They point to a man who launched

County Reorganization

Students OF county government
have long since ceased to have any
respect for the present set-up as a
means to economy or efficiency.
There is q growing demand to abolish
the township. an inheritance from
the old town meeting which fails to
respond to modern conditions and
demands.
Not only is the county small and
compact unit through which local
affairs can be administered with
economy, efficiency and dispatch, but
there are governmental experts who
60 as far as to urge consolidation
Of counties. They would check the
tendency to decentralize functions Of
government on the theory that if this
idea is carried too far, the expense
and responsibility of government
increase Responsibility fixed in
county executives rather than in
from 80 to as high as 60 or 70 po-
litical units with full quota Of Of
ficials means, as general rule, bet
ter government.
Unorganized townships delegate
the handling Of their government,
under existing laws, to the county Of
ficias. Experience shows that pub
lie affairs in these townships often
are handled better and more expen-
ditiously than in the highly organ
lied townships.
If responsibility for all tax and
other fiscal affairs is fixed in the
county, great savings can be effect
ed. Budgets can be drawn more
consistently and along economical
lines. In Burleigh county there are
many assessors doing a job that
could be accomplished by fewer
workers under the efficient direction
of a county assessor.
There are school treasurers and
township treasurers with their clerks
duplicating work that could be
handled at less expense and more eff
ficiently under the county auditor.
Another tendency that has added
to the cost OF government is the
multiplication of school districts.
There are schools in some sections
which have less than 10 pupils en-
rolled according to the governmental
survey commission which is prepar-
ing a report to be submitted to the
legislature. Many of these districts
are finding it hard to maintain a
school. Many consultations could be
made in the interest Of better edu-
cation and economical operation.
The fetish Of home rule and local
control can be carried too far. Coun-
ty control Of educational facilities is
sufficiently home rule in its intent.
to satisfy the most ardent believer
in that theory. If given the power,
the county superintendent Of schools
could coordinate the county school
system and bring the cost down. This
should meet the approval of every
home, now burdened with excessive
school costs because of faulty organ
ization.
Only few reforms that are i'm
perative II taxes are to be lowered
have been pointed out in this edi-
torial. There are many more loose
ends that can be eliminated in the
interests Of greater economy.
