STATE TOBACCO
TAXES JUMP 761
PCT. IN TEN YEARS

Chicago GLNS) Tobacco taxes
collected by the states increased 761
percent during the last decade-from
approximately $17,O0O,0OO to more
than S130,OO0,O0O, an analysis by the
Federation of Tax Administrators
shows.
Greater part of the jump was
caused by the increase in the number
of states making the tobacco levy dur
ing the 10-year period In 1882 there
were only 13 states with tobacco
tax; at present % states levy the tax.
The sharp increase in revenues be-
tween 1889 and 1942-from slightly
less than $60,O0O,00O to $130,000,00
is due mainly to effects of the war,
such as smoking by service men and
general increase in purchasing
power, the federation said. During the
same period, also, the two largest
populated states in the country-New
York and Illinois-adopted the to-
bacco tax.

Georgia, and Cleveland, Ohio, at
which techniques were worked out be-
tween government officials and the or
ganized labor movement for further
labor participation on local rationing
boards.
Attending both conferences and re-
sponsible for arranging them were
the labor laison officers of the Labor
Office, OPA, Washington, D. c. They
are John T. Burke, AFL; John w.
Edelman, CIO; and Glenn R. Atkin-
son, railroad unions.
These conferences are in line with
policy agreed upon by the labor move
ment and the two government agen-
cies to conduct region by region
conference to further labor participa-
tion.
The first conference was held Nov.
10 at Boston. Others are scheduled
soon for other cities. Labor can gain
valuable representation in price and
rationing regulation by cooperating
actively in the meetings.

FRIDAY, JANUARY s, 1943
DEMOCRATIC METHODS

Paul V. McNutt, War Manpower
Commissioner, says he considers COM
pulsory job legislation unnecessary at
present. Mr.. McNutt has the facts on
the manpower situation and his opin-
ion should put stop to the continual
agitating for slabor draft" espe-
cially as heretofore he has leaned
toward the idea that compulsory
placement of labor is necessary. Ap-
parently the facts have convinced him
that he was wrong.
But the advocates of compulsion
won't be stopped and are as busy as
usual in urging their plans. Most of
the plans are presented under the as
sumption that democracy cannot cope
with dictatorship without adopting
totalitarian methods. The record to
date shows that they are wrong.
Production records alone prove that
voluntary methods of recruiting labor
are working. The American Fedora
tion of Labor points out that the Axis
headstart in supply of fighting tools
has been overcome. 1t recites the tre-
mendous progress made in production,
far outstripping that of the Axis ma
tions and says:
"Unquestionably free labor can out
produce slave labor"
In the face of this admitted fact
admitted by anyone familiar with the
production situation-why does the
agitation for compulsory job control
persist?

City Sanitation Workers
Getting Wage Increases

Chicago (ILNS) Wages of mu-
nicipal refuse collectors and street
cleaners have increased in the nations
larger cities during the last year, ac-
cording to a survey by the American
Public Works Association, of pay
rates for Is selected cities.
Fourteen of the Is cities reported
pay increases in 1912, or assured by
Jan. 1, 1943, for truck drivers and la
borers engaged in refuse collection
and street cleaning activities. Aver
age increase, according to the survey,
is between and 10 percent
Work weeks of refuse collectors
and street cleaners of the Is cities
range from 40 hours in Detroit, Min
neapolis and Cicero, H., to 81 hours
in Richmond, Va.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

to $4,000 group will have 81 billion;
and the group above $4,000, about
IA billion.
"These figures, rough as they are" !"
the pamphlet adds, furnish a useful
guidepost for our wartime financial
policies. An ideal wartime financial
program would attempt to get, in one
way or another, all of the excess pur-
chasing power in the hands of each of
these groups. In practice, such pro-
gram is probably impossible.
Nevertheless, any program that is
even reasonably successful must be
designed to absorb large part of the
excess from each of the groups"
Cheering news on war production
comes from the American Federation
Of Labor's monthly survey, which
says:
"The Axis headstart in supply of
fighting tools has at last been over
come AS 1943 begins, the Allies stock
of arms will at least equal that which
the Axis can muster, and we have a
substantial advantage in airplanes,
fighting ships, tanks. Americas war
effort is 21a years old; England's only
little older. 1t took Germany eight
years to build her war machine. Un-
questionably free labor can out pro-
duce slave labor.
'In 1943, if we make the best pos
sible use of every resource, we may
expect to have so percent more arms
than the Axis by the end of the year
That shows our position as to sup
plies.
DAILY production of the Allies

about double that of Germany and

Study : Postwar Problems
Asked by Swedish Labor

Stockholm (ILNS). - Representa-
tives of women's organizations in
Sweden, together with members of
the Swedish Labor Federation, con-
ferred with Prime Minister Per Albin
Hanson and Gustav Moller, Minister
of Social Welfare. Formation of
committee charged with an inquiry
into Swedish economic and social
postwar problems, was proposed. The
work also should include a study of
reconstruction planning abroad and
the contributions that Sweden may be
able to make in postwar relief, it
was urged.

Pointing out the need for planning

the committee, whose appointment
was authorized by the last AFL con-
vention, Green said:
"We must start planning now for
the emergencies that will face us
when the war is over. We can't afford
to wait until victory is won Without
adequate preparation and a specific
program to meet that day of victory
we may fnd-as in the last war-that

opportunity for all nations. We want
social and economic security for all
peoples.
Labor to Show Leadership
"These are the things labor in
America is working and fighting for.
These are the objectives which will
spell the real victory and the perma-
nent destruction of the forces of hate
and oppression against which we are
now engaged in desperate war.

a N additional Is billion dollars
n will have to be raised in taxes
during 1943 above the levies now on
the statute books. This is the bedrock
estimate contained in current Public
Affairs Committee pamphlet, How
Can We Pay for the War? by Max
well S. Stewart, based on research
study by the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research.
At least 40 out of the 76 billions to
be spent in the fiscal year 1943 must
be raised in taxation if the govern
ment's price ceiling and other anti
initiation measures are to succeed, the
pamphlet holds.
The estimated total revenue from
existing taxes, including those en-
acted by Congress last October, is
only 25 billion.
Estimates of total income pre-
sented in the pamphlet purport to
show that the proposed boost in taxes
is well within the limits of practica-
bility. Consumer incomes are ex-
pected to reach 100 billion in 1943
while owing to wartime restrictions
only 81 billion dollars worth of con-
sumer goods and services are avail
able to be bought Thus, there will be
48 billion in purchasing power left
over that must be absorbed by taxes
or war bonds if imitation is to be
avoided, the pamphlet says.
This 48 billion in surplus income
was not found, however, to be evenly
distributed among the various income
groups. Taking into account ration.
ing, shortages of goods, and other
emergency factors, it is estimated
that the group with incomes of less
than $1,750 a year will have roughly
three billion dollars left; the $1,75(

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes dippantly, some
times recklessly.

Just so that the city slicker columns
won't have anything on this one, it
is the plan this week to indulge in
predictions about 1943.
1t will be hard year. That is, it
will be hard year, in comparison to
our recent time years. 1t will
be especially hard for those who have
been accustomed to having a great
deal of everything.
For a great many who have been
accustomed to having very little, it
may turn out to be very good year.
For the men in the fighting services
it will be war-and whatever may be
the conditions at home, they'll be a
thousand times better off in the mat
ter of food and comforts than. are
those men who have the war to win
by fighting.
Let's quit beefng about such things
as rationing, which really means
sharing evenly
What about the war? Will it end
in 1943?
Well, to take chance: Italy prob
ably will go out of the war within six
months-unless Germany has infl-
trated more than is commonly be-
lieved. Even then Italy may check out.
Germany can be licked this year.
1t isn't safe to bet that she will be.
But licked finally or not, Germany will
take one gosh awful beating this year.
Just one tremendous pulverizing.
The fact that no United Ma
tions troops are yet on German
soil doesn't make any difference
in this day of air power. Allied
planes are over Germany and
they will be there more and more,
with increasing blasting power.
IF we can learn the full lesson of
the use of air power as separate
power in separate element, air
power may sweep Germany into an
inhalation before the year ends.
Pass the ammunition and hope for
1943 knockout, but don't let down
on the theory that we are near the
end. IT'S GOT TO BE FULL SPEED
AHEAD!
What about Japan? Japan probably
can and will last longer than Ger
many, for many reasons, too involved
for discussion here.
Fantaticism has something to do
with it. Distance also counts. China's
increasing wallop will help more and
more. But we just cannot count on
licking Japan this year.
So, we can look forward and
we must, to year and more of
war-war that calls for every
ounce Of everything we can pro-
duce.
New weapons may help. We cannot
know what, if any, new weapons may
be in store.
The Pacific Coast announces an air
gun to fire ten thousand rounds per
minute in silence. Maybe.
We have one marvellous new gun
in action in Africa. Who knows what
may come, or what effect it may
have. That's among the unknowables
that can muddle any and all predic-
tions.
Will AFL and CIO amalgamate :?
Doesn't look like it. Most folks don't
sufficiently understand the tremend-
Gus problems involved. Also there a
few ambitions to be reconciled.

CAPABLE LEADERSHIP VITAL

No union can be effective without
trained and informed leadership at its
helm. A working agreement ar
rived at through collective bargaining
and negotiations offers stability both
to labor unions and their membership
that unfriendly office-holders cannot
affect. But both the drafting of such
an agreement, the negotiations with
employers incident to it and its en-
forcement or policing" depends on
