SCATHINGLY SCORES CONGRESS' RULES M. D. Campbell Calls Com- mittee Practice “Fossilized,” in Addressing Meeting. Scathing condemnation of what termed the “fossilized inheritance rul of Congress, under which members tain their committee places from ses- sion to session and upon which he placed the blame for the failure of im- nortant measures, featured an address delivered by Milo D. Campbell of Michi- sident of "the National Milk soclation, before the 1 Congress today. vhat view t members he declared matter whether their sentiments are to the sentiments of Congr they sit by primogeniture in a capacity Tepresenting four-hundredth part of the United States. Deny Farmers' Relief. n just such a cemetery there sleeps today ‘the measure known as the Vol- stead bill, giving to farmers the right to co-operatively sell their own products. Two or three men in the United States Senate stand over its grave, and both fy and deny 35.000.000 of farmers the relief for which every farm organization in the United States has asked. and which was prom| them by both of the great political partics in their last national platform “We have con culty that confro; 1o important ma but when we find ev potential re to farmers denied them; every impor tant me re upon which their hearts have been set tied in covert, by inside rules and steering committees, by party whips, into whose presence a farmer cannot and dare not e we note with what ease and legerde the buck can be passed by sending bills to the dormi- tories of these hostile committees.” Mr. Campbell said he hoped the new administration_of the government, be- ginning tomorfow, would fulfill the let- ter and spirit of promises made. “What we demand for the farmer,” he said, “is a tariff upon his produce equiv alent to that upon manufactured goods. We ask no favoritism and will toleratc crimination. Nor will we stand for a tariff upon manufactured goods, based upon a wage of 50 cents an hour, and a tariff upon farm products, based upon wage of 20 cents an hour. “We want corn and cotton, bufter and rice, the products of the north and south, east and west, whether produced on the farm, from’the mine or in the factory, given protection upon the same wage basis for equal skill.” he may ss than one- the people of Defends the Farmers. Mr. Campbell defended the patriot- ism of the farmer. He a million farmers had organized in Europe un- der the nmame of the “Green Inter- nationals,” to fight bolshevism, but in this country no such organization is required, because American farm- ers do not know or grow bolshevists and a pledge of fealty is unnecessary “Amid the gloom that hangs over the seven million farms of the na- tion,” he said, “there is no sign of bolshevism, no red flags, no demand for the soviet. There is nothing but the patriotism ETOWS pure bred in the open country, and that alone can preserve this ntry from the doctrines of communism and so- cialism in the coming days, possibly not far away.” Because of preparations for the in- augural dance, to be given at the New Willard Hotel, the congress held its morning_session at the Washington which Hotel. Several members of the House of Representatives were slated to speals, Representative M. C. Allgood of Alabama addressed the convention on more elastic banking facilities for the farmers. He said the farmer is find- ing his greatest need for short-term loans and advocated the providing for such & meed either in the present reserve system or the proposed estab- lishment of individual credit systems with the federal land banks as the center. “The efficient and orderly market- ing of farm products” Mr. Allgood predicted, “will be finally solved in the establishment of co-operative market associations. The principle of collective bargaining, which has made the efforts of labor, capital and In- dustry successful, will find its ex- pression in its application to the purchase and sale of farm products Suits $19.95 to $89.50 Millinery 85 to $20 e e — e e e S e S s S e S e O B e S S S S, R R R RN R R In Deference to the Wishes of Mr. Harding We Will Be Open All Day Tomorrow ON SALE TOMORROW The Smartest Laster Styles At the most remarkable prices that have been offered in years C., THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1921 and farm supplies.
