NATIONS FARM COOP COUNCIL OPPOSES
WITHHOLDING TAX ON COOP REFUNDS

LOS ANGELES = (CNS) = The
20%o Withholding tax that Treasury
Secretary George M. Humphrey wants
to levy on coop refunds "would con-
fuse rather than clarity what is tax
able income" delegates to National
Council of Farmer Co-operatives an
nual meeting here agreed.
They pointed out that many farm
err coop members have no net tax
able income. In such cases, the u. S.
treasury would need to refund
amounts withheld, thus mourning
"substantiaP' administrative costs
without materially adding to feder-
al revenues"
Most coop refunds increase a
farmers taxable income. But re-
funds he gets on consumer goods he
buys home appliances, gasoline for
the family car, household heating
fuels, etc.-do not add to his taxable
income. But Humphrey would have
co-ops withhold 20@ of all refunds.
National Council delegates asked
Congress to end the confusion aris-
ing out of recent court decisions.

WHO'S GETTING THE
BIGGEST Slice?

Business is booming, Big Business,
that is. The growth in profits among
manufacturing corporations is not
being shared equally. The fact about
the matter is that big corporations
earned, after taxes, about two thirds
more in 1855 than they did in 1852,
while smaller ones earned about two
thirds less.
Figures of the Federal Trade Com
mission and the Securities and Elk
change Commission, as reported by
the Public Affairs Institute, show
that manufacturers with assets of
more than 500 million increased
their net profits from $2,890,000,000
in 1852 to $4,745, 100000 in 1866
or an increase of "a per cent.
On the other hand, manufacturers
with less than $250,000 in assets
watched their net income drop from
$175 million in '52 to $50 million in
'53-or a decrease of IS per cent.

COPS Tax Laws Spark
Biz Merger Push

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Tax laws passed in the first two
years of President Eisenhower's adj
ministration-laws that ''favor big
corporations and high-income fami-
lies"-are the principal impetus" for
mergers, Congressman Wright Pat
terson (D-Texas) contends.
''The administration sponsored
these changes on the theory they
would stimulate investment in new
productive capacity" Patman said.
''The effect has been to stimulate big
corporations to an orgy of buying
up previously-existing capacity"
Repeating the excess profits tax
allowed monopoly industries to raise
prices and take more profits, he
said. "This left less savings among
small investors, with small business
even more capital-starved than be-
FORE"
Patman urged graduated income
tax rates for corporations, similar
to rates that now apply to individuals.

Ever since man first started to
become civilized, he has divided his
society into two classes. The upper
or ruling minority and the great
masses of ruled majority. The upper
class, the ruling people, generally
have the most money and as they
say, the best part is always the least
so why not let the best land also
the least) part of the people run
the government.
This trend of an upper and low
er class has held true over the CEN
turtles. Then after the masses are
oppressed so long, a revolution is
started and a new regime, possibly
a democracy is established. But who
runs the new democracy? The people
you say. Yes, they elect representa-
tives to Congress and even elect
the president. But who dominates
the president? Not you or l, no, but
the political parties. This trend of
two distinct classes of people has
entered even into political parties.
What 1 would like to tell you is
how it came to be that there are two
big political parties in this country,
what each stands for and how they
became established.
When the United States was first
united under the Constitution George
Washington was selected as the presi-
dent. When a person is chosen as
president of a country even as small
as the United States was then, he
has to delegate authority to other
people to help him do the job. George
Washington chose as his helpers, lat
err known as the cabinet, Henry Knox
as Secretary of War, Thomas Jeffer-
son as Secretary of State, Alexander
Hamilton as Secretary of Treasury,
and Edmund Randolph as Attorney
General.
This young country could be COM
pared to strong body standing on
weak and rubbery financial legs. How
Alexander Hamilton brought new
life into the country's finances is
story of how this ambitious young
man came in constant and direct op-
position with Thomas Jefferson, a
fellow cabinet member.
The main issue in which Hamilton
and Jefferson opposed each other

They want law saying when a farm
er must treat his non-cash coop re-
funds as taxable income-the year
he gets notice of them or the year
they're redeemed in cash.
In doing this, coop leaders said
they want Congress to avoid "pyra-
miding" the farmers tax. For ex-
ample, the U. S. Treasury is now
forcing some farmers to pay income
tax on cash redemptions of past CO.
OPP refunds, as well as on current
non-cash refunds, both in the same
year.
The National Councils resolution
recognizes Congress "clear inten-
ton" five years ago to tax co-ops
on those earnings that become the
property of the congratulated
reserves, for example-and to tax
farmers on those coop refunds that
increase farmers business income.

Medicine Lake High School
was the establishment of the First
Bank of the United States. Hamilton
believed the government should have
an agent to take care of their money.
He obtained passage of a bill in 1871
chartering the Bank of the United
States. This bank was to receive on
deposit the money which came into
the United States Treasury and could
use this money for private invest
ment just like all other banks. 1t
could also issue notes to be used for
paying debts-or as we know them,
paper money. In return for these
eminent money when it was needed
and submit reports on it's condition
to the Secretary of Treasury. Ham
ilton finally obtained George Wash
ington's signature on the bank bill.
Jefferson opposed the bill because he
saw the danger of the government
going into partnership with the rich
and influential men who would pur-
chase the bank stock.
Even though Hamilton's policies
were a financial success it divided
the country into two factions. One,
the farmers, workers, shopkeepers
and western pioneers could see no
advantage in a national bank, they
couldn't buy the bank stock, but
they had to use the currency which
the bank produced. Neither were
they able to buy any of the United
States bonds which were levied to
pay the national debt. These bonds
paid from three to six per cent in
terest and these people through taxes
had to pay this interest which went
to the wealthy people who could af-
ford to buy them. On the other side of
the fence were the wealthy mer-
chants, manufacturers, and finan-
ciers who were enriched by the
interest on government bonds and
bank stocks-this was all great for
them.
Thus it remained, the followers of
the wealthy influential
class, became known as the Federal
lists, while the Jeffersonians, the
farmers, laborers, small merchants,
and backwoodsmen, became known as
the Observation-Disclosures, or since
1830-the Democratic Party. The

H0LD Ding COMPANY GHOST

Had there ever been a single instance In which
Ebasco Services advice had not been followed
by a client? he asked the secretary of the
combine Mr.. Parrott, who is serving the syn
dictate without compensation on loan from
Ebasco.
After long pause, Mr.. Parrot said, 81 am
sure there are plenty but can't recall any at
the moment"
Does this suggest that Ebasco is acting as
mouthpiece for Electric Bond & Share to exer-
else effective control over companies of which
it has been required by law to relinquish fl
nancial and corporate control? The president
of Electric Bond & Share, George c. Walker,
says Bond & Share today does not own a
single share of stock in any electric utility in
the United States 1t does not CONTROL directly
or indirectly any utility in the United States"
How then is it that, without any control,
these companies move with such apparent
smoothness in response to the Electric Bond
& Share subsidiary, Ebasco Services?
The second event which arouses the suspi-
cions of the Senate subcommittee is the pro-
pOsal to merge the Puget Sound Power &
Light Co. with one of the four companies in
the new syndicate, Washington Water Power
Co. Puget Sound does not want to be merged
and is resisting stoutly. Ebasco Services has
had "a substantial and continuing interest
in promoting the merger, according to the
chief counsel for the subcommittee, Joseph
w. Burns.
Is Electric Bond & Share attempting
through it's subsidiary, Ebasco Services, to
merge company it cannot dominate with a
company it can?
These are questions which go to the very
heart of the reforms instituted 20 years ago
to put a stop to fragrant and long-standing
abuses of the holding-company method of
doing business. The subcommittee in it's in
vestigations is serving the useful purpose of
the public's watchdog, to strike down any old
evils in new form which may be growing up
behind the fair facade of reform.
