SENECA LAKE

Seneca Lake, June II - Well,
here we are back again with few
bylines. Most every one in these
parts have their corn planted, and
their soybeans drilled. The wheat
looks like full crop, and will be
due for cutting on the 4th of July
The oats crop is looking very prom
ising.
The Bishop Bates has the prize
garden in the state, if all reports
are true as received.
The Bishop has new fishing
license, and will thin out the fish
in the lake and try to compete with
Harley Bates.
A. G. Watson and Vernon Roe of
Cleveland were Sunday guests of
the Duke (Bethel Bates) The Duke,
the Bishop and Sid, accompanied
Charles and Harold Miller to Cald-
well Friday morning.
This correspondent will try to be
present in these columns next week,
but can't say from what part of the
u. S.
My big Walker foxhound is with
Dennis Bates, dog warden in Cam
bridge, and Dennis is using him to
train some young dogs. Dennis
brought me four Walker and two
Trigg pups. They are not for sale.
At the present time the fruit sit
uation looks very promising, espec-
tally above the coal level; all kinds
of berries will be plentiful, if the
weather don't turn to dry.
An Invisible Church" Bible
school will be opened sometime soon
watch for location and date; in these
Bible school meetings there will be
a true Bible revelation of the In
visible Church, not mans invented
idea.
If you are of the Body of Christ
you will not fail to attend some or
all of these meetings. All in Christ
are one, (ONE), a solid Body with
its many members attached to the
body, of which Christ is the head
Christ is the church and not the
buildings one sees: if one can see
Christ in the flesh, then one can
see the church.
Buildings, churches, are not saved
these are the protesting churches;
only people are saved, these will
compose His church, then Visible
Church, but to us now the "Invis-
ible Church"
The processing churches and the
buildings called churches remain on
the earth and pass through tribula-

ton. These churches will probably
not be used for church purposes,
for there are no Christians left on
the earth; the Gospel will be pro-
claimed from the sky by the angels,
warning the people left here on the
earth their pending fate.
There will be some people saved
out of the tribulation, but, OH, al
what a cost to them; they will be
killed dead for their faith in God.
You as you read these lines, dc
you want to remain on the earth
and pass through the rapture and
tribulation. No, not if you realize
what choice you are making.
You can become a Christian to-
day, and not be killed for it, but if
you died before the rapture period,
all of your chances have vanished of
ever being saved. Christ is coming
for His church, and all prophecy
discloses it can be at any time, right
now; so it is time to be looking up;
He will come (return) as he went
away, in the sky. Have your lamps
trimmed and ready to light, to at
tend the wedding of Christ and His
church.
The economic stability of our gov
ernment is being undermined by all
sorts of foreign ideas from many
countries. Instead of a new world
order, let us have an honest return
to Gods basic plan, with the free
individual the indispensable unit.
Gods basic plan will serve hu-
manity well everywhere, under all
condition and until the end of time.
1t is natures own order. Gods basic
plan does not have to depend upon
economic chaos or war strife for its
opportunities. There is nothing vul-
ture like about Gods basic plan.
1t is the Surest guarantee of peace
and freedom, it is also the best pro-
lection against the atomic bomb,
which should not be committed to
a hybrid international group, COM
posed of nations of free men and
empires of herded men, as in the
United Nations. Free men and free
nations, in uncoerced cooperation,
are essential to Gods basic plan.

pand and take over private indus
tries until none is left, who will pay
the taxes necessary to maintain the
government?
The National Tax Equality As
ISOLATION is leading the fight to
just share" of federal income taxes
to support the government under
which they flourish.
NTEA cites that profits of pri-
vate corporations are taxed twice.
The corporations pay federal in
come taxes on their profits, and
stockholders pay individual income
taxes on dividends they receive,
which are added to their income in
their tax returns.
The co-ops, NTEA CONTENDS, cor
respond in form of organization to
private corporations. The members
are the coop stockholders, receiving
their dividends as earnings" or
savings" But the coop o~rganizat-
ion pays no profit tax. The only tax
the government may collect is on
the income of individual members.
But in most instances the 'sav-
ings" are actually paid to the mem
Der, but r retained by the coop
for expansion-at least a large
part, NTEA cites.
The two top coop organizations
are the National Association of Co.
operatives, representing the farmer
producer co-ops., and National Co.
7 operatives, Inc, representing man.
ufacturing and consumer groups.
Both groups contend the co-ops
are non-profit, hence exempt from
profits taxes. But Ben c. McCabe.

A $12,000,O 0O, 1000 a year business
has m~ushroomed in the United
States from $3.50, 000, 900 a year in '19
practically tax free. A so percent in
crease is expected this year.
Meanwhile individuals and pri-
vatel yowned business are paying

The $12, 900, OOO, 900 a year tax-ex-
empt business is done by the fast
growing, rapidly-expanding, coop
eratives.
FOUR MAIN ISSUES
A battle is on between the CO.
operatives and tax-paying private
enterprise for survival. The issues
are:
l. Can private enterprise pay 38
per cent federal income tax profits
and survive against competing CO.
operatives which pay from zero to
IL percent.
2. Are co~-operatives expanding
now into almost every business
and industry, violating the law ex-
empting from federal income taxes
only farmers, fruit growers and
like organizations" operated exclu-
sively as sales agencies to market
their products WITHOUT PROFIT,
and co-operatives organized to pur-
chases essential farm supplies at
cost?
3. Is the U. S. Treasury favoring
co-operatives in ~exempting from tax
alton the funds accumulated and
used to expand old businesses and
buy new industries, while private
industry must pay taxes on funds
similarly accumulated?
A. If co-operatives continue to ex-

Co-Ops Get Fat Dodging Taxes;

BY L. w.

Whose share of the federal taxes are you paying?
The budget estimate for the governments operations for
fiscal year 1947, which began July l, is 1898 BILLIONS. That
means the government will require that much revenue to operate,
short of a deficit.
There will be a deficit of course-that is the way the U. S.
government has been operating, particularly under the Demo-
cratic administration, despite the fact that more and higher taxes
have been imposed.
Yet, many are not paying taxes to support the federal govern
ment-and particularly many vast and growing businesses are not
paying taxes. The National Tax Equality Association has launched
a campaign to bring about equalization of the tax burden.
1t contends that the fast-growing cooperatives are avoiding
their just share of federal income taxes; that "big business"
operated by the government itself, in competition with private
industry, should be taxed.
The Chicago Herald-American has made an extended study
of the charges of the National Tax Equality Association, and of
the cooperatives and governmentin-business The following
article reveals startling trends of tax avoidance, and appeared in
Hearst papers throughout the country.
