Congressional Pay
Increase Discussed
March 4, 1955
Dear Friend?:
Yesterday the House passed t
bill which, if approved by the Sen
ate, will allow farmers to get soil
conservation assistance regardless
of whether they exceed their allot-
ment of any controlled crop or not.
Actually it is the penalty (generally
50% of the price) which prevents
intentional overplanting. This is
not repealed, but we felt that we
should encourage conservation of
i the soil, regardless of who happens
I to own it at the moment.
| It will make little'difference to ;
! cotton growers. No one deliberate-1 |
ly overplants his cotton acreage be ( '
poor man should have the same
opportunity to serve his people as
a etch man, and no representative
should have to depend on outside
help—from special business inter-
ests, from labor organizations, from
pressure groups, or even from a
political party. Qf course, the same
thing applies to Judges. The in-
crease for both Judges and Mem-
bers of Congress will cost each
citizen approximately three cents
per year I trust it will prove a
good investment.
Your friend,
W. R Poage, Congressman
