It provides Hee no farmer can borrow more than | $300. Representative Rainey, Democrat, opposing the bill, described “the worst barrel legislation ever to come before congress,” but Representative Johnson, Republican, South Dakota, one of its sponsors, declared such legislation was well founded upon precedent. Called Class Legislation The bill also was opposed by Rep- resentative Carter, Democrat, Okla- as ;homa, who attack it as class legis- | lation. The measure as originally intro- duced provided only for $6,000,000 in loans to farmers in the northwest where drought robbed the producers last year of adequate sced grain. In its legislative journey through con- gress, however, the need in various other parts of the country was dis- closed and another $2,600,000 was added to the measure. Representative Johnson, who with Senator Norbeck, of South Dakota, wrote the bill, told the house that the loans were necessary to insure a crop next year in the great wheat producing section of the northwest.
