Sunday | listened to a govern

"a group of greedy businessmen Z
was charged with supplying Japan
with scrap iron, oil and gas up to a
short time prior to the outbreak Of

Well, | remember this incident.
Public sentiment became so aroused

satisfy the home folks. We can con-
tend that the Presidents policy was

time to prepare and thus likely
saved many American lives. Thus,
the matter should have ended.

But that isn't all Of the astounding
story by any means Turn to another
column and read the article by
Tom Caverly, now editor of the
Valerian, but one time connected
with the OPA and later with sal
wage work ia the state. His inside
story of how needless employees
are constantly added to the burden
on the people is an eye-opener for
the tax payers. He tells how when
OPA was first set up one man, HIM
self, was to handle the work with
many volunteer workers throughout
the state Word came from Wash
ington to prepare to put on 81 en-
ployees. Vigorous protests were
sent in against this needless waste
of money but to no avail, says Cav
erly. He resigned Later he went in
to the salvage work Much the
same thing happened therein a
somewhat smaller degree. One en-
ploye was handling the salvage
work at state headquarters Caverly
joined him. County volunteer COM
mittees were working throughout
the state. TITS was working we'll
But the budget was again greatly
increased and two more men added
to the payroll. Caverly says there
was nothing for these men to do
but to ride around the state at five
cents per mile and at flat $500
per day allowance for living ex-
penses besides each mans salary.
But still that isn't all Later the
budget was again increased and
two more men were added, one at a
salary of $4,000 year. Protests fl
nally resulted in removing all but
two men from the salvage division
payroll of the state.
Things were moving along nicely
with most of the scrap shipped out
of the state, when word again came
that the budget had been set up to
allow the placing of an additional
six men on the salvage division.

An astounding waste and squan-
dering of the peoples money is re-
vealed in two articles printed else
where in this issue One is a re-
print from the Montana Taxpayer.
1t says that there were in Janu-
airy, 1913, approximately 10000 fed
eral civilian employees in the state
of Montana. They cost the taxpay-
ers 100000 a year. This num-
Der should be compared with 8,76l
state, county, city and town en-
ployees in Montana whose annual
payroll is S1l,496. 900
This reveals that tie colossal bu-
reaucracy that this administration is
loading onto the shoulders of the
people has more civilian employees
in Montana than all the state, coun-
ty, city and town employees COM
bined. And they are costing the
taxpayers nearly 100000 more
each year than is paid to all state,
county, city and town employees.
But that isn't all of the astound-
ing story
The article further says that as of
March, 1913, there were throughout
the nation 3,034,700 federal civilian
employees, with March salary list
of 1851, SAT 900. Figured in annual
payroll, it shows the annual cost
of that army of federal employees
would total 6 billion, 1873 million,
564 thousand dollars That is SO
per cent greater than the estimated
combined salaries of all employees
of the As states, 3,06l counties, IT,
792 cities, towns and villages, and
1867 township and district gov
eminent units What huge and
CHASTITY load has been placed on the
workers Of the nation to meet the
salaries Of this horde of federal
employees In the words of the

ence, the Administrator has erect

There was a drawing card to be
sure, in the presence of Oscar
Levant as soloist and the fact that
he would play the famed Gershwin
compositions the Concerto for
piano" and the Rhapsody in Blue"
But DR.. Kinder had arranged
program for the orchestra alone
that would be to the taste of any
seasoned concert goer beyond the
advertised age limit and quite a
number of these dotted the audience
whether they were "chaperoned" by
the "15-30's' or not.
Mr.. Levant is an acquaintance of
everyone present last night either
from his previous appearances with
the Symphony or from his other and
less visible activities. He was well
coined as such and seemed to feel
the responsibility of doing his part
toward the success of the venture.

The spirit was set for the or

Overture to Glinka's Russian and

stirring numbers in the symphony's
repertoire, and the Frescobaldi

these were finished the musicians

REASONS FOR GOODNESS

There seem to be two main req sons for this attitude" Fischer re- ported to Crowley.
 Il. The fear that American rep resentatives may send to Washing ton, through channels not subject to British censorship, information concerning the internal situation in India. This, the Government of h. dia seems to believe, might stim- ulate American sympathy for the Nationalist movement and critic ism of the Governments ineffect- i've administrative techniques.
 g. Fear of American postwar commercial competition. This con- cern seems to be shared alike by the British and many large Indian businessmen It has been so pro- nounced that the Mission thought it expedient, shortly before our ar- rival, to assure the Government that DEW activity in Indian is in no way concerned with trade promo tion.
