Are 'Co-ops' Legitimate
Or Just Smart Tax Dodqes?

Thus, tho earnings Of private
corporations can be taxed at two
levels - corporate and individual.
while the earnings Of co-operatives
are largely tax free ut both income
levels.
Because most Of their earnings
are untaxed. co-operatives obtain
. strong competitive advantage.
Their large tax savings give them
20 much the greater capacity for
growth and expansion and IN
certain eases have enabled them
30 absorb their heavily taxed cor
porate rivals.
Some observers see in this q
tax-induced trend toward more and
larger co-operatives and fewer
private business corporations.
Tax Advantaee Grows
There Is nothing bad about CO.
operatives. They are q part Of the
American way Of life, and millions
Of Americans enjoy their services
and benefits.
Formerly. most Of them were
small. Many were mere neighbor-
hood associations. And the cofpo-
rate income tax was only 2 per
cent. The co-operatives' tax advan-
tage was Of no consequence. But
the co-ops have come Of age, and
the extremely high rate Of taxation
almost everywhere else In the econ
omy has created . serious problem
Of tax inequality.
Spokesmen for the co-operatives
argue that their position Is unique
in the business world. They contend
that q cooperative is essentially an
association or partnership which
acts as agent or trustee and that its
gains represent q discount or rebate
which it Is legally obliged to make.
They hold that as . co-operative's
earnings are paid out on q patron
age rather than an investment
basis the payment Is not o distribu-
ton Of corporate net income. Their
belief appears TO be that although
most co-operatives are incorporated
they should be taxed as unincor-
porated associations.
It u no secret that many Con-
gressmen regard this area OF tax
escape 40 q major loophole that
ahould be plugged. And some fear
that the tax-favored status Of CO.
operatives is O potential threat to
the free enterprise system.
Yet Congress has been reluctant
TO act. In 1854 the House Ways
and Means Committee, by o three
vote margin, rejected an amend
ment to correct the situation: and
In the Senate q similar measure
was defeated by close voice vote.
During the past session, however,
the Ways and Means Committee
would not act without recommen-
dation from the Treasury Depart
ment. When, toward the close Of
the session, Secretary Humphrey
suggested O 20 per cent withholding
tax on co-operatives' earnings. moth
ing was done.
One difficulty Is that this tax
equality problem II not generally
understood. Probably most city
dwellers are unaware Of 1t. Yet It

Of what former Acc Chairman
Gordon Dean told q Pittsburgh
law forum several years ago.
Manufacturers negligence ha-
bility. Of course. has been well
established for years. But in recent
times the courts have become more
liberal In applying 1t. Even where
negligence cannot be positively
shown in the manufacture, the
products made are often Of such
nature that the courts require the
producer to disprove negligence.
In addition. despite the use Of "all
possible care" and despite the fact
that the maker may have clearly
warned ultimate users of hazards
involved. liability may still exist.
This Is what the lawyers call the

In the face of this tendency. in

How con pIone owners reduce their

Plant operators are probably

cinity. This. too, creates q dilemma.

Ohio MiIdlife Division Announces
National WiIdIife Week, March 20-26

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Save
Americas Wetlands" is the Slo-
gan for this years National Wild
life Week, March 2O-26 and the
Ohio Division of Wildlife has join
ed the Wildlife Federation in TO-
cusing public attention on conser-
vation problems. National Wildlife
Week is sponsored annually by the
National Wildlife Federation with
the help of state and local affili-
ates.
Charles A. Dambach, Chief, Ohio
Division of Wildlife, said special
emphasis is being placed this year
on the value of marShlandS,
swamps and other 'wetlands" and
the question of where drainage and
destruction of such areas should
stop. "Wetlands" he explained, is
a general term meaning marshes,
swamps, Sloughs, bayous, lakes
and similar natural water areas.
Such areas, he pointed out, pro-
duce all the wild ducks and geese
of America, most of the furbear-
ers, and other valuable wildlife re-
sources.
4
Reason for stressing wetlands
preservation, Dambach, is that
since America was settled by
White Man, more than 90 million
acres of original marshland and
swamp have been destroyed by
drainage, water pollution, and
man-induced drought. Less than
80 million acres remain that are
fit for waterfowl habitat, accord
ing to federal authorities.
Another wildlife authority, DR..
r. w. Eschmeyer, executive vice
president of the Sport Fishing In
stitute, has pointed out that some
of the best fishing sport in Ameri-
ca is to be found in the swamps and
sloughs, the natural woodland
lakes - in fact the so-called wet
lands.

and Southeastern Ohio, the migra-
ton peak occurred almost a month
after the close of the waterfowl
season.
In view of this data The Wild.
life Council feels a more equitable
harvest of waterfowl can be real
lied if Ohio has two seperate
shooting zones.
Under the proposed zoning, the
northern zone would be that area
lying north of u. S. Route 20, bor-
dered on the west by Ohio Route
333 and on the east by US. Route
