VOLUME PAYS AGAIN
Last fall, a Detroit restauranteur caused some
thing of a national flurry when he cut food prices back
to those that prevailed in 1939. That is the year used
as a base by government statisticians who figure the
cost of living. Joseph Tuczak, the restaurant keeper,
ignored the fact that prices of just about everything
have nearly doubled since 1939.
Tuczak did not go broke, as his competitors pro
phecied. He did not restore 1952 prices, once trade
flowed his way by the publicity. In five months, he
has proven once again that volume pays on a very
small margin of profit. From sales of $900 a month,
he has been grossing up to $20,000 a month. At $900
he lost money on high prices. At $20,000 he is making
a handsome profit at 1939 prices.
Perhaps more important, Tuczak has brought back
the family habit of eating out, which had gone out of
fashion due to high prices. He is not taking business
away from anyone, he is recapturing trade that had
disappeared. His experience is valuable in these days
of inflation. It shows what one man can do about it if
he remembers to put his faith in volume, which has
built so many great American institutions.
$56,000,000,000 IN TAXES IN 1951
The Bureau of Internal Revenue reported recently
that the Government had collected $56,100,000,000 in
all kinds of taxes last year—the biggest tax take in the
history of the country. This Federal collection was
largely a result of more than $30,000,000,000 in income
and other related taxes, according to official figures.
Corporations in this country paid the next largest
share, $16,600,000,000. New York State provided the
largest collections of any one state, $10,400,000,000.
Illinois was second, Michigan third and Pennsylvania
fourth, in providing Federal revenue.
An interesting sidelight of the Internal Revenue
Bureau report is that about two-thirds of the total
1951 take was taxes witheld from wages and salaries.
Only about $10,400,000,000 was paid directly to .the
Treasury by the individual. In addition to individual
and corporate taxes, the Bureau reported collections
of $9,500,000,000 from miscellaneous taxes on such
things as alcohol, tobacco, luxury sales taxes and
theater tickets.

Sen. Taft Sweeps
Ohio Primary
(By the Associated Press)
Ohio voters pushed Senators
Taft and Kefauver into the lead
Wednesday in the primary skir
mishing for delegates to the Re
publican and Democratic national
conventions.
Tennessee's Kefauver had to be
content, however, with an even
split in the two big primary con
tests yesterday. His unbroken
string of victories was snapped in
Florida, where the south's favorite
son, Sen. Richard Russell of Geo
rgia, won a close popularity test.
Taft scored a clean sweep in
his home state, adding 56 dele
gates to his total and moving
ahead of Gen. Eisenhower in the
see-saw struggle for Republican
convention delegates.
The Ohio victory moved Kefau
ver into first place among Demo
cratic candidates ‘ahead of W.
Averell Harriman, Mutual Secur
ity Administrator, who had been
the front runner in delegate
strength, according to an Associ
ated Press survey.
Eisenhower, who was not en
tered in Ohio, was leading Taft
284-281, according to the AP poll,
before the Ohio returns. Taft’s
campaign leaders claim more dele
gates. They said he now has 404
delegates to 280 for {he general.
David S. Ingals, Taft’s cam
paign manager, said Taft now has
two-thirds of the delegates neces
sary for a first ballot victory at
the convention.
Salmon Industry & Union
Making “No Progress”
On Price of Fish
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Alaska
Salmon Industry, Inc., and the
Bering Sea Fishermen’s Union are
making “good progress” on a
working agreement but “no pro
gress” on fish prices, Federal Me
diator Albin Peterson said Mon
day.
He said changing fishing regu
lations from sailboats to power
boats makes an entirely new con
tract necessary.
Elmer Harris, an industry rep
resentative who took part in nego
tiations at Naknek, said delay in
reaching an agreement already
has cost residents of the Bristol
Bay area $100,000.
