JONES TO PROPOSE
NEW FARM BILL
Legislation to Stabilize
Prices Will Be Offered
Soon.
ey the Associated Press.

EE the Associated Press.
Chairman Jones of the House Agri-
culture Committee announced today
he would introduce soon legislation
designed to stabilize agricultural
prices.
Il am in thorough accord" he said
in statement with the desire for
general legislation to improve the
farm program
Jones announcement followed dis
closure by Senators Pope. Democrat,
of Idaho, and McGiU. Democrat, of
Kansas, that they would introduce a
revision Of the projected agricultural
adjustment act of 1887 They de-
clared the alterations would make
the bill thoroughly democratic
Jones Outlines Plans.
Describing the existing soil con-
servation and domestic allotment act
as legislation that was working we'll,
Jones outlined the following basis for
new legislation:
/. Simplihcation of the present pro-
gram.
2. Larger local control over the exist
ing and new legislation.
3. Selection of local farmer COM
mittees by farmers themselves.
L. The program should apply to all
farm production rather than to a few
basic commodities
). Establishment of the ever
normal" granary for storage of sur
pluses in fat years for release in poor
crop years.
s. Limitation of the benefits of the
programs to farmers who comply with
the farm program as whole.
7. Provisions for marketing control
in times of oversupply.
Expects Roosevelt Support.
Senator Pope said he expected ad-
ministration support of the Pope-Mc-
Gill measure, but expressed doubts
Congress would act before next ses-
sion.
The original BILL drafted by a
group of farm leaders, embodies both
the "ever-normal" granary idea OF
stabilizing production and features
of the invalidated A. A. A., includ-
ing contracts with farmers.
It's announced objective is to main
tain parity" prices, based on l909-l4
yields, for cotton, wheat, corn, rice
and tobacco A system would be set
up for storing surpluses in years Of
heavy yield and releasing them in
times of shortage.
The existing soil conservation pro-
gram would be made part of the
proposal, through controlling produc-
ton of any surpluses which might
interfere with maintenance of the
prices sought.
The complex measure provides for
contracts between the Agriculture De-
partment and "co-operators" and crop
control through diversion of acreage
to offset surpluses
Pope and McGill proposed a ref
erendum of producers in June of any
year before any control measures
could be undertaken. They struck
out flexible tariff provision to which
Secretaries Wallace and Hull objected.
Under their plan, third OF the
producers of any commodity could
block production control steps.

the future of America "as long as we
maintain the democracy OF our man.
ners and the democracy of our hearts"
in an upstate New York Independence
day speech yesterday
Ending a flve-day stay at his
Dutchess County estate at Hyde Park,
the President left Highland, on the
eastern shore Of the Hudson River, late
last night to return to Washington.
A few hours previously ne had mo-
tored Is miles to a festival OF the
Dutch Reformed Church at Mount
Marion, where, from his open car, he
declared to a COATES crowd of COM
municants the rising generation had
no cause to fear dictatorship in Amer
lea.
He also expressed the wish that
some of the "poise" and fundamentals
OF democracy in this country could be
transferred for the benefit of nations
lacking in these principles and ideals. "
Sees Same Fundamentals.
Speaking OF the growing "complexi-
ties" OF government as economic con-
ditions change, he said:
Il hope the new generation, Just like
the older generation, will realize that
in meeting these new conditions we
are not changing he fundamentals of
the American form of government.
I'm my belief, we are always going
to keep our feet on the ground as a
Nation in the future, just as We have
in the past"

made July Fourth possible"
This has been good Fourth Of

AS an example of this democracy.
he told the crowd assembled beside
the little white framed church of the
picnic he gave at his Waikiki cottage
Sunday afternoon, where the host and
guests sat around and chatted by q
swimming pool in shirt sleeves.
He said one OF his guests, Emil Lud-
wig, German biographer who has
been exiled into Switzerland, was
perfectly amazed" at the informalitv
and lack of military protection for
the President. He quoted Ludwig as
saying:
You know, if this happened any,
where in Europe, whether it was a
dictatorship Or a monarchy or re-
public, the head of the nation would
have been surrounded by men in uni
form. soldiers with bayonets, and the
members OF press would have ap-
peared in frock coat and silk hats in
stead OF shirt sleeves and bathing
suits"
Asserting this example of the "dif-
ference" between the American form
OF living and that In Europe could
be multiplied thousand times" the
President added:
That is why say I am confident
OF the future of this country as long
as we maintain the democracy of our
manners and the democracy of our
hearts"
