'. ., (Paid" Advertising) Middle Way 'Cooperatives-The Is Subject of Strong Speech by Congressman Voprhis of Calif. Coast Representative Tells Congress About Cooperatives and How They Work Representative Jerry Voorhis, Democrat of Calif ornia, made a speech last December before the U. S. Congress on "Cooperatives The Middle Way to a Better World," that has attracted a great deal of interest throughout the country. The speech is too long to print in full but some pertinent paragraphs are reproduced heresaid Rep. Voorhis in part: By meaijs of cooperatives moreover, the farmers have added to the total income of sericulture and kept in the hands of rural producers that portion of the cost of food which was once represented py un necessary middlemen's margins. The marketing cooperative is the farmer's sales agency. It belongs to him and represents his interest in the distribution channels of the country as no other type of agency in the world could do. It has meant, where the cooperatives have been strong, the difference between be-tween having as much as 60 percent of the consumer's dollar dol-lar reach the pockets of the actual producers of a food com-. modify instead of having only 30 percent of the consumer's dollar reach the farmer and the other 30 percent go into the cof fers of handlers and middlemen of one kind or another. First Retail Store. When the first cooperative retail store was started in Rochdale, England, in 1844, it was begun by those 28 poverty- stricken Englishmen as a means of raising their standards of living. They had tried without success to get increases in their wages. So they turned to the method of attempting to make those wages go further in the purchase of the food their families fam-ilies needed. Their experiment proved a success so great a success that as of today one-sixth one-sixth of the purchases of British Brit-ish consumers are made at their own cooperative stores, one- third of the purchases of Swedish Swed-ish consumers are made at their own cooperative stores, while varying percentages obtain in other countries. The fietilflcanee of this does not become clear until we realize real-ize that the root cause of unemployment unem-ployment and economic distress dis-tress in modern nations has been the fact that the people have been chronically unable, to purchase with their incomes as much as they could produce with their energy employed on modern methods of production. Therefore, any method which makes the consumer's dollar stretch 10 or IS percent furthea In the purchase of goods must be a direct contribution to the solution of the basic problem of this modern day, the problem of bringing Into balance the people's power to buy and their power tor produce. Clearly this is a ftiatter of the greatest importance." im-portance." But perhaps a still greater value in the little dingy store to Rochdale and all its sue cessprsdown through the years has .been. the fact that those stores has given to the people who owned them as cooperators a reeling or possession, of proprietary interest This little spot taj the great complex economic econ-omic machine'' has belonged to them.;. The feeling, toward it has been like that of a farmer toward his farm or a home own er toward Ms home. Oaly in ment on the part of the members mem-bers -of the cooperative in tne ownership of their businesses Farmers Purchase Tankers One of the best Illustrations of this that I know of is to be found in what the Indiana Farm Bureau Cooperatives have done in the field of petroleum petro-leum and petroleum products. Some years ago the approxir mately 100,000 Indiana farmers who compose the Farm Bureau Cooperatives purchased a fleet of tank trucks for the delivery of gasoline and other oil products pro-ducts to the farmers of that State. The savings effected, that is, the margin between what the delivery of the gasoline gaso-line would otherwise have cost if it had been furnished by the big oil companies in the usual way and the amount that it actually did cost when delivered by the cooperative trucks, was devoted to paying for the cost of the trucks. In 11 months all debts had been paid and the fleet' of trucks belonged outright out-right to 100,000 Indiana farmers. farm-ers. They then proceeded to purchase some oil wells and some river barges and to lease some pipe lines in order to supply sup-ply petroleum products from tle southern portion of Indiana to other parts of the State. This whole distribution system is now returning to the coopera tive members $1 each year for every $1 they invested in it. These 100,000 Indiana farmers own their local petroleum marketing associations and those associations in turn own the pipe lines, the refineries, the oil wells, the barges, the tank trucks. Savings Returned Now all ox the savings effected effect-ed by this cooperative distribution distribu-tion system are returned at regular intervals to the purchasers pur-chasers of these petroleum products. pro-ducts. And when we consider the economic problem as a whole, we can see the contribution contri-bution which the cooperatives make toward this solution. For this Indiana Farm Bureau Co operative petroleum system means mat instead of these farmers turning their money over to the oil monopoly to swell the surpluses of huge companies in Chicago or New York banks, the savings from the efficient cooperative system sys-tem increase the nurrfiaeino power of every rural community communi-ty in the State of Indiana, and thus continue to be a part, ot the active demand. On the. part of rank-and file people for the goods and services which they need. Every single person in those Indiana communities profits pro-fits by - this i result and every single manufacturing plant in the country and all the work-res work-res employed-r therein- some indirect benefit from this improved distribution -of the purchasing power generated by American "nmf?n;.i American: productioA iomeffespect it has been even ' KS!?10 more poignantthecause this ex-' !L JL , .. , ' perience of ownership has come t nce ?00P?Kives belong to eating oil. They devoted the savings, the difference between the actual cost and going market selling price, to paying off the cost of their laboratory so that it might belong debt-free to the people themselves. And this margin, the margin between real costs and inflated selling prices, proved enough to pay the entire cost of the laboratory and all of its equipment in the short space of 9 months. And even more important is the fact that because of this exercise exer-cise of the basic cooperative principle of furnishing the best possible product to the people,, a better oil was made available one which increased the life of machinery and added to the wealth, therefore, not only of the cooperative members, but of all of the other people in these communities.
