I have long thought there
must be a bureau of Discom-
bobalation in Washington.
This bureau wouldn't be an
easy one to serve on because
it is so exacting. They are
continually on the alert.
Looking for departments that
are running smoothly and
when found, something must
be done to louse it up.
This is to be noticed by
everyone with their income
tax returns. If too many
people make too few errors in
their returns, the tax forms
must be changed. Perhaps
this only seems to be so. but
I'll bet a lot of people will
agree that it is so.
•‘It must be the bureau of
discombobalation that has
come up with the ultimate in
bureacracy." If some task
can be ably done by one, with
a little extra effort we can
Figure out some way for 4 to
accomplish the same thing."
Then eventually each one of
the four must have four
more. Always remember that
as nature abhores a vacuum a
bureaucracy abhores an em­
pty r<M>m. When all the rix>mi
are Filled, then we must build
another in structure and soon
learn that we are still short on
office space.
Many departements are so
enormous that absolutely
nobody knows what's going
on. It becomes like a Roman
race with four horses to stand
on and only two legs to do it
with. Some things arc bound
to get out of hand. We have
had too many examples of
this in the immediate past to
totally ignore the situation
any longer. The immediate
responsibility o4 goernaaenH
Federal, State. County and
City is to make certain that
NO NEW bureaus are crea­
ted and those now present do
not expand further, and
eventually reduce instead of
INCREASE DEPARTMENTS
A few weeks ago I stated.
"As long as we are willing to
pay high prices, we will have
higher prices to pay.” This is
partially true, however it can
also be said. "As long as the
federal government conti­
nues to cheapen the dollar by
overspending, it will take
more dollars to buy cheap
things.” We can never have
a reduction in taxes till we
have a reduction in spending.
1 am trying to say. "Go­
vernment spends too much of
our money wastefully for too
many things.”
