Mitchell Evening Republican (Newspaper) - May 11, 1929, Mitchell, South Dakota Weather fair cooler the evening Republican i final mail edit Ion vol Xxxvi Mitchell s. Saturday May la 1929 twelve pages number 185 Williamson to give vote to debenture third District s. Congressman dissatisfied with Hoover Bill pest gets important Job is inadequate says evening Republican Bureau the Albee building Wshington Washington C., May joining with the two South Dakota senators Norbeck and Mcmaster representative William Williamson of the third District stated today that he would support the debenture plan of farm Relief if he is offered another Opportunity to vote on a farm Bill at this special session. Although explaining that he voted for the House Bill minus the debenture proposal a was the Best that could be obtained under present circumstances a representative Williamson was frankly critical of the merits of the House measure As effective farm Relief. Bill can to do much a the Bill will be of some Benefit i feel but As for handling the problem of the Large surplus crop for Export. I believe it can do nothing of great value a Williamson asserted. A i am ready to say now that if an Opportunity is presented i will cast my vote for the debenture pan at this representative Williamson the first of the South Dakota members of the House to make this declaration did not speak in behalf of the proposal during the course of debate in the House incident to passing the new Haugen Bill and cast his vote for the latter measure. A i feel that the Federal farm Board created in the House Bill will Propfe inadequate for three specific Williamson said. Has three objections a first because As i have said it will not handle the problem of surplus Export effectively perhaps the major consideration with South Dakota Grain growers. Second i think it will probably help the Middle Man More than the producer in its Domestic application. Finally unless the farm Board to handle the intricate mechanism of the bul is most carefully selected actual evil will asked if he would recommend any South Dakotan for membership on the Federal farm Board. Representative Williamson said a i will not recommend anyone for membership on a Board created by a Bill with which i am not in Obinata salary of chairman of Board Washington A. May ll�?1a5 a having voted on the most controversial sections of its farm Relief Bill the Senate took a recess today with passage of the measure in sight Early next week. On top of the decision wednesday to retain the Export debenture Section in the Bill despite president hoovers opposition the Senate yesterday refused to leave the salary of the chairman of the proposed Federal farm Board to the discretion of the chief executive. Adopting an amendment to fix it at s12 too a year. Although the Republican independents and democrats who in re up together to defeat the administration stand on the debenture proposal provided the principal strength for the salary amendment the Sham lines of Clea fige which developed in the former disagreement were not apparent yesterday and the elements of Bitte controversy were Larking. A different line up senator fess of Ohio assistant Republican whip whose complaint against a senator Borah and other pseudo republicans for disregarding president hoovers declaration against the debenture has served to keep that dispute alive and chairman Mcnary of the agriculture committee was among the administration supporters in the wednesday contest who opposed the delegation by Congress of Power to fix salaries to the prescient. Several debenture proponents on the other hand a ctr a to give the president that Power. The difference Between the intensity of the two issues was further emphasised by the fact that the wednesday vote was 47 to 44. Yesterdays count was 46 to 32. Vigorous disputes Hie to t vigorous disputes which developed yesterday in fact had to do with efforts to exclude Dairy products fruits and vegetables from commodities affected by the Bill two amendments looking to that end being voted Down by Large majorities. The possibility of a final vote in the Bill monday or tuesday is held out. In the agreement reached by the Senate to limit debate after 3 p a. Monday.

As to that and As to the situation generally the Only statement that can safely be made just now is that the publication of the Bill has led to a state of flux. Out of the flux almost anything can emerge. The Bill contains a larger number of changes than was anticipated i either by the Public or by the Lead ers who in the beginning visualized a strictly limited revision. By accurate understanding of what we As meant by a ohm item revision a the Bill might still be described conforming to mat Dei notion. It was never meant that the changes within the Field of agriculture should be limited at All. As to farm products the intention was and the fulfilment is that the chances affect nearly every farm crop to which it is possible to give Protection. Changes Arp numerous it was in the area of the schedules dealing with Industrial pros ducts that the changes were designed to be. In speaker Long Worth swords a was few in number As the present fact is that the initial impression made by the Bill feels that the changes Are pretty numerous and occur in a wide variety of schedules. It is True that the initial impression is necessarily Hasty and that thoughtful persons Are refraining from expressing judgment As to How the Bill will be received by the country and what Congress will do about it. All the present actions Point toward a pretty far reaching review of the Bill by Congress. Toward a prolonged debate and toward Many changes in the Bill As written. In the text of the Bill it is described As a a a readjustment.

Says hoovers Secretary of state Washington. C., May Llu a Secretary Stimson has begun a reorganization of the state department with a View to coordinating the increasing activities of its various divisions. But he is going slowly he explains because the state department a is the busiest office i Ever my the principal result of the reorganization 4hus far iras been to make the under Secretary of state j. Reuben Clark jr., the nominal coordinating officer corresponding As Stimson describes it. To a second in command for a chief of staff Stimson explained that in addition to bringing together the work of the various division chiefs the under Secretary would be in a position to take up the work of the Secretary himself in an emergency or during his absence from the City. Under the proposed system the Heads of divisions will be free to consult the Secretary although normally they will work through the under Secretary. The system will provide a method of sifting out for the attention of the Secretary the More important matters passing through the department. During the last few Days Stimson has set a precedent for secretaries of state by personally spending some time in the major divisions of the department talking to their chiefs and staffs to learn their problems Ai d the Type of work being done. He believes some legislation May be necessary in connection with the reorganization but has not decided what line this should take and it May be nothing More than a request for additional funds. He also has indicated that he May establish another precedent for the state department saying he considered it the duty of a Cabinet officer to go before Congress personally to present his departments budget. In discussing the functions of the state department Stimson says it is not so much a department that does things As one which is concerned primarily with ascertaining facts and representing american opinion All Over the world guiding and clarifying As far As possible the relations of America with other nations.

It is still Early to speak with Confidence on this Point however. It is equally Early to speak with Confidence about the probable length of the debate or the session of Congress.

Chairman Hawley of the House we ays and Means committee announced today that beginning tuesday the Republican members on the committee would hear any suggestions for changes in the pending Tariff Bill and if found warranted they would be offered As committee amendments on the floor. The decision was reached at a conference Between Hawley and representative Dickinson Republican. Iowa Leader of a group of Western republicans who believed some of the proposed agricultural rates Are inadequate. Hawley said any member who desired to offer suggestions for changes would be heard by the committee. Hanges suggested Dickinson said after the conference with Hawley that he believed the items entitled to renewed considerations were Casein flax tapioca did bilk figs Long Staple Cotton. Milling in Bond provisions for wheat Black strap molasses Gypsum and Mica. Hawley said that a there Are Likely to be some articles to which inadequate attention was Given in committee and the republicans will take up supplemental suggestions. If they Are found warranted the committee will offer them As amendments on the Only a few changes have been suggested thus far he said. The Rule under which House action on the present Fordney my Cumber Tariff act was expedited while it was under consideration in 1922 gave precedence to amendments proposed by the members of that committee without regard to regular rules. This and other special arrangements under which Tariff legislation has been considered in the past were called to the attention of the conference by chairman Snell of the rules committee but no action was taken to govern procedure with the new Bill. Provide for special votes a tentative Rule proposed by Snell resembled that w hich was invoked in 1922. And was drawn.

Congressmen of both parties declare that the Bill will be passed substantially As reported by the we avs Aud Means committee and that the real fight on the various schedules Many of which Are already in dispute will come in the St halts senator David a. Reed of Pennsylvania and senator w. H. Mamas ter of South Dakota both republicans but one the spokesman of the Industrial and the other of farming interests Are at Odds on the question of revision of the House Bill in the Senate and will be leading antagonists during the debate on the floor of the upper chamber. Couzens is a a insurgents the Pennsylvania senator has Hie advantage of membership on the finance committee and claims the support of a majority of the Republican members of the committee in urging More general revision of schedules upward than has been provided for in the House Bill. Other members of the committee regarded As High protectionists whose cooperation senator Reed expects Are Smoot of Utah chairman Deneen of Illinois Edge of new Jersey and Greene of Vermont. The Only member of the committee among the Republican majority who has insurgent tendencies and is regarded As an advocate of lower duties than some of those carried in the House b la is Couzens of Michigan. The attitude of the democratic minority on the finance committee will not he defined until the hearings get under Way but since the present session opened important shifts in the membership committee have changed the complexion of the minority. Senators Gerry of Rhode Island and Bayard of Delaware both from new England Industrial states retired March 4 and the Only democratic member substituted in their place under the reduction in the size of the committee is senator Connolly of Texas. This leaves senator Walsh of Massachusetts the Only Eastern Democrat on the committee with five of the eight minority seats held by Southern democrats led by senator Simmons of North Carolina a Low Tariff advocate. Taking the membership of the committee As a we Hole. New England and the South Are in a top heavy majority with Utah and California the Only states North of Oklahoma and West of the Mississippi River represented on the committee.

They anticipate that there is going to be political discontent in the farm sections this fall because there is going to be an immense world we heat crop and the immensity of the clop is going to cause Low prices for this commodity at least.

Tunney a condition that it is Felt that her tons about whether the new farm Relief plan we ill wholly cure farm discontent either this year or next year. Since the farm spokesmen have this anticipation about future political and economic conditions in farm territory it follows that they Are disposed to in to political sense a a make trouble about the Tariff. Persons who have looked into the rates of Protection Given by the new Tariff Bill on farm crops say that on the w Hole they Are satisfactory. The farm spokesmen How Ever Are in a mood not to be Content with any degree of Protection on farm crops whatever. They Are disposed to make War on the Protection Given to Industrial interests. In that disposition the farm leaders will find curiously enough Many allies among the Industrial leaders. Farm leaders and Industrial leaders share a common cause in their wish to open up the Bill and have a Long debate and a general revision on everything. Where roads part at this Point however the two groups part company. The farm spokesmen want a general revision of Industrial schedules but a revision downward. Industrial leaders want general revision of Industrial schedules but of course revision upward. Out of a situation so mixed and fluid almost anything can emerge. It is possible a Point May come where Industrial leaders May carry the War into the agricultural ranks and oppose the higher Protection that the Bill in its initial stage gives to raw materials and foods. One say As of today that the indications Point to a Long debate and to Many changes. In the Light of what the Senate has done this week about farm Relief it is not impossible that the end of the Tariff debate May be what at present seems incredible at namely a Iff in a prevailing by downward Dir general revision of the whole tar Section.

The condition of the South Dakota official who a week ago tonight took the turn which resulted in his illness becoming grave after he had expected to leave the Hospital the Middle of this week has remained virtually stationary throughout the week. Washington C., May Llu As a result of the recent disclosures before the Federal Trade commission of the acquisition of a financial interest by one of the Large Power companies in a number of newspapers a movement has been launched in Congress supported by progressive republicans and a number of democrats to Amend the act creating the Federal Power commission to increase its control Over Public Utility corporations doing interstate business and to provide specifically that the funds of such corporations shall not be used to obtain a financial interest directly or indirectly in any newspaper Magazine or other periodical or for the dissemination of propaganda in schools and colleges. Introduction of such legislation is expected to provoke one of the most heated controversies Over the special session. The Powter Public Utility interests of Federal control and Are strongly entrenched. Regulatory Power limited the need for such legislation its advocates contend arises from the fact that while there has been widespread condemnation of the propaganda activities of certain Public Utility corporations and associations which has been particularly severe As regards the Purchase of the stocks in newspapers there is now no method provided either in the state or Federal statutes for preventing or controlling such activities. The Federal Power commission under existing legislation has very limited regulatory Powers which apply Only in the Case of corporations holding licenses from the Federal government which Are located in states which have no Public utilities commissions. Over a Large proportion of this interstate Transfer of Power the individual states appear to possess no authority whatever. This is the ease where a distributing corporation purchases electric Energy wholesale from a corporation of another state for distribution and Sale in the receiving state. The supreme court has declared in the Attleboro Case that control Over such transactions rests solely in the Federal government. 75 per cent of Industry the Federal Trade commission in its official report has shown the importance of the holding company in the electrical Industry. It found in 1924 that holding companies controlled More than 75 per cent of the Industry and that More than four fifths of this was in the hands of eight groups of companies. This was five years ago. Since that time consolidation has been proceeding at a rapid rate. The electrical world for example reports that during 1928, 80 holding companies acquired More than 800 operating companies and obtained controlling interest in 55 minor holding companies. These holding companies Are not now subject to any regulations state or Federal and the question arises whether their operations Are of such a character As to be a affected with a Public interest and whether their activities constitute Commerce. These Are questions which must be decided by Congress and the courts. Vet Bureau will take retirements Sioux Falls s.

Basheba scores sufficiently so that he can absent himself from the capital for an appreciable length of time this fall.

He had considered going there on the return from South America but found that time would not permit. Formal invitations have come to the president from the Chambers of Commerce at Dallas. Fort Worth and Houston where the democratic National convention was held last year and expectation is that he will arrange his schedule so As to visit All three of these places naturally he will want to revisit the scenes of his flood Relief work on the Mississippi two years ago and so is expected to include Louisiana. Mississippi. Tennessee and perhaps Arkansas in his schedule. Tennessee is the Only one of these states he has visited since his nomination to the presidency. Gets Many invitations invitations also Are before the chief executive to visit Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia and Alabama and if possible lie will make stops in All of these commonwealths. He. Passed through the first four states going to and returning from his pre inaugural visit in Florida but his special trains made Only necessary operating stops Many of them at night. One or the latest invitations from the South to reach Hoover is that from the american legion at Birm perts reveal. Ingham to visit that City in novem in 1924 the number of persons Ber for the unveiling of a world War moving from farms to cities towns memorial. He has that under advisement. But is unlikely to reach any decision on that or other requests to attend specific events until a Short time before he turns to the Southland. Charleston wants him Charleston s. a has extended an invitation that he visit that City in september for the opening of the Kings Highway Bridge a Mammoth Structure spanning the Cooper River and forming the last connecting link in the Coastwise Highway from new York to Florida. Norfolk va., also has request so Hoover to come there and invitations have been extended for visits to Richmond the capital of the con Federly Raleigh and other cities farther to the South.

And villages was estimated Ai 075.000, increasing to 2,155,000 in 1926. For the last period for which figures Are available 1927, there was a migration of 1,978,000 persons from farm to City. On the other hand 1,396,000 persons quit the cities and towns for the agricultural regions during 1924, and 1,135,000 during 1926. For 1927, the figure increased to 1,374,000, thus indicating a contrary trend for the City to farm movement As contrasted with the farm to City movement. Annual average 801,000 Hie net movement from the farms during the 1924-27 period has averaged 801,000 persons the Survey shows. In 1924, a total of 679,000 persons represented the net farm loss this increased to 1,020.000 in 1926, but declined to 604,000 for 1927. The commission further estimates that the average farm loss for the period 1920-25 was 400,000 per annul while that for the year 1925 is set at 441.000, that of 1926, 649.000, and that of 1927, 193,000 persons. Interpreting the figures the commission states a those who stress the loss in farm population As an indication of the condition of agriculture concede that there is normally a net movement from farm to City and that this movement May have been accelerated during the last few years by the increased efficiency of farm operation and by the wider use of machinery of the farms. It is urged however that the outflow since 1920 has been so very Large As to leave no doubt As to the unsatisfactory condition of agriculture in this period. Difficult to assess Industry a it is difficult to assess the condition of an Industry which has suffered a loss of the net magnitude indicated above and yet has abandoned Only a minor part of its operations a the commission continues. A on the other hand the Over expansion of agriculture under the stimulus of War conditions made a Large loss of farm labor in the past War period inevitable and similarly the Adverse Post War conditions prompted the development of More efficient farming methods and the adoption of Labo saving machinery. A on the other Side improved methods and the increased use of machinery cannot be attributed entirely to the Post War conditions of agriculture and the attractions which the City has had do not necessarily reflect a distressed condition of agriculture. A from such indexes As Are available at present it is apparent that the real wages of Industrial workers have been substantially greater than those of agricultural labor in the Post War period. Adjustment inevitable a non economic considerations beyond assessment also play an important part in determining the movement from the farms As they do the farm Ard movement also. A the Large loss of farm population a the report concludes a was part of an inevitable adjustment rendered difficult because it was pressed into so Short a period of time. This phase of the adjustment has been largely accomplished and it leaves the Industry stronger than it otherwise would Kansas cloudburst takes two lives Topeka Kan.
