For example while Mr.. Moores index shows produc-
ton in 1912 only IS per above that of 1889 the
Federal Reserve Board index had estimated is to be
60 per cent above that of 1899 The difference be-
tween these index numbers seems to be owing to the
fact that the FRB estimate is based in part the
increase in man hours and assumptions regarding
increases in production per man-hour. Mr.. Moore
study, however finds reason for supposing that
the FRB assumptions in this respect are reliable. He
shows that if man-hours excluded from the FFsB
estimate the result would be practically the same as
his own 1t is possible. Mr. Moore holds, to compare
the production of industrial materials in the peace
and war periods; but because of the enormous diff
erences in the nature of the finished product he does
not believe that it possible to construct any reliable
comparison of total industrial production in the peace
and war periods.
Mr.. Moores study is highly technical one. and
the statistics will have fight it out But if his find
ings are correct some extravagant pictures of the
immediate postwar economic world, as well as mis-
leading comparisons of production under war con-
ditions and under peace conditions, will have to be
revised sharply.

the problem which, next TO post

reasonable answer 10 each Of The
questions that men are asking
most Frequently.
0D-Why are the tax forms so
complicated? In my opinion. the
tax forms are needlesSly complex,
chiefly because of the politics and
radical social reform ideas which
have influenced our tax system.
These have got US all mixed up.
The income tax is too extremely
progressive and tries 10 soak
the rich This explains the great
efforts 10 avoid the excessive
taxes. and the difficulty of max
