Farmers Union Corner

This week saw farmers from all parts OF
the Northwest gather IN st. Paul Tor the an
nual GT.A. convention. There they see and
hear and evidence the advantages Of market
ING and purchasing through cooperatlves.
The cooperative is locally owned and
controlled bv the people whose needs it serves
and has a responsibility to find markets for
the production of its members. Its primary
purpose is service to its community.
The cooperative is the only business or
TYNE of business in which the patron gains
an interest in the ownership of the firm
through its patronage. The local farm CO.
operative spreads the ownership of the firm
between perhaps 500 or more farm families.
The savings of a coop stays IN the COM
munitv. They do not 90 out of the community
in the form of profits for some absentee
owners. By helping increase net farm IN
come and by keeping money IN the ommun
ity, farm cooperatives build local p%urchas-
ing power and thus benefit all businesses IN
the community.
There are fewer farmers today, but they
operate bigger, more mechanical and with
the help of science, more productive farms
than their ancestors did. Nearly 40 per cent
of the total labor force In this country is
employed in a business related to agriculture.
Agriculture is the biggest business in this
country and upon it's success depends a great
many other industries.
By seeking to do the most efficient job
of marketing and getting the best possible
price for the farmer, the farm cooperative
increases his net income and his purchasing
power. Because the co-ops are owned by the
patrons, the money stays in the community
and tends to promote local prosperity.
Farmers Union cooperatives are keyed
to serve the family farm system and improve
its economic system. Farm families on the
land are the backbone of our rural commune
ties.

far the county can go to con-
troll its spending. Board mem
bers are gubernatorial ap-
pointees under State law and
the remaining 20 per cent Of
their budget comes from the
State. The board itself is an
swerable to the State Board Of
Education.
Under the consulting con-
tract, Remington Rand agreed
to give the library board serv-
ices Of James H. Clark, a spe-
cialist in planning and design
ing library interiors.
1t set up a fee of 6 per cent
of the contract price of all
furniture, bookstacks, equip
ment, draperieS, rugs, uphol-
stored furniture and related
material for his services.
Fee Terms Outlined
1t stipulated that If all the
equipment for the regional
library were bought from
Remington Rand no fee would
be assessed for the consulting
service.
However, If 1t were pur-
chased from other sources,
Remington Rand would collect
6 per cent on the purchase
prices of the other suppliers
as its consulting fee.
Additionally. Miss Elizabeth
Hage, library director. informed
the board that Remington
Rand would make recommen-
dations on products for the
library that it did not manu-
facture.
For this reason the 6 per
cent fee applies if the items are
bought from sources other than
those recommended by the con-
sultant," she advised.
Had the Library Board taken
the low bid on the steel book
stacks. that. plus the 6 per cent
consulting fee, we're still lower
together than Remington
Rand's bid. On the furniture,
Remington Rand's bid was
more than the next lowest bid
plus the 6 per cent fee.
Remington Rand estimated
that II it had not won any pur-
chases from the library board
the consulting fee would
lamount to about $1,000.
i Donald r. Damuth, county
purchasing officer, said that the
county is not required to take
the lowest bid but generally
takes the lowest one that meets
specifications.
Mr.. Clark. the Remington
Rand consultant, said his con-
tract has nothing to do with

on county control over board

The board was informed OF
the county commissioners dual
action August Is in a letter
from President Frank j. Last

ut appears o.. that the con-
tract which you entered into
with Remington Rand shall be
null and void, and any further

Both moves are designed to

3. Remington Rand, with q
bid Of $36.614, won a contract
for library furniture and equip.
ment after the highest anc
lowest of six bids were disquali-
fled. Remington Rand was the
second highest bid.
4. The board bought 10000

time gave a contract, withou
