Construction Crew
Here To Begin New
Tucson Power Line

Construction Of a huge power
line to carry $4,000 volts from
Parker Dam to Tucson has begun
with the arrival in Coolidge of
construction crews of Larson Con-
struction Company of Denver.
The new line will first be built
from Coolidge to Tucson and later
from Coolidge to Phoenix. 1t has
been estimated the entire con
struction program may cost close
to s75O,000.
The new line will not only serve
the city of Tucson but will bring
a block of 5000 KVA to San Carlos
Irrigation and Drainage District
which was arranged for early last
spring.

TO SET GOAL
FOR COUNTY EsA
FOOD PROGRAM

Typical goals for farmers in

new about Food for Victory pro-
gram viii be set within a few days.
II was announced by c. B. Hooper
supervisor of the Department Of
Agriculture agency in Pinal county.

San Francisco this week by FSA
Regional Director l.. /. Hewes. Jr..

tory" loans available TO small
farmesr hitherto ineligible for FSA
assistance. Mr.. Hooper explained.
since eligibility requirements have
been sharply reduced.
Supplemental loans will also be
available for the 1O4 farmers in
Pinal who are now FSA borrowers
THE program is designed to
mobilize the man power and land
resources of small family farmers
so that they can get into maximum
production and make a real and
vital contribution TO our war eff
fort" Mr.. Hooper said. Family
type farmers can increase their
production by a greater percent
age than larger farmers, and we're
going to help them do IT,
I'VE are particularly asking
small farmers TO raise their own
food to the greatest possible ex-
tent. and we are going to encour-
age production for home consump-
tion in every way we can. Every
pound OF food grown at home per
mits pound OF food TO go to city
families. TO our Allies, or to Army
and Navy use.
Since there is an urgent need
for food to win the war. the Farm
Security Administration is aban-
doning all policies OF restriction
and scarcity. We know that small
farmers do not want TO limit pro-
duction just because they can't get
a guarantee of a certain price. We
will make every effort to arrange
for marketing and outlets ahead OF
time. but we're going 10 urge farm
ers to produce first.
I'VE need as much production as
possible OF all essential agricultur-
al products in Pinal county. This
includes vegetables. fruits and
feeds"
The federal agency will make
special efforts to loan funds to
any farmer who will put in
garden and raise the food the
family has been buying. Mr.. Hoop
er said. The FSA will help buy
garden seed in large quantities
through purchasing associations.
Loans will also be made for
pooling machinery and for farm
repair cooperatives. as well as for
crop seed. fertilizer. livestock,
equipment, building and repairs.
The goals to be set shortly will
call for sharp increases in many
instances above former peak pro-
duction goals. Mr.. Hooper said.
The program will be pushed during
the next sixty days to make full
use of the early growing season.
Mr.. Hooper emphasized that the
FSA was going TO support even
more strongly than ever before its
efforts to see that farmers get the
standard of living they need II
they are to do this vital and patri-
otic job"

THE IMPORTANCE ,
OF "KNOW HOVE

When the British Empire stood
alone after Dunkerque, with the is
land fortress of England exposed
to the full fury of the German
attack and almost unarmed as re-
suit of the retreat from the con-
tinent, the crying need was for
weapons, almost any weapons.
Uncle Sam sent over a large part
of the guns he could lay hands on,
and the emphasis in our defense
production was to replace these
speedily and make more. Even be-
fore Dunkerque-from the out
break of war-the greatly expand
ed needs of our armed forces ne
cessitated stepping up our war
materials output in the designs
then existing.
But prior to that time careful
attention was being given to the
need for improving the technical
excellence of weapons. AS the op-
portunity to change designs pre-
scented itself-the most desperate
period when the nonaggressor ma
tions were virtually unarmed has
passed, although the need for more
and more weapons has not dimin-
ished-another objective also came
to the front: better and better
weapons in the technical sense.
A report by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
chairman of General Motors, shows
how that corporation, through the
application to the war effort of
management "know how" acquired
through years of manufacturing
experience, has been able to
achieve both of these Objectives.
Savings of thousands of tons of
critical materials. important saw
ings in man-hours, sharply reduced
costs and improvement of product
are four categories he lists in
which savings have been made pos
sible by the company's application
of industrial m ass production
techniques to the production of war
materials
The savings of materials speak
for themselves. Savings in man
hours have released men and ma
chimes for further vital war work.
Production rates have been acceler-
ated, engines have been increased
in horsepower, guns have been sim
plified and given longer life and inn
have been made in tank
construction, airplane propeller de-
sign and in the manufacture of
shells. The sharp reduction of
costs means war bill savings for
the American public. In addition
to these things, new methods of |
and service have been
developed.
Milford chronicle., 1942-12-04
BANKING DOES HITS PART

Figures released by the Twen-
tieth Century Fund indicate that
approximately $15,000,000,000 was
spent in the two years from July,
1910, to July, 1912, for the sole pur-
pose of enlarging existing plants
and building new ones; sum f1f-
teen times the plant investment of
the whole automobile industry in
1898.
A substantial part of this in
credible expansion of our produc-
tive facilities was financed by the
private banking system. The banks
have placed billions of dollars at
the disposal of the war effort with
out adding to the hazard of inf1a-
tion-billions that otherwise would
have been borrowed by the govern
ment, to be collected eventually
from the taxpayers. Moreover, on
every occasion that industry is able
to finance necessary expansion
with private capital. new assurance
is gained that we can come through
this war with the free enterprise
system intact. In this respect the
banks are rendering service that
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents.
Milford chronicle., 1942-12-04
A DIFFERENT STORY

Freezing labor in highly-paid in
dustries is a far different story
than freezing low-paid labor on the
farm. John Brandt, president of
the National Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers' Federation, points out that
farm labor frozen into its job
would soon be taking advantage of
the situation. Men forced to stay
in farm jobs at fixed wages, while
industrial labor enjoys high wages,
short hours and luxury living, can
be expected to become resentful
and shirk their work.
"If American farmers are going
to be able to produce enough food
to win this war, it is time Wash
ington took a realistic attitude to-
ward agriculture and adopted
program that will be practical,
workable and really helpful to the
farm men and women who ask for
only two things: the same consid-
Grafton that labor receives, and an
opportunity to help win this war
by cessation of bureaucratic theor-
izing, RECOMMENDATION and interfer-
ence."

apolis, Ind The most helpful ma

no book comparable in this special
field. Yet with all its helps this
book is simple and practical in its
advised methods. Not alone in the
minister's preparation is this book
useful, but it is just what is need
ed by all readers and lovers of the
Word. The self-pronouncing die
tionary and complete index are
handy, and there are so many other
features that a reviewer hesitates
to single out any one feature.
Books, chapters, verses, characters
of the Bible receive scholarly at
tention. The King James version
of the Bible is used, and may be
secured in many bindings.
Emphasis is given to two meth
ods of Bible study: the analytical
and the synthetic The one method
divides the. Bible into sections for
study, and the other assemblies and
harmonizes the teachings. The
chain reference is work of Won
der, and is a good testimonial to
the long hours of faithful labor in
the years of DR.. Thompson. 1t is
the only Bible in which all the helps
are right where they are needed the
most, either just opposite the Bible
verses or directly connected with
them and with the seven depart
ments of helps in the back of the
book. 1t is the only Bible with a
reference system so simple that
even a child could use it because
each reference is labeled. There are
no letters and figures or confus-
ing signs in the Bible text or blind
references down the center column
or underneath the verses as in al
most every other reference Bible. /
1t is the only Bible in which all the /
references are carefully selected
because of the thought contained |
in the verse. This enables one to
quickly find the teachings of the |
Bible on many subject of every day
which cannot be found in
any other Bible or Concordance. If
you want to know what is in the
Bible, and you need some encour-
agement to study it, you will make
no mistake in securing this extra
ordinary edition.

TAXES WILL BE INCREASED

The Government deficit naturally
imposes many strange taxes upon
the people. The Government is
trying to devise ways and methods
so that a big hunk of the deficit
will be assimilated in the coming
year.
About Is billion dollars will be
tucked onto the 1943 tax liability.
This is a part of the effort to check
imitation. If prices advance next
year, or in future years, it will
bring on infiation-that's what
Washington tells us.
For the past eight years the Ad-
ministration, with the help of Con-
gress, has increased the "excise"
taxes, and these taxes are laid upon
specified commodities or services.
The reason it isn't called a sales
tax is that President Roosevelt IN
his early days in the presidency
went out on a limb and said that
the sales tax plan belonged to the
states. The states saw it first"
and the new deal brought out new
models of its own, and got the same
results through the excise taxes.
A huge burden of new tax levies
will be laid on people of moderate
and small incomes, and in order to
guard against defaults in payments
the neat little device being Matched
makes it necessary to pay the tax
in installments-"pay as you CO."
The problem in the future will
be, how are we going to pay these
tremendous taxes?
Large incomes of individuals
and heavy taxes upon big business
and big industry were pegged up
to the top limits in the huge tax
bill passed a few weeks ago.
