SENATOR DONAH SEEDS SPECIAL
SESSION FOR RELIEF OF FARMERS
Idaho S*«ator Cites Predominant Is

mission Will Submit Report to Chief
Soon.
Washington, Jan. 12.—While the
president's agricultural commission
continued Monday to wrestle with the
problem of farm relief. Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho, urged in the senate
that there be an early extra session of
the new congress to enact legislation
dealing with the subject
Calling attention that farm aid had
been a predominant issue in the last
campaign, the Idaho
the problem confronting the country,
tor declared
if the farmers are to have any perma
t relief, is the same as it was be
fore M» election.
my protest." he
rteuKure will have adjusted itself in
the near future.'* r
Betterments in some lines of agri
culture, he continued, have been due
the failure of crops to
Europe and the Dawes reparations
plan, but said that the Dawes plan
«could not be of lasting benefit unless
the amount of reparations to be paid
by Germany is fixed at s definite sum.
Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland,
took issue with Senator Borah. He
asserted that the plight of the farmer
was being relieved "by natural pro
cesses with which the government has
nothing to do."
"The truth is," the Maryland sena
tor said, "that the western farmer
■does not try hard enough. He is too
prone to run to the government with
his troubles. No matter how far from
legislative functions his trouble may
be. he sets up a cry. and we may con
sider ourselves fortunate if the cry
does not assume the toner of a threat
against the government."
When Senator Bruce declared at an
other point that he was almost con
strained to ask "is there any agricul
tural problem," several senators were
on their feet seeking to give the in-1
formation, but the Maryland senator
•declined to yield,
Recommendations for relief of the
livestock industry occupied the atten
tion of the agricultural commission.
These will be submitted to President
Coolidge next week, Chairman Carey
announcing that the report which was
expected to be completed on Monday.
would await the return here of Fred
H. Bixby, president of the American
National Livestock association, and
member of the commission, who is at
tending the association's convention at
report the commission will take up co
op.i-.tm. „.rketag of f.m producU.
farm relief and that this pledge stood
right to the "time of the counting of
the last vote; until the last voice was
heard," Senator Borah said the time
to redeem that pledge was just as aeon
as the power had been given to re~
deem it.
Complaining particularly against an
increase ip taxes paid by the farmer
from $624.000,000 in 191« to $1.700,
000,000 at present the Idaho senator
declared »0 system or program would
restore the American fanner to his
place Of prosperity "so long as the |
unconscionable exploitation contirm«*
an the name of government"
He also asserted that when the other
interesta in the country found them
selves in distrais, Congress had been
«puck to enact a tariff for theirpro
lection against competition. There
should be equal treatment, he insisted,
