Do You Want To Cut
Your Federal Taxes?
Efficiency AT Less Cost

Efficiency Is necessary TO reduce
the cost of government. 1t is also
imperative for u national pros
perity. The Commission on the
Organization of the Executive
Branch of the Government in it's
minute survey of the 1912 Federal
agencies. boards, and departments,
found O sad lack of effective house
keeping. This Commission, created
by Congress with the approval OF
President Truman, was headed by
former President Hoover. It has
provided q vivid picture Of the
weaknesses in our present set-up,
and suggested ways Of increasing
efficiency so that your taxes may
be reduced.
Today thousands of tons Of obso-
lete, useless records are stored in
steel cabinets In expensive Offices at
maintenance charges Of $2s per
year each, when they could be kept
in warehouses at q cost OF only
$2.15 per year each.
In 1928 the Department of Agri-
culture had about $4,000 employees
and spent less than S26 million. In
1948 it had $4,000 employees and
spent 1884 millions of your hard
earned tax dollars. In a single
Georgia cotton county, AZ employ
ees of Z separate USDA field SER
vices were handing out advice. A
Washington State county had 1874
Department agents and a Maryland
county had SO agents advising the
heavily taxed farmers. A Missouri
dairyman was confused and irri-
tated" when he recently received
contradictory advice from five gov
eminent agencies on how to ferti-
lie his fields.
These are q fen instances Of the
thousands discovered by the Com
mission where elimination Of dupli-
cation would give increased eff
cheney and better service at less
cost. II all Of the recommen-
dations Of the Commission are
adopted, the workers Of this
country would save between three
and four billion dollars in taxes
annually.

This and That
By Charles E. TroceweN

etable garden for the first time during
the war, grew red in the face as they
watched the rodents munching away on
their nice ripe tomatoes.
Our correspondent might try putting
out whole peanuts in place remote
from the regular bird feeding station.
Sometimes this dodge will lure the
bushy tailed ones from the regular feed
ing place AS long as there is sunfower
seed used in the seed mixture, however,
squirrels may be expected to be regular
customers.
One cannot blame them for this.
Sturdy Russian peasants find sunfower
seeds as delectable as American children
do chocolate candy.
During the last year or two real
drive has been made to acquaint the
American people with the goodness and
benefits of raw sunflower seeds.
The seeds are sold ready-shelled. Even
this way they look rather unappetizing.
The flavor is not bad, but scarcely to the
American taste. They will never replace
our sugar-loaded CONNECTIONS, whether
more hygenic or not.
The squirrel finds the sunflower seed
even sweeter than sugar candy. It is
right down his gullet, as the squirrels
say.
Perhaps the best thing for one to do
Is TO forget about them.
Evening star., 1950-03-08

What they are doing is raking through
the seed mixture for sunf1ower seeds.
In this process they toss spoonsful out
on the ground, where the birds find it
readily enough The songsters really like
to eat from the ground best. Nor do
they, as rule, mind the presence OF
the squirrel. He seldom harms them.
They simply move back pace or two
and eat what he has scattered around.
AS for keeping cats away, this is.
indeed, problem.
Perhaps the easiest thing is to do
little cunning for the rascals with
BIB gun-but without the BIB bullets.
The "bang" Of the gun is enough to
scare the boldest house cat.
After all, these are not very brave
animals. They were meant for the wild,
not for civilization. tThe fate of the
poor Oklahoma leopard showed this. He
took one look at civilization, came back
to his cage and died Of heart-break.)
The house cat is afraid, as he wanders
around, though he may not show it.
The cars, the lights. the noises, are all
too much for him. just as they were
for the leopard. The domestic cat Is
easily frightened, If one persists in
popping an empty air gun at him. It
takes little time and patience, but it
works. He doesn't like it and will stay
away.

Porty-Line Nose Drops

The Moscow party-liners are nothing If they
are not thorough In their effort to make
everything conform totally to Red totaltarian-
ism they have long since applied the theological
whip to politics, philosophy, astronomy biology,
painting music, literature, architecture, movies,
stage and even sports. Their latest target is
medicine. Soviet medicine, it seems, is still
cursed with bourgeois notions, and 1t needs to
be purged. That is to say speaking incidentally,
it must be cured of "the influence of anti-revo-
lutionary anti-materialistic and idealistic posi-
tons in the pathology" formulated by such
imperialistic reactionaries as Pasteur, whose
theories, Of course, have no other purpose than
ito defend the stability of the foundations of
capitalism"
Naturally therefore, all sound Russian scien-
fists are now making clear in Soviet medical
journals that the Pasteurs are anathema and
that the only right way to treat head cold
bad case of hives or such things as tunmy
aches is the Marx-Lenin- Stain way. Everything
else is wrong. Everything else is ideologically
unacceptable. Accordingly, just as the good
party-line musician will compose or play moth
ing but party-line music, or just as the good
party-line athlete will confine his efforts to
party-line broad jumps or to pole vaults that
will help the Cominform, so the good party-line
doctor will see to it that he vaccinates, or
administers nose drops, or prescribes pills, in
manner pleasing to the Folitburo Presumably,
rs soon as this is driven home to Russias physi-
clans, the Moscow biologists will shift their
whips to dentists-and after that, to people like

Surveying a Sick Industry

Although the miners have gone back to work
there is every reason why Congress should act
favorably on the Presidents recommendation
for comprehensive study of the coal industry.
Coal, as Mr.. Truman has said, is sick
industry" Excepting the war years. it has been
sick for long time. The wage increase and
the higher welfare payments which have been
won by John L. Lewis are going to make it
sicker. And the illness is one which must be
cured by governmental action, If it can be cured
.at all
The central fact seems to be that the coal
industry, operating at full capacity can produce
more coal than it can sell at present prices in
peacetime market. For about IS years prior
to the last war the coal industry had been
steadily losing money. During the war and in
the postwar years through at least 1948 it made
money. But it now looks as though the industry
is entering another losing period
This is one reason which explains the recent
three day week episode and the strike. Mr..
Lewis was trying to curtail the production of
coal and at the same time, to boost the basic
wage of the miners. In part, at least, he was
trying to prepare bulwark against bad days
to come. But due regard for the public
interest will not permit a monopoly labor boss
to control production of an essential COM
modify. That would be a ruinous course. If
the answer to the problem lies in curtailed
production, then that curtalment must come
about through governmental action.
There is no simple solution, however, in
curtailment of production. To do that would
be to raise a host of other problems If the
work week were to be cut back say to three
days, what about the compensation of the
miners? Their rate OF pay now is the highest
OF any major group, but they will not be salts
fed with pay for three days work week. And
what about those who own and those who
operate the $500 mines? Are the progressive
and efficient mine operators to be penalized
so that the less efficient may be carried along?
Or does the solution lie in putting the latter out
of business?
To raise these questions is to mention
but a few of the headaches which afflict the
coal industry. Coal is by far the most trouble
some and the most troubled of all our major
industries. 1t has been studied before. But
further and more comprehensive study, both
of the industry and of labor's role within the
industry, is necessary as a preliminary step to
any serious thought of remedial action.

More on the Question
of Arab Nation Armaments
Newspaper dispatches have fully re-
ported Egypt's purchases from Britain of
jet planes, heavy bombers, destroyers.
hundreds of heavy tanks and artillery Of
all calibers. Manifestly, equipment of
such range and striking power is in
tended for purposes other than internal
order and security. While there may be
internal unrest in Egypt-the inevitable
consequences of widespread poverty
the people are unarmed, and jet planes,
tanks and destroyers are not needed to
subdue them.
If it is not the purpose Of the Arab
countries to use these arms for second
assault against Israel, then one must
ask why they are being armed at such
fantastic COSTS Is it the belief of the
proponents of this armament program
that the Arab states can be regarded as
worthy and reliable allies of the demo-
cratic countries in the event OF another
world conflict?
If England could be persuaded to dis
continue the heavy shipment OF arms to
the Arabs and if the Arab governments
were disposed to expend their funds for
rehabilitation as Israel is doing, they
would more effectively promote the
cause of internal order and security as
we'll as the cause of peace in the Near
East and in the world.

Selfishness Held Key to Progress
The desire OF the individual for glory,
authority or material gain-in other
words, the selfishness of the individual
has been responsible for all the ma

all the wisdom he has acquired. In
fact, it is the thing that caused him
to draw away from his ape-like an
cestors.
Eliminate this desire. or curb it too
much, and all material progress and
endeavor for wisdom will stop, and man
will go back to way of life akin to
that led by the American Indian when
