IS Per Cent of People Want
Price Control

Don't let those full page ads of the
National Association of Manufacturers
and similar front" organizations for
big industry pull the wool over your
eyes on this matter of price control.
Recent Gallup polls and radio sur
veys show that the American public,
irrespective of political affiliation, is
overwhelmingly behind the OPA. Lat
est poll was conducted by Alex Drier,
noted radio commentator who recently
asked his listeners to write him wheth-
er or not they favored the continuation
of price control. Even though only a
minute was devoted to the appeal,
thousands of replies poured into the
originating station in Chicago. Net
work officials were astounded at the
avalanche of replies and asked if
something was being given away. Thir-
ty-two states were reported in the
poll. The replies indicated that IS per
cent were for firm continuation of
price control; II per cent would abol-
ish it; and 3 per cent believed it
should be modified

Whereas: The way that we look at
this picture as a whole Is that the
sugar trust is using the farmers as a
tool and dupe to put this state in
the same boat as the Southern cotton
states, and
Whereas: The National Association
of Manufacturers, which in turn is
the mouthpiece of the sugar trust, is
forever preaching ''free enterprise"
day in and day out, so our advice to
the beet sugar farmers is to listen
to their masters voice, and plant some
other crop so that they will not have
to depend on cheap labor and gov
eminent handouts to make living,
NOW
Therefore Be 1t Resolved: That we.
the Anaconda Mill & Smeltermens'
Union, go on record that we are OPP
posed to war prisoners or any foreign
cheap labor being sent into this state
for the sole benefit and profit of the
sugar trust, and
Be 1t Further Resolved: That we as
an organization of industrial workers
shall be willing and anxious to cooper
ate with the farmers of the state to
help build the farming industry of this
state on a firm foundation so that
the farmer can stand on his own feet
and not be stooge for the sugar trust
or any other Wall Street outfit, and

taxes. So do the large regional co-operatives.
They pay corporation, property, real estate
and every other important tax that any privately
owned corporation pays.
Your Co-ops cannot pay an income tax for
one very simple reason. The simple reason is
that the savings do not belong to the Coop.
They belong to its members The savings go
back to the members
Any corporation private company can
do the same. If it distributes its net earnings
among its customers, it need not pay single
cent in income taxes on the amounts that it dis
tributes.
There's reason for this. These savings
Cooperative makes are not net income. They
actually are reduction in the cost of service
or in the cost of goods to the members Of
Cooperative.

Co-ops Are Paying Taxes, Too!

Millions of Americans are now paying their
income taxes
Undoubtedly you are one of them.
Maybe you thought your tax was pretty
stiff. And you had to dig deep down into your
pockets to pay.
But you know that it takes money, and lots
of it, to win war. That's why you were more
than glad to do your part. You want everybody
else to do the same.
Then maybe you heard somebody whisper
that Co-ops do not pay taxes. That started you
to wondering So you want to know what the
facts are.
Here is the truth about Co-ops and taxes:
Every Cooperative pays taxes. 1t doesn't
matter whether it is local Coop grain elevator,
or creamery or an oil station. They all pay

biggest advantage. Belineck hit
the hoop for 20 tallies. Ice was
high for Hardin with 10. Jones

Krone were responsible for four
each.
