560 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF Mr. Sexauer. We are going to get our benefit from it. Mr. Jones. If you are not going to share your part of the burden, do you not want the other farmers to share all of the burden of each commodity? You want to get the benefit—that is just the trouble with cooperative marketing to-day, the member has carried the non- member on his shoulders. You want to be in the position of a non- member; you want the farm organizations to carry out a program here that will make the producers of that commodity or those com- modities bear the burdens and let your people share the benefits, without bearing the burdens; is not that correct? Mr. SexavuER. Well, if we are as selfish as that, the fellows who have advocated that and who seem to be glad of our support, have not indicated it. Mr. Jones. You want to pay no fee at all; do you; you do not want your members to be levied on for a fee in this proposition? Mr. SeExavugR. Should it be necessary to do this, that might be necessary; however, we do not conceive it is necessary. Mr. Jones. Are you willing for it to be so amended that whatever fee is levied on other commodities that a measurably similar fee will be levied on milk products? Mr. SExXAUER. Provided it is necessary to use the bill for dairy products, and the dairy associations say it is not necessary. Mr. Jones. But you do not want the fee? : Mr. SExAUER. Because the dairy associations and those interested in dairying do not feel it is necessary. Mr. Jones. In other words, they want the benefits without the burdens, do they not; that is their position as stated by you? (No response.) Mr. KincHELOE. But they do think it necessary for those other fellows to pay the equilization fee? Mr. SExaUER. I would not like to state that. Mr. FuLMER. Mr. Jones, I think he has made himself clear that if they get in competition because of the other fellow— Mr. Jones. No, that is not his stated position. His stated position is that they do not want the milk products in the bill; and if they do not put milk products in the bill this board will have no power to levy a fee. The statement that he would be willing to pay the fee if necessary does not alter your position. You do not want to be put in a position where you would be subject to a fee? | Mr. SexaUuER. My position is that dairy products, with the 1% of agriculture if rightly protected, will never need the help of this bill. Mr. Jones. Especially if the power to levy the fee does not include the power to levy on dairy products. Mr. SExaUuEr. But it will not be necessary to operate on dairy products. Mr. KincaELOE. But you think it will be necessary on the other commodities? Mr. SExavER. It evidently is. Those who have made a study of these other commodities far more than I have—I know nothing about cotton, I know nothing about corn and nothing about wheat—but those who have made a study of these other commodities seem to feel it is necessary to do something for those other commodities.
