Rural Government Changes
Needed in Many Areas

Gin a successful democracy some
opportunity to participate in the ac-
tual workings of government should
be made available to as many people
as possible through local government,
provided the local people want to use
this privilege and are willing to par
ticipate in real local democracy"
said DR.. T. B. Nanny, of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
an address before the Fourteenth An
nual American Country Life confer
ence at Ithaca, New York, this week
"a good many proposals for the re-
organization of local government in
rural areas seem to overlook the i'm
portance of providing this experience
Of doing democracy. But the wide
spread evidence that many existing
units of government in rural areas
are not giving satisfaction in their
present functioning seems to indicate
that at least some of the traditional
forms have outlived their usefulness.
A great many townships, especially,
appear to be in this situation.
among the proposals to reorganize
rural local government" says Doctor
Nanny, lis one which suggests that
farmers trade towns and the sur
rounding countryside be permitted to
incorporate and establish one unit of
local self-government for the consolid-
ated area. This new unit is generally
called rural municipality Conceiv-
ably, single rural municipality might
consist of several small villages and
the country lying around and between
them. In the Far West, where popu-
lation is sparse, a whole county or two
or more adjoining counties or parts of
counties might incorporate as a single
rural municipality
proportional representation in the
chief governing policy determining
body is suggested as a means of pre-
venting minority control of municipal
affairs yet insuring minority represen-
tation on the council. The employ
ment of municipal manager, prop
ably a part time position in smaller
units, is suggested in place of popu-
larly elected mayor"
The speaker also pointed out that
this proposal does not compel any
areas to incorporate but provides a
more adequate basis of town-c country
cooperation in localities where the will
to work together is present. For un-
incorporated areas, especially those in
which the people seem to have little
sense of civic pride or responsibility,
larger, Thoroughly reorganized coun-
ty, serving almost entirely as an area
for the convenient administration of
state determined policies, is suggested
as the most suitable and efficient way
of providing what limited government
al services the state feels should be
rendered to these areas.

it was all wrong.
