Editorial notes on Coolidge critique over flood relief

The People's Legislative Bureau, based in Washington and led by insurgent Republicans, denounces President Coolidge for not calling a special session to aid Mississippi flood victims. It accuses him of political cowardice, protecting a large treasury surplus, and ignoring pleas from farmers and flood victims while aiming to claim credit in 1928 for tax cuts. It warns of ongoing suffering and signals farm relief demands or political consequences at the next session or campaign. The Des Moines Corn Belt Conference rejects compromise, insists on parity for agriculture, and cites tariff and pig iron issues as proof of government inconsistency. Herbert Hoover emphasizes the flood’s unprecedented scale and relief needs. The Fifth Annual Rural Women’s Short Course will be held at the University of Maryland June 13–18, with lectures from Katherine Fisher and Dr. L. Richards, and a certificate program for 50 women. applications due by June 4.
