Answer Two Alarms

Oakland firemen were called
twice as the result of automobile
fires, but only one caused any dam
age.
The first alarm came as the result
of an automobile fire in front of
DR.. f. |. Baumgartner's office on
Alder street on Saturday afternoon,
but the blaze was eXtinguished be-
fore the truck left the front of the
building.
The second call came Sunday
morning about $50 as the result of
fire in an automobile in front of
the Oakland Motel The car, owned
by Glen Wilson, was damaged to
the extent of about $3.50.

der Just how many of us realize
lust how big. The Hoover Commits
sion found and it is so reported
in THE HOOVER REPORT" that
our Federal Government employs
10000 lawyers, spends billion dol
lars annually on paper work alone,
owns one-quarter of the land area
of the as states, has 244 billion dol
lars in loans, guarantees, insurance

Those are a few of the gigantic
realities of our government today.
Big Government affects the eco

can and does tax our salaries and
incomes, cigarettes and gasoline
but more than that, it issues di-
receives that affect our liberties.
Mr.. Hoover says of this book:
"One of the important purposes of
the Commission was to open the
doors of understanding of the
functions of our government to
our people at large. They are a
lesson on civil government of sig
nificant educational value. And
this book is a condensation of those
lessons and the arguments over
them. One reason for the high
standards of this presentation is
the men who did it. . These two
authors attended every one of the

many Task Force meetings. They
