KLl.UJ NATIN'U WASTE !
Mr.rA lhsm MlH.ilnMi mnuiini
posters, a.io the like, were published
nection with the efforts to Increase
promoie cunservauon. An equal numner 01 pumicatlons dealing vun tne
regular acimuwi of tne ucpartment
a total since April I of approximately 44,000,000 copies. Extracted from
Annual Report of .Secretary of Agriculture.
This is a typical instance. The government ntarts out
trying to eliminate waste. Jt does it hy creating a new
waste. The government wastes paper hy the ton, Jt i
.doubtful if any of the, 22,(00,X)0 emergency Farmer..;'
Bulletins were read. They, like most of government lit
erature, go into the waste paper basket. Hut the trees
are cut down to make paper, the printing presses work
day and niht at the whim of some bureaucrat, and the
wastebaskets of the country arc filled daily. It makes a
person familiar with the situation laugh when lie hear.
Washington, J). (!., bureaucrats and easy-chair fellows
preaching thrift, efficiency and economy to the American
people. We have End Dictators and Food Dictators and
Railroad Dictators. We move that a " Printing Dictator"
be created at Washington to stop the government printing
presses as tuey Uiu the industries tor ioitr days and
give the people a chance to catch up with their reading.
