BORING FROM WITHIN

In outlining the aims of the Associa-
ton of General Contractors of Amer
lea to counterfeit the present inclina-
ton of governments ito go into bust
ness" Brigadier General Richard G.
Marshall Jr, of the Association,
pointed out that the American bust
ness man in many different lines Oh
endeavor, has come to figure out that
government employees, whose wages
and salaries he helps to pay as tax
payer, are becoming more and. moro
his competitors. He stressed the point
that work generally conducted under
government auspices is done under
methods that result in from 25 to 100
per cent more cost than it would by
contract.
1T is boring from within that is
more insidioIs than any political fight
ever undertaken" he said. "The ex-
tent to which the federal government
is in business has more than doubled
within the last five years SO that now
at least one person out of every elev
en- is government employee.
st is the purpose of the Association
of General Contractors of America to
bring to the attention of the people of
the country the great danger which is
menacing the industries and then, by
legislation, to endeavor to curb the
growing tendency of government to
enter into business.
"While l speak generally of the
federal government, the same is appli-
cable to state and municipal govern
ments. This policy has gained such a
foothold in the last few years that
some of the states are doing all their
public work by day labor"
Powerful political machines and tre-
mendous waste inevitably creep in
where public work is carried on by
officials without the check of compel
tive bidding which acts as brake on
careless expenditure of public funds
The government should be kept out
of all business Private individuals and
the private industries which pay the
taxes to maintain government, should
do the work for the government, and
should not be subjected to government
competition in the line of business in
which they are engaged. General Mar
shall has sounded timely note of
warning.

The orchid on her coat was wilted.
Viciously Glory threw it down into

She drove straight through
the town, out into the bare, open
country. Ahead Of her on the lone

down, against the high wind.
AS Glory approached she saw that
it was Stan Wayburn. She put on
