Co-operators and the Co-operative News.
I would appeal ta the Ca-operators of Lincoln ta take the
W Co-oPcr&csee ¹ms weekly, the aflicial organ of the Ca-
operative mavement. As a paper advocating social
progress and presenting things from the ca-operative standpoint,
it is worth reading. As G. J.Halyaake says: "Every new member
af a store should be reqnired ta take the oflicial paper. This alone
would increase the circulation of the Co-oPcrrrgve ¹ws 3a,aaa a
year, If every new member took the paper, every old member
would be very much wondered at if he did nat take it also. Na
groceries carried into any member's house aught ta be warranted
unless the newspaper of the stores went with them.
Ca-Operation is like a bicycle. If those wha ride it keep going
they ga pleasantly and mvfftly, and travel far, but if they stop
they must dismount or tumble. There are many great measures
a statesman canld devdse, and which he would gladly have his
name associated with, which he cannot venture ta bring forward
unless there be educated apinien ta appud1 ta. He is abflged ta
confess that "the time has nat arrived. *'
This is in some cases
a cant excuse put forward by timid or msincere statesmen. Sut
the truth of the plea is taa obvious where the public are ignorant.
In ca-operative societies, in their smaller way, the same thing
is true. Every intelligent board. of directors know that they
could da much better far the society if the members were better
informed. There is nat a ca-aperaiive society in the kingdom
which might nat be twice as rich as it is,gf the members were as
intelligent as they should be. Without knowledge, all movement
is like that of the vane-matfan withaut progress, whereas co-
operation should resemble the sere'w' steamer and unite motion with
advancement. "

23. THE LINCOLN CO-OPERATIVE Q'UARTERLY
tlo-operators and the Sugar lax, and the
Forthcoming, Budget.
HE Parliamentary Committee of the Co-operative
T Congress are making representations to The
Chancellor of the Exchequer and urging him to include
the abolition of the Tax in his forthcoming Budget.
During the seven years the Tax has been in opera-
tion it has cost "Co-operative Consumers alone"
24,426,931.
This is more than one-ninth of the whole Tax. The
Tax was imposed as a %ar Tax, and was never
intended to take permanent form. Therefore the
time has now arrived for its repeal.
HODQSON PRATT MEIVIORIAI. .
COMMITTEE (constituted at a public meeting held on
A November zzth, zgo7, at which Lord Brassey presided)
has been formed for the purpose of establishing some suit-
able memorial of the life work of 5k. Hodgson Pratt. It is con-
sidered to be in accordance with lir. Pratt's own practice when
H~ring (and ivith what would undoubtedly have been his wish) that
the purely persorial part of this memorial should not be large, but
that the effort should be directed to the continuance of Mr. Pratt's
work by the foundation of a Scholarship, or Scholarships, or Prize
Essay associated with his name.
It is believed tha.t it may be possible to secure the placing of a
portrait, medallion, or bust of Mr. Pratt in the National Portrait
Gallery at a futrire date, and for such purpose it is proposed that an
adequate sum should be set aside.
It is suggested that the actual memorial should take the form
of Travelling Scholarships enabling workers of either sex to become
acquainted with technical and social development in foreign
countries, or the colonies, or in the endowment of a scholarship at
one of the Universities, with, it is hoped, the establishment of a.
Prize Essay on the subject of "Association
"or some other selected
theme which embodies the spirit of Mr. Pratt's many activities.
AH of these to bear Mr. Pratt's name.
A sum of at least $5,ooo will be required to effect these objects„
and the committee has complete congdence that aH who were
associated with iAIr. Pratt, and aH who have seen and felt the far-
reacbing results of his self-denying life, and who understand the
debt of the present generation to his inspiration. and example, wiH
enable the committee to find this su'm at. its scr'vice.
Lord Brassey is presiderit, Ixird Avebmy treasmer, aud' the joirit
secretaries of the committee are Mr J.C. Gray, , of the C'o-operative
Union, klr. J.F.Green, of the Internationa1 Arbitration and peace
Association, and Mr. B. T. HCH, uf the Wo'Ring Mcn.'s', Club aud
Institute Union.
Cheques and postal orders should be made payable to the Hodgson
