I have continuously been voting for bounties for agriculture and farming interests in our country. Year in and year out we have been voting for indirect subsidies to the bankers of this country through the operation of the Federal Reserve banking system. For the past decade we have given to labor and to the American Federation of Labor. indirectly. subsidies through restricted immigration so they would not have to compete with cheap foreign labor that is constantly seeking admission into our country. Where is there a Member in this House who comes from the South. the Middle West. the Far West. the Northwest. who has not had his particular State enriched through bounties that have been voted in the form of subsidies for flood controlMuscle Shoals. Boulder Dam--and countless other measures too numerous to mention.
