It urges that such jobs be wiped o ff the payroll, and that the president be given power to dismiss every superfluous board and commission that clutters up the coun try and devours tax money. The tendency in federalization is toward political jobs that are piled upon the people, not to serve, but to receive. Political business costs too much and returns too little.
