NORTH DAKOTA'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER * ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS POLISH FLYERS START PARIS TO NEW YORK HOP ‘AL SMITH PUTS ~~ FOOT DOWN ON FEE PRINCIPLE MeNary-Haugen Bill Feature Is Not Acceptable to Nominee HAS NO PLAN IN MIND Democrats Will Make Drive to Corral Votes in Farm States New York, Aug. 3.—) —Gov- , ernor Smith put his foot down to- day on the equalization fee feature ef the McNary-Haugen farm bill, declaring that it was unacceptable to him. The Democratic presidential nom- inee reiterated that he recognizes the principle of controlling the sale of agricultural surpluses, the cost to be borne by the group benefited, but he has no definite plan in mind for carrying out that principle. Smith was led into a brief di cussion of farm relief views to- day by newspaper men who sought more light on his statement issued , yesterday after his conference with \ George N. Peek, Illinois farm leader, | who has swung to his support. s One of the reporters, who visited the nominee in his suite at the Bilt- more, asked whether in stating “con: trol. of the agricultural surp! recognized by our platform -tessential need, the cost to be im- posed on the unit benefited,” he had endorsed the equalization fee propo- sition, which idge con- tended was unconstitutional “The lead editorial in this morn- ing’s New York World sums up my views correctly,” Smith responded. A reporter furnished him a copy. and the nominee read aloud: . “We take it that Governor Smith’s declaration comes down to this: ““(A) That the Democratic party is committed to the principle of con+ trolling the sale of agricultural sur- pluses, the cost to be Brie) tat the plan £ lying ‘ plan for app! thip principle’ contained in the Me- Nary-Haugen bill is not acceptable to him. re__“*(C) That he has no plan of his own for carrying out that principle. ““(D) That he promises after elec- tion to work out such a plan.’” New York, Aug. 3.—(#)—The Democrats are out to capture states in the upper paisalsaipo valley, and with a well plann organization they intend to challenge the Repub- licans for every inch of the ground in that farming territor,.
