Dollinger, left, Intermountain district manager of the KING SIZED CHECK United States Chamber of Commerce points out to Harold B. Felt, president of the local chamber, the amount of money that could be spent by the people of the Brigham City area if congress would incorporate the savings recommended in the second Hoover commission report Hoover Report Could Save $660,000 In Taxes in Brigham City Trade Area Tax savings totalling $660,000 for the Brigham City trade area would result from adoption of the Hoover commissions recommendations for more efficient, less costly government, H. J. Dollinger, Intermountain district manager of the United States Chamber of Commerce told a group of local business men last' week at a special meeting. Dollinger said the figures represented this communitys share of the $3.5 billion annual savings in federal spending which adoption of the recommendations would make possible. He said the $35 billion in federal this income taxes collected year, plus other heavy taxes, are the direct result of just one thing too much government. He urged his listeners to become informed on the waste uncovered by the commissions task forces, and to write their representatives in congress as well as federal agency heads, asking adoption of the recommendations. Congress very wisely spent $2.8 million to have the Hoover commission find out whats executive with the wrong the branch of government, speaker said. But most of its findings are gathering dust in executive and congressional department pigeonholes. Dollinger stressecf that while the recommendations seem complex, they actually boil down to eight ways the federal government can save tax dollars. These are: J. Better ment in the ' fense; 2. Better mept; 3. More efficient government service management; 4. Getting the government out of business; 5. More efficiency in foreign aid; 6. More efficiency in medical services. 7. Less waste in programs for water resources and power 8. More efficient handling of special services.
