WE READ CONSIDERABLE about co-ops today
They are looming larger i'll the field OF business
They have grown rapidly because. on the theory
that they were non-proft organizations. they hav"
been given many tax exemptions and relief from
countless other Legislative restrictions which are
htaped upon highly taxed business endeavors.
There is no reason why individuals should not
buy and sell commodities at profit if they 50
desire. There is reason why they should not
band together in cooperative organizations TO i'm
prove marketing conditions of members and try
to themselves better prices so long as they
subject to laws applying other business.
But co-ops today in the category with
the gigantic taX-eXempt Federal power systems Both
do business running into millions and millions of
dollars annually. Both granted tax exemptions
and public subsidies in many forms. Both tend to
kill private tax-payng business which supports GOV
eminent
No business in the United States can object to
legitimate competition. But every business in the
United States which pays taxes to maintain govern
ment, should protest against every form of tax
subsidized competition. Every government power
plant and every coop that tax exempt enjoys all
the privileges and advantages of good roads schools
forded by Army and Navy, and every other ad-
vantage of government which business and individ-
uals taxed to provide.
1t is unthinkable that Congress and state legis-
latures will much longer tolerate the taX-exrInpt
Oafer in midst. Ii they do. other business should
study ways and means to change its methods OF
operation that it will come within the taX-eXempt
privileges. Then. who would support government.
Only the individual whose income taxes would be
raised higher and higher government lost its reve
nue. from tax-eXempt business.

partisan minority stood steadtast in opposition. We
cannot believe that all of their opposition against

was too great. Certainly those members of the Sen

themselves to suspicion. however innocent their in
