group, which owns the lions share

ministration has provided tax relief.
This is the group which needed tax
cuts the least. But the Administers
TONS gesture ON its behalf has cost
the federal government $400,000,000
year in tax revenue. The clio be-
heves that this special interest tax
provision providing for a 4fo exemp-
ton on dividends should be repealed
in 1866.
FASTER WRITE-OFFS
Corporations also received special
tax relief in 1854 in the form of a
new method of paying for new equip
ment out of their tax bills. This pro-
vision permitted corporations to
write-off two-thirds of the cost of
new plant and equipment in the first
half of the expected life of the new
plant and equipment. In contrast,
the old method allowed corporations
to write-off only half of the new
plant and equipment cost in the first
half of such plant and equipments

What they are trying to say IS that

Cooperative lines are getting some
thing that the customers of the Mon

is a brazen attempt to destroy the
so-called preference Clause" which
is in nearly all Federal Reclamation
and Flood Control Acts.
Stated in simple terms the prefer

duced by Federal Generating Plants
Public Bodies, Municipalities and
Co-operatives shall get first call on

agencies that will not exploit the

The Co-operatives are non-profit or
CARNATIONS which pass on the electric
power to their consumers at the low
est possible cost. When the Montana
Power Company gets federal power
it simply makes more profits for its
stockholders and the general public
does not get the lower rates it should.
What the Montana Power Com
pany did not say in their ads is
that they are getting more federal
power than all of the co-operatives

TAX CUT ON DIVIDENDS

In 1854, the Administration first
tax moves were designed to give tax
relief to those receiving income from
stock dividends and to corporations.
For stockholders, a special 40 tax
exemption was enacted.
In the Federal Reserve Boards
monthly BULLETIN for June 1855
the Survey of Consumer Finances"
has interesting material on stock own
ership. This survey pointed out that
of the 51.5 million spending units
(about equivalent to families) in the
United States, only go owns any
stock in publicly held corporations.
This represents no change from an
earlier 1858 report.

Two major tax decisions will auto
matically come before Congress next
year: On April 1, 1856, corporate
tax rates, now 529o will drop to 47%
unless Congress acts to extend the
present rate. At the same time, eX-
else taxes on such items as beer,
wine, whiskey, cigarettes, gasoline,
diesel and special motor fuels, autos,
trucks, trailers and buses will drop
to pre-Korea levels.
Federal tax revenues will lose ST.
$50, 100000 from the scheduled cut
in corporate tax rates and $1,000
100000 from the automatic cut in
excise taxes-a total loss of $780,
100000.
Last year, the CLIO recommended
that the corporate tax rate be con-
tinued at its present level and that
excise taxes be returned to the pre-
Korea level. The CLIO now repeats this
recommendation, which would result
in 81, 100000 more in federal tax
revenue than the presently scheduled
tax changes would provide.
Congress will also consider several
other proposals for tax reduction,
most of which will have as their OBJ
jectives further tax concessions for
those most able to bear the tax bur-
den. The CLIO contends, however, that
any tax cuts in 1856 should benefit
primarily the low and middle-income
brackets-the wage earners and the
small and moderate salary receivers.
These are the groups who deserve
tax relief the most So far they have
received little or no tax benefit from
Congress.
Before examining in detail the
compelling reasons for increased in
dividual exemptions, it would be wise
to review the changes in the tax
structure in recent years. Almost in
the changes sought by the |
present Administration and approved |
by Congress have provided tax relief
to upper-bracket income receivers, to |
or to favored groups of
taxpayers.

equivalent of $4,000. Later on
this pledge apparently was not
satisfactory and the church re-
Verted TO the custom of paying

ed by the members at the end
of the year.
The Upper Seneca Baptist

then called, had another custom

day Each year the congregation
extended a call for the pastor to
come and serve them. Thus,
theoretically, a minister held ten
ure for only a year at time
and his pastorate was renewed
only on approval of the congre-
Satloh. In actual practice, how
ever, the contract was renewed
year after year. Elder Joseph
II. Jones, the fourth minister of
the church was appointed, for ex.
t-amplei--ins November 1923 and
probably served in that capacity
until his death in 1872.
II was Elder Jones who, at
the request of the Baltimore Bap-
fist Association in 1872, wrote a
history of the association and
its member churches which in
many cases provides the only
source of information about the
early history of the Baptist
groups in this section of Mary

Sanitary Requirements
Strict on ReseaI Wheat

STRICTER REGULATIONS under
the Pure Food and Drug Act will re
qulre farmers to meet new sanitary
standards for wheat offered for re.
seal under the Commodity Credit Cor
poration loan program, according to Leo
S. KOlstad, State Agriculture StabiIiza-
ton and Conservation administrative
officer.
Resealed wheat that does not meet
the sanitary requirements will be dis
posed of for livestock feed, and the
farmer must pay back the difference
between the loan and the amount re-
celved for the wheat when sold for
feed, Kolstad said.
He emphasized that it is the farmers
responsibility 10 see that wheat is kept
in loan condition. KoIstad urges farm
ers to make frequent inspection of
wheat under loan. If new storage is be-
ing planned careful consideration
should be given to loan requirements.
The producer who receives a reseaI
loan must sign the following statement:
Il understand and agree that this re-
seal loan is made ON the condition that
II the wheat, upon delivery or acquisi-
ton by CCC, is not of a quality which
meets the sanitation requirements of
the Federal Food and Drug administra-
ton in effect at the time his reseaI loan
is made, the wheat shall be sold to the
highest bidder for feed, or for indus |
trial uses other than food and bever-
ages and the settlement value shall be
such sales price,
