LEGISLATION.
WASHINGTON, March 16-—(P)—
The question of toriff stood out to
day as one of the fighting points
wh‘ich may confront the house agri
culture committee in its efforts to
agree upon a mMmeasure to settle the
surplus farm problem.
The draft of the proposed legisla
tion prepared by the middle western
farm relief delegation, which ' has
been sitting with the committee, con
tains no direct mention of the tariff,
although chairman Haugen an
nounced two weeks ago that the plan
hefore the committee was “not worth
the paper it was written on because
of such an omission.”
The chairman advised the delega
tion to write into the bill a provision
empowering the president to raise
without limit the tariff on any agri
cultural commodity.
