Probe 0n Taxing 0f Co-llps Continues

VANCOUVER, Jan. l8 — (CIP) _ If the nature oi co-opelat ve technique tends to block certain channels oi government revenue. ‘the duty of the state is to chang the incidence oi taxation, the ‘Royal Commission on Co-opera- tives, under the chairmanship oi’ Mr. Justice Errol M. McDougall 0i " 1. was told today.

L.H.C. Phillips, manager oi the Wholesale Society of British Col- umbia, made this suggestion as he outlined operations of the society to the commission investigating the quution oi taxation oi co-oper- atives. At prment, co-operatives are tax exempt.

Agreeing with E31‘. Parker of Halifax. commission counsel. that co-operatlves tend to supplant " rivate profit-making" enter- prises, Mr. Phillips said co-oper- atives were not “robbing the state and the state could ‘ reve- nus sources lost 'by increase‘ in co-operstives by placing levies else- where. ,

The state could replace revenue lostthl-cugh increase in co-oper- ativcs by raising income taxes and customs levies.

~Questioned by J.J. Vaughan of Toronto, the society manager re- plied lle did not believe co-oper- lltives should be taxed as that would not be “democracy? There is a “greater measure of democracy in ell-operatives."

Mr. Phillips told the commis-

sion that ii it was possible he would substitute “surplu.s" wherever the word "profit" appears in the pro- vincial act under which the soo- ietv is incorporated. The advantage the aocietv has in being a member of the 13.0. Co- operative Union is in helping to promote the co-cpcrative move- ment.

It is too early to classify the twin British and American offensive moves on both flanks on the " lgian bulge as resumption of the winter campaign.
