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,

'. 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

could once again serve the pur

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.
