Do You Want To Cut Your Federal Taxes? Something For Nothing You know that you can't keep drawing money out of your bank account without ever putting any in. The bank doesn’t play that way. This is also true of Federal financing. Every dollar spent must sooner or later be collected in the form of taxes. Many of these taxes are hidden, such as the $2.44 you pay on a S3O radio, or the 62 cents on the average alarm clock. These are in addition to the direct taxes of which the average citizen, is painfully aware. Tax money is necessary to run our government. But all too much of it is wasted by inefficiency, duplication of effort, overlapping of Federal agencies or appropriations for services to pressure groups. Heretofore, no one has known how much these government services cost us through waste and inefficiency. But some surprising facts have been revealed by the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government. This twelve-man, bipartisan Commission was created by Congress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman. The Army, Navy, and Air Force asked for S3O billions of appropriations after being told that sls billions was all the Nation could afford. The Army applied for 829,000 tropical uniforms at $129 apiece and homes for military personnel in Alaska at $58,000 apiece. Yet every dollar spent in such activities comes out of your pocket in the form of taxes. Fifty Federal agencies jostle each other collecting statistics at an annual cost to you, the taxpayer, of $43,000,000. Many of the statistics are of use only to small groups, or collect dust in government files. The Corps of Army Engineers 1 and the Bureau of Reclamation are expert at selling the “something for nothing” idea to the American public. Underestimation of costs appears to be their specialty. The original price tag put on the Colorado-Big Thomson project was $44 millions. Its final cost was $131,800,000. Such discrepancies, the Commission wryly notes, “hardly can be explained by increases in labor and material costs.” You may obtain information about how you can fight waste and inefficiency in our government by writing to the Citizens Committee for Reorganization of the Executive Branch of the Government, 1421 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, Penna. Also write your Congressman! Tell him you want laws enacted which will put into effect the suggestions of the Commission!

In the Mail Bag To the Editor, Syracuse-Wawa-see Journal. At a meeting last week of the Woman’s Christion Temperance Union, it was suggested that since our town received much favorable comment regarding our improved lighting system, that various organizations be invited to unite in a campaign for beautifying the general appearance of our town by urging that all bottles, cans and unsightly trash of every sort, be cleaned off, and kept off the streets, alleys and even the business and private properties of individuals. The town, by action of the Town Board has rules and regulations regarding this matter, but a little pressure from the Board might help a great deal in its accomplishment. Signed: W. C. T. U.

(18-2 t SYRACUSE ENDS SEASON WITH WIN No. 20 In a battle of county champions, the Yellow jackets ended a great season in a blaze of glorylast Friday night, when they nosed out Ligonier, Noble county champs, 41-39. After playing almost 30 minutes of the game and displaying no marked ability to hit the basket, and trailing at the threeminute mark by 11 points, Syracuse came to life, poured in 17 points in less than two minutes to snatch almost certain victory from the Red Raiders. The Jackets were behind at the end of each quarter (except the 4th) but did have the lead at one time by one point. Otherwise it was all Ligonier—until that final three minute period. Barnhart was back in his starting position for the first time since the county tourney. At about the four-minute mark, the Jackets were approaching a tie with Ligonier, trailing by .three points. Barnhart tied it up with a basket and free thrown Then Meek made two from the field in about five seconds to give Syracuse a four point lead. Ligonier then scored a basket, making it 39-4 , when the game ended. This victory made 20 wins and only one loss for Coach Millard Sink’s Jackets for 1949-50, and marks one of the best records of any team in the state. Meek scored total of 10 points, Kroh 9, and Barnhart 14. Darr was scoreless from the field but added 3 foul shots; Miller failed to score from the field, but added 2 foul shots. Syracuse had only about a 50 percent average on shooting foul shots. A large number of fouls were called. * Ligonier’s offensive drive was led by Deary and Grinnell, with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Both teams displayed some fine defensive work. The Syracuse Reserve team also won their game, 24-18.
