Agricultural Clearing House Proposed
Co-operation among the farmers in
stead of competition, that the "farm
er may receive the wholo of the con
sumer's dollar for hla product Instead
of 35 to 46 per cent, as Is now the
enso," Is the aim of a bill introduced
by Senator Ilorah to create on "agri
cultural capital," or clearing-house, to
lie run by the farmers under govern
ment charter or subsidy,
. Tho bill would furnish machinery
for sclontlfio marketing and standard
Ir.ntlon of farm products undor direc
tion of a country-wide organization of
producers Irrespective of government
control. It created quite a stir In the
senuto, Senator Ilorah explaining later
that ho had not writton the measure,
but had Introduced It, together with a
memorial, at the request of K. It. Ret
tlg, a farmer of Opportunity, WaHh.
The clearing house would be under
the management of a board of 15 di
rectors chosen by agricultural sub
divisions of the country for terras of
flvo years. Their salaries would be
$5000 a year. The association would
draw Us real strength from county
associations consisting of not less
than 50 farmers each.
Loan Bill Made Rider.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, offered an
amendmont to the Alaska government
railroad bill, authorising a loan of
$100,000,000 to the reclamation fund
under the same conditions and on the
same torms as congress recently au
thorized a loan of $20,000,000. This
amendment Is drawn In conformity
with the recommendation made by
Socrolary Lane in his nnnunl report.
The proposal was brought forward In
connection with the Alaska railroad
bill because of the expectation that
the railroad bill Is soon to bocome
law.
