it's own work. The total effectiveness
ought to be very much increased.
Each bureau chief will be respon-
sible for his own bureau. Each di-
rector will be responsible for the bu-
reaus under him. And the governor
will be responsible for the whole aggre'
cation. That is business organization.
Executive boards are to be abolish
ed AS it is now-and that is how
the government is so scattered-the
governor appoints one or two men,
bers of a board, the rest holding over,
and that is the last he ever sees OF
them. That is not business. They
come to the legislature every two
years for money and the legislature
to have. That is not business. You
can't have business management
without centralized responsibility.
So the executive boards are to be
abolished. But that does not alto.
gether take care of the situation.
Every well managed business as big
as this has committees to consult
with it's officers. The legislature in
one sense is the states board of di-
rectors. But the legislature most of
the time is not there. We need some
agency to keep the administration in
touch with public sentiment. The
non-executive board will do that.
Other matters are referred to these
boards. They decide questions af-
fecting public policy, affecting the
rights of individuals, like health
regulations. These regulations may
have all the force of law. We are not
going to leave it to any single Off
Ger to make laws These regulations
are of a sort that no legislature is in
position to make. The legislature
lays down the broad lines and the
boards work out the details.
The railroad and warehouse COM
mission is another body that makes
rules affecting the public, deciding
matters so involved that no legisla-
ture has the time to do it. And on
closer study it appears that there is
need for such a board associated with
every department. In at least two
cases board is needed for branch
of the department. Labor is one,
health is another
For the most part the chart tells its
own story Take the department OF
public domain. To that will fall the
management of the states properties,
!, the conduct of construction work for
the state. Lands and mines, forests,
drainage, highway construction and
building all go naturally together.
, The law will not be changed. Every
. thing the legislature has decided that
|, the state shall do will still be done.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-09-11

Whatever the legislature has for
hidden it's servants to do that will be
observed All the conditions and re-
strictions the legislature has thought
it wise to maintain will be continued.
The laws won't be changed, only the
administration will be tied together in
such a way that competent business
man as director can get the best re-
suits from all the bureaus together
and he will have good idea all the
time what they are all doing. The
legislature will know where money is
most needed. Nobody knows that now.
This does not do everything the
commission would like to recommend.
The commission would probably say
that the auditor ought to do nothing
but audit accounts and criticise eXpen-
ditures. The commission would very
likely say that one authority ought to
handle all the states educational
work. But the constitution hinders.
So the auditor will still conduct
land sales. But the land commission
er will get the property in shape for
the sale, and the forestry commits
sioner will get up the timber lists.
For the same reason the regents
will continue over the university. But
the regents and the board of educa-
ton will have to sit in one council
to discuss educational policies and
frame the educational budget.
untIId hoUn had
the governor appoint the director Of
finance, but the constitution says the
treasurer must be elected and the
commission leaves it at that.
The commission has tried to recon-
mend a plan that public opinion will
support and that can be adopted with
out waiting for constitutional changes.
This plan is all of piece. The
organization of the state government
into a single administration, the
merit system in the civil service and
the budget system in handling appro-
priations and expenditures, form one
comprehensive plan for putting the
states business on business basis. 1t
must be adopted or rejected as whole.
That is to say, this plan takes &C
count of every activity of the state
and hooks it up one way or another
with the administration instead of
leaving a lot of boards running at
large. 1t is possible to make other
combinations that would be as good.
perhaps to make better combinations.
When the plan is finally adopted
various things may be shifted around.
But whatever form the plan takes it
| won't be a business organization I'M
less they are all included. The form
may vary; but no plan will answer
that is less comprehensive than this.

- TATE expenses have increased out
of all proportion in Minnesota
~ and every other state. Taxes
are high-most people say too high.
So the Minnesota efficiency and
economy commission was called to-
gether last fall by Governor Eberhart,
an unofficial body of thirty citizens, to
look for the remedy.
The commission is ready now with
it's answer And that answer is to
organize the states business on bust
ness lines.
OF course, taxes have increased.
What else could you expect with six
ty or seventy independent govern
ments each going its own gait? Of
course, the state does not always get
what it should for the money. How
can you expect good team play be-
tween different branches of the gov
eminent when they have to go out of
their way to accomplish it?
To keep down expenses there must
be intelligent appropriations. Yet no
legislature can pretend to deal intel
hgently with appropriations when each
branch of the government puts in its
demands without regard to any other.
Organize the government first on
business lines. In that way you get
team play. After that it is possible to
talk about budget system.
The accompanying chart shows how
the efficiency commission proposes
that the legislature shall organize the
government.
On the left hand side are the pres
ent independent governments, boards
bureaus and commissions, leach
hanging by it's own string" On the
right hand side the same agencies are
shown organized as near as possible
in the same way that an intelligent
corporation would arrange it's bust
ness. All the scattered functions are
to be tied together in groups. Each
group is composed of those that are
alike in the nature of their duties OIL
the field they occupy. A single direc
tor is set over each group to see thai
the bureau chiefs play good ball and
that they exercise good business
sense in their management. The blu
reau chiefs, like the health officer, the
labor commissioner, the heads of the
institutions and so on, will supply the
expert knowledge of their depart
ments They will be trained men who
will not necessarily be thrown ou
when the administration goes. They
and the men under them will be pro
tected by civil service regulations.
The separate departments as We
know them now will be every ont
as effective as it ever was for doing
