Wnahinffton, Feb. 26.—The McNery*
Haugen farm relief bill, the handi
work of the Western Harm bloc and
the' Southern Democrat*, was con-
aifned to the waste basket today by
presidential veto. ' ,rv
With it died all hope of greneral
farm legislation at this session of
tongreaa. The senate will vote to-
mornotw on the question of overriding
|| the veto, but the pnocesa will be
* Merely a gesture. No one expecta the

that the roll cafl will give notice to

a McNary-Haugen hill is promised
when congress meets again ip Sep
tember, and political leader* on both

parried over into the 1928 campaign.
President Coolidge took hi* stand
against the bill in unequivocal fash
ion. In a long veto message dissect-
~——• *
ing the measure, he declared it an
“economic (oily" to attempt to regu
late farm surpluses by levying an
equalization fee on basic farm commo
dities; pronounced the proposal dis
criminatory because it did not apply
to all farm products; said in plain
terms that it was a scheme for price

THURSDAY, MARCH 3RD, IfT.
(Avtoca<
H!*rc is the newest star to join
the staff of this newspaper, C. M.
Payne, originator of the mirthful
comic,—j‘S-matter Pop." His comics

would result in overproduction in* the.

would be a crash.
“Except as it may be restrained by
fleer of foreign importation," the
preeideut added, “the farm board is
given the power to fix the prices of
these necessities of life at any point
it sees fit. The law fixes and re
quires no regulation of any kind, fo
fixing that would raise the cost of i expect moderation under these cir*
living and would not Issneftt" the fAV-1 cuntstanre* is to disregard exper-
mer. For good measure, he sent
•long to the capital iyi opinion by
Attorney General Sargent, declaring
the bill unconstitutional in its vital
proviaion*.
As «n alternative, to meet an agri-
cuttural condition which he conceded
to be unsatisfactory, the president re
newed hi* recommendation for pas-
Mge of other plans proposed in con-
gress foe- the recovery of agriculture.
He declared these programs “offer
promise ci sound aassistance to the
fanners without' these unronstitu-
tionalitiev invasion of executive au
thority, thus contrasting with packer*
and flour miller and other manufac
turer*. this overproduction with its
inflation and inevitable crash, with
out this indirect price fixing, huyin.*
and selling, this creati n of huge
bureaucracies,” involved in the- Me-
N^ry-Haugen mosaare
Graup Favoritism.
While stating that myiy other rat-
•onie exisU-d why the measure should
tot he approved, the imrsident said
the most decisive one wws that it was
gnccnHitutional. He also pointed out
that the hill singled out cotton, corn,
rice. swine, tobacco snd wheat “for
•pecial favors’* at the expense <f
other farm products, and contend'd
that it was “for certain gnaipe of
fanners in certain sections of the
country."
“The me* sc re disci irtin ten deftni-
tely against product* which make un
what is universally considered a pro
gram of safe farming," he said. “Can
It be thought that auch legislation
could have the sanction of the rank
and file of the nationV farmers?”
At another point in hia mc*.*ngi-the
president said it “foeais almost in
credible that the producers of hog*,
com, wheat, rice, tahucco and cotton
should be offered a scheme of legis
lative relief in which the only persons
who are guarunteed a profit are th®
exporters, peckers, millers, cotton
ials, and added that “{government price
fixing, once started, has alike no jus-
>tice and no end." ^ —
“It is an economic folly from which
this country has every right to bo
spared," he said.
Characterizing the equalhalion fee
to be paid by producers of the basic
farm commodities 5*0 that -surpluses
might be exported as a tax for the
•pecial benefit of particular groups,
the executive said that “as « direct
tax on certain of the vital necessaries
of life it represents the most vicious
form of taxation."
Board Defect Stressed.
Another defect in the judgment of
the president was thiat a board of
12 men to be selected !»y t^e farm
’groups could not only fix the price
; which the producers of the basic crops
named would receive, for 'their goods
but*could also “fix the price which the
consumers of the country shall pay for
Hfetae commodities."
"The chief objection to the biU is
it would not benefit the fanner,"
ir. Coolidge said at another point,
Jdkli
■i
Asserting that the administrative
difficulties involved were sufficient t®
wreck the pen <rf the bill, the execu
tive said the measure would mean
"an enjrmous builder up of govern
ment bureaucracy to let and inspect
the hillkm* of dollars worth of con
tracts which would have to be en
tered int^ in cairyingout the plan."
Another bureaucracy would have to
t>e built up to collect and distribute
the equalization fee. he continuid,
adding that there was no reason why
-ther 'industries should not receive
the *un<- tiraiment as agriculture in
“every occasional difficulty."
"Such action would establish bu-
reaqrracy <*n such a scale ai to dom!-
ni'e npt only the ec^noyi? life *>u*
the moral, social and political future
of our people," Mr. Coolidge asserted.
West Alienated?
The mes* »ge was sent to the sen it«
immediately after it met at ryxm hut ^
it was not read until mid-afternoon
because of the parlimentary situation.
It* purport wae known long in ad
vance »f the reading and most of the |
farm leader** had made comment on
the president's action.
Pndiction* that the veto would
alienaite n large part of the West from
Mr. Couiidge politically were support
ed by the comment of leaders in sym
pathy with the bill. While they
Hid not say anything about the politi
cal effect, they emphasized that the
vet would prove highly disappointing
to the people of that section of the
country. * , *
Similar expression was made on the
fft>or of the senate during discussion
of the message after the reading.
Senator McNary, of Oregon, chairman
of the agriculture committee and co
author of the bill, moved to- refer the
message to this entymittee.
This brought protest from the Demo-'
cratic leader, Robinson of Arkansas,
and Senator Moses (Republican) of
•pinners and others P-ofifng on some- New Hampshire, charged that the
of the nation's basic foods and mater-
purpose was to pigeonhole it there,
McNary <ienied that this was intended.
Earlier in the day the Oregon sena
tor had said that there wiould bo no
effort to override the veto, but after
the senate debate he announced he
would have to override immediately
after the senate convenes at rt:cm to
morrow. *
Upbn its original passage, the bill
carried only, comparatively small ma
jorities in both the senate and hou*e
and its authors freely conceded th^t
there could be little hmpe of overrid
ing the president in either branch of
congress. ->
The senate vote livas 47 to 39 and
the house vote, 214 to 178. If the
senate fail 3 to give the notion to
•override a two-thirds majority of
those present and voting that will
definitely kill the bill for thl* session.

I. Preaching Everywhere (Act* 8:4).
Following the stoning of Stephen,
the enemies of the Lord were more
active than ever In their efforts to
stamp out the uew faith. With Saul
as their feeder they dragged men and
women from their homes and Impris
oned those who confessed Christ The.
devil overreached himself in this for
this persecution scattered the be
lievers everywhere and they preached
the gospel as they went. The time had
now come for this witness-bearing to
extend beyond Jerusalem as the Lord
had Commanded. The Lord permitted
this persecution so as to scatter them.
II. Philip Preaching the Gospel in
Samaria (vv. 6-8). ~
Philip was one of the seven so-called
deacons. He was not an apoatle, nor
a 111 In Inter In the accepted sense of
that term, but a layman. He ie the
only man called an evangelist In the
New Testament. He Is an example of
what a devoted layman can do In
preaching the gospel in the evangeli
zation of the world. He went to the
city of Samaria and preached Christ,
allowing'that the purpoae of God In
cluded these despised people. The
fact that Philip preached Christ unto
these people shows that the true evan
gelist's message Is Jesus Christ. He
did not preach Christ as an ethical
teacher or an example merely, but
Christ as the Savior from sin through
the substitutionary offering of Him
self on the cross. This Is shown by
the fact that he preached Christ to
the eunuch from the fifty-third chap
ter of Isaiah. He not only preached
Christ as the SavldT from -the guilt of
sib. but from* the power of fin as
symbolIxed In baptism, which means
not only Ideutlflcatlon with Christ In
His death, but to arise in the power
.of Ills resurrection, to walk In new
ness of life. Then, to*, according to
verve 12 he preached Chri*^ as a
retgnlng king Philip's preaching was
fruitful, for mntitude* believed hi*
message which was accompanied with
numerous miracles. He cast out un
clean s|4rlta. healed the palsied and
the Ipme. Great joy accompanied the
reception of the gospel by these Sa
maritans. *
III. Raul an Example of a Tn«*
Preacher of th* Gospel (II Cor. 5:9-2U).
1. Ilia supreme aim was to please
God (v. 9).
-Vo live or to die was Imma
terial to him If bis service was but
acceptable to God. This transcendent
aim was strengthened by the cop-
sriousneaa that every one must one
day stand before the Judgment seat of
Christ Tills aim explains Paol's de
votion.
2. lira consciousness of responsi
bility (v. 11).
His seqse of koiemn responsibility
was the explanation of Paul's bs-
havior. Some thpught that he was
mentally unbalanced. His knowledge
of God's holy nature and of man’s
sinful condition moved him earnestly
to persuade men to be reconciled to
God. No one who knows God’s terror
will be half-hearted In his ministry.
-3. He whs constrained by the love
of Christ (v. 14).
This means that lie was governed
by Christ’s love. Ministerial®devoilpn'
Is the expression of replcrocal. love.
Christ’s supreme love was expressed
In H’s death for us. Our love in re
turn is expressed in our devotion to
Him. .
*. Consciousness of the God-wrought
change In Him (v. 17).
It was because he was wrought upon
by God and was therefore a new crea
ture that he sought to do His will.
5. The content of the gospel which
die preached (vv. 18, 19).
The recooriHatlon of God through
the death of Christ was his central
message. In the incarnation God was
In Christ, reconciling the world unto
Himself. >* .
6. Paul was an ambassador sent
from God to appeal to the world to be
reconciled uulo God (v. 20).
He was the ambassador'from the
high court of heaven sent to this re
bellious world. In a real sense, every
Christian minister la occupying the
same position.
