The panelists have been chosen.
says Miss Smith, because of their
knowledge of the farm problem and
not because of political affiliation.
All those interested and especially
those who are unfamiliar with farm
legislation, are urged to attend.
There will be an open floor discus

Boys School Needs
Better Facilities,
More Equipment

MILES CITY-A Montana Farm
ers Union field team composed of
Mrs. Lorine Twedt of Rudyard and
Charles A. Banderob of Huntley, Wit
tied and toured the Montana State
Industrial School for Boys here dur
ing the afternoon of September FL.
They were impressed with the re-
Mobilization program and work that
was being carried on at the school.
They saw outstanding work being
done by the boys on many projects.
These projects are being carried on
under crowded conditions.
Attention should be called to the
citizens of Montana that there is no
greater contribution that can be made
to human society than to rehabilitate
a person who has had some misfor-
tune. In our society, misfortune can
happen to anyone.
With improved facilities and equip
ment of adequate size and structure,
says Mrs. Twedt and Mr.. Banderob,
this fine work could be greatly i'm
proved. The end result would be
much more satisfying to all involved,

WASHINGTON-(CNS)-
Congress won't act this veal
on President Kennedy's plans
to end confusion over the tax
status of some non-cash COOP
refunds in the hands of then
customers.
However, the House Ways an6
Means Committee expects soon te
propose for action a series of com
plicated changes in the tax laws that
goes far beyond anything suggested
by the President or Treasury Secre-
tary Douglas Dillon.
Under these proposals, a coop
would pay income tax on all non
cash refunds unless members could
redeem them in cash within go days.
Thus. if coop members vote at
their annual meeting to invest their
refunds in the coop, any member
must be able to step up within 80
days and get cash instead. If he
can't get cash, then the coop must
pay income tax on ALL the years
refunds.
This rule would apply to "any
corporation operating on co-opera-
tive basis Except mutual savings
banks and insurance companies)"
with the exception of certain farm
ers' marketing and purchasing co-ops.
(These co-ops do nearly all their
business with farmers, keep patron
age records on every customer and
make refunds to him, and are exempt
from income tax on interest paid to
stockholders so-called exempt
co-ops. uN
Such farmers coop would have
two other alternatives. If it secured
each customers written consent each
year to invest his refund in the bust
ness. or if it secured each customers
signature on each sales slip stating
his willingness to invest his refund
in the business. it would not pay
income tax on non-cash refunds.
Apparently, however, co-ops ham
ding consumer goods, most farmers
marketing and supply colops, hous-
ing, health. and rural electric co-ops
either must be ready to redeem nom
cash refunds or capital credits within

Adequate Funds
For Education

CHINOOK-Th Blaine Count,
Farmers Union held their fall quarter
ly meeting Sunday, September "a
at the high school Cafeteria in Harlem
During the business meeting a very
interesting round table discussion was
held by the Junior campers. Those
participating were: David, Danny anc
Dewight Hauge; Margie, Linda ano
Sandy Hermes, Sherry and Monty

Delegates elected to the state con-
vention to be held in Great Falls
October 1928 are: Senior delegate,
Francis Bardanouve; alternate, John
Norheim; Junior delegate, Marlyn
Hermes, and alternate, John Hebble-
man, Jr.
After a lively discussion several
resolutions were passed. These in
cluded:
We are opposed to the increas-
ing concentration of power and
wealth in the hands of fewer monopo-
listic corporations and urge that the
federal government take active steps
toward hating this trend by rigidly
enforcing present antitrust and mo-
nopoly laws and make studies towards
improving and strengthening these
laws.
We feel that the Montana Farm
ers Union should do their utmost to
improve public relations, in view of
recent developments.
We urge that the Montana Farm
ers Union support by every possible
means adequate appropriations for
all levels of public education in Mon
tana. We deplore the false economy
of making unrealistic cuts in the
university system budgets.
We resolve that we favor
''bushel and pounds allotment farm
program in preference to acreage
allotments. We urge our COMPRESSION
al delegation to support this new ap-
proach to our farm problem.

House Group Threatens
Non Cash Coop Refunds


| 90 days or pay income tax on then
These changes are included in tn
committee print of a bill the Hous
Ways and Means Committee is pre-
pairing. 1t has not yet been intro
duced, but Congressman Wilbur Mill
| (D-Ark.), the committee chairman
told GINS, eve are looking to actio1
early next session"
Under the proposal, it makes no
difference what form the non-cash
refunds take whether in shares
Of stock, whether with or without
a due date, whether they bear in
terest or not. IF they are not re-
deemable in cash within 90 days,
the coop must pay income tax on
them.
Other proposed tax changes, which
run to 129 pages, also provide
That coop may deduct from
its taxable income any non-cash re
funds declared in prior years (but
not deducted) when these are re-
deemed in cash;
A Withholding tax of one-sixth
(163s 9o) of all coop refunds paid
to individuals in cash or non-cash
form redeemable within 80 days, un-
less the coop is primarily engaged
in selling at retail goods or services
for personal, living, or family use";
That refunds on such goods and
services are not taxable income to
the coop member.
The committee, Mills says, believes
that non-cash coop refunds must be
redeemable in cash, at least within
90 days, ito avoid any constitutional
problem. If a coop wants to give
it's members 120 days or six months
to redeem its non-cash refunds IN
cash, that's all right with the COM
mittee. But members must have at
least 80 days to do so.
The committee feels it must go
this far to establish that non-cash
coop refunds are actually income to
their members.
Many, coop leaders question this,
and they cite the arguments of Treas
ury Secretary Dillon. Speaking to
the committee early this year, Dillon
said a simple congressional declara-
ton that coop Observation-Disclosures

"Why should Congress now decide

A Boon For Construction Industry But a s1
FuI|out Shelters Offer Only d
Temporary Reprieve From Death

The disposal problem is of spec
ial concern in Montana because of
a government proposal to use the
Blackfoot Reservation near Brown
ing as a dumping ground for ra-
dioactive waste, according to the
MSU professors. Acc scientists
from Oak Ridge, Tenn, told the
symposium that any plan for waste
disposal must take into account
the fact that living organisms con-
centrate radiation in much greater
amounts than does the surrounding
atmosphere.
This point was borne out in a re-
port by B. w. Fitzgerald, one of a
team of University of Connecticut
scientists who studied concentration
of radioactive zinc in oysters. This
group ran biweekly tests over a period
of time on samples of oysters from
private oyster farms in the immediate
vicinity of the Nuclear Submarine
Base at Groton, Conn. The research
ers found that radioactivity in the
oysters showed a sharp increase in
July, amounting to several hundred
times the levels of the previous win
ter.
HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS
I. L. Ophel of Atomic Energy of
Canada, Ltd, reported on Canadian
research that showed marine animals
may concentrate up to 5000 times as
much radioactivity as is found in sur
lake water.
More than 80 technical papers were
at the symposium attended
by scientists from atomic laboratories,
government installations and univer-
stiles, the MSU delegates said. The
was sponsored by Colo
ado State University, the American
institute of Biological Sciences and

In nuclear war, fallout shelters
might only postpone death for pop
ulations exposed to high levels of
radiation in the environment. ac-
cording to an Atomic Energy Com
mission biologist.
Three Montana State University
scientists reported that this opinion
was expressed by DR.. John N. Wolfe,
head of the Aces Environmental
Science Branch, in his keynote ad-
dress at the first symposium on radio
geology, at Colorado State Univer-
sity.
AT POISON, OCTOBER 2
The MSU professors who attended
the symposium, Drs. Meyer Chessin,
E. w. Pfeiffer and Clyde NJ. Senger,
said that DR.. Wolfe pointed out that
man has always had to emigrate or
perish whenever his environment be-
came incompatible with his existence.
If man has no place to go if nuclear
war strikes, fallout shelters might
offer only temporary reprieve from
death. Wolfe told the $50 scientists
assembled at Fort Collins.
At another session, DR.. Wolfe said
that fallout from testing nuclear
weapons is not likely to be hazard if
testing does not increase in frequency
and magnitude.
NO BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
The Acc scientist said that at radi-
alton levels measured so far eve can
find no biological effects on man or
on the plant and animal life on which
he depends. This does not mean that
there are no effects but merely that
it will take time to determine what |
the effects are. Currently, according
to DIR. Wolfe, any lethal effects would |
not show up in natural populations
because if mutants were found. it |
would not be possible to determine
whether they were due to radiation.
The MSU delegation said that other
significant sessions DEATH with the
problem of disposing of radioactive
waste and with the effects of radia-
ion on animal life.

would set the land value at $4,000
