ATTEND CONFERENCE OF IOWA CO-OPERATIVE DIRECTORS, LEADERS A number from this community attended the annual Iowa Cooperative Directors' and Leaders' conference held the first, of the week (June 9, 10, 11) at Templar Park Lodge, Spirit Lake, sponsored by the Iowa Institute of Cooperation with Iowa State College, The American Institute of Cooperation and the Omaha Bank of Cooperatives as co-sponsors, Earl King, educational director of the Iowa Institute of Cooperation, was chairman of the conference, which was attended by about 250. The theme of the entire three day session was centered on F1- nance, concluding with the problems and necessity of education.

"The Co-operative Tax Issue" was thoroughly explained by Geo. Wans of the Farm Credi: Administration of Washington D. C. Mr. Waas stated that unde: the new tax law of last October, a farmer must pay income tax vine: on acual dividends received from his cooperative or on notices any accrued dividends propo: lioned and set up to him as a deferred dividend.

The disposition of dividends of cooperatives are checked and compared with the tax reports sent in ny farmers. Failure of the farmer to report any income received as a dividend from a cooperative or notice of a deferred dividend, will result in punishment by the federal government, Mr. Wars stated, however, only dividends of the amount of $100 or over, will be checked but if any are found in error then any lesser armount will also be checked, Prominent leaders from over the state took charge of the general sessions and discussion groups. Byron Cory of Mt.

(Copyright1952-Publishers Financial Bureau, Incorporated- Investors seem to feel that last week's Supreme Court steel decision was a victory for then against the labor unions. This, however, is a mistake.

The Supreme Court decision was a victory for every reader of this paper. It means that a President cannot tecome a Dictator without an express Act of Congress, and that this Act must be constitutional. Just now, with A President friendly to the labor leaders, they are disappointed; but these labor leaders should realize that the time may come when someone may be President who is unfriendly to Labor. If the Supreme Court had upheld the selzure of the steel industry. it could then become very harmful to Labor.

Therefore, all should become Immune to these strikes. They have been with us since the days of Cain and Abel and will continue for another 1,000 years. Pension Funds for Workers One of the basic problems now connected with strikes applies to Pension Funds for employees. Naturally, I feel that pensions have their usefulness in the case of falthful executives and employees of long standing. Like everything else in this world they have, however, disadvantages as well as advantages.

I surely belleve that all Pension Plans should be approved by the stockholders before adoption and should be very carefully considered from every angle. Unfortunately, too many executives are rushing these Pension Plans In order to "get aboard" themselves. Two Different Plans The first question for a corporation to decide regarding pensions is whether (1) to have the Fund administered by a bank, or (2) to have It handled by an Insurance company. A corporation which is willing to consult a courageous and experienced Investanent Adviser constantly, can secure higher rate of interest for the employees and can vary the payments according to business conditions and, at times, buy some of its own stock, by having the Fund administered by 3 bank. This I advise for my own companies.

If, however, there is a temptation to buy too many stocks at critical time like this, it would be better to use an insurance company. By so doing the corporation would avoid perilous kickbacks due to the shrinkage of assets by a carelessly self-administered Pension Fund. Is This 1 Request Crazy? Among letters from renders I am asked: "Why pensions for executives and everyone else but the stockholders?" One suggestion is that stockholders of 20 years or more should under certain circumstances be entitled to a pension! I am not now advocating this, but it may be a' fair question. I don't know. The subject of "Pensions for Stockholders" could well be one for discussion at conventions and government tax conferences.

The Federal Treasury allows corporations to deduct, as an expense, their contributions to Pension Funds for officers and employees. But why not allow this (which means that Uncle Sam now pays of the contribution to a Pension Fund) for faithful stockholders of 20 years standing? An Important Warning Without now taking sides in any pension discussion, I must remind corporation officials of this: Since the approval by stockholders should be secured to get pensions for officers and employees, the holders could block any Pension Fund which did not include them, the same as employees can strike for Pension Plans. One thing is certain either we fare headed for an unjust and unwise socialistic system, or else greater consideration must be given to both employees. as well AS to the stockholders who build the plant, pav for the machinery, and provide the working capital. The present unfair setup, with double taxation of dividends, could ulti(mately result in unemployment, due to insufficient capital.

Here is one compromise surgestion: After a common stockholder has held stock for 20 years, he could have the option of exchangIng it for a preferred stock, which would give him, in part at least. preferred security.
