Oregon Moro »SERVER William Grsan, who succeeded the late Samuel Gompers as president of the American Federation of Labor. NINE BILLS GIVEN SENATE PRIORITY Washington, D c.- Sharp criticism of the administrai i on of certain federal laws and agench s affecting the farm ers was contain» d in the third report of the president’s agricultural commis sion. It dealt with the conduct of the department of agriculture, interstate commerce oamiMsslod, federal reserve board, tastff commission and internal revenue bureau. Charging that administration of some departments is seriously handi capped by the interdepartmental Jeal ousies, the commission said It found two “unfortunate results." These were that the “dog-in-the-manger” attitude of one department may retard develop ment of another, and that rivalry may prompt proposals for departmental ex pansion. The report declared that the country lacked a unified credit system, a con dition harmful to agriculture; that the interstate commerce commission has “failed or been unable to recognise its responsibllty as advocate of the ship per and has developed into a court,” and that the tariff commission can materially assist agriculture by "func tioning actively along the lines of its constituted powers and responslbili- ties.” Complete separation of the Vegu- latory and service functions of gov- ernment departments was recommend ed and it was urged that uniform state plant and animal quarantine regulations be devised, and that co operative marketing ^organizations be given full benefit of tax exemption. Washington, D.
