AGRICULTURAL RELIEF DENVER, Coro. January 9, 1928. To the Congress of the United States: We take this method of advising you that the Colorado Wheat Growers’ Association is enthusiastically supporting the movement to get Government loans for organization work and securing facilities to handle grain, Mr. A. P. Sprague, who is representing the wheat pools to secure such legisla- tion, will be glad to fully explain the whole matter to you. and we trust you will give him your help. [SEAL.] Joe PLUMMER, President. Harry (. STrPHENS. Secretary. Mr. Kercuam. Now, Mr. Chairman, we have with us this morn- ing Mr. Louis Taber, master of the National Grange, who wants to continue the testimony that he gave on the opening of the hearing, and also wishes to take a little time to answer any questions members of the committee desire to ask him. Mr. Wirrtams. How many more witnesses have you? Mr. Kercuam. These to-day will round out the program. STATEMENT OF LOUIS J. TABER—Concluded Mr. Taper. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, we feel that continued testimony is not necessary. We feel very strongly that a careful perusal of the testimony will indicate the justice of the ground upon which we stand and the purpose of our organization. I mentioned in the opening statement the method by which the grange develops its program of action, and I want at this time to read into the record the resolution of the National Grange, upon which our whole program has been founded. You remember I stated in the beginning that the grange can not take snap judgment, and that its officers can not in any manner dictate its policy. We can not have a set of resolutions handed down to the membership. It must be discussed in the subordinates, in the Pomona. in the State. and then in the National Grange. One year ago at Portland, Me., the grange went on record in favor of accepting the debenture idea of farm relief. That was discussed in the Pomona, in the subordinates and States Granges of the Nation. This year it met at Cleveland, Ohio, and had on that occasion between 9,000 and 10,000 farmers at the convention. The master’s report called attention to the export debenture idea. The executive committee called attention to it; resolutions were introduced on the floor. The national master appointed a special committee, of which Jesse Newsom, of Indiana; Mr. A. S. Goss, of Washington; Mr. Eugene Eckert, of Illinois; Mr. Harry A. Caton, of Ohio; and Mr. D. H. Agans, of New Jersey, were members. This committee held hearings every evening for a week, and finally reported this as the consensus of opinion of our organization [reading] : REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON FARM RELIEF The National Grange believes that the disparity in ‘the purchasing power of agricultural products can most readily and effectively be corrected by apblying princinles such as the following
