Some New Approaches to State Administrative Reorganization
Some New Approaches to State Administrative Reorganization
HE PROBLEM of the reorganization of the executive branch of state government has been kicked around for very nearly half a century. After much talk and some action resulting in improvements in a good many states, the situation is still highly unsatisfactory, even in those states which have acquired a reputation for a fairly high degree of competence and efficiency in their administrative operations. It seems appropriate, therefore, to attempt to …

Legislative Reference Service for the Congress of the United States
Although the Legislative Reference Service in the Library of Congress has existed for a good many years, it was not until 1946 that increased financial support and increased staff made it possible for “L.R.S.” to render the service that friends of the legislative reference idea had long felt that it should. Under Section 203 of the Legislative Reorganization Act, the Service was authorized and directed to appoint senior specialists in various fie…
Meeting the Needs for State and Local Revenues in the Postwar Era
“The financing of government in the South presents an important field of study. The needs in relation to sources of revenue are greater in the South than in other parts of the nation. The South has relied heavily on the property tax to meet these needs, but it has also experimented widely with other forms of taxation. It has depended on federal grants to a great extent, though it has had difficulty in meeting certain conditions set up for some of…
Recruiting Administrative Personnel in the Field
Y EARS ago, Mark Graves, chairman of the New York State Tax Commission, made the observation that civil service does not guarantee government will get the best employees; it merely ensures that government will not get the worst. However inadequate the best of what came to the examination room, the results were accepted more or less complacently. Such procedure was inadequate in time of peace, but in time of war it provided an impossible basis of …
Fourth Edition of the Model State Constitution
After two years of effort, the Committee on State Government of the National Municipal League has completed its work on the new fourth edition of the Model State Constitution. This constitution was originally published in 1921, and revisions were made in 1928 and 1933. The form of the constitution has been improved, and the text itself subjected to a thoroughgoing revision, resulting in many important changes. Whereas the third edition had ninety…

Readjusting Governmental Areas and Functions
THIS volume undertakes for the first time to present a fairly comprehensive survey of the problems of intergovernmental and interjurisdictional relationships in the United States. In earlier times, when life itself was relatively simple and government was geared to the needs of a predominantly rural mode of life, relatively few problems of this character arose. Quite the opposite is the case today. On every hand, changes in political boundaries a…

Criteria for Evaluating the Effectiveness of State Government
For some time, students of state government and state administration have been puzzled, and perhaps somewhat dismayed, at their inability to measure objectively the accomplishments of the governments of the several states. The same general problem was presented from another angle when, at a round table held in connection with the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association in Chicago in December, 1936, the attempt was made to mea…

The Future of the American States
In any consideration of the future of the states, it is desirable at the outset to recall the circumstances of their development and of their entry into the Union. When the present Constitution was framed and adopted, the states were more than a century and a half old. At that time, and for many years thereafter, it was the states to which the people gave their primary allegiance. Under the Articles of Confederation, the strength of the states wa…

State Constitutional Provision for Federal-State Cooperation
Quite recently the activities of the Federal departments and agencies have been extended into the field of state legislation, many attempts having been made by them during the past two years to suggest the nature of legislation which they desired, and to exert such pressure as they could to secure its adoption.2 Attempts to influence the administrative policies of the states have rarely, if ever, raised any important constitutional problems; in t…
