THREE MILLION
TAXEATERS
Dallas News: As soon as the
war was over, we were told many
times, the swollen federal pay
roll lyould be reduced promptly.
But What has happened? Feder-
al employees have been given
shorter hours and higher pay.
And practically all of them are
still fed by the taxpayers. The
European war has been over for
six months and the Pacific war
for three months, but the federal
civilian pay roll is bigger than
ever. And now Congress is dis-
cussing, not sloshing off this hea-
vy financial load but increasing
it with further pay raises, some
of them reaching 100 per cent or
more.
A few bureaus have been trim-
med here and there, but those
lopped from their pay rolls have
promptly been attached to other
agencies, usually at higher sal-
aries. Uncle Sam still is paying
salaries to more than three mil-
lion civilians. Many of these are
efficient workers, but many
others are drones and locusts.
Even some of the more efficient
ones should be reconverted to
As we understand it, the A-bomb

private employment if the need
for the public services has ended.
The federal civilian pay roll now
t costs the taxpayers more than
eight billion dollars a year in
taxes, with another billion for
traveling expenses. There is
much additional waste, of course,
from the slow demobilization of
the armed forces.
Senator Harry F. Byrd of Vir-
ginia, chairman of the congress-
ional joint committee on econ-
omy, is convinced that the num-
ber of federal employees could
easily be reduced to an over-all
peacetime figure of one million
without crippling any essential
services. But it seems that few
of his colleagues are now econo-
my-minded. For the Congress-
man it is always election year or
the year before election year. He
hesitates to lop unneeded persons
from the federal pay roll for fear
the persons dropped will turn
against him and support an op-
posing candidate who promises

NOT A CHANCE
There’s many a typographical slip |
between the typewriter, linotype |
and dictionary, which bring grey I
hairs to editorial heads. Substitu- j
tion of “c” for “t” appearing in this j
column last week changed the whole
meaning of the word “inimitable.”
Now that the war is over, there
is hope that the usual holiday de-
