Farmers Don't Want Bill.
Do the farmers want this bill?
They do not. They want help.
They want compensation for the

under the tariff, and relief from an
overwhelming burden Of debt and
taxation. They want help so badly,
that they are being persuaded to sign
on the dotted line.
Does the Senate believe in the bill
1t has just passed?
1t does not Any number Of Sena-
tors who voted for this bill are ex-
tremely queasy about It, Why did they
do it? Because the farmers want
help. they are expected to pass a bill
at this session: the whole question of
farm relief Is enormously complicated,

cession to the President.
Compensations Inadequate.
Will this bill solve the farmers
problems?
Come back III f,ve years and ask.

Well, you and I are not farmers,
