the farm Co-operatives. Co-ops cam
exist very long in country in which
there are no labor organizations. Bu
today Big Business would like to gel
farmer help in their anti-labor fight
and so they only talk in whispers oil
chow the time is coming when the
Co-operatives will get their teeth
knocked in"
But farmers don't swallow this anti
labor propaganda, at least many OF
them don't. Ten farmers in Power
Montana just donated a car of wheat
to the Auto Workers of Detroit and
cases of eggs were distributed to the
strikers by farmers in New Jersey
They have passed resolutions in full
support of labor's demand for a 80
per cent increase in wage rates and
the 65-cent minimum wage law. They
stand for full employment.
In return labor is supporting the
proposition of full farm production as
world necessity. Labor wants to see
the farmers receive full parity prices,
not just limited period, but all the
time. Both labor and the farmers want
a standard of living comparable to our
great ability as a nation to produce.
We Are Natural Allies
Not only are the farmers natural
economic allies of labor but they are
and should be natural political allies
We should get together and agree
upon candidates for the legislature
and for congress who represent our
Independently of political
parties we should sit down and draft
a political program on which we can
both agree and insist that men are put
into the law-making bodies that will
do our bidding.
Right now Big Business has pulled
from its bag of tricks the Infamous
Case bill introduced into congress by
Case of South Dakota. Case comes
from a district dominated by the rich
est gold mine in the world, the Hearst
owned Homestake in the Black Hills
If this bill is enacted into law our
trade unions and farm Co-operatives
will receive crushing blow. 1t must
be defeated at all costs. You can help
labor and yourself too by having your
pass a resolution against
the Case bill and yourself writing a
letter to your senators.
Fellow Americans from the farms,
we are facing a serious situation. In
deed we are at the cross roads. One
Is the path of low wages and low farm |
prices, unemployment, depression and
war. The other leads to high wages,
good farm prices, high living STAN
dards, prosperity and peace. Only by
unity of the common people who do
he useful work of the country, labor
and the farmers, can we take the
light road. Let us take it together

by announcement Of restoration OF
wartime controls over custom slaugh-
tering operations.
The order, effective April first, Is
directed toward protection of those
legitimate operators who have lost
by the operation of the blackmarket in
the beef business because they cannot
buy more cattle against prevailing
prices and still stay in compliance
with OPA regulations.
The new order prohibits anyone
from selling in any form, or at any
distribution level beef or veal from
cattle custom slaughtered" except
under certain conditions, including
one that the slaughterer must have
had cattle slaughtered at the same
plant before a similar wartime regula-
ton was revoked last December 20,
and also that the previous slaughter
ing had been done under quota set
up by the previous order which was
known as Control Order No. 1.
The new regulation also prohibits
Il SlduSul6IeI liOll pCiiOi iiiii6 tiiio
service for the livestock owner unless
he performed similar service under
the previous order for the same owner
while the previous order was in eff
feet, and the customer is not selling
the meat in any form.
The order is directed to all custom
whether federally in
spected or not.
Price of Shingles Boosted
An increase of 81 cents per square
in ceilings for mill sales of Western
softwood shingles in all standard
grades, is announced by OPA. The
new action increases the ceiling prices
of No. 1 grade of Western softwood
shingles, 16 inches in length, the most
popular size single on the market, to
S. per square. Consumers will pay
the higher prices, as several previous
absorptions of increases by the mills
have generally reduced distributors
margins.

Weanons of Economic savaaery

Weapons of Economic Savagery
Power politics (the spearhead of
economic monopoly, spheres of influ-
ence, favored nations agreements, bal
ance of power coalitions are the weap-
ons of economic savagery. They may
have been necessary in more primitive
days but cannot exist in world trans
formed by science and technology, in
world where international commerce
drops from the skies and men of all
nations mingle daily, thanks, largely,
to modern wars. Modern wars have
brought men, willy-nilly, from the des.
erts. the jungles and the backward
countries to the forward" countries
and taught them the arts (and saw
ageries) of mechanical war, and Incl
dentally the wonders of mechanical
progress. Such men will never return
to the forked-stick pillow, the hand-flail
thresher and the mortar and pestle
mill.
The world must be organized eco
nomically. Such organization must
function to serve the needs of all, not
merely to crafty the gormandish greed
of the few. 1t must be organized from
the bottom up, not merely at the top,
of the top and for the top. Any amount
of good intentions" without this will
be mere wishful thinking.

Social VS.. Economic Equality
The purely social relations of the
individual is a personal matter. So
cial equality is one thing; economic
equality is quite another. Economic
equality (not freedom) must be shared
by all if order is to come out of the
present world chaos. No nation must

status, it's culture or its form of gov
The human races have arrived, or

ends of the earth to every place where

will be just one road. Men must walk |
it together 1t is everybody's road from
here on.
The United States has been called

hey have not become fused. 1t must
become a fusing pot, particularly on

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 dc 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

peace. For a time some military force
may be necessary as a police club to
be used against recalcitrants, but
eventually even that "gun behind the

"be good" platitudes will not achieve
peace, as long as economic anarchy
is rampant. Economic justice will
eliminate the anarchy
Necessarily there will be blunder-

Co-ops Are Paying Taxes, Too!

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 or 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 a 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.

HARDIN COUNTY
Mail Carrier Retires;
Totes Sacks 81 Years

"Sure the life of a mailman is
tough, but it has its compensa-
tions," says Mike Claybaugh, who is
retiring after having roamed the
streets of Kenton for the last 81
years.
Estimating he would have walked
around the world at least three
times, had he kept going due east,
instead of returning to the Kenton
post office each day, Mike says that
the government never, to his know
ledge, has improved on that satchel
he has had to shoulder for 81 years.
The toughest period of mail-carry-
ing he has faced was during the two
World Wars, particularly the last.
In the first, Mike never so much as
had boy on his route wounded.
In the last he didn't fare so well.
'"The hardest job in my career
was delivering the confirming letters
on the deaths of two boys on my
route, one who was killed in the
Pacific, the other in the Atlantic
theatre"
Mike, who wears out a pair of
half f-soles in four or five weeks,
figures he also has worn out a lot
of dogs. One dog in particular,
Jerry by name, followed him on his
rounds for years.
