Such findings are enough to cause
tax payers and citizens in general to
want changes made and the same busi-
ness jprijicfples applied to federal
work as is to be found ir. private
business. We talk of ihe manpower
shortage, and hero we are wasting
manpower by the hundreds of thou-
sands id hours each week. j

E* A recent report shows that federal
employes themselves complain of inel-
(* hr.t use of heir services. For ex-
ample in substance here is what was
gathered from such employes: i
“Work was manufactured to
and keep the g.rls busy and the
were instructed to make believe
were busy when any or.e outside
fre came in.”

promotion.”
When one employee complained
about rackets and lazy workers, the
complainer got fired and the one
complained about got a raise.” '
“One naval officer spent
day trying to teach a little girl the dif-
ference between affected and effected.”
Administration officers are tearing
their hair over the problem of housing
„ an incredible policy I*
Throughout the nation, strange
changes are taking place. Small com
inanities have overnight become roar-
ing industrial cities. And in other
cases, towns »,r cities have lost sub-
stantial parts of their populaton.
Some of the problems accompany-
ing these changes are easily appar-
ent. t Ore; that is not so apparent is
that of electric energy. The fac.li-
tica, to create and distribute power
take literally years to construct. Yet
ni; war plant has failed to produce
kucausc of seal city of clcctnc. power.
Norn* of the thousands of imigraCrg
workers have found a lack of light
and power for their new homes.
The electric problem has been
solved by pooling the resources of our
powei eompan os. Ir. other words,
when one company in an area faced an
overload, it called on a neighboring
company with a surplus of electric
energy. By such interconnection of
power lines, the electric industry has
kept the war elfort supplied with power
at an accelerating pace. /
Its record of success :s amazing.
Moreover, it has succeeded in the face of
unremitting political attack. [The pub-
lic ownership drive continues una-
bated. And the SEC is mercilessly
pressing the notorious “death sen-
tence” act for holding companies,
thus directly aiding, even in the war
emergency, the public ownership advo-
cates, by pressing for destruction of
holding companies, regardless of the
f:,ct that for 35 years or more these
companies on the whole have directed
the.r respectve groups ol privately
owred utilities with unpamallelled effi-
ciency and regard for the general wel-
fare. * j
lbesent governmental polic.es tow
ard the utilities, if continued, will in-
evitably result in curtailment of elec-
trie service. Tc Americans raised in
the tradition ol free enterprise, it is ir-
credible, that Ihe government at this i
time should imperil the very existence'

of one of our most essential ar.d pro
one certain department was ■ grebsive industries,
boss had a. better char.ce for a : This war is being iought for a
principle. That principle is freedom.
Free enterprise is as necessary to the
preservation of freedom as is freeedom
ol speech, press or religion. If th-j |
j drive to )?nd free enterprise in the
a hatf i utility (field succeeds, the end of free-
dim ir. all fields of endeavor will be m
s.ght. Hitler's state socialism will
have won the peace no matter who won
the war.—Tyler Telegraph.

OTHER EDS
ARE THINKING
Rationing Knickknack,.
Denison Press: Our Eating hab-
its aire going to undergo consid
erable change in the next few
tnonths ahead. We are not only
going to do without 'evern! thing*
In the kniekknack class, but we
are going to see our service cur-
tailed at cafes as well as to have
more dining out. Right now coco-
nut ia a thi^g °f Ihe past. Choco-
late and tea will join tke ranks of
coffee and we will do with less.
Napkins are rapidly passing out
of fare. Indeed, with scaricty of
waiters growing, we nay soon
find ourselves serving ourselves at
local eating plac*. (
The Press offers no happy
prospect for the gourmands with-
in our midst. 'With coconut al-
ready a thing of the past and
chocolate and tea to join the
ranks of rationed coffee, thwe is
a visible shrinkage in the con-
sumption of various kinds of food
that may mean an ultimate
shrinking of the belts on a few of
us. In fact, there is talk already
of reviving the role of the Food
Administrator from the
World War I days, however, Mr. J
Hoover worked with anothe j
Democrat-President Wilson. J,n
those days Mr. Hoover was not1
certain if he was a Democrat or .
a Republican himself. His feme
rests more securely upon his work I
as Food Administrator than as j
President. Maybe there is some
value in Mr. Hoover not having a
clear mind on his personal poli-
tics.—State Press in Dallas News.
There are more (than 23,000
miles of designated and main-
tained highway in Texas, about
World War So far. no one h‘al three'fourths of whtch can be
one
suggested that Mr. Herbert Hoo-
ver be called into service tc
serve once more as such an ad-
ministrator. Yet he might be
classed as all-weather roads.
This Company... as part of
the Electric Industry...is recog-
nized by the War Department as
essential to the War Effort. In
supplying Electric Power lor
military and civilian needs in the
area it serves, it meets an essen-
tial requirement of a people
working, producing, and light-
ing for freedom'
This Company is co-operating
fully with the nation’s salvage
