during the time it is operating.
There has come to hand an un.
usually clear explanation of why
such production conditions exist. II
was made by E. F. Fisher, general
manager of the Fisher Body Di-
vision of General Motors, in re-
marks to employees when the Fish
er tank plants won the Army
Navy &c" 1t would be we'll il
these words could be transmitted
to every production worker in the
United States.
Says Mr.. Fisher: There have &C.
Cured in this and other of our
plants what may have appeared to
you to be inexcusable interrupt
tions in work. 1t certainly does
not appear on the surface to be
efficient operation when we work
long hours of overtime and then
find it necessary to close down for
a day or two while waiting for
materials or necessary tool
changes. Unless all the facts are
known such face-abouts may
easily be interpreted as managerial
plumbers, poor planning, or even
governmental inefficiency.
''But we cannot operate, in war
on the steady flow basis to which
we are accustomed in peacetime.
Frequently engineering changes
are required to meet the continu-
ally changing conditions on the
fighting front. Frequently ma
terials must be quickly transferred
to the other and, for the time be-
ing, more important projects
Sometimes schedules must be
changed in the middle of days
production to meet an emergency
requirement.
''That is war. That is what we
all are up against. But let us re-
member that the soldiers at the
front cannot wait. When our boys
in the foxholes are running low on
munitions they can't take a few
days off to wait for more. They
must fire every gun as long as il
will fire.
"That is exactly what we on the
production front must do-worh
to our utmost each day with al
the resources at our command
Material shortage may have han
dicapped us yesterday; tomorrow
the government might find it nee.
essary to alter our entire program
Nevertheless, our job today IS to
be on the job, producing all we
can the best we know how. Re.
gardless of the consequences, we
must gear our production to the
ever changing requirements Of
the men at the front-not to the
convenience of those of us work
ing safely at home"
This logical explanation might
well be given to every American
worker.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 16.
The U. S. Treasury. has recently
added about 5,400 deputy collec-
tors of internal revenue and clerks
to its staff, making a tax collect
ing force of about $4,000. Some
of them are in every section of
the nation wherever a newspaper
is published and they speak softly
and carry big stick"
The United Estates Government
made its first levy and imposed
income taxes 30 years ago. Indi-
vidual incomes were taxed and
only exceeded $4,000, and $4,000
in case of married persons. The
rates were very low in those early
years, but. they have climbed and
climbed until the individual or
married couple who manage to
"get by on low incomes are on
the spot this month of March,
1943.
Apparently the popular demand
Tor pay-as-you-go tax measure
may be traced to the fact that our
people with the smallest incomes
are convinced that they can pay
on a month to month basis, but
that they will not succeed in saw
ing enough up for three full
months taxes; therefore, Amer
leans being honest, they do not
want to default.
Governor Thomas E. Dewey of
New York, is saving his State
this year about $500,000,000 un-
der a new law. The State of Iowa
has cut its tax bill in half by State
laws, saving $5,0O0,O00 for taxpay-
ers. The West Virginia legislature
is saving $2,5O0,000 a year for its
taxpayers. Mississippi, Maryland.
South Dakota, Missouri. New
Mexico and other States have in
stituted tax reductions. States will
soon talk States rights to the

Soldiers AT Front Can't Wait
One of the most perplexing
problems confronting the nations
war production plants today is
personal absenteeism. This ques-
ton and means of solving it are
receiving the attention of high
governmental authorities, for the
combined absenteeism in all our
war plants and in any one day
represents staggering total of lost
man-hours of work.
Closely associated with absen-
teeiSm is the factor of rapidly
changing production schedules
caused by the shifting fortunes of
war. Officials admit that much
absentecism may be attributed di-
rectlv to EMPLOYEES belief that If
