Incorporation papers have been applied for and the capital stuck will he 150,000. The. preUmimury work such, as seek- ing stock subscriptions, had been done previous to the meeting;, rThe -work ■was directed, by C. L. Latchaw, .sec­ retary o f the Ohip Co-Operative Grain Dealers Association, The shares are $100 each and no one stock holder can hold more than 10 shares, this to be la part of thetby-laws, An- Other feature of the .incorporation will, be tbht; every stock holder, re­ gardless of the fact that he has one share br tep, will get but oho vote. The .organisation of‘ such a com­ pany, has been contemplated here for some time but development# the past . week enabled the leaders in this mfive ment to get an option, on the two file- - vators ’of the Yoder Eros., including the business. The decision at the Sat­ urday ' evening ‘ meeting was unani­ mous and a committee .composed of Hervey Bailey, R, C. Watt* Arthur „ Cummins, Henry Smith, Wm. Hop- ping -and John Fitsfick Was appoin,t- ed to complete the deal.'The proper­ ty Was taken in at $25,000 while the stock on-hand will pe invoiced. Ac­ cording to .the terms reached Monday between the committee apd the Yoder Bros, possession Wilbbe given May 1, The.pplicy of the new company will • be co-operative as we understand.-it/ The company will1handle such lilies as are needed and. Used by farmers and .wilt cover a ll' the present lines handled by the firm and - probably somO others to be added as - the de­ mand warrants.. ' One of the first poihts in the -con- ’• cem wilt be to .make the receipts- cov­ er the expenses, the Cash dividends ’ ' to stock holders to be. on a basis of ‘ six Or eight per cent' as the directors may decide. The building- of a aur- i to finandaUgjstrensjtlnm. <% eo*j- ‘the amount of bus- i*ess done.

Conley, president; secretary, Hervey Bailey and treasuerer, ‘ R. C. Waft. All stock subscribers, are requestedto keep in mind the meeting on Satur­ day-night, Mch, 27, when the regular Oleqtion of directors .will take place. Following this will ,come the election o f officers. The manager, who is yet to be chosen, regardless of many *ti- ipdra afloat, will be chosen by the di­ rectors and officers. The co-operative movement is spread­ ing over .the entire country, At- pre­ sent there are over 300 such compan­ ies in Ohio all operated with suc­ cess withthe exception of three, which have met financial difficulties through speculation. The local company will eliminate alt “speculative features. Thera are over 400 such., companies in the United States; Such s combination o f our leading farmers with their immense wealth gives this Community one o f the strongest concerns in the country The farmers seem to display an urn usual amount of interest in th# new movement andwill no doubt lend Iheir utmost support .to make it the prom­ ised success. Similar Concerns are under organ­ isation in Xenia, New Jasper and Jamestown. Yoder Bros, purchased thi plant of E. A. Allen coming here from- West Liberty about a.year ago." They have mad# no arrangements for the future and ate not ready to announce What they will engage in. The firm has en­ joyed a good business and Will re­ main in our midst to deliver and start all machinery sold or contracted for. It is to be hoped that they will decide to remain as citizens of this place.

According to figures compiled by the Department o f Agriculture there are about seven million farms in the country and already over 80,000 mo­ tor trucks are used on them. It i3 said 42 per cent of the farms contain more than 100 acres but the most of the motor trucks are used on the smaller farm; where intensive farming is done. It is estimated that 350,000 truck will be sold this year in this country, a large per cent of them „to go on farms. » v , * * The number o f loafers about town the past few weeks would indicate tha^fc niany men are not anxious to put' in' full time.

Pontnlus in making his annual report calls attention ot the unprecedented growth of the bank re­ sources of Ohio, reflecting as it does, the .greatest prosperity the people of Oh;o have ever ‘known.

Why can’t we haye a simpler method? Will Congress ever change this present-method to one that can readi­ ly be understood by all or is it the purpose to so tangle people so that greater revenue can be secured? The law .is just as weak as its ad­ ministration. Take for example the enforcement of the rule that required corporations to pay tax on stock div­ idends Which under a Supreme Court ruling must he refunded. To get sev­ eral million dollars which has now reached into the hundreds through the past three years, another bond is­ sue is goipg to be necessary, - If you are satisfied with such a sys­ tem being enforced write to your-con­ gressman and senators and tell them 36 . If you want another 1 system so .ex­ press yourself to' them. Make it plain to .them that you want & simpler ?ystem. • 1' ,H you wapt a new system 1 let us recommend one.

It. cannot be explain­ ed to his satisfaction but he must ac­ cept it just the same. The present law' was framed by one versed on techni­ cal matters. The enforcement must of course be the same. Few.people un­ derstand technical ways because you have to be educated,in that line. - The present law 'enables corpora­ tions "to give great bonuses to their employees to escape the payment Of income and excess profits tax.

Last year g8,000,000 was appropriated by < con­ gress for this work and it was all spent it. six months and the work had to stop until more money was provid­ ed. ■ During the six month* 'examination it was discovered that individuals had paid in $18,006,000 more .than" they should.. The only way this money can be returned is by a special act of con­ gress. Of course several millions Were found due to government and this will be collected as it should be. H a tax­ payer is underpaid his re.tum is sent back but in mighty few Cases have we ever heard of any notice being sent Where over-payment was made. Sim­ pler tax blanks would come nearer bringing in the correct amount. It would be more satisfactory tmthe tax­ payer and would enable the [govern­ ment to do Away with hundreds of job holders that are necessary to care for the extra work by the complicated blank. With the government fiddeling a- way money as we see done nowa­ days the average taxpayer looses heart in his government. If the mon­ ey was used to good advantage prob­ ably many of the large concerns would not resort to the bonus plan to defraud the government. Some say as much as $10,000 went from ,thiB community ns income tax. At least one half was sent to be con­ servative. Why not plan to leave some o f this money at home? Did you ever think that you ate .entitled to 15 per cent o f your net income for church and educational work?-After you have deducted for your church contributions why not make up th* difference and give* it to the college for the endowment fund? If every income tax payer here did that he would be helping his community and at the same time Complying with the law . Keep it-iii mind to leave all you can of your 15 per cent allowance with the college next year. THE 17TH IS FAST.
