Proclamation Issued On j Opening Debate In Senate. ! ■Washington, Sept, 8,—Further in-, creases in many of the agricultural duties in the senate tariff bill were proposed in a program made public today in behalf of organized Ameri can farmers, i The farmer’s proclamation called i for the higher duties on sugar and to- L-acco pr'vided by the house bill, and cemanded increased rates on cattle,' cheese, fiaxseed, white potatoes, raw wool, hay, staple cotton and numer-' ous vegetables, | Issued on the eve of the opening of the tariff debate in the senate tomor- the agricultural declaration ^i^r=dt=dr=dr=dr=3f==if==Ji=Jr==ir==Jr==if=3r^r-==ir==ri==ir=ir=dradi=Ji==ir=ir==ii=irfisdi=dirar^ fl fl B B row, avoided the controversy in the se.iate on whether the tariff revision should be restricted solely to farm products, as proposed by the’ Republican Inde pendent group. The farm statement Jid urge tha; the senate pass the tariff bill within the extra session or before the rejtu- lar session convenes in December. It approved some of the agricultural duties provided by the pending tariff measure and requested that no reduc tion be sought in any of the farm rates. The agricultural program was sign ed by the representatives of the Xa^ tional ^Grange, American Farm Bu reau Federation, National Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation, National D^iry Union, American National Live stock Association, National Wool Mar keting Council, Southern Tariff As sociation, Aivisory Board Growers’ Tariff League, Vegetables Growers’ Association of America, Kansas State Livestock Association, Central Coop-' erative Association and the National Livestock Producers’ Association, j Picturing a period of distress for agriculture over the last eight years. during which taxes have increased for the farmer while purchasing power has fallen from 15 to 25 per cent be low pre-war levels, the farmer organi zations said: “A condition of this kind is difficult to rectify by means of reducing pro duction because the interest of the in dividual farmer requires that he make his land yield all that his acreage will permit. In consequence we have the • spectacle of'some crops being pro-! duced beyond the national need with farmers unable to bring about a con-1 dition of balanced production because of more than $600,000,000 worth of i agricultural products being imported; into this country and offereJ at prices I which make it difficult for domestic ^ agriculture to compete with the for-1 eign products. “If agriculture is to make the need ed readjustments of production remu nerative prices must be obtained for the products grown on farms. Such prices can be approached if congress enacts a tariff bill that will protect ’ the domestic market for the agricul tural producers.’’ The senate will give first consider ation tomorrdw upon the formal open ing of the tariff debate to the resolu-| tion proposed by Senator Simmons of j North Carolina, ranking Democrat on j the finance committee, to make avail-1 able the income tax returns of corpor- j ations whose interests are touched by! the tariff revision. Administration Re-1 publicans are fighting the resolution i but the Republican Independent group, i headed by Senator Borah of Idaho, is 1 supporting it and a combination of j this group and Democrats may give it a majority.
