ago nor can we run the business of
the state with the same machinery of
1877. With a spirit of cooperation
—and this spirit is essential to the
advancement of our state—we can do
much to improve efficiency in govern-

before we can advance we will be
compelled to see conditions as they
exist and to face them fearlessly.
This; commission should go into -a
thorough and scientific survey of the
government, how it can coordinate,
resulting in the consolidation of all
state functions into 12 or 15 major
departments with responsible heads
under executive control, suggesting
names duties, titles, etc., of each
department, details and steps that
arc necessary; and draft the laws
necessary to complete such a reorgan

the legislature for their approval.
