ON THE HGRU;ULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL Delivered in Hie Mouse ol Roprosontativcs on Monday. April 9. 1900. Tho lieuse hoing in Committee of tho Whole llouso on the state of the I' niori, ami having under con sideration tho bill (II, Ix. 10688) making appropriations for tho De partment of Agriculture for tho fis cal year ending .lupe 30, 11)01 Ali:. I i A TI.M KU said : Mn. CHAIRMAN : I desire to offer au amendment to this section. In a word, I desire to increase the appro priation for fanners' bulletins by tho amount of ?${20,000 ; and in order that tho section may bo in harmony, I desire in line 7, on page 25, to strike out the words "thirty-seven" and insert "lifty-sevon," making tho the increase of $20,000, as i have proposed. In line I I I move to strike out the words "two-thirds" and insert in lieu thereof "lour-lifths." In line I, on pago 20, strike out the word "Juno" and insert tho word "Marah.*' j lu line IT), on thc same page, strike out "eighty" and insert "ono hun dred and ;" sons lo read: "in all, j $105,000." Mr Chairman, this bill appropri ates $37,500 for the purpose of print ing fanners' bulletins. One-third of lhere bulletins are allotted lo tho Secretary of Agriculture and two of them ar?' for Congressional dis tribution. In other words, cub member of the I louse has allotted lo him about ;">,<>00 bulletins to be sent to bis constituents. There is hardly an agricultural district in ibis Union thal has not more than 15,000 fanners in it. There are more than 100 bulletins on different subjects, livery one of thom of great interest to our fanners, and yet we are de nied by this committee and this ap propriation the right to have more iban 0,(111(1 bulletins, h.""'7!)' enough to send one third of our constituents one each. Why ibis niggardly appropriation touching a matter of such great im portance? This committee has in this bill appropriated $780,000 foi the experiment stations. Why spend this large sum of money in furnish ing means to carry on experiments in fanning ? Why pay large sums nf money in salaries to experts in agriculture and then refuse lo print i be result of these experiments? Air. Chairman, il is this valuable informa tion, obtained at such great cost to the Government, thal the people want. Thousands of dollars are appropriated to maintain tin army in Luzon for tho purpose of plunder, murder, and to rob the poor Filipinos id" liberty ami their homos; but when we ask l'<?i- the stun of $20,000 for the purpose of printing fanners' bul letins and distributing ihetn where they will be road and prove valuable to tho groat.agricultural interest that feed the nation and furnish two thirds ol* the exports to foreign coun tries and thal enrich this nation, wi llied tho complaining lawyer, not w it li his usual claim that it is un constitutional, but that it is a waste niel that the people do not want the bulletins because they have not. asked io:- them. Mr. Chairman, the people do want them, and they expect, and have a right to expect, their representation in Congress to lookout, for their in terest and not unit to be written lo fur what they want, but lo send them every good und valuable thing that belongs to (beni or thal they are outil led to. Al r. ( 'hnirmnn, I charge this committee with disre spect lo ;i majority id' this House, u lo n (bey tailed to write $20,000 in the bill for increase in appropriation l<>i farmers' bulletins. I canvassed lins House with a petition to the Committee on Agriculture, asking that the appropriation for seed be increased by $10,000; for bulletins, $17,000; for agrostology, $8,000; uni 220 members signed that peti tion. I went before this committee .nul urged lliis increase in the differ ent items. The committee wrote io th?- bill $10,000 bu- seed and $?,OO0 for agrostology, and ilu d?an man admitted upon this Door this morning that the increase was allowed in compliance willi that pe tition, and yoi 11 / denied the in crease lor bullet ins. Mr. Chairman, one member stood upon this Moor and charged that members who signed that petition did md know what they were sign iii!.; ; thal seed was wanted, not bul letins. I hardly think in this great legislative body of intelligent men i lo y will let such a statement bo proven by the record when the vote ll.'IH been take. The fact ?H> tllO COIII millee was opposed t<> any increase, bul, thinking the inc- -ase lor seed was popular, 1 bey pul tlint, in and ignored ile- bulletins. Now, gen tlemen ?d' (Iiis I louse, you who signed tin- I'CfpiesI for this increase and yon who believe it just to the farmers of this country, I call upon you lo st and by this amendment. It ba> been submitted ns you requested. Tie committee, as I have '.aid,turned down "(d' us, ami it i.s our 1 urn now I ei ic vote ii in the bill and turn tho conimitteo down. I fool ?uro you will do it. Mr. Chairman, I do not. desire to consumo tho timo of tho House. I have said about all 1 had to say, ex cept that it is provided in this amendment that I have offered that on pago 20, lino 1, instead of ".June," tho word "March" shall bo inserted. The object of this is that these bul letins, when unclaimed by members, may lapse t< tho Secretary of Agri culture, so that ho may rcallot them to members of tho House after the bTst day of March instead of tho80th of .1 une. Now, it is hoped that Congress will adjourn by tho 15th of June. If we leave hero by that time, these bulletins, under this bill, will not lapse to tho members until tho 80th of June. I ask that that change may be made, so that the members of tho House may have tho privilege of these bulletins which may lapse on account of members not taking them. All that any member has to do in order to retain his quota is to notify the Secretary of Agriculture that he desires his quoin of bulletins, which can bc hold there. Without this notice, let them lapse on thc .'Hst of March, to be redistributed by the Secretary. MK. BUTI.KK. Will the gentleman from South Carolina allow me to put a question to him ? Mu. LATIMKU. Certainly. MK. BUTI.KK. Docs the gentle man contemplate asking for an ad ditional appropriation by way of an amendment to the bill to provide for additional Yearbooks, increasing the number when that part of the bill is reached ? Mu. LATIMKU. No, sir; this amend tuen t that I have offered is simply in regard to agricultural'bllL letins. MK. BUTI.KK. I understood thc gentleman to say that he intended also to ask for nil increase in the ap propriation for Year books. Did I misunderstand the gentleman ? MK. LATIMKU. YOU did. I should bc glad to vote for an increase in the Yearbooks and bor.se books, but that is not contemplated in this amendment. Mit. LATIMKU. Mr. Chairman, no tuan in this House has greater re spect for tho Secretary of Agricul ture than I have. I think every meinber of this House will agree with me that no man his lilied that position since the Department has been organized who has given such satisfaction. I went to thc Secre tary to lind out if I could get an ad ditional allotment of bulletins. Ile said to me that all the bulletins that have been appropriated for have been allotted to Members of Con gress and Senators ; and if bulletins lapsed last year, it is for tho reason that they did not lapse until tho80th of June. Members had probably gone to their homes. Bulletins were allotted, and those that lapsed arc now in the allotment for this year, and divided pro rata among the members of the House and the Senate. I say to members of this House that the Secretary ol' Agriculture does not object to our having an increase of $20,000 for the publication ol' these bulletins. It matters not whether he has recommended it to Congress or whether he has advised the commit tee to make the appropriation or not; that is not the question involved. I bi did ask you to give $8,000 for liie purpose ol' assisting tho Agrostologist in his work, and you refused and only gave him $5,000. You have not followed tho Secre tary and his recommendations ex cepting when they met your will. The publication of these bulletins is a matter of interest lo every mem ber of this House. We ar?! spend ing $780,000 for maint ?lining exper iment stations throughout the coun try. I want to ask gen', leinen of this committee and members of this House, why continuo these experi ment stations at tho cost of *7.so,() if? annually if we refuse to send out ila; information acquired through these instil niions ? It is 'valuable information which every fanner ought lo have; and I want to say to the gentleman from Illinois thal out of the 200 bulletins which have been printed there are at least 100 that every larmer in your district would like to read, be cause they deal with subjects of vital interest to him. There is no greater interest in this country than that, of agriculture. The gentleman from Missouri stated that about two thirds ol' tho exports from this country were furnished by the farms ; yet the gentleman refused to agree to increase this appropriation so that the valuable information gathered by mir experiment stations might bo sent out to the fanners of the coun try, and thereby aid in increasing this port trade and thus adding to our national wealth. Now, a word with regard lo the position taken by tin* ?Secretary of Agriculture. Ile said if we wanted to increase the appropriation for seeds the members ol' this I louse have a right to so provide in the bill ; that they send Olli these seeds to the country; that, tho Secretary of Agriculture gels one-third (d' tho semis and one-third of the agricul tural bulletins, and that is all he eures to semi out. Hut what, comes of tho members ol' tho House? What are .idilio bulletins to Uoprosonla ti VCR hnvbg a constituency of per haps 20,000 farmorH ? Mit. CANNON. Will tllO gOllth . man allow mo a question ? 1 think it quite important that theso bulle tins should be sent out to agricul tural districts ; but does not the gen tlomau think that if any member de sires to send out to hts constituents more than his quota hu luis friends on both sides of tho House who do not need these bulletins for distribu tion, and who would be very glad to draw them and hand them over to those who need thom ? Mn. liATIMKlt. I a?n glad tho gen tleman has made that point. There aro members who represent city dis tricts and who are willing to give their bulletins to those who rcprcsont rural districts. But does not the gentleman know that, whilo only 5,000 bulletins aro issuod to each member of tho House, there arc members who have twenty or thirty thousand mon in their district who would be glad to receive them ; and th.*tt the number issued ?B not one third enough to go mound among the faro ors of the country? This val na ble information, which is being printed in these bulletins, is not fully distributed to the people, because Ibero arc thousands of farmers in our districts who would like to have fifteen or twenty of these bulletins, as they aro written on different sub jects. I hope that this amendment ap propriating $20,000 for this purpose will bo adopted. Thc result will be that each member will get 10,000 bulletins instead of r>,000. I hope, also, that tho Secretary of Agricul ture will be allowed to furnish to members who have not enough bul letins lo distribute to their agricul tural or rural districts the surplus undisposed of on the Hist of March, instead of the 1st of May, as provi ded in this bill. Tho gentleman from Illinois [Mr. HOPKINS] states that the people in our districts have not asked for the bulletins. In reply to that I ask the gentle man if he sits here'and waits for his constituents to call upon him for every valuable publication intended for their use? And I ask him if that is his idea of a true representa tive of the people? The people have commissioned us lo come here in orilcr that we may look out for their interest in all lines, and if il is true that a million of these bulletins lapsed to tho Secretary last, year and were not sent out by members to whom they were allotted, it is proof to my mind that they have neglected their duty to their constituents. Many of your constituents are not informed in regard tc the number of bulletins you arc intitlcd to [Here the hammer fell.] Note-The bill passed the House with all amendments.
