Last week the House passed the Senate's farm relief bill. Representative Haugen's name (Iowa) again joined Senator McNary's (Oregon) as the author of what, in principle, was voted down once and shelved once by the 68th Congress, voted down and then passed by the 69th Congress, and finally vetoed last year by President Coolidge. The controversial nub of the scheme is illustrated in the pig-selling problem set up above. The pig men are U. S. farmers-raisers of livestock, grain, cotton, tobacco. The philanthropist is the U. S. President Coolidge has been willing...
...House debate, the equalization fee plan was momentarily sidetracked. Into the Committee of the whole-which is the compact form the House takes during the reading of major bills-Representative Aswell of Louisiana introduced a bill omitting the equalization fee and asked that it be substituted for the McNary-Haugen measure. The Committee of the whole voted in favor. Hubbub then reigned, because the members could not agree as to precisely what had happened, whether a whole new bill had been substituted or just an amendment. When the whole House met, the McNary-Haugenites settled the matter by passing their...
...Pending bills (see THE CONGRESS), and what he would do about them if passed in such-and-such forms, kept President Coolidge busily occupied, conferring, suggesting, protesting, making himself felt, making himself clear.

He yielded stubbornly to their insistences and insisted on points of his own. The new week began...
...There are a number of reasons for Mr. Hoover's weakness in the debatable territory. The Republican farmers in the section from Illinois west have an old prejudice against him which is difficult to remove by explanations, especially since he is lined up against them on the McNary-Haugen bill. The Republican big business men of the East have, so far as one can ascertain their state of mind, a rather subtle but deep distrust of his temperament and his philosophy. They seem to feel that Mr. Hoover thinks too highly of his own judgment in business affairs...
...length, the new McNary Bill went from the Senate to the House, there to be wedded, if possible, to a new Haugen Bill and redebated. Many a non-believer in the bill would vote for it, observers guessed, if they felt sure the President was going to use his veto. Then, when the bill goes back to Congress, the opportunists will make sure that the veto is not overridden by a two-thirds vote. Such has been McNary-Haugen history in the past...
