Senate Bloc
Might Revive
Parity Issue
Notice of Fight
Served

Washington. Mar IA ms -
Revival Of the bitterly fought "pari.
ty" issue was foreseen today as
the Senate received the 1913 Agri-
culture Department appropriation
bill, drastically slashed by the
House.
Farm bloc senators have served
notice that they would wage a iight
for parity for farm products, free
from interference by the Secretary
Of Agriculture. or other government
officials who may attempt to hold
down agriculture prices.
AS passed by the House. the sup
ply bill contained restriction
forbidding the Commodity Credit
Corporation from selling govern
ment owned or controlled farm
crops at less than parity prices In
addition. the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture was instructed to make pay
ments sufficient TO give farmers
parity prices for their crops.
President Roosevelt or the other
hand. has publicly asserted that
the drive for parity at this time
carries with II a contribution to-
wards initiation, Agriculture Secre-
tary Nickard has maintained that
parity for farm prices would
rise the cost OF living in the Unit
ed States by Sl,000,000,0 600 a year.
The House approved agriculture
bill carried S64S,l7O,O0O in direct
appropriations and re-appropria-
tions, and Sl05.O00,000 in authority
to borrow from the RFC in order to
make farm tenant and rural re-
Mobilization loans and grants
The House, by adopting amend
ments proposed by economy forces,
made direct reductions in appro-
priations totaling S2S,510. 600. and
reduced maximum lending authori-
ties by $20000,000 In addition a
$1,000 top limit on soil conserva-
tion payment which any one farm
er may receive. is estimated to save
s50,000,000.
Largest cuts in the bill were
made on funds and authorizations
for activities under the Farm Sc
curity Administration. Functions
Of this agency also were drastical-
ly limited by an amendment which
prohibits rural rehabilitation loans
to individual farmers in excess of
$1,000.
Salaries and administrative ex-
penses for the farm tenancy pro
gram were cut in half to 1880 900
while lending authority was reduc
ed S45, 900, 900 to 5000. 900.
