The Goal Is
Coop determination

HB 388-Eliminates Patronage
Refunds
AS every coop patron knows, co.
operative businesses always operate
Oh small margins. lib 388 by Ros-
tad (Meagher) proposes that those
margins be cut even further-elim-
mated as it were This would be
accomplished by taxing the gross bus
mess as we'll as the net income of
co-ops in addition to the many other
taxes co-ops pay The bill is so broad
as to cover all benefits patrons re-
alize from their REA co-ops.
In effect, HB 388 sets up a sys-
tenn of double taxation on savings of
a co-op-once on the overpayments
made by patrons at time of purchase,
and again taxing them after such
overcharges have been refunded to
the purchasers.
NOTE: The canard that "co-ops
don't pay taxes" has been so sue
cessfully propagandized in recent
years that many people honestly
believe such to be the case. Here are
the fa,cts-facts which you can check
with your county tax officials or
with various state and federal agen-
cies:
Co-ops Pay:
Property taxes-real and per-
sonal;
License taxes = cigarette store,
drug, cafe. etc.;
Auto taxes = including licenses,
use, gasoline, ETC., etc.;
Transportation taxes, communica-
tons taxes, sales taxes if any, social
security taxes, INCOME and COR
LICENSE taxes on all in
come to which such taxes apply.

The Goal Is

Elimination, not taxation, is the
aim of two antifarm coop bills pres
emily under consideration in the leg
islature. HB 379 and HB 1888, though
presented as measures designed to
make co-ops pay taxes, actually are
such that should they become law,
Montana co-operatives will face GER
tain death.
One brief provision of HB 379
amending existing corporation laws
will suffice to inform coop patrons
as to what is intended under this
measure by Babich and Mccarthy
(Silver Bow and Bremen Beaver
head). Here is the amendment to
Sec. 84-1502 as proposed by the
bills sponsors:
"No cooperative corporation or
association shall be permitted to de-
duct dividends paid on it's capital
stock or any per centum of the net
profits for reserve fund, nor any
per centum for an educational fund
to be used for teaching co-opera-
alton, and no dividends paid to
patrons for goods sold to the CO.
operative or purchased from the
cooperative by such patrons"
That's pretty all conclusive
amendment-even to the extent of
using a backdoor method to stop peo-
pie learning the merits of doing bus
mess with themselves-san middle

the past Is months, been heed
ed by AS&R management.
Here are the facts surrounding
this tragedy, as brought out at a
special meeting of Local 72 IUMM&-
SW, Wednesday night, following the
accident earlier in the day.
For the past Is months report
after report of unsafe working con-
ditions in the bag house had been
made to safetymen, foremen and top
management. Particular emphasis had
been placed on the catwalk as being
hazard. Nothing was done by man
agement to correct this hazard.
A SINGLE TWO-INCH PLANK
By way of information, the cat
walk in question consists of single
2x12 plank with cross supports spaced
approximately 10 feet apart. The
plank that broke under Buffers 260
pounds, according to several smelter-
men who observed it, had knot about
one and one-fourth inches in dia-
meter running almost entirely across
it's width of IL inches. There is no

Tuesday night hearings will be

plank snapped. Eye witnesses also
reported the plank had rotten spots
on it's under side.
ACTION FORTHCOMING
AS this is written, as coronor's in
quest is scheduled for today (Thurs-
day., a five-man committee headed
up by Local 70 President John Fonk,
is already investigating other safety
hazards, and two members of the
legislature, Reps. Frank Vallach Ger
gus) and John Emmons Deer LODGE
two of the sponsors of HB 81, the
safety codes bill-who attended the
Wednesday night meeting have let
it be known they intend to inspect
the entire AS&R plant in company
with a committee from Local 72.
AS for the men who work at that
the expressions at Wednes-
day nights meeting are conclusive
in pointing up that there is a wide
spread determination in East Helena
that no further tragedies shall occur
because of negligence on the part of
Their attitude might be
as as one of condemnation of
the AS&R for what appears policy

to grab onto should the catwalk give
way or he become off balance. Fur
Their, there is no lighting of any kind
in the bag house, and, in order to
see his work man must have one
hand holding flashlight. Finally,
because of overhead structural pieces
it is necessary for a worker to re-
main in a constantly STOPPING posi-
ton when attending to duties along
the walkway.
Thus was the condition of the cat
walk at the time that Butler, a ma
chinist's helper, was assigned by his
foreman to do some repair work.
In view of the repeated reports of
unsafe conditions, this assignment,
to Buffers fellow workers in itself
was also callous disregard for good
safety practices because of Butler
being an unusually large man. Be-
cause of his size, eye witnesses to the
accident report that Butler, unlike
smaller men, had to crawl on his hands
and knees along the catwalk This
ruled out any chance he might other
wise have had to grab on to one of

Save Labor, Self-Feed
Hay, Grain To Cows

Hand-feeding grain to dairy COWS
may be on its way out, according to
recent tests, says William E.. Tar
bell, your Kent or Sussex County
Agricultural Agent.
Dairymen at the University of
Illinois found in a 15-week test
that settled COWS MIXED Just as
heavily and production dropped off
no faster than cows fed by hand.
They believe that self-feeding,
then, is a lot more practical than
most farmers and scientists think.
Previously self-feeding was con-
sidered no good because some COWS
ate too much grain But in the Ill
inOis test, cows were given free
choice of grains and concentrates.
Three pairs of COWS were used, and
they were rotated so that each pair
was fed all ration5 used III the test.
Average milk production varied
only one pound per COW per dav.
Self-feeding has other advantages.
You get away from feeding grain in
the milking parlor. That saves time
and is cleaner. AS for disadvan-
tages. COWS waste feed on ODen
troughs. But ordinary uprights.
like stanchions. would correct this.
This winter, Illinois is going to
test having three sets Of feeders.

medium, and one for average pro-
ducers. so as to feed in proportion

Pros And Cons On
Farm SOybean Storage

Storing soybeans on the farm can
benefit growers, handlers, and con-
sumers. 1t does so by reducing Op-
Grating costs for handlers and man.
ufacturers through less congestion
at elevators, and reduced price
risks.
1t helps the farmers, says William
H. Henderson, County Agricultural
Agent, because the price usually
goes up a few months after the
first harvest glut of the market.
SOybeans prices have followed this
typical pattern every crop year
since 1928 or earlier, except in the
war years of price control.
w. 7. McAllister, Extension Mar
keting Specialist, has this to say on
some of the disadvantages of stor-
ing. Growers must think of dis
advantages such as weight shink-
age, mold, or weevil damage, stor-
age and insurance costs. Many
farms in Delaware do not have ade-
quate storage suitable for soy
beans. and therefore might be bet
ter off to sell at harvest time. The
government will provide loans at
reasonable rates to cover cost of
new grain storage however"
On the basis of these pros and
cons, farmers should probably look
into all the angles of storing be-
fore they decide 20 keep their beans
on the farm. Doing so will help the
overall sOybean picture but might
not be profitable for the individual
if storage on the farm is not good.

A joint service of installation for
Dr.. Eugene Carson Blake as Stated
Clerk of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church in the
U. S. A. and DR.. Glenn Warner
Moore as Secretary of the General
Council of the church will be held
at First Presbyterian Church in
Philadelphia, Tuesday night Oct.
23rd. Presbyterian leaders from
throughout the country, together
with members of the General Coun-
Gil, are expected to attend.
DR.. Blake was elected Stated
Clerk by the 163rd General Assem-
bly, in Cincinnati, May 20, 1851. He
succeeded the late DR.. William Bar
row Pugh, of Wallingford, Pa, who
has been Stated Clerk from 1898 to
the time of his death in an auto
mobile accident in Wyoming, Sept.
IA, 1850. The Stated Clerk of the
General Assembly is the highest
executive official in the Presbyteri-
an Church in the U. S. A. The title
has been in use in Presbyterianism
for a long time. In the 18th century
the duties of the Stated Clerk were
largely limited to custodianship of
records, issuing of credentials, etc,
but in recent years great prestige
has been added to the office. The
Stated Clerk arranges the annual
meetings of the General Assembly
which are the high point of the
church year He also serves as prin-
cipal adviser, and expedites the
business of the assembly. The Pres
byterian Church in the U. S. A., of
which the assembly is the supreme
