Tax Examples

Corporation taxes last year
were equivalent to few hun
dred dollars per employee all the
way to over $1,000. In the case
of Consolidated Edison it was
S1.626 for each worker. 1t was
extraordinarily high for various
other utility companies.
Genera tors taxes
amounted to SS75 per worker.
General Electric's taxes were
more than one-third of the to-
tai earnings of all employees.

AIR TO DECIDE
WARS VICTOR

Thomas Campbell, who recently re-
turned TO the United States from .
six-weeks' study of agriculture in Eng
land, declared that the European war
would be won in the air-not on the
sea or on the ground"
In an interview. the internationally
known Montana wheat grower added:
Hitler cannot invade England, and
the British cannot invade Europe
IF the United States will furnish
England sufficient bombers, she can
hammer at German-held ports, ship
ping, factories and industrial and NIL
itary centers until she can force a res-
sonable peace"
Campbell said his trip to England
and interviews with Prime Minister
Churchill regarding farm machinery
and drainage were entirely on his own.
He carried letters from President
Roosevelt, however, TO British digni-
tarieS.
On the home front, Campbell fore
cast a long period Of unprecedented
prosperity for American farmers and
livestock men based upon this country,s
consumption rather than on foreign
shipments.
With 25 billion dollars to be spent
for defense" he said, there is bound
to be employment and prosperity"

CHUTE TROOPS
GUARD FORESTS
OF NORTHWEST
TRAINED MEN DROP FROM SKY
TO KILL FIRES AS THEY
START

The virgin timberland of western
Montana, northern Idaho and eastern
Idaho and eastern Washington will
again be guarded by parachute troops,
trained to safeguard the natural re-
sources of the northwest.
These stalwart firefighters of the
forest service, selected from the ranks
for their physical qualities and mental
ease, will carry on a project in fire
control pioneered last year in region l
which has its headquarters at Missoula.
A project which. although developed
in the secluded wilds of Blanchard
flats. IS air miles northeast of Mis-
soula, gained national prominence
through the press and news reels and
even sent army bigwigs scurrying out
from Washington, D. c., to witness
this latest brain child of one of the
most aggressive branches of the fed
eral government.
Lightning Is Offender
Fire control heads of region l and
region at Spokane, agreed at a con-
ference in 1889 that the cost of quell-
ing backwoods fires could be cut 500
percent if trained firefighters could
get at the blazes a few minutes after
they were started. Lightning was the
greatest offender in causing these fires
which could not be reached by fire
crews until whipped into gigantic pro-
portions by menacing winds.
Unfortunately, lavish as the federal
highway program has been laying
highways across America, the nations
forests are still without their paved
boulevards. The only free navigable
space over much of Uncle Sans forest
lands is the free air above the tree
tops. and that is where the forest
service decided to run their fire

fighters and smokechasers between 81

men who could face physical ordeal
without getting the filters, began train
ing at the Blanchard flats station as
region Is pioneer parachute corps. For
two weeks these men hardened their
muscles with rigorous daily calisthenic
exercises. Practice in the proper tech
nique of "bailing OUT of an airplane
was obtained by jumping off six-foot
wooden platforms built to simulate the
cabin door of a trl-motor plane such
as that later used In actual flights.
On July u, 1910, the first actual
Jump to backwoods forest fire in
the United States was made by Rufus
Robinson and Earl Cooley, the latter
forestry student at Montana State
university Ii his report to Fire Control
Chief Axel Lindh, Robinson describes
this pioneer achievement:
ON July II at 2 p. m. Merle Lun-
drigan asked me to go to fire at
the head of Martin creek. I started
collecting my jumping suit, fire pack
and equipment to take to the fire
The rest of the crew helped haul all
equipment to the airport.

Dick johnson arrived from Missoula
at 3:O5 with the plane. One of the
crew helped me dress and get into

As soon as the right tire touched the
concrete runway, Campbell cut all
switches and threw every ounce Of his
rugged frame against the right wheel
brake. This kept the ship from sverv-
ing to the left on the bad tire and
somersaulting.
For 500 feet the big plane slid along
the concrete, bouncing from good tire
to bad until finally the right casing
also burst. Rubber screamed on the
runway, sparks flew from the wheels
and smoke plumes from the ripped
tires.
The tire blew out Just before the
plane left the ground" Campbell said
There was nothing to do but keep 60

Insulation Called
An Investment One
Cannot Lose On
Home Builders Urged
To Use All They Can
Possibly Afford

Everybody likes to bet on a sure
thing, but not many realize that
they have the chance to do 50 right
in their own homes-the oppor-
tunity to match winter fuel bills
against the cost of insulation"
So writes Henry N. Wright, expert
on building construction. in Parents
Magazine. This kind of betting
differs from all others because in
the end you car never lose, no matter
how heavily you plunge" continues
Mr.. Wright. Meanwhile, it contrib
utes to the comfort and well-being of
yourself and your family. 1t is a
gilt-edged investment that cannot

dends higher than any stock. 1t is 4

and fascinating game with the
prize a substantial nick in the

vince yourself of this with a simple
analogy right from your own ex-
perience.
The most perfectly insulated OBJ
Ject man has so far produced is the
thermos bottle, which will retain
heat almost indefinitely. losing it
only very gradually through its
cork stopper and metal cap. If you
and your family could live in a
thermos bottle-or rather, If your
home could be built like one, with
walls containing an evacuated space
faced by heat-refiecting materials,
the only heat you would have to
provide and pay for would be that
required to warm the amount of
outdoor air actually needed for
ventilation. probably less than
tenth of the amount your house
now consumes. The other nine
tenths of the amount you are pres
emily spending for fuel would no
longer be needed for this purpose.
and could therefore be put away at
interest to repay your investment

When American glass factories
from Sandwich, Mass, to Pittsburgh,
began making glassware for home
use on a mass production basis the
country was flooded with it. 1t was
called pressed glass. It was cheap.
1t was pretty. 1t looked almost like
cut glass. There were enough

stores offered it as premiums. Pack
a-back peddlers sold it down coun-

and did not spend your fuel savings
on something else.
Actually, Of course, nobody Is In
the position to sell you thermos-
bottle construction If you wanted
It, nor would you be likely to want
TO tie up the required amount Of
money for the necessary length of
time. Nevertheless, exactly the
same principle applies to those
types of insulation which are avail
able except that none of these,
under any conceivable circum-
stances in which they are likely to
be used to conserve fuel, singly or
collectively take more than 10 or
Is years to pay for themselves. with
the odds all in favor of the re-
quired time period being less than
half of that.
Heating engineers and insulation
statesmen can predict fuel savings
with reasonable accuracy and indi-
cate, within the limits of engineer
Ing fallibility and personal preju-
dice, approximately how long it will
take TO recover a given insulation
investment, in given climate and
at given fuel prices.
Use All You Can Afford.
However, with all due respect to
science and salesmanship, nobody
Is In a better position than YOU to
know whether and where your home
needs insulation. II you are plan
ming to build, it should be obvious
from what has already been said
that your new home should have all
the insulation you can possibly af-
lord, bearing in mind that the
greater part of such an insulat tion

the cost OF your house, can be bor-
rowed on such favorable terms that
