that they go quickly about their business

Taxes This Way
A group of rural electric coopera
tives are planning to build a power plant
in southern Indiana. If this were only
a local matter, it would be of no concern
to anyone outside of Indiana. But it n
far from a local matter. The federal
government, through the Rural ElecfTf-
fication Administration plans to grant
a 2 per cent I'll million loan to the In
diana group. The interest rate is far
below the rate the government must
pay on borrowed’ funds. All the na
tion’s taxpyaers wifi make up the dif
ference.
This is not all of the story. The co
ops have been purchasing energy from
a publicly-regulated, heavily-taxed, in
vestor-owned company, for which they
have paid 96,312,000 a year.
It is estimated that the cost of en-

On "Moonlighting”
»y In The Job Picture
By ROGER BAUSON
Babson Park, Mass.. Mary 12—According
to government figures for the most recent
year* of record, some 5 per cent of all em
ployed workers hare been holding more
than one job. This is known in labor cir
cles as “moonlighting,” a word that may
perhaps still hold unpleasant implications
such as taking jobs on the sly at sub-union
rates, robbing the needy jobless of a chance
to work.
ROONtlGHTlNG NOW
MORE RESPECTABLE
Today, however, multiple job-holding
seems often more a necessity than a sign
of greed. AlmosUhalf of the moonlighters
are family men between the ages of 25 and
44 ia need of additional income to raise
their living standards. There are clear in
dications that the typical moonlighter either
does not make enough money at his regular
employment to take care of his family as
he wishes, or else he has only a part-time
job as his chief source of income. An ex
tra position is sometimes the only way out.
There is another interesting angle that
shows up in the government figures. Very
few of the dual job-holders do their moon
lighting in their base-job field. They are

, held extra jobs, compared with only 5 per
