For Nat Acme

ing the last 80 days National Acme
Company's backlog Of untitled or
ders has increased about $1,000
900 10 approximately 10000, 600,
the highest they have been in over
20 years.
The company's bank Of untitled
business has been increasing for
oeer a year. In August, . 1889,
before war began. backlog was
only about $500 900. II had risen
10 about SIS 100000 by the latter
part of November.
Monthly billings arc now Al rate
Of about 81 100000. roughly four
times what they were in August
and September. 1899. The COM
pany is now shipping about 40
machines a month. against 30 IN
SoDTGn7beT. 1870. New equipment
which IS on order will enable Ma
final Acme to increase shipments
10 about 30 machines A month.

State Tax Also

AS a result of tax changes, in
cludIngincreased rates, the taxes
on incomes of $1,000 will show
an increase over 37l7 per cent
above last year; on incomes of
$4,000, 22l2 per cent; on in
comes ofsS20.00O. As per cent:
and on incomes of $50 900, 5717
per cent.
In addition, in many common
wealthS. there is also a state in
come tax.
No matter how onerous the
taxes, it is obvious that the reve-
nu @ receipts will be insufficient
10 meet the peak expenditures of
government, including national
defense. In view of the needs
of government, maybe some citi-
zens will he indisposed to bold
down their personal tax liabili-
ties. Some. perhaps. will emu
late the example of southern
farmer who put his postage on a
heavy letter before having 1t
weighed. When the postal clerk
informed him he had used 3
cents more in postage than was
required, the client shrugged his
shoulders and said: IT'S okay,
il goes 10 my government"

Losses Esta blished

A taxpayer without any capt.
tai gains in the current year
may own securities purchased
years ago at higher prices.
Through selling such securities
and registering capital loss
he may apply a part of the loss
AS a deduction against his cur
rent earned income. dividends
and interest receipts.
A taxpayer may have eStab-
lished capital losses in the cur
rent year In such circum-
stances, il may be advisable for
him to register an off-Setting
amount of capital gains, against
which there will be no tax La

10 taxable income, and only one
half of those resulting from as
sets held for more than "a
months are so treated. The same
limitations apply to long-term
CAPITAL losses, which are de-
ductible from ordinary income
in the percentages stipulated.
This rule, however is limited by
the further provision that such
deductions should not exceed Is
per cent to 20 per cent of the
actual loss.
Typical Of the situations which
might induce tax transactions
are the SubiOined:
A taxpayer may already have
established some capital gains
this year and hence it may be
advisable for him. 10 consider
registering an offSetting amount
of capital losses and thus avoid
paying an income tax on his
gains.

Ample Capacity

Last week for example, the
Allegheny Ludlum Company an
nounced an expansion program
that will increase electric fur
mace melting capacity by 10000
tons Of alloy steel year. / am
inclined 10 agree with those who
believe that we have adequate
steel-making capacity. But cleo
trio furnace capacity has been A
sort Of bottle neck. furthermore.
the steel plants as a whole are
operating too close 10 capacity
to allow a comfortable margin.
Now that Great Britain seems
about to be furnished by us with
larger .quantiticS of war material
than ever. I've could probably use
a larger output to advantage.
Incidentally. our increased aid
makes it more likely that the
war will be prolonged and that
the need of our production re-
sources will not end soon.

Outlook Improves

Be that as il may our own
political and social outlooks
shows improvement in several
ways. MIR. Roosevelt has dele
gated some Of his authority 10
the new defense board. While
the board is less centralized
than il should be, as result Of
Joining a labor leader with Mr..
Knudsen. it is a step IN the right
direction and shows that the
administration is learning.
Most signs now seem 10 point
toward a real effort 10 retain
the profits system, and 10 eXpcl
Communists and fellow travel
ers' from positions of authority.
II seems TO me that the whole
defense program. broadly speak
ing. rests upon our business
leaders, under a system of COL
lective bargaining that must
recognize the rights Of private
enterprise as well as Of labor.
