Coolidge Papers. McNary-Haugen Bill, 1923-28.

Letters as well as reports, articles, and editorials from newspapers and farm magazines such as The Iowa Homestead express sentiment for and against McNary-Haugen farm relief legislation. Oregon Republican Senator Charles McNary sponsored the legislation in the Senate, while Iowa Republican Congressman Gilbert N. Haugen sponsored it in the House of Representatives. Some of the opposition is on the grounds that consumers would experience price increases. Counter proposals include the promotion of farmers' marketing cooperatives. The file contains a March 28, 1924, pro-McNary-Haugen report, "Equality for Agriculture as Provided by the McNary-Haugen Bill," prepared and published by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the American Livestock Association, the National Livestock Association, the American Wheat Growers Associated, and the Indiana Wheat Growers Association. A Washington Posteditorial of May 14, 1924, argues that farmers, especially wheat growers, should cut production down to the size of the home market. Additional selections from the case file include two minority views in opposition to the second bill, both from the House of Representatives, dated April 6, 1928, and April 11, 1928; a House/Senate Conference Report, dated May 12, 1928, from the Congressional Record, on a House amendment to the Federal Farm Board provisions of the Surplus Control Bill; and a May 22, 1928, typescript version of President Coolidge's May 23, 1928, veto message.
