DOMESTIC ALLOTMENT BILL
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The House Thursday passed the domestic allotment farm relief plan, hailed by its backers as the dawn of a new day for agriculture. The vote was 203 to 150. One of the primary planks in President-elect Roosevelt's economic program, the measure was driven through the House under the whip of Democratic leadership. The bill now goes to the Senate, where its fate is doubtful. It provides a bounty for all farmers who will voluntarily reduce production on wheat, cotton and tobacco. The measure proposes to raise this amount of money by taxing processors, millers, canners and packers.
