WOULD REDUCE
EQUIPMENT DUPLICATION

Many departments have purchased
thermofax, Monograph and other
machines which, because considered
the property of that particular de-
partment, are used, in many in
stances, less than 1919 of capacity.
These machines cost money and it is
mandatory that the number Of units
be reduced and maximum use be
made of those retained by placing
them in a central machine room in
each building. They will thus be
available to all departments as needed
and the costly practice of each de-
partment purchasing it's own can be
avoided.

THE CONSERVATIVE
CELEBRATION

The voices of Wall Street will be
heard in the new Administration. The
new appointment, so far as the world
of industry and finance was con-
cerned, was the selection of Douglas
Dillon formerly of the banking
house of Dillon, Reed and Co.., as
Secretary of the Treasury.
We are told that the selection of
DR.. Walter Heller as head of the
Council of Economic Advisers coun-
terbalances the Dillon appointment.
Heller. a professor at the University
of Minnesota, is highly competent
economist, an intellectual, and a lib
eral.
But the basic policies are deter
mined in the Treasury Department.
Who cleans up on what issue of which
treasury note-and what the interest
rate will be-are questions that Dill
Ion will determine, not Heller.
So far as liberals, such as Gov.
Orval Freeman of Minnesota are con-
cerned, they have drawn the most
difficult assignments in the new Cab
met.
Does all this augur well for the fu-
ture of the country? 1t may not be
too bad. Basically imagine / feel
optimistic about the course of the
new administration, because | fire.
quently find that many of its criti-
cisms of what has allegedly happened
in the last eight years were over
drawn.
There will be just little bit more
in the new Administration
then there was under Eisenhower.

the country needs.

other matters may come to your at
tention and will be deserving of your
careful consideration.

some people, may seem harsh to
others. Figures used herein are not
meant to embarrass anyone, my sole
purpose in such use is to prove that
an effective streamlining program
can be carried out.
We want Montana to be known as
the greatest state in the union Ill
which to live, work, raise and edu-
cate our children. If this legislature
leaves Helena, having provided funds
for government operation for the
next biennium; having picked up the
tab on supplemental appropriations,
and having arranged for payment of
the state deficit; as well as taking
care of other necessary legislation;
without one cent of increase in
taxes; it will go down in history as
one of the truly great law-making
bodies. If it succumbs to political
pressures to the detriment of our fu-
ture it will have failed the people
of Montana.
The decision is yours to make. May
God give you, and me, the strength,
courage, and intelligence to do those
things good for Montana.

Equalization; attorney general; sec
rotary of state; university system
liquor board; highway commission:
auditor; board of health; department
of agriculture; custodial units; rail
road and public service commission
registrar of motor vehicles; unem-
ployment compensation commission

Claim and warrant processing is
done by the board of examiners, con-
troller, and the auditor.
One-fourth of the warrants are
machine prepared; three-fourths are
hand prepared.
This duplication and failure to
make use of the best procedures is
costing the Montana taxpayers mon
ey. Money ill-spent in this area is
denied those departments so badly
in need. l strongly urge you to con-
slider the recommendation of the
legislative council that we consolidate
our departments into twenty; and
the recommendation of the budget
director that we have only eighteen
major departments. With such con-
solidation of departments headed by
competent, well qualified admins
traitors we will have taken the great
est step toward government efficien-
cy.

been a tremendous undertaking and
