81 have been repeatedly urged 10 refer
to the subject OF he short ballot so
called and To- what I believe TO be the
truth that a complete ard thorough golng
administrative reform Is hardly possible
as long as the fundamental law of the
State requires the election Of seven state
officers Independent of each other. and
thus practically compCls seven headed
administration. This is, OF course, mat
ter which must ne left TO the Constitu-
tional Convention soon to assemble. q ma
jority of whom, 1t Is fair to assume, will
assent to the plank in the Republican
platform, which recommended
a substantial reduction IN the NUM-
her Of elective officials by the applca-
ton of the principle OF the short ballot
to tile executive officers OF the state.

viCtion that a reduction Of elective on
cials Is desirable as tending 10 centralze
power and responsibility because ! deem
it proper TO recall to the minds OF the
people OF the state the fact that the
sphere OF direct power OF the Governor
TO reform Is limited by the existing divi-
sion OF authority. and that consequently
he should not be held responsible for what
he cannot direct or control.
Assuming to-day the burden and the
responsibility OF administration. recogniz-
ing the obligation of all charged with
tho solemn duties OF government. appeal
ing TO the intelligent citizenship Of New

The only way that the public interests

There is another important reason for
adopting a scientific budget procedure.
Nothing is more disturbing 10 business,
more unjust IN its results or more de-
s,ruCtive to property rights than a con-
stantly shifting burden of taxation. In
1911 only S22S,600 was raised by direct
taxation for the State Government. while
I'm 1918 the tax levy for this purpose was
over S11 900 600 As between the city ard
State there Is no correlation in taxing
methods. the State levy on real estate
being relatively low but nuctuating,
whereas the city puts three-fourths Of the
cost OF government on real estate. cost
whioh is yearly mounting higher, our
present practice not only spells lnequity
20 property owners, but in many instances
Will ultimately mean a grossly unfair
rate OF taxation, or the virtual conusca-
ton by the Government OF the property
OF one class OF citizens, while other classes
are left free from taxation
Another practice that seems uusoun1
and misleading is the utilization Of the
inheritance tax for meeting current cX-
penses. An inheritance lax is a means
whereby the state, for its own purposes,
takes over a part of the accumulated
capital of the community. The question
is presented whether 1. would not b.
better practice 10 apply the Inheritance
tax To- state capital purpose such as
the making OF permanent improvements,
or to the reduction Of Indebtedness in
CURED for this purpose. An added OBJ
lection to the utilization OF the Inheritance
tax for current expenses Is the irregu-
larlty and fluctuatiOn IN the amount Of
he return For example, the collections
in the county OF New York In 1913
amounted i'm the aggregate 20 s9,701, 623,
while in 1914 they were S5l03257, a re-
duction Of Si59S,36i The effect OF
throwing this tax into the general fund
is thus 10 accentuate the fluctuations IN
direct taxes.
"Th, -lern"ut OF foresight in borrowing
is Also a part Of planning that has been
overlooked. Twenty years ago the state
was not a borrower, To-day Il offers
