Senators Will Ask Farm Aid Expansion
A 16 member Senate conference led by Agriculture Chairman Smith agreed to seek a total farm aid increase of 400 million dollars. They backed 250 million in additional farm benefit payments and 150 million to expand the surplus removal program, with possible attachment to the 835 million dollar agricultural supply bill. Southern lawmakers favored opposing the cotton export subsidy, while La Follette warned funding amounts depend on hearings. A subcommittee will begin hearings Monday on the appropriations bill.

Daniel O'Daniel Faces Rough Legislature In Texas
Governor O'Daniel confronts a resistant Texas Legislature as the three quarter mark of the session passes. He pushes for a translations tax to fund old age pensions and a state property tax abolition, but committees drop the plan. He backs a sales tax measure, but the House blocks it while the Senate contemplates a revived version. He seeks a unified budget and agency consolidation, an investigatory panel for the prison system, and a budget director. The Legislature rejects many proposals including the death penalty abolition and the budget director, while funds for Big Bend Park remain unappropriated.
