The Politics of Metropolis
Political Representation in Metropolitan Areas
Unless federation and political representation are developed in metropolitan areas, compartmentalization of local government and fragmentation of public administration will continue. The unmistakable characteristics of American metropolitan areas make them easy to spot: dense populations, urban in nature; industrial and commercial resources; one or more central cities producing the mononucleated or polynucleated pattern; economic and social inter…
Introduction to Municipal Government and Administration
Running for the City Council
“So you want to be a politician,” my friend said, with a slight lift to the eyebrows. Others wanted to know what the goal was. Running for alderman in ward politics and a partisan campaign must be a training ground for some coveted objective in the state legislature or Congress. You don't just want to be an alderman , some queried. “Starting pretty low down,” was another leading remark. All these and many more comments intrigued me, for they spel…

American Military Government
Total War and the Preservation of Democracy
construction as well as physical rebuilding must be undertaken. In a future made precarious by the atomic bomb, we shall have one little world or no world. All-out preparation for total, atomic war can have a profound effect on our democracy. Peace can give us the opportunity to perfect our democracy. Accordingly, three questions are submitted for consideration. First, what has happened to democratic government in the United States from 1888 to d…
Public Administration in the Atomic Age
On September 23,19..., in Roscommon county in the Southern Peninsula of Michigan, the county clerk called the local officials together at the court house. Of the county administrators, the sheriff, treasurer, prosecuting attorney, circuit court judge, register of deeds, health and welfare administrators, and highway engineer were present. Many of the township supervisors had managed somehow to reach the court house in spite of the streams of refu…
III. Federal-State-Local Relations
Like all other aspects of public administration, intergovernmental relations are undergoing constant readjustment to the times and conditions. War so alters conditions in public affairs that federal-state-local realignments are taking place from month to month. Never before have so many administrative operations at the local level been guided by so many directives out of Washington. Coöperative government by federal-state-local authorities has be…
The Housing Program in Ireland
Willow Run Produces Bombers and Intergovernmental Problems
Wings over Europe and the Far East are being spread from what was until last year mere Midwestern field and stream—Willow Run, now the site of the world's largest and most revolutionary bomber plant. Air supremacy for the United Nations may rest upon Henry Ford's adaptation of assembly-line methods from autos to airplanes. B-24 bombers now being flown from the hangars at the bomber plant are casting their shadows over the countryside round about.…
Central Control of Local Authorities in Ireland
fT HE trend of central-local relations in the Irish Free State (1921-1937) and Eire (Ireland) since 1937 has been decidedly toward increased central control over local authorities.1 A highly integrated series of administrative controls has been centered in the Local Appointments Commission and in the Department of Local Government and Public Health. The former has charge of the recruitment of executive, professional, and technical officers for lo…
The Vocational Senate in Ireland
Out of an Irish dilemma has come one of the most striking legislative experiments in modern government. After a short life from 1922 to 1936, the first Irish upper house proved so inept as to be abolished. Then came an interval of unicameralism, and now under the constitution of 1937 another senate has been brought into existence, differing radically from the old. In the early days of her independence, Ireland was confronted with the problem of p…

Anglo-Irish Accord
Constitutional Developments in Saorstát Eireann and the Constitution of Éire
Under terms of the Treaty of 1921 between Great Britain and Ireland, it was agreed that: “Ireland shall have the same constitutional status in the Community of Nations known as the British Empire as the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Dominion of New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, with a Parliament having powers to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Ireland and an Executive responsible to that Pa…
Constitutional Developments in Saorstát Eireann and the Constitution of Éire
The system of government set up under the Irish constitution of 1922 was of the parliamentary type. Provision was made for an Executive Council, some members of which were responsible to Dáil Eireann. The actual working executive was the president of the Executive Council. The old constitution also contemplated a group of expert ministers who should be heads of departments, but who should not share in the collective responsibility of the Executiv…
Recent Trends in Local Government in Michigan
During the first five months of 1935, interest in local governmental problems in Michigan was centered in the regular session of the legislature. The 1935 session should be congratulated on letting some measures lie fallow in committee and on defeating others. Among these bills were several which would have played havoc with the operation of the general property tax in local units. They would have provided for the blanket cancellation of delinque…

Investigating County and Township Government in Michigan
In response to public criticism of the operation of local government in Michigan, particularly in units other than cities and villages, the legislature, by Act 156 of the Public Acts of 1931, authorized the governor to appoint a commission of inquiry into county, township, and school district government. The commission was instructed to give special attention to changes that would reduce the cost of maintenance of such governmental units and incr…

Literacy and the Electorate
Expansion and Contraction of the Franchise . Between the theory and practice of the American Revolution there was a wide breach. The ruling caste of property owners retained control in spite of the legendary democratization of that era. Jefferson's declaration of the equality of man was not fully applied to suffrage requirements until the time of Andrew Jackson. Since then, suffrage restrictions of property, color, and sex have suffered the fate …
