580 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF HousE oF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE, Wednesday, February 29, 1928. The committee met at 10 o’clock a. m., Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen chairman) presiding. Mr. ANDRESEN. Mr. Chairman, the Minnesota delegation in the House, and also in the Senate, have had a meeting and would like to have an opportunity to make a very brief statement in regard to farm legislation, particularly Senator Shipstead and Congressman ague. The CHAIRMAN. We have another matter set specially for this morning. We can not give them much time. Senator SHIPSTEAD. I merely wish a minute, Mr. Chairman. The CEAIRMAN. I was not aware that this matter was coming up this morning. However, we will hear what you have to say if it will not take long. Senator SuipsTEAD. I do not desire to trespass on your time but merely take a moment, with the consent of the committee, to advise you that the State of Minnesota through its legislature, in two sepa- rate sessions passed resolutions almost unanimously favoring the McNary-Haugen bill. The Farm Bureau Federation of Minnesota, on several occasions in convention passed resolutions favoring the McNary-Haugen bill. Mr. WiLniams. Does this represent the views of the delegation in the House from the State of Minnesota? Senator SHIpsTEAD. They are here to speak for themselves. Mr. Aprins. Are you for the bill, “with equalization or nothing ’’? Senator SuipsTEAD. I am asking the committee to report the bill with the equalization feature. - Mr. WiLLiams. You want that or nothing? Senator SHIpSTEAD. There has been nothing proposed. Have you anything else to offer? Mr. WiLLiams. There are about 20 bills before this committee. Senator SHIPSTEAD. Not to my knowledge; I am not aware of that. The people for whom I speak want this bill. Mr. Winriams. I wish to get in the record the fact that members of this delegation in the House have talked to members of this com- mittee, including myself, at various times and very earnestly urged that the thing to do was for the committee to report the bill without the equalization feature. Of course they have a right to change their views. Mr. CLague. Present in the delegation this morning from the Senate are Senator Shipstead and Senator Schall, and from the House, Congressmen Knutson, Furlow, Maas, Kvale, Selveg, Clague, and Mr. Carss said he would be here, so did Mr. Goodwin. Our farm organizations of Minnesota are unanimously behind the McNary-Haugen bill with the equalization fee; and, speaking for them, they ask that it be brought out at the earliest possible moment. That is all there is ‘to it. } } Mr. WiLLiams. Mr. Clague, may I ask if the delegation believes that if the bill should be brought out that way it would have any chance of becoming law? Mr. Cracue. That we do not know. We feel that the bill had better now be brought out with the fee in the bill.
