There {s much doubt that the lat- ter course would prove successful. The president vetoed the bill on the grounds of constitutionality and because “so-called equalization fee and other features of the old mea- sure are still prejudicial in my opin- fon to sound public policy and to agriculture.” The veto draws the issue between the president and the farm group in congress more tightly than it ever has been and, unless some further actlon is taken at the capitol, will place the agricultural question be. fore tiie coming presidential conven- tions as an outstanding controversy, Lowden Supports Bill Frank O.

This session the senate passed it hy a vote of 5i to 23, or slightly more than the nec- casary two-thirds. In the house the measure was approved 204 to 1 or slightly less than two-thirds.
