- 20 - 1. The honesty and efficiency of government depends on people. 2. Government at all levels has good people and bad people. 3. And the way to get more good people into government is to give them more opportunity to do good things. (3) The idea that a bureaucratic elite in Washington knows best what is best for people everywhere and that you cannot trust local government is really a contention that you cannot trust people to govern themselves. 1. This notion is completely foreign to the American experience. (1) Local government is the government closest to the people and most responsive to the individual person; / (2) It is people's government in a far more intimate way than the government in Washington can ever be. 11 7
