alY3. GUT TAXES BY CUTTING JOBS Emmerson Fears "Bureau- cracy" Rule Addressing the Illinois Chamber of Commerce at Chicago recently, Secre- tary of State Louis L. Emmerson . sounded a warning against the drift of the government towards bureau- cracy and the alarming increase in taxes. "The average citizen views with natural alarm the tenaciousness of the numerous boards and commis- sions which sprang up during the war', he said. "They continue to function and even to assume new powers and prerogatives. "We are rapidly drifting away from the ideals of the republic of early days towards bureaucracy. If this tendency is not checked I can see in the future a bureaucratic government which will assume executive, judicial and legislative powers affecting every citizen in one way or another and to- tally destroying the principle of the constitution which prescribes that the executive, legislative and judicial functions shall be entirely separate and independent. I can see a con- stant and alarming increase in the tax burdens of the people to maintain these burdens. "We must check this growing tend- ency to create new agencies to ad- minister every new law enacted. We must abolish, consolidate and reorg- anize, so far as possible, the agencies already in existence, and we must eliminate waste and reduce the num- ber of employes in departments which are necessary to administer the gov- ernment." Urging the need of greater efficien- cy as well as greater economy, he de- clared that government is not "a sin- ecure for the governing, but is for the good and well-being of the governed." "People have learned to respect ef- ficiency and to be intolerant of slov- enliness", he said. "The rivalry of private business has taught them to expect courteous and efficient service. The official who does not sense this demand is going to find that all the political wire-pulling he can do will not suffice to keep him in office. "Government must be more respon- sive in assuming humanitarian re- sponsibilities which rightfully belong to it. I have always thought it poor economy to refuse government help to many worthy causes, such, for in- stance, as maternity and child wel- fare work; and I am convinced that better provision should be made for the care of independent children. Certainly we should recognize our obligation more substantially then we have yet done to the men who are maimed or blinded for life as the re- sult of the war. They took the chance of wounds and death because their country called. I have seen too many of these men still in a pitiable condi- tion to feel that our national con- science should be easy."
