THIS WEEK
In Washington
With Clinton Davidson
CITY BLOC VS.. FARM BLOC

Important turning points in his
tory sometimes occur almost un-
noticed at the time, only to be
recognized much later as marking
the end of an era and the beginning
of another.
1t was month ago that congress-
men from city districts and from
farming areas marched down the
aisle TO the well of the House to
give their names and be counted
for and against debate on an
omnibus farm bill.
When the talley of yeas" and
mays" was announced by the clerk
city congressman outnumbered farm
congressman by 2l4 TO III, and
thus was born new and powerful
bloc, the City bloc, in Congress.
The Farm Bloc had been defeated
for the first time in history, on an
almost straight division of rural VS..
urban votes. 1t was the day that
the farm states congressman knew
would come sooner or later, but it
nevertheless shocked them.
Balance of Power
The defeat of a farm bill was
not unprecedented, but the division
of votes was. Democrats from 81
urban districts had defied their
party leaders to join l6l Republi-
cans TO Kill the farm bill. Only
2l Republicans voted with $50
Democrats for debate on the bill.
The balance of power in the
House now has followed the over
whelming population shift to cities.
Although minority for the past
50 years, farmers have continued
TO get favorable legislation because
they had no organized opposition.
From an approximately even
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-07-31

division between urban and rural
population at the turn of the
century, farmers have dwindled to
onlyabout one-eighth of the national
total of l72 million. Within few
years the percentage of farmers will
be about one-tenth.
An analysis of the ABS con-
greSSional districts shows that in
$50 more than one-half of the
voters live in towns of 5000 or
more population. In those districts
consumer interests are predominant.
Less Political Influence
The farm vote is of declining
Importance in national elections,
and it is decisive only in a few
states and congressional districts.
There is increasing recognition in
Washington of the importance OF
the consumer vote
Many of the congressman who
voted against the farm bill had an
eye on the coming fall elections.
They knew that, on a national
average, ii out of every II votes
cast will be by people more direct
ly concerned by food costs than BY
farm prices.
The City Block is only beginning
to form as a united force in Wash
ington. Organized labor has. SO far,
provided most of the leadership,
but Secretary of Agriculture Benson
has assisted in the revolt against
the Farm Bloc.
His contention that the omnibus
bill was a "monStroSity' which
would add TO milk and bread
prices played a decisive role in
defeat of the omnibus farm bill,
and cleared the way for legislation
more acceptable to him and most
consumers.
