Hoover urges federal farm board and tariff revision plan
President Hoover, in a brief state paper, calls for a federal farm board with broad powers and resources to address agricultural distress. He also proposes tariff reform, reorganization of the tariff commission, suspension of the national origins clause, census taking, and reapportionment. He stresses farmer ownership, no farmer fees, and government aid only when other credit is unavailable. The plan aims to modernize marketing, create cooperative agencies, and reduce waste while speeding tariff decisions. The House agriculture committee will push the farm bill, with Senate action expected next week.
