FARM BODIES LEND BACKING FOR INFLATION Wide Relief Is Required to Stave Off Revolt, Senators Told. Dit f 'nitrrl prrns WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.—Two great farm organizations today threw their support behind currency inflation and a wide farm relief program as essential to rehabilitate agriculture and stave off agrarian revolt. John A. Simpson, president of the Farmers’ Union, and Edward A O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, testified before the senate agriculture committee as it opened hearings on the billion dollar domestic allotment farm bill. They testified the farmer was willing to help himself, but that congress also would have to come to his aid with a federal farm program and remonetization of silver or some other means by which the dollar could be cheapened and foreign markets regained for the farmer's crop Otherwise. O'Neal said, an agrarian revolt wthin a year would occur. Grange Head to Appear Louis J. Taber, master of the National Grange, is expected to testify Thursday. The allotment bill originated in a concerted effort by the three bodies and other farm organizations to draft a comprehensive program for relief of agriculture. It already has passed the house. Simpson, who described the present measure as affording only "a pittance of relief” split with O'Neal, who indorse aits provisons without exception. The former objected that the acreage control feature would be ‘as great a failure as the farm board” and insisted any price fixing bill must be based on a guarantee to the farmer that he received cost of production of his produce. Object to Control Provision Committee members objected to several features of the bill, especially the acreage control provision. Senator Ellison D. Smith <Dem., S. C.), said that bounties under the measure worked in an inverse ratio to the size of the exportable surplus in a given crop, and that consequently the cotton farmer, producing a 60 per cent export commodity, would not receive equal benefits. O'Neal• was asked whether the farm bureau federation approved the present bounty provisions of the bill covering seven crops; wheat, cotton, rice, tobacco, hogs, dairy products and peanuts. O’Neal said he felt the measure would apply, so long as it “did not destroy its worability,” to every crop with an exportable surplus. “As for dairy products, he added, “when the dairymen presented their arguments they converted me.” GLASS IN BUTTERMILK CLAIM: $5,000 ASKED Pullman Car Maid Sues Local Firm; Case Being Heard in Court.

debtor,” Senator Chester A. Perkins (Dem.. South Bend), declared in opposing passage. “It will make self-preservation a felony. Its favorable reception merely will show that the creditor class still is in the ascendancy. Such may not always be ’he case. “Our job should* be to maintain a balance between the creditor and debtor, and now is not the time to enact such laws as this. Let us go slow in' creating another crime tor the debtor fighting for his very existence.” This view was scoffed at by Senators William P. Dennigan (Dem., Vincennes) and Leo X. Smith (Dem., Indianapolis). The latter introduced the bill and Dennigan’s committee approved it, with amendments. Senator Jesse E. Wade (Demi, Mt. Vernon) took up the Perkins viewpoint and declared; "There is sufficient remedy in such matters under the civil law. Indiana already has 716 useless crimes and we need add none here. I'm opposed to putting new' crimes on the statute books for such petty offenses and railroading to jail those who can not defend themselves.” Under modern sanatorium care, four out of five cases of early or incipient tuberculosis are arrested.
