About one-half of the governmental purchase orders are in the amount of $10 or less.

Thus the cost to the taxpayer is nearly two and one-half i times the original cost of the ar-icle ar-icle purchased. No business, governmental or other, can hope to continue in business on any such an overhead cost as this. Who is to be blamed for this sad state of affairs? The American Ameri-can citizen must assume the first blame. Why? Because the constitution of the United States did not. and could not possibly, foresee all the blunders that could be made by profesional politicians and therefore could not protect the taxpayer, but the ' tuiiMiiuuun aia give me citizen the right to protect this country from such poor business tactics on the part of our officials and we have all, or most of us, been negligent in watching our own interests in this respect. Every dollar that is paid out through our governmental activities activ-ities comes directly out of the taxpayer's pocket. Therefore, it is definitely our business to guard the manner in which our officials spend our money. The direct blame for this condition con-dition rests with our duly elected elect-ed official, who, through the last two decades, have not taken into consideration the detrimental detrimen-tal effect of high taxes on the over-all national welfare. Many of the unnecessary costs were created primarily as a means of getting votes. After exhausting ex-hausting all the legitimate avenues ave-nues of taxation, they put the government into competition with private business so they could put more people on the Federal payroll and so enhance their own, and their party's chances for re-election. And the taxpayer is always the goat. There is an answer to this problem, but first let us analyze he situation further.

KIMBER, of Grand RapiJs, Mkh'., tells me a story that is, as he says, applkraWe to practkaHr anyone driving a car with the best o intentions to obey the law. Uc was driving home to lunch one day awl says he had no idea that hts car had picked up the speed it obviously had : picked up. lie glanced up into his mirror and saw a late model Ford n the rear that was rapidly Raining on him, and, he felt, with purpose pur-pose and intent He slowed down, but it was too late. The siren was sounding and in a flick of the eyelash a police car was beside Win. There was just one thing to do: "pull over to the side of the road." The officer parked lw squad car and came over. As he rolled down his window the officer j saiJ, "Going pretty fast, weren't you, Boy?" Mr. Kimber says he has always aimed at being a conscientious con-scientious driver, and that h respects thoss officers for he knows full well that if it were not for their alertness no one could drive without risking his own neck. He wanted to ' say this to the officer, but who wouldn't look for jt such an "out-" And what officer would regard k? So he let the officer "read him down," which he did ia aa unusually gentle manner. He pointed out how traveling at such a rate of speed could easily mean crashing another vehicle, hit a tree, or run into some children playing on the sidewalk. He called attention to how this latter could easily have happened ; in that particular neighborhood. Mr. Kimber said nothing until the officer had finished, j paying respect by his manner, then he replied, "Officer, you are entirely right. I could have caused a bad accident, and j I honestly want to thank you for stopping me before some-thin0, some-thin0, terrible happened." How did that officer react? Well, there was no doubt that he believed in the sincerity of Mr. Kimbcr's remarks. H reached for his pad, however, hut instead of writing down th usual fine in such cases, $25, he wrote $10. Mr. Kimber says h! never paid out $10 more willingly, knowing what aa accident could have meant. Yes, and it's too bad all drivers can't look at an oCicer and dis duty from the same point of view.
