Illinois seems TO be starting on
the same path Kansas is mapping
out. The new Republican governor
has started on a simplification OF
government. One hundred and more
appointive boards, commissions and
bureaus will be combined under
either eight or ten major depart
ments, Gov-elect Lowden's forecast
says: The governor will appoint the
head of each of these departments
and limited number Of the more
important subordinate officers. Each
department chief who, in effect
would become a member OF the gov
ernor's cabinet, will be the respon-
sible governing head of his depart
ment and will be allowed to divide
mis- work and make his own assign
ments within his division. state
can be made simple,
economical and efficient--if the
people will.
