SPECIAL SESSION IS URGED FOR FARMER Bankers and Business Men of Northwest Lay Relief Measures Before Coolidge at Washington.
By United Press WASHINGTON. Sept. 27—Calling for an extra session of Congress immediately, a delegation of Northwest bankers and business men today laid before President Coolidge two measures for assisting farmers and agriculture generally. These measures were: 1. Immediate revival of an extra session of Congress of the United States Grain Corporation as a marketing agency for grain surpluses. 2. Creating a board or commission to advise farmers as to acreage that can profitably be planted, so as to keep down the production to a level that will not glut the market with an unsalable surplus. Banker Heads Committee The committee was headed by A. D. Stephens, banker of Crookston, Minn., and Representative Young of North Dakota. Shortly before the bankers’ committee arrived, Senator Borah held a brief conference with the President, but stated he was not yet ready to present his complete farm relief program. He will return to the White House tomorrow or next day. President Has Data Coolidge has the data showing how wheat farmers are going bankrupt, mortgaging their farms, borrowing money and then being unable to repay it or to pay the interest; how farms are being sold for taxes and martgages foreclosed. Mr. Coolidge now has before him a great mass of suggestions and plans. Those which are receiving consideration include: 1. By Secretary of Agriculture Wallace—That a Federal grain export corporation be formed to find markets for surplus products, that a 25 per cent reduction in freight rates on farm products be made immediately. 2. By Representative Sydney Anderson, of Minnesota —That the tariff on wheat be sharply increased under the flexible provisions of the tariff law. 3. By Representative Sinclair, North Dakota—That the Norris-Sinclalr marketing bill be recommended for passage at an extra session of Congress. 4. By Northwestern Bankers—That the United States Grain Corporation be revived. 5. By a Number of Members of Congress—That the prices of wheat be fixed to give farmers a chance to sell at a figure that will pay the cost of production and leave a profit. 6. By Senators McNary and Stanfield, Oregon—That more adequate credit facilities be assured wheat farmers. ACTIVITY IS EXPLAINED Defeat of Administration Man in Washington Cause of Action.

the State of Washington, thus explained the apparent victory of his Democratic opponent who ran on a platform favoring wheat price fixing end other measures to relieve the condition of agriculture. Meyers’ words were a clear explanation to the activity of the administration In seeking means of helping the ’farmer out of the slough of debt and despair in which he is laboring. That Is a menace, the defeat of Meyer In Washington clearly shows. Producers there voted for a Democrat because they thought he offered them more hope of succor. Gen. A lilt man and Staff Guests Gen.
