GOVERNORS REORGANIZATION
PLAN.

Last week Governor Richie
appointed a commission, com
posed almost. if not entirely, of
Democrats, to study and report
upon a plan of reorganization of
our State government, to the
end, We presume, that that economy
and efficiency might be brought
about.
The purpose for which the
commission was appointed is no
doubt a good one, but consider
ing the size of the commission
and the fact that it is partisan,
we can hardly expect any prac-
tical results to be accomplished.
There is no doubt that theus-
ands of dollars are expended
every year in carrying on the
affairs of this State that could
be saved the taxpayers, were the
state government as well organ
lied and its affairs conducted
along the close lines of bust
ness corporation. There is no
reason why our state government
could not be properly and eff
GENTLY carried on at less cost TO
the people than it is now or has
been for years In fact, as we
see it, the only reason more
economy and efficiency has not
been effectsd and maintained in
the past, has been due solely to
a desire of those higher up to
take care of henchmen in their
party for political purposes.
As stated before, the pupose
of this commission, we believe to
be good, but we do not think any
effective results can be accom-
plished through SO large com
mission. 1t Is to bulky. Be-
Sides sides, It IS p5sr tis5sIl, and this
fact throws damper upon OBJ
tanning practical results, because
the people at once reach the con-
clusion that partisanship will
dominate its work and warp the
minds of those on the commits
sion in their deliberations.
Like all taxpayers, we would
endorse any proposition to bring
about saving in taxes and, at
the same time mean for the
proper administration of the af-
fairs of our state government.
If the Governor is sincere in
his proposition, and not play
ing to the galleries, then we be-
heve he can best accomplish re-
suits by smaller commission
about fifteen notwithstanding
both parties, and composed of
men who have had experience in
government work. More effect
i've results could be accomplished
by a smaller commission, even
if partisan, provided men were
named who had the confidence
of the entire people. If reorgan-
ization is to be had for the pur-
pose of economy and efficiency,
then, let's have it effected out
side of politics.
