More Farm Relief
Piffle to Corne
Washington, D. C. — The house
agriculture committee voted to amend
the Haughen farm relief bin by de­
ferring for two years the imposition
of an equalization fee on basic agricul­
tural commodities to be used to stabil­
ize prices.
Chairman Haughen announced that
It also had been agreed to in crease
a revolving fund proposed In his bill
from »250,000.000 to $350,000.000.
Under the measure as amended,
agricultural prices would be maintain­
ed at the world market quotations
plus the import tariff on each pro­
duct. This would be accomplished the
first two years by the revolving fund,
which would come out of the treasury.
At the end of two years the equaliza­
tion fee would be levied automatically
on the first sales of wheat, cotton,
corn, cattle and swine.
The Haugen bill Is dne of three
measures the committee has ordered
reported. The others are the Curtlss-
Aswell commodity marketing bill and
the Tlncher bill, supported by Secre­
tary Jardine, which would afford gov­
ernment credits to co-operatives.
The amendment was accepted by
the middle western farm organizations
supporting the corn belt plan, the
main features of which Were embodied
in the Haugen bill. In a statement
sent to the committee their repre­
sentatives explained they had not
sought the change, but if the com­
m ittee considered it desirable, they
would not oppose it.
