Tax Immunity
For Co-Ops Is
Upheld At Hearing
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. UP)
A spokesman for co-ops said Fri
day that actual figures disprove
the contentions of private business
men thst tax-free co-ops are mena
cing other forces of enterprise.
Ksrl D. Loos, speaking for the
co-operatives, told the House Ways
snd Mean committee:
1. Plugging of the so-called loop
hole in the present co-op income tax
structure would yield the govern
ment very little additional tax
revenue. . '
2. Farmer co-ops present no seri
ous threat to other efficiently
operated businesses.
1. Congress should not enact any
tax legislation that would tend to
weaken the rights of farmers to do
business cooperatively.
Businessmen witnesses told the
committee that co-ops reorej-.u a
Sl,000,000,000-a-year leak in federal
tax revenues, and Congress should
la- coops just like sny other
t s.
Loos said "the best available
fl(, ... ...tow that the federal
government, at the outside, would
gain less thau (20,000,00 a year by
elimination of the present income
tax exemption granted farmer co
operatives."
Loos spoke for the National Coun
cil of Farmer Cooperatives,. the Na
tional Milk Producers federstion
and the National Federation of
urain Cooperatives.

As a final twist the voters' ap-
