This situation isn’t covered by
Army regulations. But we‘re betting that
Butch will find a way to handle it without
spilling a spoonful!
In fact, we electric companies know just
how he feels. We have the same problem.
Right now, we’re being called on to bal-
ance good service and low, regulated rates
against fast-climbing costs and tremen-
dously increased demands for electric
power.
We’re doing it, too. Filling all our war
orders. Giving America far more power
than all the Axis countries combined. Push-
ing production up and up... . And besides
that, we’re balancing a big plate of taxes.
Don’t get us wrong. We know the need
of heavy wartime taxes. We’re proud that
business-managed electric companies paid
$620,000,000 in taxes last year. That was
23c out of every dollar you paid us —
8c to local and state governments—15c to
the federal government—enough to outfit
1,687,762 buck privates like Butch.
How is it possible to make so much
power and meet so many taxes at the same
time? Because of sound business methods
and long experience— because trained
men, women and management worked
together as a team.
But while we’re doing all this, govern,
ment and municipal power systems are
not paying a penny in federal taxes to kelp
win the war.
Shouldn’t every one do his full share?
