BY REP. GEORGE sMArHERs

Several weeks ago l wrote in
this column about the size of our
federal government - how the
Executive Branch employs over
two million people Truly, our
government is today the worlds
largest business, and each of US,
as stakeholder in that business,
has the right to expect-but we
should not assume--that our gov
eminent well be run as economi-
cally as possible.
The maze and galaxy of exist
ing governmental agencies pre-
sent an unbearable burden to a
conscientious Chief Executive
President Franklin d. Roosevelt
recognized this when, in 1897, he
said, THE executive structure of
the government is sadly out of
date. /. +. Neither the President
nor the Congress can exercise
effective supervision and direc-
ton over such a chaos of estab-
lishments, nor can overlapping,
duplication and contradictory
politics be avoided"
Two years ago the Congress
created the Hoover Commission
to study the Executive Depart
ment and to submit plans for
bringing order from chaos, econ
omy from waste. The very thor
oughI studies made by the Com
mission revealed in detail what
had been generally realized
that our government is full of
duplication and contradiction,
carelessness and inefficiency-all
resulting in gross waste.
For example, two different
government agencies, the Army
Engineers and the Bureau of
Reclamation, each drew up plans
for the building of a reclamation
project at Hell's Canyon, Idaho.
Each set of plans cost the tax
payers quarter of a million dol
lars. Strangely enough, the plans
differed in many essentials and
by over SIS million as to the cost
of construction. On one recent
occasion the Congress appropri-
ated money for middle west
project on the assumption 1t
would cost $44 million-it finally
cost $l3l 100000. The Hungry
Horse Project in Montana grew
from an estimated $6,300,000 to
an actual cost of $93,5O0, 00O--
more than Is times the original
estimate.
In a single county in Georgia
il was discovered that there were
/ AZ employees of separate fed
eral field services advising 1900
cotton farmers.
Construction costs of govern
ment hospitals run as high as
| 1000 per bed as compared with
an estimate $4,000 per bed for
voluntary or private hospitals.
The revealing list of findings
by the Commission is too lengthy
to set out here, but it sufficeS as
evidence that something needs
TO be done to correct the situa-
ton. The House and Senate have
both passed bills which would
authorize the President to reor-
ganize his Executive Branch; the
differences in these bills must
now be resolved so that one au-
thorization bill will be passed by
/ the Congress. We should lose no
time in taking advantage of the
findings and recommendations of
the Hoover Commission for it
will ultimately mean money in
your pocket and mine. If we re-
store order and competency to
our government-to borrow from
Shakespeare - as day follows
night, so will economy follow Ell
