IFitirm Legislation ! avlay x\wait Report ‘ of Investigators Senator Capper Foresee? Lit tle Action by Coming Ses sion of Congress on Agriculture. By H. K. REYNOLDS.

Nov. 10.—Congress *111 await the recommendations of President Coolidge's new agricultural commission before acting on proposed legislation In the Interest of the farm ing industry. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, leader of the senate “farm bloc," announced today in a statement to International News Service. Dqspite the desire of the administra tion to enact constructive and reme dial farm legislation without delay, Senator Capper Is of the opinion that little toward this end can be accom pl/Sbed In the forthcoming short ses ■In * of congress. Coincident with Capper's statement, Robert D. Carey, chairman of the president’s commission, told Interna tional News Service in a telegram from his home at Careyhurst, Wyo., that a "thorough Investigation of the agricultural situation would be neces sary,” according to bis view-, before definite recommendations could be made to congress. Carey said that he could not make jv^y predictions as to the plans of the ^commission in advance of Its first meeting next week. ^ . Plans Thorough Quiz, f “The commission is expected,” he ; said, “to make a thorough Investiga tion of the agricultural situation in the country and to make recommenda tions. i “I will say that I think much bene ficial legislation has already been •naete#, but in spite of this legislation the fares situation Is one of the great est prnbigwa that we have In this country. ‘‘If the commission is successful In helping the situation It will have accomplished much, and no one realizes more than I do the im portance of the work that we are now undertaking." While awaiting the report of the Carey commission. Senator Capper suggested that congress should pro ceed with a study of the transporta tion problems in its relations to agri culture with a view to working out j * Accra suitable system of freight rates on farm products. Capper Statement. Hie statement, telegraphed from his home in Topeka, Kan., follows: “I do not look for much agricul tural legislation at the approaching session of congress. Congress will no doubt give careful consideration to the recommendations of the na tional agricultural commisslort ap pointed by President Coolidge. The .„$>nibership of this new body Is made up of able men, who should . work out plans for a national policy ^xin production that will he of tre | mentions value in the long range ! trend. “Probably this will Include a study of extremely serious matter of a bet ter balance of production with con -umption, of the expanding home market in comparison with the de clining foreign demand for food, and of better plans for the sale of the products of American farms, includ ing cooperative marketing. "It is likely that congress will wish to get the advice of the new com mission before it act? on much of the proposed legislation. “Congress can go ahead at once, however, and try to work out fairer ,’a.t-s for the tall transportation of fstrm products. The cost of hauling grain and livestock from the middle west to the great surplus food con suming centers of the cast or to the gulf ports for export, is too high, and all out of line with the rates on other products, value considered. The best interests of the country demand that they be reduced. Marketing Problems. “I also feel that congress will give due consideration to the wishes of the co-operative marketing association* In regard to any new legislation along this line. Fortunately economic condi tions are better and farming is about through the readjustment period, but for a considerable time yet. farmers - will keep 1 heir weather eye on the , "southwest horizon and congress will the equally watching in guarding the ^interests of the producers.” Senator George W. Norris, chair man of the senate agricultural com mittee, is now motoring to Washing ton from his home In McCook, Neb., * and will call a meeting of the com mittee upon his arrival here to go over the farm legislation left over from the last session.
