Cootidge Agriculture Com 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.
