FARM
LOBBY PROPOSAL IS
PASSED BY SENATE
Approved 50 to II Over Minor
ity Protests That Bill %
Glass legislation

A senate proposal appropriating
$4,000 for creation Of cooperative
agricultural association to promote
legislation Of benefit to farmers rode
through the North Dakota senate
Thursday and headed for the house
despite vigorous protest Of minority
members Of the assembly. The vote
was 36-1l.
Opponents OF the measure chal-
lenged the constituti pnality Of the
proposal, declaring It was "class leg
islation" and unnecessary because
farmers already have several strong
organizations representing them"
Three co-authors Of the measure.
Herman Thorson Of Adams, e. T..
Greene Of stutsman and q. F. Drew
Of Ramsey, argued In support Of
the measure with Thorson stating .
Legislative hook.up" would be Gre
ated In northwest states to work out
main needs Of agriculture for pre-
sentation to congress.
Act On q Measures
Cleared for high speed, the legis-
lative machinery In the upper cham
Der took final action on q proposed
measures, defeating one, Indefinitely
postponing three, and passing Is bills
and three resolutions.
Among senate resolutions adopted
by the senate group was concurrent
resolution r. petitioning congress to
enact q law qualifying the Bank Of
North Dakota to participate In facili-
ties Of tie United States Treasury
for issuing currency in tho name Of
tho hank.
Introduced BY Senator John Mix.
lethun Of Barnes. the resolution pro-
poses q similar system to that used
by the national banks Of the country,
allowing the bank to place as secur-
ity the bonds Of the bank In greater
amount than allowed the national
banks which must put up as security
bonds Of the federal government. He
said It would not be flat money"
See No Benefit In Lobby
william Watt Of Cass set off the
debate on the proposed agricultural
lobby by asking an explanation Of
the bill and declaring he saw no
benefit from it for the farmers"
1.-THE proposal" said Senator Thor
son, creates q legislative hookup Of
surplus-producing states In the north
west SO that whenever five states
have accepted the hookup, they may
organize and comparatively work out
the main needs Of agriculture with
other agricultural organizations"
In the past, he said, trouble was
encountered with the farm organi.
cations being disagreed when they
reached Washington and didn't know
what they wanted"
Stating the bill provides for an
agricultural lobby. Senator Mike
