Professor
H. C. Dale, Economist of the Idaho
State University, gives two reasons
why this system often fails.
First, members of cooperative
associations are motivated by the de­
sire for profits, drop out on the
slightest provocation, and do not
look far enough ahead. Second, co­
operatives have not pursued sound
business policies which characterize |
most
manufacturing
enterprises.
While business concerns build up a
reserve for lean years, cooperatives
disburse profits immediately.
