Court Rules Co-ops Need Not Pay SALEM (API The Oregon Su preme Court held Friday that fed erated cooperatives do not have to pay the state's corporation ex cise tax. Federated cooperatives, of which Oregon has about 25, are formed by other cooperatives. The Tax Commission sought to collect a tax on materials sold by the fed erated cooperatives to their mem ber cooperatives. After the Tax Commission tried to collect the tax from Pacific Supply Cooperative for the years' 1954 through 1957, that cooperative! sued the commission. The Supreme Court, upholding Circuit Judge Alfred T. Sulmonot- ti of Portland, ruled that the co operative does not have to pay, The decision, by Justice A. T. Goodwin, gives federated cooper atives the same tax exemption CHAMBER Comments by GEORGE T. CALLISON Monogr KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE that is given to other cooperatives. The amount which the commis sion sought to collect from Pacific Supply Cooperative was small- only $52 a year. But the Tax Commission said (hat it and the other federated cooperatives do a business of S31 million a year in Oregon, all through sales to their member co ops. The high court held that the Legislature intended that the fed erated co-ops be treated the same as any other co-op. 9th and Pine '. Some activities of a chamber! of commerce, which go unnoticed, are often as important to the business and professional com-j munity as some of the more gen-1 erally known and publicized pro prams. I'm thinking particularly of the large number of mail In quiries which are given careful attention and answers , . . an average of 3,000 a year at your Klamath County Chamber of Commerce. Of course much of this mail Is concerned with travel and tourist information but, in addition, in quirles are received almost daily which could lead to increased business for present concerns or the establishment of new busi nesses. Numerous requests are received tor information about property available for the construction of new homes or businesses, or for farm or ranch property. Very often requests are made for lists of firms offering certain products or services. Research organiza-j lions write for basic information yhich may be helpful to them in attempting to locate branch plant sites for industries they repre sent. ; With the Increased tempo of -International trade, Klamath jCounty gets Its share of requests from business firms throughout the world that are anxious to find new markets for their prod uels or services. Just this week a letter came from an exporter of "Real Pearls and Precious Stones" in Bombay, India. ' Whatever final action results from these letters, one thing Is certain: the story of Klamath County, its products and its serv ices, is constantly being circulat ed around the nation, and even around the world, by your cham ber of commerce. For many years your chamlier of commerce has maintained a calendar of community activities in the office with the thought thai by doing so, conflicting dales for major events could be avoided Planning a large - scale dinner meeting or other event only to discover on the night of the din ner that there are four or five competing events can be pretty oiscouraging tor tne sponsoring! organizations as well as frustrat ing for those persons who would like to participate In several ol the functions. '. Like any other service, howev er, maintenance of an active and accurate community calendar can only be accomplished If clubs and . organizations scheduling events will call the chamber of fice at TU 4-5193 to list their particular function. If everyone responsible for the scheduling for such events would take just a minute or two to call the cham ber, the community calendar could once again serve the pur pose for which it was originally intended.

Phone TU 4-7690 NEW YORK (AP)-Tambou rines still jingle on street corners and humble nuns remain at their familiar posts, but across the land the chore of church fund raising has become more and more the business of commercial pros. Some churchmen and church goers deplore the trend; others see it not only as a necessity but a boon. Advocates have found that pro fessionally conducted campaigns usually don't last as long, are more efficient and demand less time of volunteer church committees. This year America's churches will collect about $3.5 billion with about one billion of it earmarked for new construction. Experts estimate 70 per cent of the sum will come through formal campaigns directed for the most' part by commercial firms or pro fessionally trained churchmen. The Rev. Davis Rice Holt III, in a master s thesis at Union Theological Seminary of Virginia. believes professional fund raising methods often involve spurious explanations of scripture and promote the Pharisaism of con spicuous pledging. Commercial organizations, he said, often are pagan in nature and operate on a profit motive with their only obective getting the money, period. Dr. T. K. Thompson, director of stewardship for the National Council of Churches, takes a directly opposite view: "Retaining professional counsel for fund raising is not essentially different from retaining architec tural counsel in the construction of a new church building," he said. "A reservoir of technical infor mation and skill exists which should be tapped by the church." But Dr. Thompson insists com mercial firms must maintain cer tain ethical standards if they would get a church's business. Broadly, he suggests a firm and its personnel must have wide ex perience and that a set lee, agreed upon in advance, be the method of payment rather than a percentage of the campaign col lections. The fee system is of utmost importance to most pastors who want to take every precaution against an ultra hard-sell ap proach which could alienate their flocks. Church and church related con structionstill riding the crest of a wave born a decade ago is the main reason for the emergence of the professional fund raiser in the nation's churches. Collection plates just don't get the job done, pastors say.
