WHAT COOPERATION
DOES NOT MEAN

One of the most successiui
farm cooperative groups IN the
country is the dairymens League
Coonerative Association, Inc. Ii
was a pioneer in the eastern dairy
field and its leadership has been
unchallenged
It's president is Fred H. Sex
auer, who has had many years ol
experience with cooperative prop
lens. and who has worked on DE-
half of the farmer with govern
ment officials, as well as with
uiddlemen and distributors In
recent address Mr.. Sexauer spoke
some truths that should be KEPT
in mind by cooperatises and pro
ducers elsewhere.
He said: The question often
asked is: Could not cooperation
bstween governmental regulatory
bodies and cooderative organiza-
tjous do more than either alone?'
7 answer. yes. but only if and
when governmental bodies want
cooperation from and want to CO.
operate with associations like the
Dairymen's League.
Cooperation does not consist
of government officials or employ
es calling cooperatives dead cats
and advising them to dissolve to
make way for bureaucrats. Co.

tive legislation, sponsored f1y con
troll boards for the embarrassment
and harassment of cooperativeS tt
prevent them from protecting
members interests. We have
learned that cooperation does no
mean being worked for the gooC
of all others.
Government should enconrag,
the cooperative movement in al
reasonable ways. But if the co
ops ever come under the contro
of bureaucrats the movement, s.
far as real aid to the farmer is con
cerned. will be dead as Moses.

came good politics 10 agitate
for a return to the government OF
the land grants given to the plo-
neer railroads in Southern Oregon
counties, on the ground that the
railroads had not sold the land
as originally contemplated.
The fact that most of the land
consisted of mountains and that
there were probably no buyers,
seemed to have little cOnsidera-
ton And the fact that the
railroads had been paying heavy
taxes on the land for fifty years
seemed to be not worth mention
ing. So the Federal government
.voked the grant and took back
the title.
And then came the jolt. Coun-
ties which had collected nearly
half million a year in taxes from
the railroads, found themselves
Without these sadly needed re-
ceipts.
Such a howl went up that an
Oregon senator finally got an ap-
oropriation of So, 100000 to repay
the counties for taxes lost De
tween 1916 and 1926. After 1926
the controIler-general held that
oayments could come only from
revenue collected from the sale
of land grant timber, and this mas
made up only about half the sums

 HAMPSON ESTATE
Will Pay State of COnnec' ticut $2,2OO on Tax
 Claim of $3,6OO

A compromise whereby the estate of the late R. William Hampson will pay the State of Connecticut the sum of $2,200 on e tax claim of $3,600 was approved by Judge Dennis J. Slavin after hearing in probate court this morning. The agreement brought to an end dis pute which had been underway for months, with the state tax commits sioner having been decided against when he took the case to superior court. Originally, Judge Slavin or dered the executor of the estate, the Citizens and Manufacturers Nation al Bank, to pay the state tax com missioner the sum of $l,600 on the claim of $3,600. The tax commits sioner took the case to superior court. claiming that the estate should pay the largest amount pos- sible.
 At the superior court hearing, the right of Judge Slavin to rule on how much the estate should pay on the bill was upheld. The states contention that the estate should be ordered to pay the largest amount possible. with the tax com missioner returning any sum left over. was rejected. This mornings s hearing resulted in the compromise agreement in which the state tax commissioners agreed to accept the S2.2O0 figure.
