Secretary Anderson)

Some $500 farmer associations are
engaged primarily in marketing farm
products. They report 2,75O,O00 mem
bers.
Twenty-seven hundred associations,
with 100000 farmer members, are
engaged in purchasing farm supplies.
Their volume of business runs over a
billion dollars a year.
Four thousand mutual irrigation
companies serve about 100000 farms.
Eight hundred rural electric coop
eratives provide service for more than
million farms.
Fourteen hundred livestock improve
ment associations carry on programs
to improve the productivity and quail
ity of the products of our beef cattle,
dairy COWS, swine, poultry, and other
farm animals.
One thousand seven hundred Ma
tional Loan Associations are providing
farm mortgage loans on a co-opera-
tive basis to 100000 members Five
hundred and thirteen Production Cred
it Associations are providing 10000
members with short term seasonal
credit.
In addition, there are many thous-
ands of small co-operatives, some Of
ficially organized as legal entities, and
other operating simply by verbal
agreements between farmers in a COM
munity, which provide such services
as machinery pools, bull clubs, truck
ing routes farm machinery repair
centers, and so on

WHEN WE HAVE AN MVA
BY GEORGE SIDERIUS,
president Flathead Farmers Union.)

One of the most important issues
before the six million-odd people Of
the Missouri River Basin today is
postwar economic and political devel
opment How this development, and
for whom, it is to be done has caused
this issue to become controversial
question There has arisen two
schools of thought; one, that of cor
porate interests, who still believe in
piece-meal, partial development, by
means of out-moded bureaus, for the
benefit of a favored few and the ex
ploitation of the masses of the com
mon people. The other that of the
common people, who believe in uni
fled, overall development based on
democratic principles, by new, modern
and tried methods, namely Valley Au-
thorities.
In my status as small farm oper-
ator l favor the latter. / can only
conceive of three reasons why there
are opponents to a Missouri Valley
Authority First, certain selfish in
terests do not want to see the masses
gain economic and political freedom;
second, some are led by gross misrep-
resentation of fact Third, many are
not we'll enough informed of what a
Missouri Valley Authority means to
the people of the valley in economic
and political betterment.
One argument of the opponents to
this modern means of resource-devel-
opment is that the three-man board Of
an MVA appointed by the president,
confirmed by congress, will become
all-powerful dictators. They seem to
forget that present agencies are un-
der the jurisdiction of a single depart
ment head appointed by the same pro-
cedure.
I was fortunate enough to represent
the Flathead County Educational and
Cooperative Union at the annual Mon
tana reclamation association conven-
ton on December 10, and II of 1945.
At that convention | already noticed
the affects of an MVA on resource
development. First the old agencies
in whose hands resource development
was to take place woke up to the fact
that such development must take
place through an overall, unified,
basin-wide plan. They have gone so
far as to set up an inter-agency COM
mittee for the purpose of keeping the
agencies working together. The third
effect I noticed was that the Montana
reclamation association went on rec
ord and passed a resolution that it
would favor adherence to the 160-acre
limitation clause of the reclamation
act The Montana delegation to the
national reclamation meet in Denver
also went on record as opposed to the
repeal Of the limitation clause. The
reason for this was: Quoting from
Mr. Brickers report given in the blue
room of the Florence Hotel of Mis-
soula, Montana on the morning of De-
cember II, 1915. "The Montana dele
cation met in session prior to the vot-
ing on resolutions and decided to OPP |
pose the resolution asking for repeal
of the 160-acre limitation clause of
the reclamation act, not because they
were opposed to the resolution but be-
cause they were afraid it would give

power, obtaining carlot rates and mel
chandise of high quality beyond th
ability of the individual retailer.
"There are many so-called mutua
drug stores, which are owned by co
operating Independent druggists who
have formed organizations to operate
warehouses and to exercise definite
standards in buying. We don't ordi
narily think of it as such, but one OF
the most extensive of our news-gather.
ing agencies, the Associated Press, is
nothing more nor less than a co-opera-
tive of newspapers, bringing to its
members news that no individual pub.
lication could gather by it's own eff
forts"
Secretary Anderson declared that
"Co-operatives are the very essence
of free enterprise, in that they actu-
ally represent groups of farmers act
ing together for the purpose of carry
ing on their individual free enterprises
more efficiently for individual profit.
Nothing could be more American in
its basic spirit and purpose than that.
"It is this basic objective of farm
co-operatives that has caused congress
and the courts to recognize generally
and in specific legislation, and to af-
firm repeatedly, the right of farmers
to organize co-operatives and the pub
lie welfare obligations of co-opera-
tives.
"Shorn of all technicalities, it is this
basic purpose that frees co-operatives
from income taxes, if they return to
memebrs and patrons the savings they
may be able to make in transaction of
business for their members and pa
irons.
obviously, such returns are part
of the income of the individual enter
priser-the farmer-and as such are
subject to taxes as a part of his in
come. 1t should be made clear that
the afrmer in this respect, is in ex-
actly the same position as the indie
pendent business man or partner; he
pays taxes on his income, including
any savings he receives through CO.
operative action.
ALSO, it should be made entirely
clear that co-operatives are not en-
tirely free from taxation-that, while
they may not pay income taxes, they
do pay their share of real estate, so
cial security and other taxes, just as
do most businesses which are operated
for profit"
Agriculture, Secretary Anderson sug-
gested, needs to do a more aggressive
job of informing the public of the
many improvements and benefits that
have come to consumers through the
farmers co-operatives. 1t is, he de-
clared "a dramatic story" Looking
to the future, he asserted that among
the greatest challenges is the need for
many new types of cooperative serv-
ice to keep the farmer up with the
times and to aid him in maintaining |
his independent position. Foreseeable
developments, he commented promise
us most exciting decade ahead"

COOP REFUNDS
Benefit entire
community

GLENCOE, Mimi (NAC)-Convinc-
ing proof that patronage refunds dis
bursed by co-operatives to their mem
bers are poured back into commun-
ity to bring prosperity to every busi-
nessman, has been recently provided
by the Glencoe Coop Oil Co., of this
city
Examing refund checks which had
been cashed and returned from the
clearing house, Manager Alvin Jen-
neke, of the oil coop, found that they
bore endorsement of twenty-five diff
ferent types of businesses in Glencoe.
Even competing oil stations had
cashed the savings checks, the survey
revealed, the full list being as follows:
Grocery, meat, hardware, clothing,
machine shop, telephone, oil stations,
lumber, coal, drug, soft drink, beer,
insurance, hospital, liquor store, dry
goods, produce, farm implements, auto
supply, plumbing, heating, elevator,
restaurant, jewelry, tile factory, truck
er, county treasurer, and light plant
This list, Jenneke stated, represents
practically all the main types of busi-
ness in Glencoe.
Incidentally, Midland Co-operator's
editor, in reporting the findings, called
attention to the fact that the proprie-
tor of one of Glencoe's dry goods
stores is member of the NTEA-spon-
sored Minnesota Small Business and
Employees Committee which is fight
ing farmer co-operatives, tooth and
nail, on the taxation issue. "And he
is also coop stockholder," this
publication of Midland Cooperative
adds.

DIVERSIONS are most properly ap-
piled to ease and relieve those who
are oppressed by being too much en-
ployed. Those that are idle have no
need of them, and yet they above all
others give themselves up to them.
To unbend our thoughts when they
are too much stretched by our cares
is not more natural than it is neces-
sary; but to turn our whole life into
a holiday is not only ridiculous, but
destroys pleasure instead of increas-
ing it-Saville

POLIO VICTIM
REHABILITATED

TUSKEGEE, Jan. 2 (ANP)-
Albert Carter, a polio patient who
has been rehabilitated at the infan-
tile paralysis unit here, will open
Photographic studio in his home
town, Augusta, Ga. He is a good ex-
ample Of a patient who, through
care, treatment, and training, has
passed from the ranks of the help
less to self-supporting citizen.
Carter, who is now %, contracted
infantile paralysis at the age Of nine
months. AS a child it was a long time
before he was able to get about even
with the aid of crutches. Being an
invalid seriously interrupted his
schooling which began at the age
of 10.
Carter states that at an early age
he had been offered an operation,
but had never had sufficient conf
dence until he came to the John w.
Chenault, orthopedic surgeon and
director Of the unit, who performed
two operations during his two-year
stay in the hospital. This enabled
him to walk freely with the use of
cane.

tionalities and creeds, the children
are quick to follow" he pointed out.
"The trouble does not lie with the
children in the schools. It lies in the
community itself and it is the COM
munity that needs education, not
the children"
Racial discrimination cannot be
avoided by making Negro children
an object of special attention, he
advised. He cited an example of a
well meaning teacher, who made the
blunder.
Children" she said, 1--WE are 60
ing to have a new pupil. l want you
to be very kind to him and help him
to feel comfortable among us. He is
a colored boy, you see, so you must
be very kind and polite to him.
Her remaks only created extraor-
dinary curiosity. The colored boy
soon felt 'full weight of 40 child
ish personalities centered upon him
and could not stand the attention he
got. We put him in another class,
said nothing about him, and he was
accepted as a matter of course"
The same idea holds for children
of different nationalities and
creeds, he said. The less said the
better. Why should anybody point
out child because he belongs to a
certain church, certain nationali-
ty? he asked. There should be no
speech making in school about such
things, he declared, since the pub
lie school is for all children.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2 (ANP)-Ra-

in the classroom by not making the

That is the advice to teachers
from Angelo Patri, nationally

er, who declares that children are
born democrats. If allowed to ham
die their own problem in the class
room and school life, there would be
no emphasis on race, he said. Chill
