Jaunched into an argument Support- ing it. The co-operative marketing idea has been accepted generally by the coun- try, Senator Fess said. That plan, he said, was designed in order to allow the producer to get more of the money which the consumer now pays for the stuff which the producer ralses. “There is too great a spread be- tween what the fariner receives and what the consumer pays for food,” aid Senator Fess. “If we can relieve that situation there will be a distinct advantage to the farmer.” Senator Fess said that he believed there was no opposition at all to that part of the bill creating u division of co-operative marketing. “\We have added to that feature I farmers’ marketing commission said Senator Fess. “We believe that the establishment of this commission with powers to make loans to co- cative marketing associations will concrete, constructive advance; that it will provide the one thing which will enable co-operative market- ing to become a Success.” Senator Fess said that the informa- tion he had from Secretary Jardine of the Department of Agriculture was to the effect that there are already 15,000 co-operative marketing associa- tions throughout the country with some 2,000,000 members. He said that between 4,000 and 5,000 farmer-owned and incorporated graine elevators are now to be found in the country, and that’ these co-operatives deal in some $2,000,000 worth of business in i vear. The farmers, Senator Fess said, are now compelled in large part to throw all their produce on the market at once, thus creating a buyers’ market and compelling the farmer to take what he can get.

Nenator MeNary denied that there was any such percentage. He said that the total value of the farm prod- uce of the country was between ten and twelve billion dollars, and that, according to the information given by Senator Fess, about $2,000,000,000 worth was handled through the co operatives. Senator Fess said that his bill had been sidetracked on the ground that it was merely u loaning agency to farmers. He insisted that the loans which would be made from the $100,- 000,000 revolving fund would not be made to farmers, but to incorporated co-operative marketing associations This criticism of his bill, Senator Fess said, seemed o have some ul terior purpose Says Members Benefit. MeNary denied that any {one had ever claimed that under the Fess bill money would be. loaned to the farmers individually. He insist- ed, however, that loans 1o co.opera- tive organizations are loans for the benefit of the members of the organi- zations and that it was mere quibbling to say that the loans were not made to members themselves. Senator Capper of Kansas. one of those who supported the McNary- Haugen bill, but who will vote for the Fess bill. was ready today to offer .an amendment to the Fess bill to meet the objection of the Milk Pro- ducers’ Co-operative Assoclation. This wmendment would substitute some of the provisions of the so-called Tincher bill, with relation to the appointment of the co-operative marketing com- mision, for those in the I'ess bill. ‘The Tincher bill gave the co-operaiives the power of nominating members of the board, while the Fess bill left it entirely to the Presidnt. The Cap- per amendment will be a_compromise between the two, giving the co-opera- tives the power to recommend pers:ns for appointment to the board. Senator Fess was unwilling to accept the Tincher provision as it stood and the milk producers finally agreed to ac- cept the compromise plan New Sectlon Attacked. The Fess plan was attacked from 2 new angle this afternoon when Minority Leader Robinson of Arkansas and Chairman Norris of the agricul- ture committee found fault with a new section inserted in the bill today which would require co-operatives re- ceiving loans from the Government to levy an amortization fee on the prod- ucts of the association. Senator Robinson characterized the new section as unreasonable and un- justifiable and declared it would con- stitute a mortgage on the products of the co-operatives receiving loans. He said it was just ‘another form of the equalization fee. Senator Glass, 'Democrat, of Vir- ginia, asked if the War Finance Cor- poration, with $500,000,000, could not clire the situation in six years how could this plan accomplish it with Senator ‘We are trying to bridge the cheam, said Senafor Fess, “‘enabling $100,000,0002 % Senator MCM_)!DJW ge of the JUNE inwood place, to be purchased by the core of Organization !

He declaved that no Democrat Could vote for such a_proposal. “If vou want to kill the co.opera | tives in this country,” said Senator llwlen\:uh. “pass the F amend- ment.” Senator Lenroot of Wiscon- sin also criticized the bill. de aving that he did not think that it met the sftuation. He said that work ing capital i needed by the farm co operatives and that the Government should provide it. Under the terms of the Fess bill, he said. provision was made for muking loans. but the Lill did not provide a working capital. “1 cannot vote for this miserable makeshift now pending in the Sen ate.” declured Senator Heflin of Al bama, attacking the Fess bill. “All this bill will do if it be passed.” con- tinued Senator Heflin, “will be to de. ceive the farmer until after election day, or the primaries, is passed.” Milk Producers Object. Officials of the Natfonal Co-opera tive Milk Producers’ Federation, in letter to members of the Senate, have declared their opposition to the pas. sage of the Fess Dbill unless it be amended to conform to the Tincher bill in the matter of selecting the board which is to deal with the re. volving fund of $100,000,000. They add that such an amendment already has been drafted and has the approval of Vresident Coolidge and Secretary Jardine of the Department of Agri- culture. The letter says, in part “Ygu are advised that the indorse- men? heretofore given to the Tincher bill by this Federation does not apply to the bill introduced by Senator Fess, since the latter bill, in its present text, removes from proposed legislation the heart of the method designed for ad- ministration of the Tincher bill, and turns over to a politically appointed board powers which might enable such board to menace the welfare of co-operative associations. Amendment Held 0. K. “We have been advised, however, that an amendment to the Fess bill has been prepared which has the ap- proval of President (oolidge and Sec- retary Jardine, and which will be in- troduced, and that this amendment proposes to strike out all of section & of the Fess bill and to insert in lieu thereof sections 1, 2 Tincher bill. “If the Senate should adopt this amendment, it would, in the judgment of this fedération, have in the amend- ed Fess bill a rational bill that would be of lasting benefit to American farmers. Not only would a very greatly needed new system of co- operative finance be set up, but a start ‘would be made whereby the represent- atives of the bona fide farm organiza- tions and co-operatives of this country could, through the co-ordination of the work of the advisory council, the farmers’ marketing commission and the Secretary of Agriculture, be in a position to build a self-supporting, in- dependent and prosperous agriculture. “In case the Senate should fail to adopt the proposed amendment. this federation takes this opportunity of informing its friends in the Senate that it does not indorsq the ,“Gl bilL” t there e < incurred in | as of Fess Sihe was going to do wit MeNary-Haugen bill in dis- | and 3 of thell e IBRIGHTWOOD GETS AMERICANS WIN PHONE EXCHANGE!
