UPHOLDS COOP. LAW

Two opinions of unusual moment
to cooperative associations operating
under the Minnesota Cooperative
Marketing Act of 1923, were recent
ly given by the office of the attorney
general of the State.
One of these concerns the consti-
tutionality of sections II and 10,
chapter 264 of the Act, which pro-
alive association and their injunc-
tons against members who violate
their contracts. The other covers
sections 26 and 81. of the Act which
privided for an action for damages
and for an injunction against a
third party, who induces or en-
courages member Of cooperative
association to break his marketing
contract, or 'who maliciously and
knowingly spreads false reports about
the management" of such an asso-
citation. The constitutionality of the
four sections of the Act, as outlined,
is upheld by the attorney general
office.
The opinions in question were writ
ten by Victor E. Anderson, assistant
attorney general, in response to a
request from A. A. McPheeters,
manager of the Minnesota Coopera-
tive Egg and Poultry Exchange. In
giving his opinion on sections II and
18 of the Act, Mr.. Anderson said:
Section II providing for exclusive
marketing contracts between cooper
alive associations and their members
over a period of years, has been be-
fore the courts more often than any
other portion of the Act, which is to
be expected. And it is the quite uni
form holding of the courts that such
contracts are valid. 1t is said that
such contracts do not unduly restrain
trade but are merely for the purpose
OF securing a fair and reasonable
price for the products sold and are
not to be condemned when they are
not in fact inimical to the public well
fare. After reciting number of
opinions by the courts in various
parts of the country upholding sec
tons II and 10, Mr.. Anderson con-
cludes:
Gin view, therefore, of the cases
herein set forth, it would appear that
sections II and 18 are enforceable -
With regard to sections 26 and 27
Mr.. Anderson said: "Sections 26
and n have seldom been before the
courts SO that their validity might be
passed upon. 1t is our opinion,
nevertheless, that they are valid and
enforceable" To bear out this con-
ciuslon he cites number of court de-
clslons which have to do with various,
phases of these sections.
Commenting on the opinion of the
attorney generals office, Mr.. Nc
Pheeters in a statement to the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation said
We sought the opinion of the at
torney generals office on the points
In question on behalf of some Of our
members who had been advised that
the cooperative marketing law was
not constitutional /"

Plan Big Fight to Re-
duce Automobile Taxes
Large Cities to Battle Rest of State
for Lower Car Levy to Offset
Gasoline Tax

Although all factions are agreed
that any taxes on gasoline should &c
into good roads and that Amendment
No. l to that end will be adopted by
deluge Of eyes" votes on pink bal
lots next Tuesday, motor vehicle
and gas tax war between the three
largest cities and the remainder Of
the state in the next legislature al
ready is forecast, according to reports
this week.
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth
car owners, paying a third of the
motor vehicle taxes and likely to pay
like percentage of any gasoline
taxes, will fight to cut both levies un.
til part of the funds are expended or
streets in those cities. All the money
is now used on country roads ano
small city and village streets.
Developments came fast. Fist q
prediction that Minnesota farmers
will vote almost solidly in favor OF
Amendment No. 1 mas made by j
F. Reed, president of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation. A similar
prophesy that car and truck owners
will unite also in voting eyes" to
put the gasoline taxes on roads was
made by E.. 7. Winship, president OF
the Minnesota State Automobile as
ISOLATION.
Next came a report of the move
ment in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
with Duluth to be taken in later, to
secure the biggest possible reduction
of motor vehicle taxes when the gas
oline tax is put into effect.
"The proposed 2-cent gasoline tax
will be satisfactory to us if Amend
ment No. is passed to put it on the
roads and there is a good reduction
in the present car tax prominent
Minneapolis automobile man is quot
ed as saying. "But we shall fight any
car tax rate over per cent because
we believe the present SIG average
should be cut to $40 or lower. Then
the gasoline tax will make up the diff
ference. The three big cities are
paying third of the cost of main
country road improvement and up
keep but don't want to go too fast
until some of the money can be
turned over for work on our city
streets
The Minneapolis man is reported to
have admitted that better roads are
paying for themselves in reductions
of rig costs for users, also that city
people drive largest mileages on coun-
try roads, but insisted that until the
three big cities are given share of
the proceeds for street purposes they
will fight to keep taxes on their ma
chimes down to the minimum.
In spite of this stand, however,
they will join with the farmers and
small town people to adopt Amend
ment No. 1, he said, because there
is no argument against the proposal
to put both motor vehicle and gaso-
line taxes on roads.

Exchange Spuds Will Be
Held In Minnesota Storage
Program Part of Orderly Marketing
Plan-Membership Has Passed
the 1880 Mark

Potatoes delivered by members of
the Minnesota Potato Growers Ex-
change are going into storage just
as fast as possible, according to s.
E. Olson of Ada, a member of the
executive board.
s'The Exchange has negotiated for
terminal storage space in which s.
900 cars can be held, in addition to
the room it has at its shipping point
and concentration houses" said Mr..
Olson. We are prepared to hold the
bulk of our deliveries this fall in or
der to give prices a chance to re-
cover. In addition to this, thous-
ands of our members are helping us
in our orderly marketing plan by
storing potatoes in their own root
house.
"The extent to which the market
has fallen is indicated by the fact
that non-members are selling pota-
toes for as low as IL cents bushel
and we have one report of growers
being paid cents. The more pota-
toes we are able to hold off the pres
ent market the better it will be for
our membership, as well as the in
dustry as a whole"
The Exchange is being Loyalty sup
ported by practically the entire mem
bership, according to S. G. Robinow,
general manager. Thus far, he has
received but 20 reports of contract
violations and in only few of these
instances is there evidence which
warrants steps toward court action.
The association membership is
growing at the rate of so new con-
tract signers day. Lase week, the
3,350th agreement was registered !.
Among the new members are some of
the largest growers in the state, who
are coming into the association be-
cause they realize that its orderly
marketing plan offers them their
only chance Of obtaining fair prices.
