Twice—in 1927 and 1928—Congress passed agricultural aid measures, but each time they were vetoed by Calvin Coolidge. In 1926 a farm relief bill was passed by the House, but failed to be adopted' by the Senate, while two other measures previously were defeated in the House. Mr. Coolidge based his veto of the two measures, whieh were known as the McNary-Haugen bills, upon their provi- sion for an equalization fee method of financing the marketing of the farm surplus products. The fee was a method devised to have the farmers contribute their share of losses and marketing costs to reimburse a government revolving fund proposed for use in disposing of the products. Fee Expected to Be Missing. The farm relief proposals which the two congressional committees expect to work out before April 15 undoubtdely will not contain the equalization fee.

After his election in 1924, President Coolidge, to carry out his party’s plat- form promises, called a conference of farm leaders. Awaiting its report, Con- gress devoted no efforts to legislation at the next session. ‘That conference’s recommendation called - for legislation to encourage co- iopenuv: marketing associations, which, {it proposed, should be placed under the | Federal control through a licensing sys- tem. This was written into.a bill which, when introduced the next year, was defeated in the House after strenuous | opposition by co-operative organizations. 1 Representative Dickinson, Republican, Lowest Cash Prices | " Robinhoods Sharp Spring Topcoa $19.75 the Budget Plan —nnnrnnn Pay as o Well, Folks— You Get Paid Eventually, why mot 1 now?
