Farm Program Based
On CUT in Lying Costs
Planned for January
By the Associated Press

A long-range farm program, tai
lored to ease the worries of house.
wives and politicians about the high
cost and scarcity of foods, will be
ready for congressional action early
next month.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, told a reporter that a
Senate subcommittee will have the
new farm legislation in shape early
in January "and we hope to push
it through before the spring plant
ing season"
ut will not be Republican pro-
gram because it is nonpartisan," !"
Senator Aiken said. But congress
sional leaders of both sides of the
aisle won't dare to oppose it because
it will offer the best promises of
adequate farm production and that
means at a fair and reasonable
prices"
Earlier Plans Modified.
Senator Aiken, who has taken
verbal pot shots recently at some
Republican leaders, said the long
range program will be based on the
series of farm programs tried since
1898, plus notifications urged by
farm leaders in all regions of the
country.
"The Lord has been on our side
during the war and postwar years,
Senator Aiken said. 1--WE have had
seven years of record breaking
crops. That means we have taken
an awful lot from our soil that must
be replaced. We also must plan Tor
possible short crop years"
Senator Aiken, chairman OF a
Senate Agriculture group that con-
Quoted Nationwide hearings during
the congressional recess, said the
program will include these features:
l. A continuation OF the soil con-
servation program under which
farmers receive certain benefits
sometimes in cash payments, for CO.
operating in a program to replenish
soil fertility.
Supports to Continue.
Z. A system of Government price
supports using loans or purchases
to prevent farm prices from drop
ping so low that food production is
curtailed.
81 revision of the so-called
parity price formula"
A parity price" Is one computed
to give farm product the same
purchasing power 1t had in a past
favorable period. Most parity
prices" determined by the Agricul-
ture Department now use the 1909
1918 period as base.
Farm leaders and Government Of
ficials have been urging a more
recent base period for determining
the parity figure. 1t is important te
farmers because most price-support
programs are pegged to the parity
formula.

Tansill's speech was also dis
avowed by Mrs. John M. Wilcox,
president general UDC. and by
Fred P. Meyers, president Of the
Sons of the Confederate Veterans
who joined the Children of tie Con-
federacy and the UDC in the
wreath laying.
Mrs. Wilcox said TansilPs all
usions to Lincoln did not reflect
the views of her organization.
We think it rather untimely to
make those remarks. We don't
care to start pu controversy
II think he went too far" Mey.
ers said. II dan't think he should
have made such an attack on Lin
coin. Several others expressed con.
Germ over it,
Groups of tourists stopped out
of curiosity to hear Tansilrs
speech but they could not distin-
guish his words which did not &c.
no from the high dome of the
room in the Capitol.
Nobody can hear him, perhaps
it's a good thing"
Prof. Tansil began his speech
by stating that "every institution
is merely heightened by the shad-
ow Of one man." He said this was
partly true Of the South and JEFF
ferson Davis.
He cited Lincoln's declaration
of June 16, 1858, stating that this
country could not endure perman-
emily 'fhalf slave and half freee.'
AS for the actua1 outbreak of
the war, Prof. Tansill said:
"The dubious intrigue that pre-
coded the firing upon Fort Sum-
ter does not have to be rehearsed
here today. To many minds it is
clear that Lincoln deliberately
played fast and loose with the
representatives of the South in
order to trick them into a bonn
bardment of that famous Fort.
"If it could be accomplished,
war would then be inevitable and
the South could be made to APP
pear as the agresor. The respon-
sihility for the Civil War rests
secuely on one pair of shoulders
and those shoulders belonged to
Abraham Lincoln4"
