in which the members and patrons
are owners, with each having equal
voice in its affairs, Johnny Cox,
coordinator of the cooperative,
points out.
"The more an owner knows about
his business, the better are the
chances that he will make a success
of it. This is true whether the bus-
iness is owned by one person, or by
many persons,” Cox reminded.
He continued:
"In the Taylor Electric Cooper-
alive, the members and users are
the owners To make their cooper-
ative enterprise successful, it is
necessary for them to learn not
only what cooperation means, but
also how if works. To this end the
directors of the cooperative urge
not only members, but others inter-
ested in developing their commun-
ity so that electric service will be
possible, to attend the meetings of
directors."
COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES
He stated some of the principles
of the cooperative as follows:
1. Open membership and meet-
ings. 2. Democratic control, or one
member, one vote. 3 Invested cap-
ital gets no profit, only interest. 4
Return of gains to members in
proportion to their patronage 5.
Political, religious and racial neu-
trality. 6. Cash trading, no credit
business. 7. Education in coopera-
tion.
The board of directors, elected by
members, is a policy making and
supervisory body serving without
salary. Its job is to see that the
project is operated effectively and
policies agreed upon are carried out.
While the board is charged with
full responsibility for the manage-

“REA cooperatives do not handle
electrical merchandise, but in order •
to increase the consumption of ele-
ctric energy and to help members
to obtain the electrical appliances
needed, will cooperate with electri-
cal dealers in the sale of these ap-
pliances,” Cox said
"It will ve the policy of the Tay-
lor cooperative to keep up to date
information on household appli- .
ances and farm machinery that can
be operated electrically, to advise
the members in their uses.
“Through the cooperative, mem-
bers. If they so desire, may obtain
a loan, not only to wire their houses
and barns, but may also include a
modern plumbing system with run-
ning water in the home. Major
household appliances such as ele-
ctric ranges, refrigerators and water
heaters also may be included.”
Cox said more information rela-
tive to this plan will be given in
