Of the rise of cooperative selling in this country
Some 100000 members of $500 consumer co-opera-
tives old business of more than S1,00G.000 day
last year. There 1000 cooperative gas and oil
filling stations in the country.
Arthur Bertraln B. Fowler says this is a revolt
against profit taking. Co-operatives sell at the
market but the profits instead of going to absentee
,<acknvidsrs, returned to consumers in ratio to
purchases. The idea long ago became entrenched in
Europe. Swedens success with it is attracting wide
attention here through the study of Marquis W.
Childs' Sweden: The Middle Way"
The cooperative movement discards political
action as a method of dealing with economic ills
and goes into business for itself. Unlike Socialism
1t is device for bringing down prices without
abolishing the profit motive. It merely shifts the
seat Of the profit motive from the seller to the
purchaser. Co-operatives hold second place in
Minnesota as statewide distributors of gas and OIL

THE most vigorous undercover
i warning against the Presi-
dents tax program so far has
come from foreign sources.
Foreign corporations with
branches in the United States are
raising a terrific din over the
plan to tax undivided profits. For
two reasons, they claim it will
bear down doubly hard on them:
l. Because the rates on foreign
firms will be higher than on do
nestle companies.
2. Because it will be necessary
to tax them directly, since the
government can not collect
Through income taxes from their
stockholders who live abroad.
AS result of these foreign
protests. the House Ways and
Means Committee, which drafted
the tax bill, spent two full days
of its executive sessions examin-
ing the problem and the claims
of the foreign companies.
This is the second time the
Roosevelt Administration has
tangled with foreign coupon
clippers.
In 1888 it cracked down on
them by putting into effect a
provision of the 1923 Revenue
Law, requiring stock brokers to
report the profits of their custom
ers. The result was the disclo-
sure that thousands of foreign
investors had made lush profits
on the Stock Exchange, but paid
no taxes on them.
The Hoover Administration had
never invoked this section of the
statute. AS a result of enforc-
ing it during the last three years,
approximately $4,000, 900 in taxes
has been collected from foreign
stock market operators.
