666 - AGRICULTURAL RELIEF My. Fort. Then, really, under the language of the bill—I have not studied it in detail with this particular reference in mind, not being a milk producer—should it, or should it not, be protected so that the fee should not go on fluid milk? Mr. SExaUEr. I have confidence enough in the organizations which are handling milk so that if it should or should not go on fluid milk, that they could convince the board of it at that time. Mr. Fort. Do you think we ought to leave all these questions to somebody else to settle.and dodge our responsibility? Mr. SExAUER. I did not say that. Mr. Fort. Is not that what it comes to? Mr. Sexaver. Why should I say whether you should dodge your responsibilities or not? : Mr. Fort. But you are wanting us to leave all these questions sither to a board or some advisory council or some cooperative asso- ciation, or somebody else. Is it not our job here to draw a piece of legislation that has its limits and its restrictions and its powers pretty clearly defined? Mr. SExavEer. I would assume that that was the case. So far as we are concerned, we would just as soon have dairy products left out. But if they are left in—if you, in your discretionary power, decide to leave them in—I believe we can convince anyone that it is not necessary to operate the bill so far as those commodities are concerned. Mr. Jones. As a matter of fact, you would prefer to be left out for the present? Mr. SExAUER. I do not see the necessity for putting them in. Mr. Fort. Then your idea, Mr. Sexauer, is that the passage of an equalization fee bill will protect against overproduction in the dairy industry by making it more profitable to produce in others. Mr. SexaueR. Right. Mr. KincaeLOE. You said you had 40,000 members? Mr. SExAaUER. Right. Mir. KincaeLok. In New York and some adjacent States? Mr. SexavgeRr. Right. Mr. KiNcHELOE. Have you any national organization? Mr. SExAUER. Have we a national organization? Mr. KINCHELOE. Yes. Mr. SExXAUER. You mean Dairymen’s League? Mr. KincHeELOE. The dairy industry. Mr. Sexaver. The Dairymen’s League is connected with the National Milk Producers’ Cooperative Association. Mr. KincHELOE. Does that include the dairy industry of Minne- sota and Wisconsin? Mr. SExAUER. Some of it, I understand. Mr. KincaELOE. What percentage would you say of those engaged in the dairy industry are in the organization? Mr. SExavER. That is very, very difficult to say, depending on whether or not you are speaking from the standpoint of quantity production or from the standpoint—— Mr. KincHELOE. Everything. Mr. SexavER. Everything; from the standpoint of quantity pro- duction, I understand there are some 300,000 to 400,000 members in the national oreanization, and that national organization probably
