- THE PtCTSBUBG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1891. S The Law on the Subject of Co-Operative Associations and Their Bights at Present, SOME OF THEM NOW FLOURISHING. One That Has Far Outgrown the limits of the Building leased for Its Accommodation. LEGISLATION OX THE INSTITUTIONS. Some Stiff Penalties Provided for Crookedness in Their Management. Judge "William "W. Carruth observes that a formerly well and unfavorably known character the miser has almost disap peared from society. He does not say, though, as he might, with considerable truth, that the cause is that modern econo mical environment offers so many induce ments, either for investment in something tangible that will earn money, or to put surplush cash into savings banks, or to spec ulate (sometimes gamble), that only a fool or a farmer of the olden kind will lock his money in an iron bos arid run the risk of being tortured and murdered for it. The judge runs over several columns in telling people of small means how they may invest safely in Govern ment, State, railway and county bonds, railway stocks, mortgages, etc., and especially commends savings banks. This is all well enough in its way, but he -does not reach a class to whom saving is im portant, and who can do little or nothing in any of the different kinds of investments of wnich he explains the working, and the Anti-Poverty Society ha. so far, either not put forth any tangible plan of operation, or people who need help do not take kindly to it. Doubtless the poor will always be with us, but among them is a large class that would like to reap something more than the fecant result of unintermittent toil. ADVANTAGES OP SAVINGS BANKS. Savings banks are good institutions for those who have stamina sufficient to allow deposits to remain until they form a sum sufficient for investment or active business, but many people are lacking in this qual ity. The Legislature of this State has pro vided a plan whereby people of small means may start co-operative stores, and tliongh Forae of them, perhaps the majority, may fall ty the wayside, as did tlio one started "by colored people on Wylio avenue a year or two ago, yet the leaven is vorking, and in time tlie masses may learn the value of combination as well as tho people or largo means, who not only co operate, but, as tho people know by tad ex perience, earn- it so lar by means of mo nopoli.t!e trusts and combines us to make it tin anuinc ot tvrannv. Corporations are a I'cce-Mty nowaaav. lor w ltnout tne accumu lations of the wealthy we should not only bo rcquued. as of old, to pay exorbitant prices 01 the necessaries of life, but would be with out railways, teleeraphs, telephones, etc., and even monopoly frequently without in tending it tends to tbe cheapening of articles of necessity. The trouble is that most peo ple arc so harassed in the struggle for exist ence that they do not acquire sufficient in telligence to control monopoly without fctrangling enterprise. It is admitted that even those political "bosses," Tweed and fcheppard, were blessings in dis guise. They have made the peo plo of New York and Washington richer than they would otherwise be. Though, if the people of thoe cities had co operated and done tho work themselves, they could havo achieved tho same results st much less cost. A REQUEST FOB INFORMATION. A sample of frequent inquiries comes from Phillipnton, Clarion county: "Please answer, to settle a dispute and en lighten many of your readers, whether co operative stores can legally sell good on credit, or be Mied at law for collect ion of bills." The act of 1S77 is the one governing the case. It was stated that tho Legislature last winter had enacted some further legislation on the su'iject, and Representative D. K. Jones was said to be the man who could tell sill about it, but 11 r. .Tones said it did not concern tho act of 1S77 That act is entitled one to encourage and authorize the forma tion of co-opersiti ve associations, productive nnd distributive, and under it any live or more farmers, mecliatiics, laborers or other persons may associate themselves for the purpose of carrying on any agricul tural, horticultural, mining, quarrying, building, mechanical, manufacturing or commercial business, or for the purposo of luanuCictuung, cultivating, raising, trading or dealing in all kinds of goods, wares, mer chandise, chattels, grain, vegetables, roots, fruits and other producc,or animals for sale, , food or other purposes, or for the purpose of buying, selling, holding, leasing or im proving lands tenements or buildings, and limy adopt any corporate name indicating their co-oporative character, and which has jtot be'n previously adopted by any other corporationformca under this act, provid ed that the last two words of such name &hall be "co-operative association." It is not lawful to use In such name either the words "society" or "company," and any vi olation of tins proviso by any corporation formed under this act renders each member thereof personally liable for all its debts. As the act covers 11 pages in the pamphlet laws of that session, those who feel like as sociating must examine its multifarious pro visions lor themselves. They will find them fcutlicieutly paternal for all purposes. Tho ection bearing on the inquirj, however, is lieru quoted. It is the eighth: RESTRICTIONS OF THE LAW. "That any such association may buy from, sell to, and trade or deal with any of its Members, or other persons, partnerships or corporations, but all transactions shall bo for cash, and no rredit shall be given or taken, except that such association may con tract lor and paj the wages and salaries of its employes once in each week, in cash, and except that such association may sell real estate, improved or otherwise, in such terms that at least one-fourth of the agreed prico shall be paid in cash at tho time of sale, and that not moro than three-lourths of tho agreed price, to gether with interest on the amount of principal, interest and charges owing, from tune to tune, at a rate not exceeding J per cent per annum, may be secured by bond and mortgage, or by promissory notes and 3nortgag-s; and may bo inado payable by fixed and equal periodical iustullments: 1'iovidcd, however, that such association may take or grant leases of real estate for such terms as may be nirreed upon, but no bucIi lease tor anv time exceedine one rear. or creating a credit or liability forany sum" ixceeuing ?jw, suau oe lawzui or vana until ihe same shall be appioved by a voto of tho members at any regular quar terly meeting theioof: And provided Jurthcr, that auyovedit given to any such association in violation ot the proi isions of this act shall cause a forfeiture ot anycredit thus illegally given, and that a notice to men effect shall be published by such asso ciation on its letter and bill heads, adver tisements, and other publications." Sections provides that members aro in dividually liable for debts of the association lawfully incurred to the amount of their un paid stock capital, and no more, but this liiust be after judgment has been obtained against the association and execution thereon returned unsatisfied in whole or part, nnd in case a member is made to pay beyond his pro rata liabilitv lie may sue the rest jointly or beverally, and recover tho ratable amount due from each member. The stock capital to tho extent or $23 be longing to u member, who is a householder and has a tamily, is not subject to attach ment or execution, or liable m garnishment for lilt individual debts. 3 UK PENALTY FOK CROOKEDNESS. Among other piovisions the minutes of the secretary are evidence of what is dono at meetings. Such associations must hold quarterly meetings in January, April, July and October, at which reports or the asso ciation's transactions must be made, and any ofilcer knowingly consenting to any lale statement in a report is to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction may bo fined not more than $1,050, and im prisoned in the penitentiary for not more than one year, or both, in the discretion of the Court. Profits must be applied, first, to the reduction of tho value of fixed eioili and plant of the associa STORES HARES tion, at the rate of 10 per cent per annum or more: second, in the reduction of preliminary expenses, if any, in tho forma tion of the association, at a rate of not less than 5 per cent per annum; third, in pro viding for interest payment at the anneal rate of 6 per cent on permanent stock, and 5 per oent on ordinary stock nnd reserve fund. Such Interest is to be credited to each member, but not paid until his stock is fully paid up; fourth, in the formation or a re servo fund, to which, also, all fines and for feitures must be carried and made appli cable to the equalization of dividend and to meet any other contingency that may arise, or to any other purpose voted by members on the recommendation of the directors; filth, in forming and maintaining a propaganda and social tund, not less than 2J per cent of the net profits, to be so placed. But time and space would fail to tell all of the provisions of this act, and It repeals everything in this line inconsistent with it, which, of course, is very comforting, con sidering that to remember it all without a list of exceptions is confusing to the lay intellect. SEVERAL STOEES SUCCESSFUL. Under this law co-operative associations liave flourished variously, some growing rankly for a time but being finally attacked by blight which withered them. The Wylie avenue colored people had a good time for a time and finally decided to eat their store, and no doubt enjoyed that part of the pro gramme as well as any other. There is a co operative store in McKcesporr, and another in the Seventeenth ward, this city, which may bo doing well for nught can be found to the contrary. There Is one in Mansflold said by a resident of the town to have been formed mainly for the working people of moderate means, and which appears to be flourishing luxuriantly. The proprietors started busi ness in a building which they rented, and which they now find inadequate to answer the demands of their increased trade, so they have decided to erect one of their own, and it is to be a good one. The members do not appear to be blowing their horn, but the evidences of prosperity in a venture in which every man is his own store-keeper arc said to be abundant. Agriculturists, horticulturists, real estate dealers, etc., do not appear to have formed uny associations contemplated by the law of 1S77. LATE NEWS IN BRIEF.
