Coolidge Vetoes McNary Haugen Farm Relief Bill Again
President Coolidge vetoes the McNary Haugen farm relief measure for the second time, citing wasted potential and harmful effects. The plan would set up a federal farm board, create a 400 million dollar revolving fund, and use loans and an equalization fee, prompting criticism of price fixing, bureaucracy, and foreign competition. Senate passage would not overcome the veto, with House support lacking.
