The present program calls for two 50,. 000-kw units to go into operation thb spring and early 1949. The new plant U located about 10 miles south of Dayton oo the Crest Miami River. The semioutdoor design places the boilers, air beaters, precipita tors and Id fans In the open.

Short-time rttifll of each boiler raises steam output to 550,000 lb per hr. Generators are hydrogen cooled, op erating at 12,500 v. This will be stepped up in the high-voltage substslion to 66 kv for transmission.

Already It la the. dominant element in cor economic Ufe. Already It Is^the major factor In gg ehances of keeping our fobs and of getting ahead. Here are some pertinent facts on this tax rovoluHcn:' L The tax load that our notion can safely carry bos. long since passed the danger point. Our capitalistic system Is In real danger .when ^ tasks take more than 20 percent of our national hfnmi> (or 20d out of every Income dollar). Beyond (hat point there are not sufficient dollars left In private hands for capitalistic America to raise the capital required to keep its Industry going. So we ue right now being nudged further and further into For today taxes take twenty-five percent of na tional Income (or 25f out of every Income dollar). I . rr. k The tax revolution has undercut the inccnfoes that help us to get ahead. I The group whose Incomes range from $5000 up j urns over about one-half of its total income ^ b Meral, state, and local tax collectors. Before the this group gave the tax collectors one-third fits collective income. V *harp contrast, the group of people with inunder $5000 pays the tax collectors 20% of k Income for direct and hidden (mostly hidden) taxes --against 18% before the war. This lowerbracket group needs Immediate tax relief but I believe most sincerely that persons earning less than $5,000. have a very vital reason for also sup porting tax relief In the much more heavily hit upper brackets. As you get ahead, you expect your taxes to go up. Taxes should be levied, In principle, according to ability to pay. But today tax rates rise so sharply that they virtually destroy all Incentives to get ahead, to save, and to Invest In new and untried enterprises that open up new Jobs. The progressive tax idea noto carried to punitive extremes has be come a destructive tax revolution. ' Today the VJ>., envied by all the world for the loealth it has toon under capitalistic iiwentives, has cut its incentives beloto those offered by that state tohose police methods strike terror into the hearts of ail.workers. Soviet Russia reward* successful managers, tcriters, and scientists better relatively than wo do under our present tax system. A revolution that sweeps away incentives trill quickly sweep aioay our free enterprise economy. The only substitute ever found for free incentives is the whip*and-lash compulsion of the police state. And no police state has ever been able to match the production of a free people -trith a free economy that gives adequate rewards to individual producers. 3. The tax revolution hits squarely the average American's chances of keeping a job and of getting ahead. If you make less than $5000 a year you may well ask why you should worry about a tax revolution that seems directed at the comparatively small group, about 10% of American families, who make $5000 a year or more.
