More Legislation to Aid the Farmer
Washington reports Representative Dickenson of Iowa, a Republican, has drafted two measures to aid farmers. One bill taxes 10 percent on the total value of grain contracts if delivery is not within thirty days. The other seeks a special committee to study grain, livestock, and cotton prices and propose remedies. Dickenson says the contract tax would curb speculative trading and stabilize prices, modeled on the 1918 cotton futures act taxing 2 cents on delivered contracts.
