AGRICULTURAL RELIEF Mr. JoNEs. You think he should be wise and the Members of the House should not? Mr. KenoE. I think the Members are already wise, and they should stay wise; and if I were a member of this committee I would vote this bill out. Mr. Jones. Feeling, as you do, that there is no other plan that will accomplish the end? Mr. Kenok. None yet proposed. Mr. Joxes. And I will say that I voted for the bill in the last Congress, but I do not want to do a vain and useless thing. 1 don’t care to march up the hill and march down again. I don’t want to play politics. I will not do it. Mr. Kenok. The discharge of duty and the doing of a righteous thing is never useless, whether anvbody else supports it or not, Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones. But if you can not get anywhere—— Mr. Keroe. Yen can not get anywhere, any time, without con- tinuously trying. The man who quits is the only man who does not succeed. Mr. JoxEes. It is not a question of quitting. Mr. Keno. The man who fights on is never defeated. Mr. Jones. You use the word “fighting.” There never was a general in the field who did not use tactics. If a general fought his men every minute of the 24 hours a day he would not get very far. But he chooses his battle ground, he chooses his time to fight and concentrates his energy at the proper time, and uses a little headwork. There have been times frequently when a small body of men with proper generalship were able to defeat a larger army because they chose their time to fight; did not ficht blindly, but foucht intel- ligently. Mr. Kenog. There are many objections—oh, Mr. Jones, I under- stand and you understand and the President understands, and everybody else, that all legislation is the result of compromises? Mr. JoNEs. Yes. Mr. Kenok. The President made many objections to this bill. I would agree with him on many of them; I would compromise on many of them that he thought infringed upon his prerogatives, as little as I like the idea. But perhaps there may be somebody else appointing the board, and perchance a political friend of vours and mine, this time next year. Mr. JoxEs. But you are advising us « “stand pat” awhile ago. Mr. Kenoe. Wait a minute. I have not finished. I said I would compromise with him on everything save and except the equilization fee. I would say to him—— Mr. Jones. You sald you were not willing to compromise. Mr. Kenok. I would be willing to compromise on many of the things he said, although I do not quite agree with the accuracy of his views, nor do I agree with the correctness of his reasons or the soundness of his conclusions. But, still, I would compromise, though I would not surrender the equilization fee; and if I did I would think I had not compromised but that I had made a humiliating surrender. Mr. JoNEes. Feeling as you do. But suppose there were two plans, each of which would accomplish the thine desired?
