NE SURPLUS GEARS, cams,
wheels and gadgets that have been
added to the origi-
! nal mechanism
were, to some ex-
tent, the work Of
congress, but most
Of them were the
results Of executive
orders to provide
for some minority
for which the orig
inal machine never was intended.
They were added also to provide
places Of employment for those
seeking government jobs.
THAT OLD, worthless, highly

tion on which it was erected-the
Constitution. All Of the fantastic
additions that have been made to
serve partisan political purposes,
to provide for minorities, to make
government master rather than
a servant Of the people, should be
discarded. 1t has become a power
consumer which calls for too many
taxpayers dollars to keep it oper-
ating. It is serving no legitimate
purpose today.

That crew Of master
workmen is headed by former
President Herbert Hoover. With
him are working men versed in
government, politics, in

have a keen knowledge Of what a
