COP Leader Saws

chairman of the house agricultural
committee, in speaking before the
American Institute of Cooperation at
Fort Collins, Colorado, stated that be-
hind the current congressional in
vestigation is an attempt by corpora
tons to exempt themselves from in
come taxes
eff they don't succeed in getting
co-ops taxed, they can use that as an
argument for getting themselves ex-
empted."
Should coop tax exemption be re-
moved by congress, Hope told the In
stitute the co-ops will provide more
competition than ever. Instead of
paying the same prices for grain as
private elevators and dividing profits
later, coop elevators such as the
FUGTA, will pay higher prices to
avoid making profit.
Co-ops were described by Hope as
"the answer to the individual farmers
lack of bargaining power" The coop,
he stated lis the farmers effort to
help himself instead of depending en-
the government to solve his prob
lens"
Concluding, Hope emphasized that
co-ops are interested in reducing oper-
ating costs and distribution margins,
they not only bring a
greater return to the farmer but ex-
pand consumption by lowering prices
to consumers.

Obviously, the three or more actual
incorporators of one of these social

use for all the funds accruing from
the operation of the club for "legiti-

holding members will have to get all
their benefits from supplying the cash

tive expenses.
Special Session Might Be
Embarrassing
1t is not expected that the Governor
will call any special session to stop
the organization of these clubs. 1t is
the general opinion of competent at
torneys that the racket can be stopped
by simple court action. Moreover,
the embarrassing question he has to
answer of-why he saw fit to veto
lib 403 which would not have permit
ted the present flood of organization

HB 353 had been passed or even SD rs,

special session.

hard time justifying himself. His ter

Gates considerable histrionic ability,
and perhaps may be just an opening
gun in campaign to endear himself

are not familiar with all phases OF
why these conditions exist.
They can be laid squarely at the door I
of Sanity Sam. Had he not vetoed !

s. Years Since First National Labor Day

LabOr's long fight against oppression
is highlighted by the issues it has
raised on Labor Day since the national
holiday was established in 1894.
1s9419o5
The crucial issue of the period was
the rapid development of the trusts.
Golden tongued William Jennings
Bryan was one of the most popular
speakers at Labor Day demonstra-
tions, where unionists raised the cry
for a boycott. On Labor Day 1901
workers demonstrated in support of a
strike against j. p. Morgan's new steel
trust, u. S. Steel, and in 1908 parade
placards declared "The trusts fight
us-lets fight the trusts by not using
their goods"
1eO5-1o15
AS the trusts grew, so grew the vio-
lence against labor. The use of in
functions drew Labor Day wrath. AFL
Pres. Samuel Gompers told 1907
Labor Day demonstration: "The in
functions as issued against workmen
are never issued against any other
citizens. 1t is an effort to fasten an
Offense against them when they are
innocent of wrongdoing." A 1910 pa
raider carried the slogan: ''Plutocracy

taken their place among the best

The publication was suspended In
1912 for the duration of the war.
Meanwhile the research efforts to
the department were intensifled

branches of Agriculture. This years
volume tells the story of this re-
search for the benefit of the aver
age American farmer. OF all science
books of the year this probably will
be the most widely read.

Scientific Developments
In Industry
OF the utmost significance in win
ming the war were the research
achievements of Americas great in
dustrial laboratories. Leader among
these, as it is now the leader in
research heading toward the even
tual industrial application of atomic
energy, was that of the General
Electric Co. Since so many war
weapons were electrically activated
its work was of especial military

volumes appeared during the year

tific sourcebooks but faciating semi

to be a classic comparable 10 the

authority for the past half century
but now is in sad need of revision
Various scientific anthologies have
appeared containing brief, popularly

GUS fields by leading workers in
those lines of research. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that the average scien-

telling his own story. Ordinarily
the sreverse is true. True scientific

of expression which are apt TO

The great war has left psychiatry
in an even more confused state

which actuate the mass movements
of peoples.

physics. They represent a COM

subject in which is bound up the
future fate of mankind-a subject
which, up to a decade ago only a

Wartime Contributions
To Scientific Progress
These histories, published by Lit
tie, Brown & Co., are beginning to
appear. Semioffcial in character,
they are naturally rather dull stories
of some of the most dramatic de-
velopments of all time, but they will
form an invaluable source of mate-
rial for future historians. The vol
umes at hand are New Weapons for
Air Warfare" edited by Prof Joseph
G. Boyce of Columbia University,
and Combat Scientists" by Lincoln
r. Thiesmeyer and John r. Bur
chard.
From the start of the war in Eu-
rope air warfare underwent an enor-
nous development, particularly after
the entry of the United States. At
the start the airplane was relative
ly new weapon. Even the Luftwaffe
used it much as it had been used In
the closing days of the first World
War But new planes, new bombs
new control apparatus and new tao
tics came with astonishing rapidity
very largely because of the enormous
program of research carried out in
this country. New Weapons for Air
Warfare tells for the first time in
detail the astounding story of the
development of the proximity fuze
developed by the Johns Hopkins
Laboratory of Applied Physics Just
outside Washington. 1t also tells OF
the extraordinary fire control appa-
ratus developed by the Navy to COM
bat the Jap suicide raiders in the
Pacific.
Combat Scientists is more
general book. covering the entire
field of scientific war contributions.
1t stresses what is perhaps the most
remarkable developments of all
those in medicine. Mass production
of penicillin and of score of vac
cines, conquest of malaria, investi-
cation and development of thera-
pies for a host of tropical diseases
were few of the wartime medical
developments which come out of the
holocaust as permanent heritage
for humanity. Combat Scientists not
only tells the story of the physicists
and chemists but of the biologists
and psychologists in a war which
involved every aspect of human
living.
Each year the annual report of the
Smithsonian Institution is composed
largely of a collection of popularly
written papers on current scientific
developments. For the past century
these volumes have constituted not
only facinating reading but an in
valuable SOurcebook of scientific
