The Montana War Council has

action as being needless and a
wrongful use Of money derived

Just what is to be done to stop
the constant increase in government
employees is difficult to say. The
Administration is apparently set on
employing mounting thousands of
people. Already there is tremen-
dous bureaucracy riding on the
shoulders Of the American people.
And the continuing cry of the Ad-
ministration is for more of them
In practically every state OF the
Union there are many more federal
employees than state and local en-
ployees. This is true in Montana
And yet more of them are being
hired
Many of them are performing a
doubtful service. Many Of them arc
far from having any real knowledge
of the work they are supposed tc
perform. Some of them have beer
failures in ventures of their own
Now they are out telling other peo-
pie how to conduct their businesses
It's a bad situation that is growing
worse.

more concerned about this exces!
of federal employees if they coulc
be brought to realize that every one
of these federal employees must bt
