Much time was spent at both the state and national meetings In at tempting to draft a wheat pro gram which might be considered by congress and at the same time provide an income to the wheat farmer under which they might exist.

The weather which we have had over thp last couple of weeks is quite inducive to these kinds of loss es. Adequate housing may be provided by an open shed closed on three sides. It Is necessary to have proper drainage so water will not run back Into the build ing. Pay particular attention to prevent cross drafts. In some in stances housing is too tight for hoes. This results in overheating which attributes to the suseptl- billty ol pneumonia, btraw, low quality hay, or shavings make excellent bedding. Do not get it too deep as hogs will tend to crawl into the bedding and the smaller ones may get mashed. won uin, th-inrcro nrnHntinn'mas, Ton! Taylor; Three Little of grain in the Northwest.

Basically, ; thin measure, which was fought by. many, but sol idly backed by me nauuii s u- v dependent bus- f jf inessmen vot- 5 ing through the fc , National leu-!.,'. -i, eration of In- 1' -. dependent Bus- C. W. Harder iness, provides that small cor porations may elert to be taxed as partnerships. Based on this expression of businessmen's sen timent at the grass roots level George Bergen, Washington vice president of the Federation ap peared before many Congress ional Committees to explain the vital need for this revision. Tax savings up to 25 will re sult for many enterprises. The background is briefly this. Many small lirms arc incorporat ed largely to take advantage of the limited liability of such an operation of the principals. But under the law, as it exist ed, such a small corporation had to pay 527 of any profit over $25,000, plus a heavy tax on the first $25,1100. This has taken away from these small enterprises capital needed to expand, or compete. Under the revision of the law passed by Congress, these cor porations can now elect to be taxed as partnerships. In many cases, the tax rate on the indi viduals Is far less. IF) Nitlonjl FH' ralMi of iTnlfpHMfn!

As Your Telephone 3-8422 4. -1 Tha internal Revenue Service has set up for the present the following regulations. Any dom estic corporation, not a member of an affiliated group of corpor ations, with not more than 10 shareholders, with only one kind of stock, and whose sharehold ers, with the exception of es tates, are individuals, can elect to be taxed as a partnership. For the tax year of 1958, such small corporations that qualify who elect to take advantage of this benefit, such election must be made not later than Decem ber 1 of this year. Naturally, whether or not a qualified corporation elects this method is a highly technical matter which undoubtedly will be preceeded by conferences with the accountants. But it is interesting to note that for the first time in income Jax law history, a definite, specif ic provision is being made to am the small business operation, and to put the taxes on small busi ness at least on some semblance of a basis of equity. This provision is just one of the several passed in the last Congress to protect the welfare of independent enterprise. And while this provision, and the oth ers, do not do the entire job, needed, it is significant that a start has been made. Equally as significant Is this fact. Many times In the past, huge corporations, employing ex pensive batteries of legal talent in Washington, have serured re visions of the tax laws for their beneft. But this Is the first in stance where a grass roots movement has resulted In a tax reform not to benefit one or two Coliaths, but one that can help a widespread number of small business enterprises. in Pioneer Memorial hospital.
