1 Big Government and the Citizen 1 (1951)

handle is hein.cow/ggbzt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: MEMO LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS 1026-17th ST., N.W., WASHINGTON 6, D. C. Publication No. 164 JANUARY 1951 Price 15 BIG GOVERNMENT AND THE CITIZEN INTRODUCTION Big Government and The Citizen is concerned with the basic principles of efficient organization and administra- tion of government. Its primary purpose is to provide a yardstick against which administration in a specific field -conservation-can be measured. Although this MEMO is particularly directed toward administration of the federal government, many of the principles discussed are applicable to state and local gov- ernment. It is therefore hoped that it may be useful in studies of these other two levels of government, as well as in areas other than conservation at the federal level. Efficiency and responsibility in govermnent have been a major concern of tile League of Women Voters through- out the thirty years of its history. The Convention of 1950 voted to focus this interest on the administration of conservation programs concerned with water, soil and forests. Consequently, Item III of the 1950-52 national Current Agenda was adopted-Reorganization measures to improve administrative efficiency in the development and use of natural resources. The national Board of Directors considered this subject too large to be covered in one publication, so it was decided to issue two MEMO's relating to Item III. Big Govern- ment and The Citizen is the first. The second MEMO will deal with the present administration of conservation programs and proposals for their reorganization.
