$40 PER PERSON TAX
CUT STIRS
SAVAGE STRUGGLE

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS) -
House members battled savagely Feb
ruary 20 over the Democratic pro-
posal to cut personal income taxes
$40 person in 1866, and then passed
the measure 210-205. Two DAYS be-
fore, President Eisenhower dubbed
the move Fiscal responsibility"
The proposal would cut the Treas
ury's income about So billion a year.
The President said that while there's
still budget deficit, he's not in favor
of tax cut.
Last year, Eisenhower asked
Congress to cut taxes So billion,
mostly for corporations and cor
porate stockholders. Congress whit
tied this down to $1.4 billion. A
~ ~ billion deficit-that later rose
to $S.l billion-was forecast at the
time, twice that expected this year.
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Texas)
questioned the Presidents evaluation
asking, when they gave a tax cut
last year to the dividend folks, that
was responsible?"
The S20-a-head tax cut would be
tied to the Presidents own corpora
ton and excise tax extension bill,
thereby rendering it veto-proof, its
hackers believe.
The proposal would, of course. di-
rectly benefit every taxpayer. Direct
benefits under the 1854 law were
confined almost exclusively to less
than 20%o of the taxpayers.

tive fourth among the top taxpayers
in Yellowstone County.
AS the accompanying facsimile
shows this cooperative is paying
$107,792.35 in property taxes in Vel
lowstone county. And that isn't all,
on some lots in the city of Laurel,
this cooperative is paying an addi-
tional $102.35 not shown on the tax
statement reproduced here.
The records are full of taxes CO.
operatives pay every year. This is
true of cooperative grain elevators,
farm supply co-operatives, rural cleo
trio associations and others.
In addition to property taxes CO.
operatives pay many kinds of license
taxes, vehicle taxes, unemployment
and workmen's compensation taxes,
communications and transportation
taxes and others.
Many farm co-operatives do not
pay state and federal income taxes
because they do not have any income
that belongs to the co-operatives
themselves. Surplus funds, over and
above the cost of doing business, be-
long to the patron stockholders, ac-
cording to law. A law enacted by
Congress in 1851 wiped out special
exemption farm co-ops had for many
years because of the nature of their
business.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-03-04

The 1851 law says that certain
specially regulated farm co-operatives
must pay full corporation tax on all
their net margins which are not re-
turned to the patrons or allocated to
them. In other words, co-operatives
pay federal income tax on any unallo-
Gated net savings. Thus it can be
said not one cent of money passing
through a cooperative which would
be taxable in any other business goes
untaxed.
1t is pretty well established that
under the law the savings, if any,
in a cooperative, that is the saw
ings after the cost of doing business
have been paid, are a liability of
the cooperative. The savings, if
any, are legal obligation of the
cooperative has to its patrons. 1t
just is not fair to tax the liabilities
of any business. Ask any business
man if he could stand to have his
liabilities taxed.
Whatever savings a farmer stock
holder realizes from patronizing his
cooperative he is required to show
n his own income tax report. So that
wherever co-operatives show savings
hose savings are taxable in the hands
# the stockholder-patron.
Actually, it all boils down to this:
Jo-operatives pay all the taxes paid
~ partnerships and individual pro-
1t should be said also
many business men use the coop
dea, and those businessmen's co-ops
re organized much like farmer CO.

In a recent year the Farmers Union
Oil Company of Townsend, for ex-
ample, paid more than $1,000 in To-
cal and state property taxes while
three competitors each with property
of comparable value paid only 1868
altogether in property taxes in that
community that year. Not only was
this cooperative doing it's share tax
wise but the figures revealed startling
inequality in tax assessments. Wheth-
er this condition has been corrected
since we do not know.
In the town Of Fairfield in a re-
cent year, the Greenfield Farmers
Oil company, a cooperative, was a
leading taxpayer among nine of the
top businesses.
Any one who wants to know
whether or not co-operatives pay
taxes in any county can go to the
county treasurer's office and get
the inform alton.
Last year the Farmers Union Oil
Company, a small cooperative in ST.
Ignatius, paid more than $500 in
taxes. Last year also the Farmers
Union Elevator of Rudyard paid more
than 5000 in taxes. The farmers own
a cooperative oil refinery at Laurel,
Montana, and on that property and
a warehouse the Farmers Union Cen
trail Exchange paid taxes amounting
to figure that placed that co-opera-

The Fact: Co-ops Pay Plenty in Taxes

save through their coop finds it's
way into the hands of local business
men.
GIN AS LARGE AS ALL CO-OPS
Sometimes in connection with the
taxation question another question
is raised as to the number of cooper
atives and the extent of their growth.
1t is true this type of business has
shown slow growth over the years
Nevertheless, farmer co-operatives
are still very small part of the econ
omy, although co-operatives are very
important to the farmer. Here in
Montana there are some 10000 in
dividual business concerns and of
that number farmer co-operatives
represent about 800. Three hundred
out of 10000 is not very many. In
some of our Montana towns it is
hard to find the farmers coop. Ma
tionwise co-ops are still doing a very
small part of the total business-less
than 3 per cent General Motors Cor
poration alone in 1868 had volume
of business as large as that of al
farm marketing and purchasing CO.
operatives combined. Saying it in an
other way, one giant U. S. corpora
ton does a volume of business equal
ing that of all u. S. farm co-ops.
As you ponder the TV-movie, now
going the round, it is well to get the
whole story on the co-operatives.
IF there is coop in your county
go to the County Treasures office
for the record on property taxes
the coop pays.

BUSINESSMEN ALSO HAVE
CO-OPERATIVES

1t isn't generally known that bust
nessmen in many of our cities and
towns throughout America use the
cooperative idea themselves. C. L.
Wallmark, vice president of the Spo-
kane Bank for Co-operatives, has
said:
eff we had all the figures and
added the volume of business done
by other businessmen's co-opera-
tives to that done by grocers, the
amount would very likely equal or
exceed the business done by all
farm marketing and purchasing CO.
operatives in the nation"
Writing in the magazine, America,
in 1851, H. H. Slawson tells of hard
ware dealers, druggists, grocers and
many other businessmen found along
the Main Streets of our towns using
the coop idea in wholesale and ship
ping, and he says those businessmen's
co-ops pay taxes on the same basis
under the law as farmer co-ops.
In Montana farmers own and OPP
crate a number of co-operatives and
those farmers as group are big tax
payers in the state. Farmers who own
the co-operatives are heavy taxpay-
ars. The farmer cannot pass the tax
