W EE D OUT THE DRONES
The Albany, Oregon, Chamber of
Commerce has sent a memorial to
Congress, asking for the dismissal of
unnecessary federal employes, hang
overs in useless jobs origiated during
or since the war. 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.
