House Cuts in Budqel
As Breach Of Faith

The House Appropriations Com
mittee has broken faith with mil
lions Of farmers" in recommending
a cut in the Agriculture Depart
ment's conservation program. Ed
ward A. O'Neal. president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
declared today.
In a telegram to all House men,
bers, the head of one of the Nations
biggest farm groups asserted that
farmers are deeply shocked" at
several recommendations of the
committee. The committee proposed
an overall 80 per cent cut in the
department budget for next year.
Our organization offered sincere
aggressive support for real. con-
structive expenditures and duplica-
ton of services, but we asked the
committee not to cut the heart out
of the farm program" Mr.. O'Neal
told House members.
Mr.. O'Neal added that farmers
were alarmed" over elimination of
so-called Section 80 funds for sur
plus disposal and failure to provide
even last years allotment of re-
search funds under the Hope Elan
nagan Act, which he noted Congress
passed last year almost unani-
mously.
I'VE favor strict economy, but
strongly protest the foregoing ac-
tions as false economy and break
ing faith with farmers" Mr.. O'Neal
declared.
Millions of farmers are looking
to you to rectify these injustices
and to keep faith with farmers

badly needed funds" he added.

Hearing in House Near
On Change in System
OF EIecting President
BY the Associated Press

A move to change the system OF
electing presidents will get under
way in Congress this week.
A House judiciary subcommittee
has arranged for hearings Wednes-
day on proposed amendm snt tc
the constitution to make the elec.
toral vote OF each State correspond
to the popular vote.
Should Congress and then three
fourths of the States approve it
the results of some future elections
might be changed.
Subcommittee Chairman Robson
told reporter the amendment also
would tend to break up the solid
Democratic South and the almost
equally solid Republican front In
some Northern and Eastern States
He said it also should result in a
bigger turnout of voters because the
vote of every person would count. y
Considerable Support Seen.
There is considerable support for
the amendment" Mr.. Robson said.
Under the present system, voters
In each State choose electors who
in turn vote for the President. The
number of electors is the same as
the number of United States Sem
ators and Representatives from the
States.
All of New York's AZ electoral
votes. for instance. go to the man
for whom the majority of the voters
in the State cast ballots. It makes
no difference whether the candidate
just squeezes by or wins the State In
runaway.
The proposal coming before Mr..
Robsion's subcommittee is that the
electoral vote be split up, even into
fractions. In that way. If two-thirds
of the New York vote went to a
Democrat. he would get two-thirds
of the A electoral votes instead of
all of them. The remaining third
would go to the Republican nominee,
except for some small portion minor
pa " Iol1dl0otCc hllSAit ICSClFS.
Blaine Would Have Won.
Under such a system. Mr.. Robsion
said, the Cleveland-B Blaine presi-
Dental race would have turned out
differently He said Cleveland car
ried New York by a narrow margin
of the popular vote. and thus would
have received only slightly more
than half the electoral vote from
that key State.
Blaine, he said, would have OBJ
tanned enough electoral votes from
New York to become President.
Now down In Texas" Mr.. Rob-
sion said. They tell me thousands
of Republicans don't vote there be-
cause they know it wouldn't do any
good, The State will 60 Democratic
anyway.
Under this amendment, their
votes would count.
The same thing would apply to
Democrats in Vermont"
