Congressional Early Action Shapes Farm Aid and Pensions
The House plans include bills on a farmer relief measure, a Groat-like tariff rider, and a Grout revival while McCleary Tawny and Davidson push competing versions. Other first-day items cover reciprocity commission finance, Puerto Rico statehood, Pacific cable ownership, and a $5,000 annual pension for Mrs. McKinley. Harrison pension riders face opposition. Russell Harrison lobbies in Washington. The President’s message pleases many, though tariff and trust rulings draw mixed reviews.
