Do You Want Economy In Government? :?
Junior Chamber Suggests You Do This

Edwin Depke is the local citizen.
He lives at 1919 Roxford rd.
The Jaycees, working with the
Citizens League Of Cleveland, the
Federation of Women's Clubs of
Cleveland, and the Cleveland Cham
Der of Commerce, have organized
themselves into the Greater Cleve-
land Citizens Committee for the
Hoover Report.
"We would like to have every
citizen in Greater Cleveland help
u.s." said Depke, that's the only
way we're going to get Congress
to act on these recommendations" "
"All you have to do" continued
Depke, ITO get into the fight, is
to clip the little coupon appearing
on this page and mail it to Jaycee
headquarters"
"Then if everyone of us will sit
down and write to our L. S. Sen
ators Robert A. Taft and John w.
Bricker, or to our U. S. Repre-
sentative, Mrs. Frances P. Bolton,
we can't miss.
The Hoover Commission, which
undertook the task of surveying
the Federal government at the re-
quest of unanimous vote Of Con-
gress, found that of the 40 billion
being spent in by Big Government
in 1949, 81 billion was wasted. The
waste was brought about by need
less duplication of services rendered
to U. S. citizens, and by other
general inefficient operations Of
government.
To date 20 per cent Of the recon-
mendations of the Hoover Commits
sion have been put into operation.
Pending before Congress at the
present time are 28O other recon-
mendations, which, it is estimated,
would save each taxpayer approx
mately 500 per year.
