‘ . FAR LEGSLATION WL B PUSHED Administration and Heads of Bloc to Urge Action When Congress Convénes. Farm legislation will be pushed to the forefront again as soon as Con- gress assembles. This has been shown by utterances at the Summer White House, where Senator Curtis is soon to confer with the President, one of the major subjects being what legislation the administration should advance for the agricultural interests. It has been shown in statements made by Secretary Jardine on his Western trip that he would support co-operative - marketing legislation, even though he feels that the agri- cultural ills cannot be cured by legis. lation, and he opposes the McNary- Haugen and kindred measure Again, Representative Dickinson, Republican of Iowa, who is prominent in the agriculture group in the House and known as leader of the farm bloc in that body when the bloc movement was at its height, back in Washing- ton for a couple of hours, has just de- clared that he will urge farmer relief legislation entirely independent of the administration agricultural program, His bill, on_which he has’ conferred with many leaders among the dirt farmers, will deal with co-operative marketing and provide for the dis- posal of surpluses of agricultural staples. His legislative proposals, he sald, have been promised the support of many agricultural organizations. Legislation Demanded. Incidentally Representative Dickin- son finds that the farmers of the Middle West have not been greatly impressed, and fail to enthuse over the generalities which Secretary Jar- dine offered in an attempt to quiet agricultural unrest. They are more insistent than ever before, he de- clares, that legislation must be en- acted to reduce their economic troubles. This will force the “most clean-cut fight for farm legislation ever seen in Washington,” during the coming session, Representative Dick- inson declared The farmers of the West, he in- * sisted, are demanding and will con- tinue to dermand from Congress that they be permitted to share in the pro- tective tariff policy of the country and that they be put In a position where they will not be compelled to rely upon increases in land prices and accidents to enable them to make a living. “The farmers of lowa were mnever % united as they are today in de- manding that legislation be enacted . which will put them on an even basis with other industries,” sald Mr. Dickinson. He outlined a bill which he will urge for a Federal farm commission of seven members, named by the President from candidates put forth by farm organizations throughout the country. This commission, on which the Secretary of Agriculture would be a member. but which would not be under the Department of Agricul- ture, would deal with economic pol- icles regarding agriculture. In par- ticular, it would be its duty to pro- mote and foster co-operatives with- out licensing, auditing or controlling them, and would handle surpluses of agricultural staples when necessary. Buying, selling, exporting and stor- .age ‘of such surpluses would be within the power of the commission, if necessary, to prevent undue de- pression in’ agricultural prices. Mr. Dickinson estimates that a fund of $100,000,000 will be nect To an extent, the bill would carry out the McNary-Haugen idea, but without its intricate machinery. ‘The Dickinson bill {8 the outcome of the meeting held in Des Moines luast May, attended by representatives of the various farm organizations. Avoids Price Fixing. 4, The bill differs from the old Mc Nary-Haugen bill in that it avoids all attempts at price fixing except so far a8 taking up the surplus will main- tain the domestic price, and there is to be no voluntary tax against the farmer to absorb the funds utilized. Senator Brookhart of Towa has pro- posed $1,500,000,000 be used for this purpose, but Representative Dickin- son believes $100,000,000 _will be enough. 5 It is declared that former Gov. Frank O. Lowden is back of such a .plan in a general way and that he will probably be the first witness be. fore the House committee on agricul ture in support of it. The political significance of is not overlooked here. A strong movement to nominate Mr. Lowden for President in 1928 has been started by his friends and they belleve his relation to the movement for relief of the farmers will greatly add to his strength URGE WRITER FOR SENATE Wisconsin Socialists Indorse John M.
