brief containing proposals on how it might go about taxing the societies.Included in the five briefs presented at the close of a three-day sitting in Toronto was one from 88 Ontario distributors of milk and dairy products which proposed taxation of manufacturing or trading cooperatives who possess a definitely defineable sum as income.Five steps suggested by the dairymen were; A more detailed definition of cc-opeartives in Dominon tax statutes; prohibition of co-operatives\u2019 right to market the produce of non-members; more detailed definition of the term \u201cmarket\u201d; definition of necessary expenses and re-servfti such as are allowed in ascertainment of taxable income for other taxpayers; and definition of the \u201cobligation to pay\u201d so as to make it a \u201creal obligation.\u201d The five-man commission under the chairmanship of Mr.Tustice E M.McDougall of Montreal was due at Ottawa today where a new hearing will open tomorrow.Later sittings will be held at Montreal, Quebec, Moncton, N.B., and Halifax.Then after a two-week layover to conisde- the evidence, the Commission will give the last hearing at Ottawra late in March before submitting to the Government its report on whether co-operatives should continue free of income and excess profits taxes.Out of the mass of briefs, the Commission could draw these clearly defined arguments of the co-operatives ; 1.\tThe co-operative is a leader in better farm and marketing methods for better living with \u201cservice at cost.\u201d 2.\tWith co-operative transactions by, with, and for the members, there could be r.o trading profit *uch as made by a stock company.3.\tThat there was a vast différence in the operations of a co-operative and those of a joint stock company whose objective was profit 4.\tIt was not true that all co-operatives were exempt from taxation, or even that any co-operative was exempt from all taxation, 6.There was no inequality in the present taxation structure, since both co-operatives and private enterprises paid taxes on their incomes properly defined.And on the other side of the argument, these points stood out; 1.\tCo-operatives, because of \u201cunfair\u201d tax freedom, were expanding rapidly, imperilling private enterprise which could not compete.2.\tCo-operatives, unlike the small undertakings of years ago, now had reached full stature as trading enterprises.3.\tNon-taxation of co-operatives was causing a severe loss to the Dominion treasury, especially in wartime.4.\tThe \u201csavings\u201d of patronage dividends of co-operatives were in reality profits and should be taxed as such.5.\tThere were those who could use the co-operative movement \u201cto do away with personal ownership and abolish capitalism.\u201d

40 WHITEWASHING The league-leading Canadiens Juveniles last night handed the East Angus squad a 4-0 whitewashing at Angus to increase their margin of lead in the Juvenile Hockey standings to five points over the second-place rivals, the Air Cadets and East Angus.Goalie Jean Paul Dussault turned in an outstanding performance in the Canadiens nets to gain his first shutout of the year.He was given able support by his teammates, who backchecked furiously through the game to keep the Angus forwards from taking too many close shots at Dussault.After a scoreless first period, the Canadiens went on a four-goal scoring spree with Bernier, Protean, Morneau and Bourassa tallying.Bernier scored at C.10 and was followed by Proteau who tallied at I'O.OO.Two minutes later Morneau counted on a play with Bourrassa and still another two minutes later, the same players figured in another goal, this time Bourassa getting the goal.The third period was scoreless but by no means uneventful.Three majors were handed out by Referees Ivan Boisvert and Lapointe, with the five-minutes banishments going to Labbe, of Angus, and Bourassa\" and Morneau, of the Canadiens, for fighting.The Canadiens have a fine record so far this year, having won six out of the seven games they have played.The teams: Canadiens Dussault.goal .defence .defence .centre .,.wing .wing .Flash Koîîett Notches Brace Of Markers As Detroit Wings Hand New Yorkers 4-2 Defeat Interest in the current National Hockey League race today is centred on the bottom of the standings.With Montreal Canadiens secure in first place and Detroit Red Wings enjoying a six-game lead over Toronto .Maple Leafe, in turn .dx games ahead of the fourth place Boston j Bruins, attention has been diverted to New York Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks, respectively he fifth and sixth clubs in the standings.The two teams, battling one point apart for the cellar slot, tangle tonight at New York where the loser will slip into the cellar, probably for the remainder of the season.The question is how will Rangers react to Chicago\u2019s new defensive tactics which proved troublesome to rther N.H.L.clubs.The blueshirts dropped a 4-2 decision at Detroit last night which insured Wings a berth in the Stanley Cup play-offs and left Hawks the opportunity to climb out of the basement with a win tonight.Aging Flash Hollett paced the Wings to victory with two first-period goals, one a 65-foot shot midway in the period which rookie Goalie Doug Stevenson, playing his second professional game for Rangers, kicked into the net.The second refulted from a solo dash late in the session.Stevenson kicked out 16 Detroit shots in the second period, holding Wings scoreless.Kilby Macdonald slapped a rebound past Hal Lumley from four feet to make it 2-1 early in the period.Wings beat Stevenson twice in Detroit , .Lumley Quacenbush ,.Jackson Armstrong the final period, the goa^ coming from the sticks of Jud McAtee and Ted Lindsay,
