AGRICULTURAL RELIEF Mr. Fort. I agree with what Mr. Fulmer has said. I think the bill is worthy of every consideration. Mr. Hare. I thank you. Mr. Fort. It seems to me it would be possible to enact it into law. Mr. FuLmer. With the agencies we have at present, as stated by Mr. Hare, I can not understand how we could not coordinate them and have a simple piece of legislation that would do what we are trying to accomplish under very complicated bills. The CuairMAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Hare. Without objection, the committee will stand adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. (Thereupon, at 12 o’clock m. the committee adjourned to meet to-morrow, Thursday, February 16, 1928, at 10 o’clock a. m.) 619 House oF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE, Saturday, February 25, 1928. The committee met, pursuant to adjournment, at 10 o’clock a. m., Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen (chairman) presiding. Present: Representatives Haugen (chairman), Purnell, Williams, Thompson, Ketcham, Hall, Fort, Menges, Andresen, Adkins, Clarke, Aswell, Kincheloe, Jones, Swank, Fulmer, Rubey, and McSweeney. The CrairMAN. Mr. Crisp, the committee will be glad to hear you. STATEMENT OF HON. CHARLES E CRISP REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FRO} ™m™ Ner™mR ( » GF '™° Mr. Crise. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, I shall take up but a very few moments of your time. I am intensely inter- ested in a practical farm relief measure, for no one realizes more than [ the distress in agriculture. I have no pride of authorship. I am not wedded to any bill, but I am anxious for farm relief legislation that in my judgment stands a chance of being held constitutional and a chance of being enacted into law. The last Congress I introduced a farm relief bill and you accorded me the privilege of discussing it in detail with you for one and a half hours. I can add nothing to what I said at that time. I have rein- troduced the bill in this Congress, and it is known as bill 65, and it is identical with the bill I introduced in the last Congress. [ am not going to consume your time by repeating what I said then. [ believe the bill to be a good bill. I reintroduced it in this Con- gress so believing, and I did not do it purfunctorily or for politics, but hoping it might be the basis upon which this committee could work out a bill, should the committee in its wisdom decide not to report the McNary-Haugen bill. I appear before you to simply call your attention to that bill and to urge that you give 1t such consid- eration as you think it entitled to. ] Now, I realize the bill is not perfect. I am sure the superior wisdom of this committee can amend it and improve it. I find myself in a position where I can not support the Haugen- McNary bill. 26160—28—SER E, PT 8—3
