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. C.—Faced by a jam
of legislation in the single month re
maining of the present congress, the
republican steering committee of the
senate had selected a priority list of
nine measures to be pressed for action
in that body before adjournment
