Dear Friends:
A sudden quiet has fallen on Capitol
Hill. The debate on the Agricultural
Appropriation Bill lasted for a week
and a day. The sessions ran on into
the nights and at times they became
very heated. On the 21st we finally
passed the Bill by an overwhelming
vote. Before the final vote was taken,
the Bill was amended in several im-
portant particulars. Most important
of all was the “Cannon” Amendment
which prohibited the Agrciulture De-
partment from using any of this
money to make “incentive payments.”
I think that the wording of the Bill
was clearly to the effect that this
money should not he so used, and I
feel that there has never been any
authority to use public money for this
purpose, but we have had such fre-
quent experiences where these De-
partments exercised powers not given
to them that those of us who believe
that the farmer should be given a fair
price Jn the market place wanted to
LIMIT ON RECAPPING
May 1 there will be no re-
on the number of certifi-
; may be issued for recapping
tires. Because recapping takes
as much crude rubber
the OPA has removed
so that the tires
the re-
be sure that the money we appro-
priated for conservation payments
would not be used to keep farm prices
from reaching a fair level; and that
is exactly what the Department
planned to do with the “incentive pay-
ments.” I think the most effective
“incentive” to production is the as-
surance of an adequate price. I there-
fore voted for the Cannon Amendment.
Likewise I voted for the amendment
to provide money for the continuation
of the R. E. A., and I am happy to re-
port this amendment carried, although
the amount will be substantially less
than in the past. In this connection it
must be remembered that we can not
at this time carry on the kind of R.
E. A. program that we should like be-
cause of the shortage of copper.
Therefore, this small appropriation is
probably adequate for the time being.
I trust that when material is avail-
able that we will be able to secure all
of the funds needed for a really com-
prehensive R. E. A. loan program that
will enable us to bring electricity to
every rural home.
Since passing this bill we have con-
sidered several less important but
highly controversial measures. Among
them was the District of Columbia
Appropriation Bill, which was passed,
but which always engenders consider-
able discussion. Then we debated the
conference report on the Government
Pay Bill, and finally we discussed at
considerable length a proposal to al-
low WAVES to go overseas. No one
seemed to be able to explain' why we
should use the shipping that would be
necessary to set up duplicate housing,
hospital, and other facilities that this |«>
would require at a time when have <,
four or five million men in training
camps in the United States whom we
can not send abroad for lack of
shipping. This bill was finally with-
drawn by the committee that proposed
it
Throughout all of this debate there
has been the constant background of
clashing opinions in regard to the Tax
Bill. In the beginning there
to be no party alignment on
this quesfien, hot as it has gone on,
the great majority of the
' -'-it
forgiving all of the taxes that would
under the existing law be payable this
year (based on last year’s income).
In like manner, a majority, but not all
of the Democrats, have moved more
and more to the belief that our gov-
ernment simply can not give the tax
payers a whole year’s tax obligation
or even a major portion thereof with-
out seriously injuring our financial
solvency. The Democrats have al
realized the need of a pay-as-you-go
and “collection-at-the-source” pro-
gram and in a sincere effort to work
out a compromise have offered the
Republicans more liberal concessions
than we should in my opinion make.
The entire problem will be again de-
bated on the Floor of the House be-
ginning on the 3rd of May. In the
meantime, the House has recessed un
til that date. I hope to come home but
realize that I will be able to stay only
two or three days. I am sorry that I
will not be able to spend enough time
in Texas to visit over our district. As
I have often pointed out, I believe that
a Member of Congress will inevitably
make a better Representative if he is
able to visit the people he represents
at frquent intervals. I, threfore, try
to come home at every opportunity in
spite of the fact that travel has be-
come very difficult and expensive
(and a Member of Congress must pay
his own traveling expenses save for
one trip per session.)
Yours for Victory,
W. R. POAGE, Congressman,
11th Texas District.

phone in 1874, about 17,000 improve-

MORE COUN7RY BUTTER
AUSTIN, April 24.—The agricul-
tural bureau of the Chamber of Com-
merce today asked Texas senators and
Rep. Lyndon B. Johnson to seek re-
moval of point rationing of country
butter during the heavy spring pro-
duction period.
vAt a meeting of producers it was
asserted country butter was stacking
up in the refrigerators of grocery
stores because housewives spent their
ration points mostly on meat and oleo-
margarine.
