farm BUREAU
OPPOSED TO
SALARY LIMIT

O'Neal-Smith forces in control of
the Farm Bureau are now openly
proclaiming their opposition to the
$4,000 net salary limitation, which
has been voted down by the house.
In keeping with the stand taken by
the Acknowledgements group at the
helm of the National Association of
Manufacturers. they would have the
farmers believe that the $4,000 limit
is a communist plot of some sort.
Despite the ballyhoo about. higher
farm prices, it has long been clear
that the main objective of the farm"
lobby is to undermine the stabiliza-
ton program, particularly the $4,000
ceiling.
The Farm Bureau Official News
Letter (February 23rd) could not hide
its joy as congress began its work of
wrecking the $4,000 ceiling; at one
point states:
"A little earlier the house ways
and means committee knocked out
the Presidents executive order
limiting salaries to $4,000 after
taxes, much to the chagrin of the
Communist Party, the Clio and the
Farmers Union which had advo-
Gated this Imitation"
To date the cost of the war is being
borne mainly by those least able to
pay. It is unfortunate that the lead
ers of the Farm Bureau not only en-
dorsed the inequitable Victory tax
and the lop-sided AZ income tax but
also fight against the $4,000 limit

CONSUMERS COOP
ASSOCIATION
BUYS SAWMILL
By JAMES CUMMINS, Editor,
The Cooperative Consumer

N. KANSAS CITY, Mo.-A lumbe
mill in the heart of the red and yellow
fir country, so miles west of Eugene
| Oregon, and 40 miles inland from the
Pacific ocean, has just been purchased
| by Consumers Cooperative Associa
ton, with headquarters here, it is an
nounced by Howard A. Cowden, presi
dent. 1t is the second lumber mil
| for the wholesale, the first one having
been purchased last fall at Hill City
S. Dakota.
Located near Swisshome, at the
summit of the Coast Range noun
tains, the mill will turn out around
Ia. 900 900 feet of lumber a year. II
was purchased from Roy Swenson
who built it in 1884. 1t is ITS miles
from Portland on branch of the
Southern Pacific railroad.
Some S0,00O,000 feet of timber was
purchased from Swenson at the same
time, or enough to keep the mill run
ming at capacity for five or six years
The Siuslaw national forest adjoins
the timber purchased by the coop
erative Some 80 men are employed
the year round.
About 500 of the mills output is
going to the federal government. I'm
til the war ends, or until government
demand for lumber declines, only 209o
of the output will be left for coop
erative yards that are members or
patrons of the wholesale. There are
between $50 and 300 such lumber
co-ops in the nine-state area served
by CCA
"These two mills, with perhaps a
pine mill, single mill and one or
more cement mills later on, will give
co-operatives control OF a fairly com
plete building supply department, tap
ping new sources of savings for coop
yards and placing them in better posi-
ton to meet the competition of line
yards after the war;" Mr. Cowden
said.
Goa began business as a petroleum
wholesale in 1929, gradually branch
ing into other commodities. Last
year it did nearly $15,000,OOO worth of
business with its 600 member associa-
lions in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado
Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Ne
braska, Iowa and Missouri In addi-
ton to two lumber mills, two food
canneries and two petroleum refin-
cries, GOA will lease the 100000
gallon grain alcohol plant which the
federal government will build at Keo-
kuk, Iowa.

HAvRE AIR
FIELD TO BE
COMPLETED

WASHINGTON - Sen James E
Murray announced that the Havre
airport will be completed at an early
date as the result of an agreement be
tween the Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration and the Federal Work Agency
The work consists of paving runways
hard-surfacing roads and approaches
and grading and dwelling of the field
Administrator Charles /. Stanton
of the CAA today informed me that
my petition urging the completion OF
the Havre airport has been favorably
acted upon" Senator Murray said. 81
am very glad that the government has
seen fit to complete this most import
ant airport as it undoubtedly will be
of great commercial and strategic
value to Havre and northern Montana.
I'm taking this up with Administra-
tor Stanton l pointed out that the
great air base at Great Falls with
smaller bases at Shelby and Lewis
town should have the Havre airport
to complete the triangle, both as an
emergency landing field for military
planes and for its commercial use on
the route to Alaska. Mr.. Stanton ad-
yised me today that the CAA has
reached an agreement with the Work
Projects Administration to complete
this work just as soon as possible and
negotiations are now in progress to
determine whether existing contracts
will be completed under supervision
of the CAA or whether new contracts
will be let. l was assured that the
work will be finished this coming
summer"
Work on the Havre airport stopped
last fall and its completion as a WPA
project was prevented by the recent
order liquidating WPA,

MORE SAVINGS In
PRODUCTION THAN
I'm WH0LESALING

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The Indiana
Farm Bureau Cooperative Association
again set new records with a con
stantly increasing volume of business
when total sales for 1912 were re
ported to be $11,527,O79. Net savings
of the coop regional association
amounted to almost 100000 and net
worth climbed to new high of al.
most $3,0O0,OOO.
/. H. Hull, manager, declared in
his annual report that two-thirds OF
the net savings of the cooperative
association were the result of produc-
ton activities carried on by the state
wide cooperative association. In
cluded in the many productive enter
prises owned by the Indiana co-ops
are an oil refinery, several chick
hatcheries, part interest in a milking
machine plant and tractor factory, a
cooperative saw mill, oil well and
printing plant, grain terminal eleva-
tor, serum factory, a bank and several
fertilizer factories.
Pointing to the dangers of initiation,
/. Fl. Hull declared, eff the co-opera-
tive movement were developed on a
sufficiently broad scale, it would be
entirely unnecessary to have govern
ment bureaucratically controlled price
ceilings. Buying co-operatives auto
matically create their own price cell
ings," Mr.. Hull pointed out 1--WE
have an opportunity to integrate and
expand our cooperative businesses
such as we have never had before.

SWEDISH COOP
DEVELOPS new
Material
Swedish Co-ops Producing
Rubber From Wood AS Step
To Self-Sufficiency; Will
Make Process Available
To All.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden.-The SWed-
ish Cooperative Union and Whole So
ciety, Ko-operativa Forbundet (kF)
in pursuit of its policy of assisting
the effort of Swedish economy to Sc
cure independence and self-sufficiency,
has taken another step forward. BY
starting the production of synthetic
rubber entirely out of Swedish raw
materials, mainly wood products, at
it's rubber works at Gislaved, it has
opened up the possibility of over-com-
ing one of the most serious raw ma
terial shortages from which the coun-
try's industry is suffering at present.
The new product, which is named
"Telax," can be vulcanized and is not
inferior in quality to ordinary rubber,
according to the Review of Information
al Cooperation. 1t stood the test as
raw material for the manufacture of
bicycle tires, shoe heels and plastic
products, but it is not durable enough
to be used for motor tires, the manu-
facture of which requires rubber of
very high quality 1t can, however,
be expected that the new product is
still capable of improvement and re-
search work with a view of improv-
ing it continues.
The inventor of the new process,
Dr.. Costa Ehrensvard, young Swed-
ish scientist working at the Depart
ment for Physiological Chemistry of
the Wenner-Grens Institute at Stock
holm, approached Albin Johansson,
general manager of KF, in June, 1912,
and from that time he developed his
invention, on which he had already
worked for some months, in close CO.
operation with KF. AS the laboratory
of the Institute did not possess the
facilities to conduct experiments on
the large scale necessary in order to
find out whether manufacture on
commercial basis would be possible,
the cooperative rubber factory at
Gislaved was made available for the
continuation and expansion of the ex-
periments. In addition, KF has sup
piled the capital needed for the estab-
lishment of a new department for
technical chemistry at the Wenner-
Grens Institute, and has thus placed
the research work of the Institute on
a broader basis.
Ko-operativa Forbundet is planning
to build a new factory for the produc-
ton of "Telax" and has announced
that it has no intention of monopoliz-
ing the new product for the co-opera-
tive movement but is prepared to
supply all industries producing rubber
goods This is yet another instance
in which the national economy as a
whole will have the benefit of KF's
pioneering into new field of pro-
duction.
