Brookhart Attacks Coolidge Farm Bill Veto in Iowa
In Des Moines on March 31 Senator Brookhart denounced President Coolidge’s veto of the McNary Haugen farm bill as a stand against farmer economic equality. He argued the bill was trimmed by farm and business groups to meet scant demands and that a single presidential suggestion could have made it adequate. He noted Coolidge’s objections to price fixing and constitutional issues, contrasting with other government supports for railroads and wartime subsidies.
