CHINESE c0-0PS
VITAL TO Fight
VS.. INITIATION

NEW YORK (CLNS)-C hungking'
$50 consumer cooperative stores have
been of great Importance in the fight
against initiation in the Capital of
Free China, Shu Tsao, assistant edu-
cational secretary of the Cooperative
League of China, said on his arrival
in New York after a 42-day trip from
his native country.
The growth of Co-ops in China has
been extremely rapid, Shu Tsao re-
ported. Two hundred and fifty of the
Coop stores in Chungking have been
organized in the last two years.
Nearly half of million consumers
are now members of these Chrngking
Co-ops The Co-ops handle most of
the necessities of life, including food,
fuel, clothing, stationery and home
supplies. The Co-sps are primary
distributors of such rationed com
modities as cotton cloth, salt, sugar,
fuel, flour and rice.
Imitation has speeded the growth
of Co-ops," Mr. Shu reported. with
out consumer co-operatives it would
be impossible for many salaried work
ers who are hardest hit by initiation
to get the necessities of life.
THE government is anxious for CO.
operatives to develop and Expand.
Generalissimo Chang Kai Shek has
urged the organization of co-opera-
tives to serve government employees
as we'll as other consumers"
In the city of Chungking itself, is
located the National Cooperative
Wholesale Agency which is doing
business of $10,0O0,000 a month and
operates five warehouses in Chung
king which are scattered around the
city to avoid bombardment The
wholesale also operates depots in
other parts of the country and helps
market the goods of marketing Co-ops
and industrial Co-ops as well as serv-
ing as purchasing agency for con-
sumner Co-ops. The wholesale is part
ly financed by government loans and
partly by direct investment by Co-ops
The fourth anniversary conference
of the Cooperative League of China,
held shortly before Mr.. Shu left, called
for immediate operation of the Coop
bank which cabled reports from China
indicated has begun operation in the
last few weeks. The conference also
called for expansion of field work
training and urged the government to

RESOLUTIONS

| Whereas, 1t has come to the atten-
ton of the Cascade County Trades
and Labor Assembly that letter has
recently been circulated by the Cas-
cade County Women's Republican
Club appealing for tax reform calcu-
lated to encourage production and en-
terprise instead of penalizing ability
and killing incentive, and,
Whereas, The same letter urges
that the Republican party have as
one of it's primary aims the restora-
ton of confidence in the intention of
the federal government to observe
constitutional restraints and to deal
fairly with all classes, as opposed to
favoritism toward the alleged labor
union bureaucracy" and
Whereas, We believe that the above
generalities are weasel words de-
signed to catch the voters fancy and
that in reality they mask an intent
sinister to the public welfare and con-
trary to general prosperity, we make
the following rebuttal:
We maintain that labor has, from
HIS udllOu 3 UG5luuluS, SuOulu0lSu d
disporportionate share of the tax bur-
den. With the advent of the income
tax, which to a marked extent has
corrected this injustice, has come the
loud and constant protest by those in
the high income brackets, that such a
tax penalties ability and kills incen-
tive. Where is the proof of this?
Mans incentive to make more money
remains and to say that his ability
is penalized is merely stating opposi-
ton to the income tax. Certainly his
ability is penalized = his ability to
make money. But is this academic
generality sound argument against
the principle that man should pay
taxes in proportion to his income?
While not striving to maintain that
our present tax system is perfect,
believing that those of moderate in
come still bear an unjust share of the
load we see in the agitation for tax
reform merely another attempt of big
business to get rid of more of the
burden. Efforts to impose a general
sales tax provide an example, tax
so manifestly unfair that nobody hav

has been reached by the attorney
general"
In a singing dissenting opinion by

HOOVER ECHOES

CONVENTION

CHICAGO.-The cold words of for

sighed:
And this is the man who backs
Dewey"
Here are some of the statements
Hooyer-staunch Dewey supporter-de-
livered in crises when America needed
leadership and vision.

message to Congress:
For instance, nothing can be

THIS FROM THE MAN WHO
BACKS DEWEY.
From the same speech
1--WE have had one proposal after
another which amounts to a dole from
the federal treasury The largest is
that Of unemployment insurance"
THIS FROM THE MAN WHO
BACKS DEWEY.
March z, 1891, on Hoover's veto of
Sen Robert Wagner's bill to estab-
lish a United States Employment
Service, the New York Times wrote:
President Hoover said he had
studied the bill, providing for a ma
tional system of federal and state aid
agencies, in an effort 10
find a method to make it of use in
the present employment situation
The study convinced him that it would
do more harm than good and that If
/ would prevent serious blow to
labor during this crisis, | should not
approve this bill THIS FROM THE
MAN WHO BACKS DEWEY.
Addressing the Republican National
Convention in 1910, Hoover, referring
to the New Deal, said:
Battling against all the natural
forces of recovery they have sue
ceeded in stabilizing depression"
Evidently, Hoover's desire for free
dom doesn't include truth. Statistics
show that in 1882, when President |
assumed office, the total |
national income was 40 billion. In |
1899, after seven years of the New |
Deal, it was 70.8 billions. In 1888, |
there were about 81 million workers
employed in industry and |
agriculture. In 1899 this employment
mad risen to As million. These are
he facts which refute the words Of |
Hoover - THE MAN WHO BACKS
DEWEY.
In the same 1910 speech Hoover de-
handed the retention of high protec-
i've tarriffs-an integral part of the
solationist spirit which still peryades
he Republican party. He said:
"And after the war, then what? Our
oreign trade will meet an impover

FARMERS MUST COLLECT
RATION POINTS

The Office of Price Administration
and War Food Administration joined
today in a reminder to farmers that
points must be collected for meats
subject to rationing, if such meat,
killed on the farm, is sold.
William A. Allen, district super
visor, office of distribution, said that
the recent removal of VIA restric-
tions on the farm slaughter of meat
applied only to the issuance of per-
mits, but apparently has been misin-
terpreted in some quarters so that
farmers believed it no longer neces-
sary to collect ration points.
The return of lamb and mutton to
the ration list this month, and the
increase in points for some cuts of
beef, warrant the special attention of
farmers who kill livestock for off-the-
farm sale, said the OPA
