As the special session of congress washes up preparatory to quitting. It seems Experimental to me that Interest Legislation wn,ers n chle"y, leglstwo pieces lation coming from the great mill of .qj7 laws. Singularly enough, each must he denominated as experimental. I refer to the farm bill, with its inflation powers, and the measure designed to transform the Tennessee river valley into a gigantic laboratory for development of partially-trieplans and exwith the with theories, perimentation Muscle Shoals nitrate and power plants asythe center. The special session has worked at top speed. Seldom lias so much been accomplished, if the measure he by volume, as has resulted from the labors of congress under the lash and complete domination of President Roosevelt. But we are concerned now with an aftermath, with a continuing force. Hence, the two enactments mentioned stand out, for the effect of the farm Mil will be direct and that of the Tennessee river experiment may mark an economic milestone In the nation's history. President Roosevelt declined to assure success for the farm bill. He termed It a gigantic experiment, an . effort offered In search of relief for X downtrodden agriculture, a hope for Musbetter conditions. The cle Shoals legislation Is experimental by its own language. The provision of the farm bill delegating to the President authority to use Inflationary measures with the currency Is, of course, vital to every one. It has been analyzed In this column heretofore and while every one Is Interested In what the President may do with those powers. It does not partake of the same conditions or circumstances as the farm or Muscle Shoals legislation. While each of these measures Is designed to aid" agriculture, there Is a point of striking dissimilarity between thera. The farm relief measure is designed to have an Immediate effect. No such thought Is entertained respecting' the Muscle Shoals development proposal. Its purpose Is predicated on a belief by those who fostered it that It will be of lasting benefit to the human race. If the theories prove workable and partially-trieplans can be carried on to successful conclusion, the hope doubtless can be realized. , - d d " President Roosevelt told congress when he asked enactment of the farm relief bill that he A New and deemed it emergent- take UntrodPath lconstructive steps lfi aid of agriculture. "Deep study and the Joint counsel of many points of view," the President said, "have produced a measure which offers great promise of good results. I tell you frankly that it Is a new and untrod path, hut I tell you with equal frankness that an unprecedented condition calls for the trial of new means to rescue agriculture." The President added that if It failed to develop those results "I will lie the first to acknowledge It and advise you." It appears then as a hope. We are starting on a new road. The first principle of the bill Is most peculiar. It would have cotton farmers purchase government-ownecotton at the present market price to whatever extent they will do so and reduce their acreage this year in accordance with the amount so bought by them and which will be held by the secretary of agriculture In trust for the purchasers until 19". If they desire. The purchases therefore can be made on credit. The purpose of this, of course. Is to reduce production and thereby reduce the surplus In one and the same contract. The farmers cannot buy the government cotton without there being a resulting decrease In acreage. Simply stated, then, this principle is designed to shorten the supply and cause an Increase In price. Of course, the farmer takes the chance that there will be no increase in price, but here again, it is "a new and untrod path" and that chance may win. The second section of the measure has been attacked by its critics as "robbing Feter to pay Paul." It gives the secretary of agriculture authority to lease agricultural lands, paying the owner agreed sums as rental, to accomplish a reduction in acrenge by removing those lands from crop productive use. That, as is readily discernible, will be an expensive proposition. The government could not do it without having funds come from somewhere to make such payments. So the sponsors of the bill laid a tax on the processors of agricultural commodities to obtain needed revenue. It hardly need be said that the processors the packer of meats, the miller of flour, the spinners of cotton, etc. are going to fight this section. d a r Then, this complex piece of legislation also provides for use of the allotment plan, and other Consumers taxes on the pro- Will Pav ces9on 'id u8e of tarlff aga,ngt Im. ports to drive the prices of farm onunodlties higher.

That is, all except those who are unemployed an without funds. They cannot buy now, and charily or public relief sources will pay the added costs. The amount of the tax to be levied on the processor, and paid the farmers who agree to reduce acreage and that agreement must be made Is a thing which must be worked out by the secretary of agriculture. Never before, as far as my research has disclosed, has an official of government in this country had such wide powers. Rut the President Justifies them on the ground of the necessity for preservation of agriculture. The processors tax is to be added to the price the farmer receives for that portion of his crop consumed In the United States. Normally our exports as a whole are only about 10 per cent of the total. ,The bill, however, is not applicable to all commodities. It takes in cotton, wheat, rice, tobacco, sugar beets, sugar cane, milk and Its products and hogs, but the secretary of agriculture has power to make It Inoperative as to any one or all of them if market conditions are such as make the use of the law inadvisable. The processors' tax is being levied under the guise of what Is called "parity of prices." It is the purpose to lift the returns which the farmer receives to a basis where compensation for his labor shall be proportionately the same. In relation to the prices he pays for things he buys, as the ratio between the sale and purchase stood It Is comIn UT14. That is involved. In extreme. the plex But there Is no need of services of a soothsayer in pointing to the tremendous organization that is going to be necessary In carrying out such legislation. A thousand and one things must be considered, Inspected, guarded, negotiated, enforced. Government employees must do that work. The machine can be made to click and run smoothly, say supporters of the plan." It Is the most gigantic political machine in history, say opponents of the program. Whichever view is correct. It remains as a fact that there will be government agents In every county to tell farmers who enter into the agreements on acreage reduction what they shall do and what they shall not do; there will be inspectors galore in processing plants and accountants checking books when necessary, and there will be taxes collected in whatever amount the secretary of agriculture decrees to be needed to pay the cost. It Is in the appointment of the personnel for carrying out the act that opponents of the plan Insist there Is the greatest danger.

As an example of the old order, Federal Farm Board money could be obtained directly by an Individual, but only through the medium of a cooperative organization approved by the Farm Board officals. A decision has recently been made by officals of the Agricultural Credit Corporation and also by the Intermediate Credit Corporation, which may vitually affect the marketing of all farm products. Announcement is made that no wool on which either of these agencies have loaned money can hereafter be sold directly by the borrower in the country F. O.

Country sales of wool have been general in the past, with speculators wool houses scatterd about the country, buying at what ever price they had to pay, according to the in- formation and trading ability of the seller. Such practice Is ruinous to the wool market and prevents anything like stabilization of the price structure. On other, hand when all sales are made on a central market, supply and demand establish values fair to call.

Senator Norris has argued for years for utilization of the country's water resources in development of electric power, and the use of that power In providing cheaper fertilizer for farms.
