Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, for Transmission Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879. How Large Is Our Government? Last week we carried an editorial on the indebtedness of the federal government, showing that the interest alone on the debts was $17,960 per minute. This week we offer a cheering note and show what is on the other side of the ledger . . . what the government owns. According to the Congressional Record, in a state ment made by Rep. Edward Derwinski (of Illinois), the federal government owns: (1) 767.75 million acres of land, or about one out of every three in the country. (In Nevada it owns 85 percent of the land, in Alaska over 95 percent.) (Editor’s note: 53 percent in Oregon.) (2) 421,360 buildings with nearly 2.5 billion square feet of floor space in the U. S. used by the military and other government agencies. It also leases 96.4 million square feet of building space and nearly 1,676,000 acres of the land in the U. S., in addition to 133,000 acres of land and 16.7 million square feet of building space leased outside the U. S. (3) $122 billion of military weapons, equipment and supplies. (4) $15 billion of farm commodities and stockpiled strategic materials. In addition, the federal government has loaned $24 billion to veterans, home owners, businesses, farmers, foreign countries and others. WHAT IS YOUR PART? If there were any way of knowing the total value of all this, one could figure out what his part came to . . . divide the total by the latest population figure. But no one knows the value. The land has never been privately owned, in most cases, and hence no figures are available on acquisition costs. On the items that have been bought and paid for by the government the cost would not be a very good figure for present value. Government’s pro jects have usually cost a great deal more than similar ones of private enterprise. But if the value could be determined, would there be any good in knowing? Would there ever be a chance that it would be divided like a private estate? Definitely not! Once the government goes into competition with private enterprise it seldom retires from the field. What would it be like if the government kept only what is necessary for our national defense and sold the other items to commercial purchasers. Can you imagine the boost in income for the nation and the amount of income taxes that could be paid into the coffers to sup port those functions best performed by the government?
