Farm Bureau Says It Pays Tox

Remitted $75,000 to County Last Year, Co-op Asserts

y HAROLD H. HARTLEY, Times Business Editor

THE FARM BUREAU CO-OP speaks up to say it does

pay. taxes, and don't forget it.

The Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association,

Inc., that’s the whole name, right down to the last comma, says it paid $75,000 i in property tax in Marion County alone “last year.

Bargain in Price To Housewives

But it doesn’t pay ‘federal taxes. And this is how it figures: The co-op is nonprofit, and it! there's no profit how can there be issue. It's a keeping piece. taxes? If I nodded yes and took it at that, I would be a traitor to what

{dramatic mind, and his background of advertising hardmuscled advertising words.

{the issue, Hoosiers

said Holiday called “hicks.” And what's!

simple thinking processes I have. You see, the farm co-op says its position is very similar to the Indianapolis Clearing House and some press associations. = ” ” BUT THERE IS ONE notable difference, These two organizations have few or no competitors. And the farm co-ops do. And business reasoning points out that if they operate without taxes they can undersell their tax-paying competitors in the exact amount of the income taxes they do not have to pay. A few days ago in a discussion of the federal tax bill I pointed out that farm co-ops were exempted from paying taxes on business income. But labor] unions would have to pay under the bill proposed, so would charitable, religious and educational institutions. The farm bureau nas called to my attention, quite cordially, too, that it pays property tax, gross income taxes “and all the rest.” 3 SE 8 s THERE WAS A TIME when the farmer had it a little tougher than he does today, no government supports, no crop checks, no guaranteed income, and in those days the man who grows our food certainly needed a tax-free co-op. It cut down his living costs, left fewer patches on his pants. But today, if he is a good manager and has enough land, he! can have a lot of things city folks can’t afford. There are a! few Cadillacs parked in the hay barns of Indiana. And any city man will tell that's top drawer. ” n nu THE FARMER'S a friend of, mine, so is the farm co-op, but the tax exemption angle which is hard for me to swallow is the political smell. There are plenty of people who will tell you, that the administration is actually trying to buy the farm vote with tax dollars bucketed right out of the Treasury. I wouldn't want to say you could buy any farmer's vote, but, dang it, somehow the system keeps winning at the polls, |

Most of the mental muscles of the town and state were on deck making small talk and, as the evening wore on big talk with everyohe and anyone. : » o ” I- HAD' AN ELBOW huddle with Ted Patrick, editor of Holiday, a man whose mind you admire, He's a word man who has not lost his precious inspiration, and vision, one of the best. He hit his stride as a top copywriter for Young & Rubicam, hard-hitting ad agency, where he learned to sweat out his copy,| read it 40 or 50 times, to make every word click. Then the roving eye of Curtis Publishing Co. picked him: for another job which never materialized. Together they went into the glamour travel business, giving resorts, steamship lines, ho-, tels the slick paper come- -hither. | ” ” 2 AND THAT'S why Holiday's, laying issue after issue right in the bullseye.
