332 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF The Cirarrvax. It has never been declared that it' would advance the price 42 cents a bushel. nor has a vote ever been taken to fix the tariff at 42 cents. Mr. Coxnapiy. It is a beautiful theory, but it will not work. It has not worked. Let me ask the question. Does .the gentleman believe the President will approve the MeN ary-Haugen bill? The C3amyan. I am not so much concerned about that. Mr. Coxxarry. I know you are not, but 1 am. I want the gentle- man to answer my question. If you really want farm relief, you ought to be concerned whether it will be vetoed. The Ornatraan. I think everv member should vote as his con- science dictates. Mr. Coxxariy. Does the gentleman want a bill or a veto ¢ The Ciratrsrax. I do not think the President would have any respect for me if I should do as he might direct. I have a higher conception of my duty than that; I have a higher regard for Members of Congress than to suggest such a thing. Personally, I would not want it said that I am serving as a bellhop for the President or anybody else. Mr. CoxxarrLy. Do you think the President is going to be your bellhop and approve this bill if you pass it? Mr. Kurceras. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, a situation has developed, it is easy to see, where we can not finish to-day, but I am sure the gentlemen of the committee will not want to miss the testimony of Mr. Goss. I want him to be presented, and then make any statement in regard to filing any statement he nay desire. Mr. Kincurror. I would like to hear this gentleman, but it is after 12 o'clock. Mr. Kercrmay. The point I am making is that he has to leave and desires to file a written statement. Mr. Goss. In the limited time I could not say anything. The CratearaN. The committee will stand at recess until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. (Thereupon, at 12.30 o’clock p. m., the committee adjourned to meet to-morrow. Thursday. February 9. 1928. at 10 o’clock a. m.) House oF REPRESENTATIVES, CoMMITIEE ON AGRICULTURE, Thursday, February 9, 1928. The committee met, pursuant to adjournment, at 10 o’clock a. m., Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen (chairman) presiding. Mr. Havcex. The committee will kindly come to order. Are you ready, Mr. Ketcham? . Mr. Xercmanm. Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, I want to present this morning as the first witness a representative of the grange, coming from the Pacific coast, who will speak not only with respect to that particular section of the country but will speak with particular emphasis upon the details of the bill and, I think, will undertake to answer questions that may be propounded by various members of the committee concerning the basis of it, if you would like to have information upon it.
