300 FARM LEADERS DEMAND CONGRESS GIVE RELIEF

20 STATES IN PARLEY FAVOR HAUGEN PLAN Sweeping Indictment Made at St. Louis Meeting of Opponents. COOLIDGE IS CRITICISED •Barren of Constructive Proposals;’ Other U. S. Chiefs Hit. BY FOSTER EATON (United Press Staff Correspondent) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 2—ln a sweeping indictment of the foes of farm relief, 300 agricultural leaders from twenty Mid-West and Southern States unanimously adopted a resolution in conference here today demanding “re-enactment of legislation effectively incorporating the* principles o f the McNary-Haugen bill.” The resolution criticised President CooUdge’s farm policy. An appeal was issued “to the great agricultural sections of the nation” to throw their voting support to candidates favorable to farm relief in the approaching presidential election, regardless of previous party allegiance. No specific mention of any particular candidate was made. Coolidge Is Scored Members of both the Democratic and Republican parties antagonistic to the McNary-Haugen bill were scored for their alleged failure to carry out platform promises while President Coolidge, characterized as “barren of constructive proposals,” was scored for “nullifying by a veto the act of Congress for agriculture.” Persons singled out for attack included, in addition to the President, Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury; United States Senators Borah (Rep.), of Idaho; Reed (Dem.), of Missouri; Fess (Rep.), of Ohio, and Bruce (Dem.), of Maryland; and Julius Barnes, former head of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Organizations attacked for their alleged opposition included the United States Chamber of Commerce, cited as a “conspicuous example of past unfair policy”; farm crop dealers and speculators, “particularly the grain and coton exchanges”; and “certain industrial groups in the east who want cheap foodstuffs regardless of what happens to the producers.” Leaders of the labor movement in America were criticised for their alleged disregard of the city-ward trend of labor, characterized as desired by “certain large employers, as it promises soon to provide two bidders for every job, enabling employers to name their own wage scales.” Give Congress Advice Two specific recommendations “for the organization of the Seventieth Congress” so that “the way is not closed against enactment of effective legislation’.’ were made. “We ask our representatives to insist upon the adoption of a House rule,” the resolution head, “under which 175 members can, by petition, take any measure from any committee and place it upon the calendar for a vote. “Two members of the House Committee on Agriculture were not returned to the Seventieth Congress —one from Nebraska and one from Kansas. We urge that these places be filled by farm-minded men from agricultural States otherwise left without representation on the committee.”

HOLMES CLAIMS ERROR Declines Credit for Causing Duvalls to Resign. Ira M. Holmes today said that a wrong impression resulted from a statement he issued after he gave up his claims to the mayor's office Monday afternoon. Holmes was quoted as saying that the city is indebted to him for “getting the Duvalls to resign,” and that they would have resigned for no one but him. “If I did say that, what I meant to convey was that I believed I had performed a service by bringing the whole mayoralty tangle to a head. Mr. and Mrs. Duvall resigned only because Duvall did not want to tie up the pay rolls of city employes and teachers,” said Holmes.

BIG BUSINESS URGES HEAVY CUTINTAXES U, S. Public Will Benefit by Reduced Prices, Congress Leaders Told. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Republicans and Democrats were in agreement here today on the principle that the present corporation income tax be reduced. Both sides in the tax fight, the preliminary to which is the present group of House Ways and Means Committee hearings, made known they favor a cut, but differences have developed as to its extent. Secretary of Treasury Mellon ) as proposed the present 13 per cent rate to be cut to 12 per cent, but Representative Garner, ranking minority member of the cofiftnittee, and other Democrats insist the reduction can be to 10 per cent. Declare Public Will Benefit The Garner proposal would cost an estimated $300,000,000 or more, jwhile Mellon holds $225,000,000 should be the limit of all tax cuts. Proponents of a reduction declare ,the general public will benefit by a reduction, as corporations will be able then to reduce prices. Garner has able backing from Senator Simmons, N. C., ranking minority member of the Senate Finance Committee, who feels the tax reduction total could be $400,000,000 with cuts or eliminations in other rates than the corporation levy. Likewise, many manufacturing and business organizations favor Gamer’s idea of a deeper cut than the Mellon proposal. Feature Corporation Tax Nine representatives of railroads, lumber manufacturers, coal dealers, chambers of commerce and banks were listed to appear before the committe today to indorse Garner's views. The list included: Alfred P. Thom, Association of Railway Executives; Frank J. Wisner, Laurel, Miss., National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association; W. L. Crouse, Druggists and Cigar Leaf Tobacco Associations; P. W. Pinkerton, Illinois Chamber of Commerce; George M. Craig, Merchants National Bank, Port Arthur, Texas; Thomas N. McCarter, Jersey City, Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, and George A. Rich, Boston, Mass., stock exchange. The present plan of both sides is to make the corporations tax cut the chief feature of the new revenue bill the committee is framing for introduction as soon as Congress reconvenes. No reduction in that tax has been made in recent years.
