WINNERS
The ners from the Fair is limited in scope
clue to the fact that the Editor ras not
here at the time and no one has had time
to rrite up any report of the affair.
Torevor, re have gleaned a little infor
mation as to some of the prise dinners
and re do hope that this is complete as
far as the large prizes .are concerned,
perhaps by next ’reek re con print the
remainder.

Lynn Sondvik ron first for the best gar
den display and ras ararded a trip to
Portland by Columbia Air Cargo.
t.ary Ada Leo ron the deep freeze unit and
re understand made'a good trade rith her
father for a piano.
Taking into consideration that the reathei
ras not too favorable and that the 1947'
Premium book ras not printed as revised,
the turnout add exhibits rere fairly
good. It ras unfortunate that the rrong
bock ras sent to the printer and the
1S41 premium list ras copied almost ver
batim by mistake rather than the list as
revised by the Fair Board,
A good grov/d attended both dances, but re
do hope for a bigger and better Fair this
next year.

COOPERATIVES
BULWARK of DEMOCRACY
|tcom an address delivered to the United
States House of Representatives by Hon.
Wright Patman. Representative Patman is
chairman of the House Committee on Small
Business which devoted more than a year to
investigation of the competition of co
operatives wlth other forms of American
business.)
Ihe report in question has recently been
attacked in a letters-to-your-Congressman
campaign inspired and principally financed
by a small group of men whose apparent pur
pose is to eliminate the co-operative
methods of doing business’from our American
system of free enterprise.
If these attacks were based on facts or if
the; were made in good faith by their
principal, sponsors, I should not feel o
blxged to make reference to them other thafi
to admit their- accuracy. Their unfairness,
however, and the under handed manner in
which they attempt to credit the Small
Business Committee with a position it has
ever taken, prbmpt me, as chairman of
that commit bee,to teg your indulgence vhile
I review this matter in seme detail.
In the first place, the House Snail Busi
ness Committee never’recommended, in its
report, or elsewhere, that one form of
private enterprise should enjoy tax ex
emption privileges not available to Other
forms of private enterprise. However,
these critics, in their propaganda,would
have you believe that we are seeking'
special privileges for co-operatives.
In the second place, while pointing out
quite correctly that corporate income is
subject to double taxation, these critics
overlook and disregard the report of the
House Steal1 Business Committee, made to
the Houfee T7ajrs and Means Committee in
October,1045, wherein our committee recom
mended unanimously that double taxation
of corporate income be eliminated,
Lastly, these critics take no heed of the
fact that our committee submitted certain,
specific recommendations designed to pre
vent the accumulation by co-operatives
of unnecessarily large tax free reserves
which could be used to expand the cooper*
atives* business activities in competi
tion with other foms of private enter
prise, Continued,
