Showdown on Farm Bill
'Huves' and Have Nots' Clash in Bottle
For Increase in Pority Payments

both urban and rural communities.
The idea of relieving the farm
situation by fostering consumption
also has gained stimulus from the
improved economic situation, due to
the war. The demand for cotton,
coming in part from manufacturers
of war goods, is rising by leaps and
bounds. Increase in food consump-
tlon Is not yet so marked, but the
agriculturalists hope that at least
S500,000,000 of the seven billion
lend appropriation will go to
purchase Of food for Great Britain
and other foreign countries
Even before war production be-
came factor some economists were
suggesting that increased American
consumption, arising from new in
duStrial uses of cotton, might ulti-
mately wipe out the present surplus
of that commodity. In 1896 Ameri-
can cotton consumption was under
100000 bales. In 1889 it had risen
to 100000 and in 1910 to we'll
over 100000 bales. This year. it
is predicted, home consumption may
reach 100000 bales.
Burden on the Poor.
Forty per cent of normal American
cotton consumption now goes as
raw material for manufacturing in
dustries, such as automobile, shoe,
tobacco sand container factories.
Cotton consumption is increasing
in spite of the fact that competitive
synthetic fibers, rayon. nylon. vinyon
and the like, are heavily cutting in
on the business.
Declaring in recent circular that
if the cotton price was permitted
to resume its natural level, domestic
consumption quickly would eat up
the existing surplus, the Cotton
Textile Institute emphasized that
taxes, direct or indirect. on this
commodity fall almost exclusively
on the poor.
"A laborer buying a pair of over
alls for SO cents is actually paying
for more cotton than does a woman
buying a cotton evening dress for
s89," it said. "A tax of 6 cents per
pound on raw cotton would be equiv
alent to an average retail sales tax
of II cents on cotton goods On
such items as work clothing. bed
sheets. towels, the percentage would
be we'll above this average
Establishment of parity price for
raw cotton, the institute said, would
amount to a tax of cents pound
on American cotton consumers.
Congress clearly has recognized
the approaching conflict between the
rival methods. crop reduction and
increased consumption, but it so far
has avoided the issue by the simple
expedient of doling out money from
the Treasury to both sides. Coinci-
dent with its big boost in appropria-
ton for parity payments. for ex-
ample, the Senate committee voted
an additional s35 900 900 for the
stamp plan of food disposal and
s32 900 900 for the Farm Security
Administration, which divides the
job of rural unemployment relief
with the w. P. A.
The bill in this form undoubtedly
will pass the Senate. but 1t re-
mains to be seen whether it will be
accepted by the House.

Farm Bureau Federation. This
group invented the A. A. A. system,
designed to control Surpluses by
paying farmers for not producing.
And when its appetite outgrew the
billions of emoluments derived from
mere crop reduction loans and boun-
ties it moved on to the demand for
fixed parity" prices for its COM
modities, regardless of the elements
of either supply or demand.
AS against this combination of the
political well-to-do agriculturalists
there has been rising in political
influence recently a motley assem-
blage, marshalled in the name of
poor farm tenants and laborers who
have lost their jobs through crop
reduction and supported more re-
Gently by people who are not so
poor. Conspicuous in the latter cat
egory are the dairymen and live
stock producers, who always have
regarded themselves as the "step-
children" of the Roosevelt farm
bounty system and American textile
manufacturers and workers who
have suffered from the artificially
high cotton prices.
Ever since Claude R Wickard
took over as Secretary of Agriculture
the latter group of have nots." so
called. have been gaining ground
within the New Deal and this trend
has been particularly marked since
most of the Middle Western farm
States went Republican last No
vember.
Increasing Consumption.
The essence of the contention OF
this new school is that subsidized
crop reduction. while it has helped
a limited group of farm owners,
has made the great majority of
farm people poorer and also added
to the burden of city consumers.
The solution, it is argued. lies in
turning the Government money, now
going principally to established farm
owners, to the great mass of under
privileged" thus to increase Ameri-
can consumption.
The highly successful stamp plan
for distributing food to city re-
liefers at low cost and the newer
issuance of stamps to help half
naked Southern poor to buy cotton
shirts and overalls are visual ex-
pressions of this new philosophy
1t is a blood brother and natural
political ally of the w. P. A. pro-
gram Of work relief, as applied in
