McNary Opens Door to Dropping Equalization Fee
Senator McNary said he would drop the equalization fee in the McNary Haugen farm relief bill to win passage of farm legislation next Congress. After a 15 minute talk with Herbert Hoover the Oregon Republican urged support for a bill without the fee to aid farmers and push early action. The plan envisions a federal farm board with loans to cooperatives and stabilization firms to curb price swings and manage surpluses.
