126 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF that the Executive should have no fear as to proper administration of this provision of the law. As to the question of the constitution- ality of the fee, it can be passed upon bv the courts without mjuring the rest of the bill. Mr. Chairman, in view of my earnest desire to secure farm legis- lation during the present session of Congress, I wish to serve notice at this t.me that on Friday of this week, unless all of the farm organ- izations get together, I will move to take up the Haugen bill in execu- tive session, amend it, and report it out for approval by Congress and for submission to the President. Action should be taken at once by the committee and Congress. If the President in his judgment vetoes the bill, then we will be given another opportunity of reporting out another bill providing for a revolving or a debenture fund to carry out the provision of the bill, and I am not adverse to a subsidy for agriculture. Adopting this procedure will give us the opportunity of securing legislation this session of Congress. I am sincere, Mr. Chairman, in the statement that I have made. I want to see farm legislation during the present session of Congress, and ’I think we should get busy and conclude our hearings, unless all of the farm organizations get together before Friday of this week; and I will make the motion on Friday to take action on the McNary- Haugen bill. The Cramrmanx. We have a number of people here—I do not know how many—who have been waiting over a month to be heard. Mr. Hawn. Mr. Andresen has stated my sentiments quite thor- oughly. I think we have been whittling along here very patiently on this farm-relief discussion. I think it is time for conclusion. if we are going to get anything done this session. ~ Mr. Jones. Mr. Chairman, I am perfectly willing to set Friday if they want to set it, but we agreed when we started out we would hear the evidence on all these bills, and I am willing for the com- mittee to commit itself to one program and only one; I think we ought to have the opportunity of reporting any of these bills. The CramrmaN. That will be for the committee to determine next Friday. It might be well to find out how much time would be asked for. Mr. Jones. The contemplated motion was to limit it to one bill, and I am in favor of that. I think everybody ought to have his day in court and the chance to have his legislation presented to this committee for consideration. I do not care whether we are to have any more hearings, but I do not want the committee to limit it to and only consider one program or one bill. Mr. AxpreseN. That is not the idea. Mr. Jones. That is what I gathered, unless the farm organizations agreed among themselves, would be the motion. ’ “Mr. AxpreseN. I will make the motion on Friday that we con- sider the McNary-Haugen bill unless the farm organizations get together and agree definitely on something. Mr. JoxEs. Why does not the gentleman make his motion to close the hearing and begin writing the bill on Friday and not try to limit the program to one species of legislation? ae Grim, What I am trying to get straightened out is ¢ ave a number of people here who have been here a month
