This investigation is part of a

First hearing on co-op corpora
tions was held at Washington,
D.C., on Aug. 22. At that tune, the
chairman, Congressman Walter C.
Ploeser, of Missouri, made very
clear the purpose of the com
mittee’s inquiry.
“ I am of the opinion,” he said,
“ that in a competitive capitalistic
system, farm marketing coopera
tives have served an essential
niche.
"These hearings were not con
ceived to harass anyone They
are being held to determ ine
whether or not the government has
granted to any type of enterprise
benefits not enjoyed by other busi
nesses.”
Mr. Ploeser, who is serving his
fourth term in Congress, has long

up a constant battle for economy

.
Principal Issues before the com
mittee are whether Federal in

corporations discriminates against

will be done to farmers as well as
small businessmen by the income-
tax avoidance of city consumer
co-ops.
Other members of the committee
at the Seattle hearings are Con
