certain that the industry is SINH
larly determined, save for those few
whose removal from the scene will be
as much relief to the industry as
to the public" He concluded:
Without vindictiveness, with an
open mind, holding fast to funda-
mental principles of rightness and
conduct, let us reach for a business
like solution of the common problems
before us, in order to further this in
dustry in its dynamic and expanding
life, to make real the vision of public
service that should be its being and

COAL BOARD ACTS
TO REVAMP PRICES
Hosford Named Chairman
of New Bituminous
Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The soft coal industry soon will
undertake the gigantic task of set
ting up q new price structure.
The first move in this direction
came yesterday with the election of
Charles F. Hosfcrd. jr.. OF Pittsburgh
as chairman Of the new Bituminous
Coal Commission.
This five-man board created by
the Guffey coal stabilization act Is to
supervise the marketing provisions
or that measure setting up q Little
N. r. A." for the bituminous In
dustry.
To Start Work On Code
Hosford, in formal statement,
said the comission would under
take formulation of the code Of fair
competition the act provides for, be-
ginning work this week on the rules
for election of the district boards to
fix coal prices.
Prices must be approved by the COM
mission before they are effective.
They are to be correlated between
districts.
THE commission fully sympathizes
with the industrys desire that it
organize as soon as possible" Hosford
told operators and miners at the
commissions first formal meeting.
''and invites your fullest cooperation
In solving your problem"

The United Mine Workers an
nounced yesterday that the Hazard
production district in Kentucky had
accepts the Appalachian agreement
to end the strike Tuesday.
This acceptance left only Ten
nessee, Virginia and Harlan County

The four districts refused to sign
because Of a wage-difIerential scrap
Tennessee demanded a Accent diff
ferential on day rates under the re-
mainder Of the Southern Appalachian
region, and the three others refused
to sign because of the competitive
situation.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, said Tennessee.
Harlan and Virginia miners were to
continue their strike until their en-
ployers had accepted the new con-
tract.

ment which are essential to assure
the continuance Of the inalienable
rights which the Constitution is
intended to guarantee. 1t Is de-
mocracy in the good old American
sense Of the word.
Policy Is Evolving.
The Governments policy toward
agriculture has been evolving ever
since the time of George WASH
ington. I know it will continue to
evolve and I hope no one thinks
that the present machinery is per-
feet and cannot be improved.
What counts Is not so much the
methods Of the moment as the
pathways that are marked out down
the years. I like to think of the
agricultural adjustment act not
merely as q temporary means of
rescue for q great industry, but as
the expression Of an enduring
principle carved in stone by
Nation come to maturity Ma
ton which has forever left behind
the old irresponsible ways of its
youth. q Nation facing the reali-
ties of today and prudently taking
thought for the morrow. I like
to think that never again will
this Nation let its agriculture fall
back into decay, that instead the
farmers Of America will always be
able to guard the. principles of
liberty and democracy for which
their farmer ancestors fought. I
like to think that agricultural ad-
justment is an expression, in con-
crete form, of the human rights
those farmer patriots sought to win
when they stood at the bridge at
Concord. when they proclaimed
the Declaration of Independence
and when they perpetuated these
ideals by the adoption of the Con-
stitution. Methods and machinery
change, but principles go on, and
I have faith that, no matter what
attempts may be made to tear it
down, the principle Of farm equal
ity expressed by agricultural ad-
justment will not die.
You who live in this section of
Nebraska occupy what is very
nearly the geographical center Of
the United States-as much land
west Of you as lies east of you, as
much land north Of you as lies
south OF you. 1t is, therefore, fit-
ting that at this place I should
again pay tribute through you to
the great farming population Of
the United States and those de-
pendent on them for the splendid
courage through long years of adj
versity which you have shown
to the pioneering spirit that would
not quit, that made the best Of
well-nigh hopeless conditions
that had enough faith in your
selves and in your country to keep
your balance, your perspective,
your good nature and your con-
tinuing hope. Today you are
marching along with heads still
held high. Your hope has ma
terialized, at least in part. Your
faith has been justified Your
courage has been rewarded.
