" PROTESTS HODVER | AS FARM DICTATOR Agriculture Council Head De- clares He Has Too Much Influence Over Policies. Appearing before the House agri- cultural committee today, George N. Peek, president of the American Council of Agriculture, entered a pro- | test over what he termed the domina- tion of American agriculture by Sec- retary Hoover of the Commerce De- partment. The recommendations of the Presi- dent's agricultural conference, the Wwitness said, contalned nothing which had not already been formulated by Mr. Hoover8and he quoted Mr. Hoo- ver as having said the function of the Department of Agriculture should end with farm production and prepa- ration, Transportation and market- ing, he declared, were held by Mr. Livover to be the functions of his de- partment. Rellance on Hoover. Mr. Peek said he belleved the Presi- dent was relying on Secretary Hoo- ver, and not the Secretary of Agricul- ture, for agricultural informatjon. last year, he declared, his organiza- tion wrote to Secretary Slemp urging that the Agriculture Secretary con- vene @ commisslon to study agricul- ture. whose members should be non- partisan and not representatives of selfish interests. Export Measure Urged. Enactment of a revised McNary- Haugen farm export measure was advocated the witness, who also| favored a special seesion of Con- Bress, if necessary, to emact remedial farm legislation. A congressional investigation ol the activities of Secretary Hoover in agricultural matters was proposed by Mr. Peek. Farm leaders in_ general, he said, do not approve of Mr. Hoover's agri- cultural views and will protest against his “domination” of the Department of Agriculture. The witness declared Secretary Hoover was favorable to exporters, adding that Julius Barnes opposed | the McNary-Haugen measure as head United States Chamber of Commerce ard not as a grain ex- porter. Representative Tincher, can, Kansas, maintained that the re- port of the President's conference, with which Mr. Peek took issue in connection with the idea of keeping down agricultural production to do- mestic requirements, tallied with Mr. Peek’'s own views at the time the McNary-Haugen bill was debated in the House last session. HITS MARKETING BOARD. Eansan Says Proposal Aids Dis- tributors, Not Producers. Proposals of the President’s agri- culture conference for a co-operative marketing board were attacked be- fore the Senate agriculture committee today by T. A. Naftzer, counsel of the Kansas Wheat Growers' Association, as “designed to organize distributors instead of the producers.” “If 1 wanted to ruin the co-oper- ative wheat campaign in Kansas, this is just the step I would take’ the witness declared, indicating copies of the bills already introduced to carry out the conference’s recommendation. | 3 kg - Gives Institution Bible.

If the true story of what is going on behind the scenes in Congress could bo conveved in detail to the country at large it would furnish convincing evidence of what happens when a definite announcement is made in advance that a short session of Congress, expiring March 4, will not be followed by an extra session and that Congress will not assemble until the December session. Filibusters manifest and filibustors concealed are shaping the legislative program for the last two weuks of the present session. The art of block- ing legislation is known to those who have upon occasion succeeded in do- ing it before, and there are almost as many interests almost anxious to pre- vent certain legislation from being Z?;::fi‘: us there are individuals and ons s Sgsnim) eager to put things The well known “leglslative jam" of yestervears, so familiar to those Who watch Congress year in and vear out, has arrived. The steering com- mittees now are engaged not in trying to find a priority that will be accept- able, but to see what they can save out of a certain wreckage by minori- ty Influences, and by “minority” one doesn’t mean party so much as in- terests opposed to the passage of pending legislation which would com- mand a majority vote if a vote could be taken. Delay Chief Weapon. Delay ls the chief weapon of the opponents of legislation. By asking for hearings and by attaching riders that are certain to be taken off by one parliamentary device or another, hills are kept from being acted upon. Sometimes they are held too long in committee to enable serlous consid- eration to be given. Some times the House is influenced to pass some- thing which contradicts or provokes controversy with the Senate. Thus in the last hours of s session bills may be left by the wayside. The only question now is what can be saved. Many Important measures will die on March 4 and will have to be ‘introduced once more and gO through committees and be cted upon by the House and the Senate before they can get to conference and be ready for White House veto President Coolidge became con- vinced early in the present session that if he said there would be a speclal seesion Congress would dilly dally and faii to get much through by March 4, perhaps not even ap- propriation bills. His attitude has brought action on the money bills which must be passed in order to take effect with the fiscal year be- ginning July 1 next. But the op ponents of legislation have taken advantage of the presidential posi- tion to kiil measures which probably have gone through If a 1 session were to be called be- cause the opposition would have seen that delay and filibustering were tutile. olidge has alw FLAT TIRE?

THE he would not pledge himself definite- ly against the calling of an extra session, as circumstances might re- quire him to summon Congress. But the President has said enough to in- dicate that he has no purpose of call- ing Congress back any earlier than next October or November, and that if important legislation is left pend- ing he will feel that Congress, and not the Executive, will be held ac- countable by the country. When an inventory of legislation | on hand is taken after March 4 the President may feel differently. Every day’'s developments indicate that the| time is passed when Congress can a mplish much more beyond the pa ge of appropriation bills at the short session and that if the Repub- licans are to maintain their control of the House and Senate in the 1926 elections they will have to make their record in the latter part of this year and the first few months of 1926. The next session after the present Con- gress adjourns will be long as well as| from every viewpolnt decisive.
