PRICE FIVE CENTS MELLON GIVES OPINION ON FARM RELIEF VIEWS EXPRESSED BY SEC- RETARY BRINGS SHARP RE- TORT FROM IOWA REPRE- SENTATIVE (ity Associnted Press) WASHINGTON, June 16.—Sec- | retary Mellon’s opinion on the equalization fee plan of farm re- ate in the MeNary bill, brought a! sharp retort today from Represen- | tative Dickinson, republican, Iowa. “At last the administration is| out the open,’ he said in a} statement given to the Associated | Pre’ “When the statement of} Secretary Mellon is stripped of all the interests for whom he speaks are not willing that the protective system shall mean anything for the American farmers.” | The secretary's opinion is that the proposal is economically un- sound and unworkable, would pro- vide no permanent benefit for| American farmers, would “subsi- dize” America’s foreign competi- tors and would’ increase ‘he cost of farm products to American consumers. Consideraple importance has been attached to Mr. Mellon’s declaration in the capitol, where the economic principles he opposes already have been defeated in the house and are. approaching a vote in the senate. One view was ex-) pressed in the Washington Post | | this morning which quoted Repre- | sentive Haugen, republican, Iowa, | | who sponsors the bill in the house | “There is no use to make any further drive for farm relief now. We have had our day in court.” Without Warrant Representative Dickinson de-! seribed as “absolutely without, { warrant” the secretary’s statement | that the equalization fee while technically to be paid by the far- mer, would in reality be paid by the consumer. He sa‘d his pur- pose evidently was “to solidify op-, position to the bill, especially | country.” Mr. Mellon’s arguments, he added, sounded “strangely like those of Mr. Hoover,” the sec- retary of commerce, If the Mel-| lon view “is the verdict of the! administration, then ‘the thunder- | bolt that came out of Iowa the other day is merely the sheet lightning of the coming storm.” Burdens placed upon them by the Fordney-McCumber tariff act, the arbitrary wage scales of labor, the Adamson eight-hour railroad bill, he said, have been borne by the farmers “without audible com- plaint” because they were “said © be necessary for the protection of industry and labor.” “And now,” he went on, “Sec- retary Mellon has the audacity to demand that not only shall the farmer continue to carry these enormous burdens, bul, that he shall also continue to feed the umers of the country as cheap- ; those of Europe are fed, whose cheaper merchan- « and laborers the tariff and the immigration law have erected a wall of exclusion, The ruelty of this as- tounding “Ever armers 0 con: Chinese suggstion is ince the Civil War the f most of the great grain states have supported the political syacem, not because they believed that it meant anything to them directly, but because indus- try in i that it had a right to a fair price in the home market, and by these reasons our would be protected he so-called pauper labor NOTICE The Jade be regular communication of Lodge No. 14, F. & A.
