THE JOBS PROGRAM CON GAME
Seldom a day goes by without one or more sanctimonious
Representatives in Washington expounding on the subject of
“jobs for the unemployed
It is, they maintain, a prime
responsibility of government to “provide jobs.”
The hoax that government can “create" or “provide" jobs
needs exposure Only business and industry can create or provide
jobs. If the good Congressmen really want to reduce
unemployment, then let them invest their money in a farm, a
factory, or a retail store; let them buy the equipment, machinery
and necessary supplies, and then let them hire workers to operate
the farm, factory, or store, offering products and services that
people want and need Real jobs are created by putting people to
work providing useful goods and services.
Instead of providing a genuine jobs program, however, our
brilliant Congress came up with a “Public Service Job program."
The idea was that by putting people on the public payroll — i.e.,
paid by the taxpayers
"unemployment" could be reduced
But what kind of jobs were provided'' In one state, eight new
postions were set up in the Highway Department The exact
function of the “workers" was not clear, but it was noticed that
every one of them had been active political campaigners and
supporters of the Governor.
»
In one city, two hundred “public service job" employees were
actually “put to work" delivenng campaign material door-to-door
for a candidate for the office of Mayor In another state, such
poor records were kept that auditors say there is no way to know
where the money went
And how much money was spent' Well, for the current fiscal
year it was $2.7 billion dollars.
One would think that such wide-spread abuses would tend to
discourage Congress from continuing the so-called “jobs"
program.
Not so.
So anxious are the "liberal" Representatives to boast about
what they have done (with your money) to "create" jobs, that
they are now planning to increase the spending for “public service
jobs" to seven billion dollars.
To complete the hoax, those Congressmen pushing for the
increase in “public service jobs" spending are the very same
Congressmen who have voted for huge cuts in our national
defense budget, which will bnng about a reduction of 71.000
civilian defense jobs between now and Sept. 30. 1977. Thus,
71.000 people now gainfully employed in the very important
business of our national defense, will be laid off.
Fortunately for the future and the security of the United
States (as well as the protection of our pocketbooks) there is an
election coming up this fall

Hiring
Practices
Discussed
Louis J. Wettstein, active
member of the Malheur
County Farm Bureau and
long-time Ontario farmer,
spoke to a group of 38 unem
ployed fathers who are
currently receiving welfare in
Malheur County. The meet
ing. held March 11 in the
Malheur County Library at
Ontario, was sponsored by
the Ontario Branch Office of
the State Public Welfare
Division.
“An Employer’s Expecta
tions When Hiring" was the
topic discussed by Wettstein.
A question and answer
session followed his talk. He
recommended that an under
standing of the rate of pay for
each job be cleared at the
initial hiring contact to avoid
any misunderstanding. Wett
stein also listed some of the
things he expected in an
employee, including de
pendability and an interest in
doing a good job. He said he
would prefer an untrained
worker who would listen
carefully to instructions and
be willing to learn, than one
who felt he already knew the
job so well he didn't need to
follow directions.
